Only problem is, because of the ADHD, every time I read, I come up with 15 or 20 more subjects that I want to read about. I can try keeping a list, but it eventually becomes so unwieldy that it's impossible to follow through with anything on it.

I watched this 50 years ago as a 13-year-old. Clarke went on to describe the upcoming Apollo 17 launch, which would be the first one at night. It enchanted me and I counted the days until December. The Cavett show was my reason living back then. Never missed it.
Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World was a series that left an indelible mark on my youth. The theme music alone was anthemic, then couple it with the crystal skull that brought the programme's intro to its conclusion. Both frightening and awe inspiring in equal measure.
All chat shows are these days are actors promoting their latest films, and the interviewers have to sign contracts so they avoid any awkward areas of the interviewee's life.
This is one of the very best channels on RUclips. What a treasure trove of content. God I wish there was a way to get access to the full range of interviews. I wish Dick was still interviewing people, his style stands head and shoulders above his peers.
Arthur C. Clark is unique in that he is one of the few humans to exist that understood a multitudinous assortment of things on an ultra-deep level. Listening to him was and still is a valuable educational experience. Cheers
Bob Newhart had a comedy bit about a guy abducted by aliens and taken to their planet and then returned to earth. "Sir would you say these aliens are more advanced than we are"? "Yes, they are definitely more advanced" "How far ahead of us are they"? "Two, maybe three weeks."
Arthur C. Clarke was from Somerset, one of the few parts of southern England to retain the accent most people in southern England had round about the time of 18th century. I think his accent is much closer to that of the original colonists than a modern 'standard' southern English accent
I was thinking that I had never heard his accent anywhere else. .It appears to be a perfect cross between an English and American accent which means your explanation makes perfect sense.
That’s a fascinating comment. Clarke’s accent sounded, to me, a lot more “North American” than English. If his accent is, in fact, much closer to that of the original colonists, that would go some way to explaining why North American accents are what they are today.

I watched an interview on him and he said that most of the members of the Flat Earth Society (real thing) joined it pretty much as a gag ---- and that part of admission was writing out an essay to prove our planet's flat. He said that so many of the society members has made pretty convincing arguments --- if you ignored some facts. He said most members did it on a lark.
“...HARD TO IMAGINE THE REVERSE !”. LOL. He is SO ASTUTE. 💜. You could spend at least a year, reading all that Sir Clarke ever wrote... i’ve never had the chance to do that, but i would !

Even 60 years on Clarke's novels still engage me where Asimov, Bradbury, and Heinlein just seem sophomoric. Philip K Dick holds up as a great story teller but Clarke engages my brain!
Fascinating. The idea of alien life being different from us is always assumed but it could be just like us but slightly more evolved. I think that is what Charles Darwin was getting at in his book the "On The Origins of the Species" - that all evolution of life is evolving towards a single species and we are a step on that path (maybe not the final destination ?)
Except we know now via the experiencers over the decades that they are millions. If not billions of years ahead of us. That hypothesis of Clarke and others is just wrong. All the abduction literature tells us otherwise. Sorry to have to break to news to you by that way. If you’ve been keeping up with the Grusch and congress hearings after the tic tac debacle you will also know that to be true. “They” / whoever they are , are light years and so far ahead you wouldn’t even be able to recognise them except anything but pulsating light.
I agree, they would! Because no intelligent alien would ever come to earth!!! They’ed either get shot, eaten or corrupted by us, they would get a million miles from earth, see us killing each other for no good reason and say , ‘let’s give this one a miss’
50 years ago Arthur C. Clarke predicted EVERYTHING that exists now but didn't exist back then. ... and he NEVER made a mistake or miscalculation ... not even ONE.
have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rare much like the other ones.
Assuming the closest “intelligent life” to Earth is a long distance away - odds say it would be - if aliens visited us they would have to be advanced way ahead of us. The furthest we’ve had humans in space is one light second - one light second! - away so they’d have to travel a huge constant factor further than that, too big to work in my head.
Even the great predictors of the past , like Jules Verne and H.G.Wells made ludicrous predictions. I bought a very interresting book about past predictions, from the 18th 19th centuries, mostly. BUT, Well's predicted, in 1911, that all future Wars, would be fought from Hot Air Balloons. Forgetting that the heavier than air Aircraft of the Wright Brother's , had flown 8 yrs before, AND, Frenchman Louis Bleriot had flown the English Channel, only 2 years before; I find his prediction incredible. I think he was in ore of the massive Zeppelins flying longish distances then. Of course, within 3 years, WW1 had begun, and maybe he changed his mind, especially as Huge German Bomber's had Bombed London by then.
But hot air still is the most crucial technology in warfare. Hot air like “there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq,” and “North Vietnam blatantly attacked us in the Gulf of Tonkin.”
Examining 50 million pairs of star pictures. That's 1.5 year non-stop if you look at each pair for 1 second. I think Mr Clarke is exaggerating slightly... :P
The gravitational findings have proven to be an error: the used telescope was rotated by gears. The moving of the gears caused a small vibration, which éxactly was the gravitational error. Sorry guys: no planet X.
Well if they're we're any it's because they would be smart enough to stay away from us, basically, which of course would only make it easier for us to detect them. Pretty sure...
He’s from the south west peninsula of England, what we call ‘the west country’. It’s the norm (or at least was). It’s where a lot of the early American colonial accents originated.
Why tho? Alien life would have started evolving at the same time. I don’t understand why there would be an assumption that alien life would advance faster.
Well universe is not that much older than solar system but consider how fast humans evolved and how genetically similar we are to simpler life forms. Difference of one year can be sequence evolved to comprehend nature of stars. Difference of billions of years wont necessarily make us interior design objects for superior specie, but they wouldnt understand how evolution made us so imbecile we barely speak in vocals.
Astrophysicists estimate that there's 200 billion trillion stars in the universe. Some guess 2trillion to 5 trillion galaxies in our COSMOS ! Mankind is still in its infancy re what is out there, and what life do exist on planets in the goldilocks zone that rorate around their sun. There will be millions of habitable planets in our cosmos. On some, life will be developed beyond our comprehension .

"Magic" is just science beyond our capability to understand. Hence the baggy-armed woman who seems unnaturally present at the beginning of this vid. Who is she?
Clarke was an excellent writer, a highly intelligent and fascinating man and, it seems, a really pleasant and friendly character. Unfortunately he had a blind spot in that he thought science could explain more than it can and failed to give due weight to other philosophy. The fact that there are so many billions of planets most certainly does not logically mean that there is life, let alone more intelligent life, on any of them. The laws of probability are scientific in one sense but by their very nature cannot be conclusive.
But if there are billions or for all we know infinite planets and or even galaxies, doesn't it then follow that there are billions and or infinite possibilities?
@@robert8884 Yep. Agreed. I'm not arguing against possibilities. I'm arguing against using probabilities to underpin theories that they cannot possibly validate.
@@jonb4020you’re wrong either way. We know from so many credible eyewitnesses, experiencers and even investigative journalists that non human intelligence has been interacting with planet earth for a VERY long time. Your scientific allusions sound quaint. You need to follow the whistleblowers and exploitive commentators. You’re simply wrong.
Cavett was a bit too self deprecating here. Just let the man talk though, its Arthur C. Clarke! And flat-earther's even get a mention, who'd have thought they've been around that long.
that was so old that the ideas there are either totally redone by now or dead. just because someone 20 years ago said something doesn't mean its any more true than people today.
No one has ever claimed to have been abused by Clarke, a police investigation found him innocent and all accusations unfounded. I would suggest you find better things to do with your time than getting off by slandering a person who's intellect is clearly beyond your comprehension.
