Thanks everyone for checking out the new channel: ruclips.net/channel/UCJzc7TiJ2nnuyJkUpOZ8RKA
Just subscribed to the new channel -- you're 1/10th there already, let's keep it up Answerphiles!
Thanks, you also give meaning to the universe.
Arrghh... i had plans today. Must Not Binge Watch
The giant laser beam is just the reapers from mass effect
Pretty much the only thing I look forward to on Mondays ❤❤❤
I'll never get tired of listening to Brian Cox.
Even when he was a Keyboardist with D-Ream..?? 🤣🤣
He is the spark of wonder and joy we all need. Like camomile for our collective nihilism.
Then why are you here and not on his channel...... JOKING, well said bro.
@@redneckshaman3099 - Yanks tend to... 🤣🤣
Move to England everyone talks like that
Brian Cox has that rare gift of being able to explain incredibly complex things in incredibly simple terms, and he's the kind of guy that you could do that over a pint down at the pub.
I would _so_ buy that man a pint
I'd heard of him around 2010 I think. Honestly, I thought that he was some wildly genius 'Good Will Hunting' type kid because of how young he looks. I, ignorantly, just pushed it off until he was on the JRE for the first time years ago. The fact that he can explain something so simply while keeping it so intriguing that you can't help but want to know more is what makes him a rock star. I mean that literally. He makes science cool. I'm 37 and I know me saying something is cool doesn't hold much meaning for kids. I am also a father of two kids (15 and 22), one in high school the other about to graduate college. I see the way that those generations look at people like him now. There's not a chance in hell that in the 90s he'd have been able to tour around the world like a comedian or musician could. He wouldn't have sold enough tickets to break even much less be profitable. That in itself is, IMHO, is one of the most important things (if not THE most important) to positively impact the future of the human race for thousands of years to come.
@MAIN that is how things get better, 😜
There are two things that never get old. Listening to Brian Cox and Brian Cox himself.
Things can only get better with more Brian Cox
This is a very underrated comment.
Which Brian Cox? You must never confuse the science guy with the actor guy, I once did that with Bill Nye and Bill Nighy, while high.
I had never heard of getting to the black hole singularity as "getting to the end of time". This entire video is blowing my mind. The idea of space time being an emergent phenomena of a deeper theory (and the fact that we can actually study it!) is just mind blowing. I also listen to the Mindscape podcast with Sean Carroll and I'm just in awe of how much we know about the universe (and how much we know we don't know!). I hope you can have him as a guest too.
Yes, a recent idea is that black holes don't collapse to a singularity. Because time slows down as "gravity" gets stronger as you drop into the black hole, then the collapse "stops" because time "stops". I like this idea. Eventually, after billions and billions of years for us, then then collapse will bounce off the quantum singularity. But there is no way to even theoretically test this idea. I think the answer will come out of quantum gravity.
The best way I’ve heard it explained is like this:
to ask what happened before the big bang is like asking, “what’s north of the north pole”. same with a black hole. “What happens after you get to the singularity” is a meaningless question
@@finalGambitShedinja Yes, that is a good answer. However, I have been to mathematical physics seminars where the goal of the speaker 's talk was what happened before the big bang. I was not too impressed. Again, maybe quantum gravity might have answers.
I think I inherently knew that but I had never seen it put into words. Because as you fall through the event horizon, from your perspective the entire universe goes in fast forward. So it begs the question, if you were to fall into a rotating black hole, one that doesn't spaghettifi you instantly, could you actually experience the heat death of the universe? Now that's a depressing thought.
@@sntslilhlpr6601 Curiously, the larger the black hole, the less the tidal forces that try to rip you apart - at least at first. So you might live a few minutes longer. Currently, another aspect that is being debated is that the Hawking radiation produces a "firewall" just inside the event horizon that incinerates everything into subatomic particles.. I'm not sure that I agree with this calculation, but there is only death in a black hole.
"I'm not gonna judge your journey..." That's actually oddly inspiring and nice to hear. I, myself, sometimes judge my own journey. My search history sometimes even weirds me out. If the algorithm were a person I'd feel bad not throwing it some money for therapy. Lol
You’re right. That was a pretty thought provoking line he tossed out there and a good one.
What he says in the first minute about life possibly being rare and our responsibility really resonates with me. Great clip
I love Mr. Cox. Seriously my absolute favorite astrophysicist. His series is amazing, but anytime he speaks i get so totally mind blown.
That's Dr or Professor Cox
@MAIN Just saying, it's a lot of hard work to Professor, he hasn't been Mr for over 20 years
He's a particle physicist.
I GUESS EVERYONE THAT COMMENTED ON MY COMMENT NEEDS COOKIES FOR BEING SO SMART. 🧐
@@michaelgatewood8462 - macadamia cookie for me please.
This is NOT "too much Joe", your content is wonderful and I'm so happy you do all of these videos. Thank you for your awesome content, for being open to discussion on important topics, and for helping me nerd out on the regular.
This idea of "islands of meaning" is a consequence of Sagan's interpretation of conscious life as "a way for the cosmos to know itself". More than self reassuring or giving us too much self-importance it can give us some proper perspective on how isolated this phenomenon really is, and thus how precious it is.
I agree that the woo-woo brigade constantly tries to attach self- important meaning to this stuff, but I think it's possible to see consciousness as as integral element of the way the universe works without thinking we are special. If it's true, it makes us as special as rocks; the existence of rock is important to the existence of the Earth, but if the rocks start believing it's all about them, it sounds a little self involved.
All events are meaningless if there’s nobody to witness it or feel its consequences. The universe doesnt need any meaning. WE need the universe to have a meaning for us.
@@MidianVGC Why would an observer give something meaning, though?
@@MidianVGC I'd take it even further: to the extent that the idea of "the universe" is just another projection of ourselves. Even in trying to express how it doesn't care about us, or how meaningless and small we are in regards to it - this is still a self-centered point of view; we're only trading the grandiose narcissism of believing we are the center of it all for the vulnerable narcissism of our infinite unimportance. When in reality, the universe outside our perception of it is simply not an understandable concept, and any description of it is only ultimately describing ourselves.
@@orchdork775 Familiar with dead or alive cat in a box and until observer see what state cat is it is both.
To answer your q. Knowledge
NEVER too much Joe, just decided to watch you in the last few weeks..... guess what, i have watched so many of your vids its insane, and i realised i LOVE your way of doing this, KEEP IT UP BRO, Aussie guy here so i like the fact that you mention Australia a fair bit also.
Well done with your success and your fun shits and giggles way of educating us. also a 79'er here so not much younger than you mate going by your older vids lol
Thanks man!
Another fantastic channel is Cool Worlds! If you like this, I can almost guarantee you will enjoy that channel
@@MrMxxt Yeah thanks for that, i do watch it and am subbed to it, it is a pretty good one.
Life is just bloody amazing. Blows my mind every day. I have suffered from depression in my life. For those of you who have suffered from depression too, you will know that it’s something that never quite goes away. It lurks in the background. Sometimes it is hidden and that’s a good day and other times its right in your face, that’s a shit day. On a bad day I try to remind myself of how amazingly complicated life is and so beautifully connected it is, this helps a lot. Watching this just reaffirms this to me. Thank you for sharing your conversation Joe.
Congratulations Joe!
You are a legend and you having Dr Brian Cox on your channel is a validation of how amazing you and your channel is. Thank you for making my life better with your wisdom and Witt.
Love it! Count me in!! Brian Cox is such a fascinating human. A rockstar physicist!
Just subscribed to Brilliant from your link! I’ve been postponing it quite a while… but today was the day! Thanks a lot for providing such incentives Joe!
The studio lighting on both you guys is tremendous! Best I've seen yet in YT. ( I'm a lighting guy, hence the interest)
I remember watching his BBC videos a few years ago. Now it seems Brian Cox is everywhere and I love it. The man is brilliant
It's challenging (as a philosophy nerd) but I will resist ranting about value theory here... suffice it to say, in the words of Alan Watts, "you are the universe experiencing itself."
I'm a big fan of Alan for sure. I assume he would disagree with Brian on the stance of life being the meaning of the universe. Alan has always attributed respect and love towards 'non living things'.
The presumption that there is a meaning in the universe to beginn with is rather biased to beginn with
@@benjaminweber9301 He didn't presume that, though. Dr. Cox very specifically said that meaning is derived from consciousness and without consciousness/life there is no meaning.
I remember when he was a keyboard player in a band I had heard of. I was much younger tho heh. In 2009ish is when he had his education finished and had been hosting space and physics documentaries. I can definitely say in the last few years the weary he explains this and the milk dropped in water analogy he got my attention. I think I relate to trying to use my, or, his ways of communicating thoughts from an artistic eWorld view where everything can be viewed in far more abstract ways than people who just aren’t into art, or as much as others. Obviously artists are most interested in art lol.
Scott and Cox, what a treat!
Much love from the UK ❤
This conversation should be In Spotify. Grate work as always Joe. Greetings from Argentina.
It's on there!
@@joescott thanks 👍😊
I was already subscribed ;-) If we are ultimately annihilated by an alien species at least we'll know the universe still have observers ;-)
Unless they're grey nano goo or Von Neumann probes.
Yeah, ones that like anihilating other observers
Brian Cox is a British national treasure
Already listened on Spotify like a week ago, but still watched this whole video. love you guy’s
The beautiful thing about there being no inherent meaning of life is that you get to choose.
What choice is there if you live in Niger or Mali or some other godawful country?
I wouldn't be surprised if this new podcast consistently breaks 300k+ views an episode in a year. I'm really excited and I'm looking forward to getting to hear you speak in a more casual long form context!
thats not joe
@@cameronmadden8723 joe is joe the other person is not joe. joe and not joe talking
Brian Cox kicks ass. He has a way of presenting enormously complex ideas in a manner in which even us common idiots can understand what he is talking about, even if only superficially.
Saw Dr Cox a few weeks ago in DC. Tickets were wildly expensive but it was worth seeing one of my all time idols in person.
I have watched a lot of different people who do similar channels and similar stuff, but you Joe make learning about something fun and entertaining! I think if I was a teacher or if I had children, I would use your channels for teaching them science and whatever else you may talk about, because you could easily draw young people into learning more about science and even decide on a career in science too! Most channels on science tend to talk too fast and NEVER explain what they are meaning by certain complex things, they just say it and go on to the next thing! That tends to make anything boring or too complicated for not just kids, but adults too to keep with it! But you make it easy to understand and fun too! So I subbed to your new channel too!
This piece links closely with another article I read recently about how a meteorite, discovered in 2012 has recently been discovered to contain an assortment of amino acids, necessary for the formation of life. While only another "piece" of the primordial puzzle, I found this discovery particularly important since the age of the rock pre-dated the formation of our own Sun, which means these very building blocks of life could likely exist everywhere throughout the universe, waiting to collide with a planet in which the goldilocks conditions allow these elements to form more complex life.... like our own planet.
HOLY CRAP
so 1 in a trillion ant such tough odds if there are a trillion X trillion possibles
or even a billion X trillion or even a million X trillion
@@plo8monster113 even with odds being one in a trillion, when you roll billions of dice a day for billions of years you hit the jackpot quite a few times.
You seem like such a great modest guy! Watching you since the beginning. Keep it up & stay humble!
As a huge coffee fan I have to say, "There can never be too much Joe!!!!" **Vibrates out of the room**
Love Brian, he’s the reason I got in to a lot Of science through his secrets of the solar system show. Hence forth I got into your channel. You could say he’s the reason I sub too you lol
Yes mate!!! A joe Scott podcast Chanel is perfect!!! Can’t wait to deep dive. Subbed new channel
Beautiful description of the value of life in the universe and the importance of protecting it.
You're so lucky to be able to interview him
when talking about the great filter, my personal theory is that its the ability to make fire. That is because it seem like the most useful thing we did giving us access to tons more tools but also we don't see other animals capable of doing it. Its still stupid hard for a human with only sticks to do, and it isn't something natural section seem capable of providing animals with.
Can't light a fire on Mars or Venus. It checks out. I mean you probably could but I've never read or heard anyone describing what that might take.
Can you imagine how good and tasty the first piece of charbroiled meat was?
Medium rare brontosaurus steak! Yummm!
I'm sure we did not invent fire or the wheel. We observed them and then discovered we could create them as nature had done before us.
I'm subbed to all three channels. You are the only RUclipsr I would even think about subbing to that many channels for.
Thanks for doing this. i find it much easier to follow podcasts when they're on youtube as im on youtube frequently, so its easy to see new ones. doesnt need to be video recorded, can be just a picture of your channel logo
love brian cox so much i could watch him all day, what a great video
Amazing video! To me, our search for life is not a true search for life. We search, necessarily of course, for life that sends out radio waves. In an absurdly big Universe, searching for intelligent signals at our tiny sliver in time, is like only looking for the letter Q in the Library of Congress.
Love your work!
Fish are obviously not possible because I dipped a pail of water from the ocean and it was empty void of any fish. I did this test 100 times to be certain.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful discussion, Joe. We lost Carl Sagan far too soon, it's good to hear Brian continue some of his ideas for a new audience.
It's so cool to see how far Joe has gotten with his youtube channel.. I remember back when i first subscribed, my first comment on his video was me saying that i had no idea why his channel was almost unknown at the time.. I think he had like 30k subs or something like that, but the "production" was worth millions of subscribers.. now he is at 1.3million and growing.. so cool.
My two favorite people discussing my favorite subject. Perfect. Thank you.
Time is so mind boggling to me. And when we speak of how old the universe is, our estimate is only relative to us. How old is the universe inside a black hole? Or at the horizon? Or at the singularity? Or even, for a photon of light traveling at the speed of light, which experiences time differently? Doesn’t it?
It's all relative.
You can NEVER have too much Joe. And NO I’m not stalking you….
…you smell different when you’re awake.
I'm subscribed to the podcast feed but I haven't heard all the episodes yet. I can tell by the ones I've heard so far that it's going to be awesome (sorry Neil) and have a lot of listeners.
Dude, I even watch your ads since they are motivational even by themselves! Some might even say they are…..BRILLIANT!!🎉
Your success is so well deserved Joe! You seem to be such a good and humble guy. If I didn't have a girlfriend, I would marry Joe!
Even the many, many sci-fi books I’ve read seem to concede we don’t have much chance of reaching another Galaxy, with the exception of one where we reached Andromeda about 2 million years from now. The Milky Way is our only chance to find another abiogenesis or intelligent civilization.
All depends on the timescale you're considering. If our descendants can keep going for a few billion years, they can easily make it to other galaxies. Especially Andromeda, which we will anyway fall into during that time. Hard to write an interesting story about beings so unimaginably more advanced than us though. I suggest we upload our minds to the cloud, and come back to the topic in a billion years or so
His work in D,Ream was great too, he’s genuinely one of my fav one hit wonder.
Before D:ream there was Dare. Brian played keyboards on their first album. Amazingly good 1st album. A soft rock classic, IMO.

Brian Cox is awesome, very smart obviously but also a brilliant communicator (like Joe!). Maybe the only contributor here who has a UK no1 song too!
Thank you for saying "Observable Universe". WE are still fleas on the back of an elephant trying to describe our all of existence. Too often our newest telescopes are supposed to "See back to the beginning of time" or with factual conviction, "The universe was this size and is growing by this amount". These assumptions are just that, based upon our meniscal point of view. I think that perspective is important.
About the possibility of there having been a second genesis of life on earth: I've wondered for a long time (and not been able to find out) whether anyone has ever tested the living organisms around deep ocean vents. Do they in fact have the same kinds of DNA (or RNA) and proteins that the surface life has? Their biochemistry is quite different.
Would mass extinctions... be considered as mass genesis's?
Of all the life that has been tested, it all has the same base code, that is in everything from a cold virus to a fruit fly to people. The vent bacteria and viruses have it to, but some have been found to be older than the dinosaurs supposedly
YOU LUCKY BUGGER !
Brian Cox was my childhood !
I grew up on his documentaries. I'd watch them over and over again. He's the biggest reason I am who I am today.
What an absolute and unexpected treat this is! I never imagined it'd be a thing - one of my favourite RUclips celebrities casually conversing and sharing ideas with a well known expert (and national treasure to me) it's surely testament to the openness of science and the search for understanding, kudos to you both!
Brian Cox is just amazing, I wish all physics teachers would explain the topics with the joy Brian has
This verse that we live in is incredibly vast, and I believe the building blocks of life, DNA are everywhere, I believe life is easy to make but surviving is the key whether it be a planet not yet ripe for life, or if life destroys itself before anyone notices. For all we know when dinosaurs were large and in charge on Earth LOL, Mars had lakes rivers and life abundant. You see life is there it's really just a matter of Time Actual...
Love Brian Cox, I recorded several of his shows, so cerebral and ...joyfully philosophical.
Absolutely enjoy watching, thanks for doing this 💞
I find his premise that consciousness is the only source of meaning to be equally inane and unsupported. Stars and planets might not be self-reflective, but they represent colossal order, movement, development, and therefore information. Life carries a greater degree of complexity, and is the next stage up the ladder of organizational structures… but that doesn’t reduce the competitive value of everything beneath it to zero. The notion is destructively biased and circular, warped to the conscious perspective, and feels like an extension of the human-centric fallacy.
I agree. It's seems like a very pompous assumption that we are the only thing that gives meaning to the universe. It's a very atheistic approach, but tbf there is literally no evidence for anything else. But there's also no evidence for atheism, so I think drawing any conclusions like that is just arrogant.
Yes, life is very complex and consciousness even more so, but look at the complexity of stars, neutron stars, and black holes, one of the things Dr. Cox said he's actively working on.
We can barely see the end of the observable universe and we don't even know how big it is because of the cosmic horizon. And we certainly can't see outside of the whole thing. Who's to say that there isn't someone who can? And we're just an interesting blip on their radar? Just some backwater species who actually managed to start to comprehend the confines of what its living in?
You can call it God if you want. But for all we know they could just be some alien running a program on his computer. And yeah that's a depressing thought, but I find it an appropriate point to make when the other guy is talking about how the universe has no meaning without smart people...
At 54 years old I would've thought Dr. Brian Cox would've grown out of trying to look like Justin Bieber.
you are but a slave to your perception of time, Brian has had that hairstyle since before bieber was famous
Great job Joe! I've been watching for a number of years and I'm always impressed with how the channel keeps growing steadily all because of your hard work! Thanks for continuing to deliver exceptional content!
Brian Cox is the best. I can listen to him for hours.
Thank you for uploading the video version. I'm going to see his show I can't wait.
Thanks for putting podcasts up on RUclips. I don't use other platforms so I am glad to be able to watch (listen?) to them. I'm subbed!
What an amazing interview Joe. Brian Cox as a guest, bravo! He is an amazing individual; scientist, pop artist, etc.
I look forward to watching & coming along for the ride on your 3rd program. Your other two programs are premium 5☆+ !!
Keep up your great work Joe, & I look forward to seeing who your up & coming guests are, topics, etc.
Cheers,
Stephen 🇨🇦
I just love listening to Brian Cox, he always amazes me in the topic he is talking about. He makes us understand what he is talking about so easy. I'm sure there is life in planets out there. Time will tell.
How do you NOT love Professor Brian Cox...
I really wanted him to get COSMOS... he would have been PERFECT for that series...
Omg can't wait to listen. Going right to Spotify after this video. Dr. Becky is awesome
I find most everything Joe chooses to focus on informative and his delivery is sublime.
OH MY GOD!!!!! CONVERSATIONS WITH JOE IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!!! Sorry for all caps. I. Just really excited. I joined instantly!!! BAM.. Joined. Love you Joe. Been following you since the beginning.
@Joe Scott I've been subbed to you since nearly your start & you've never failed to deliver "the goods"!❤💜🦄
*TY* for ALL the joy you bring. Thanks for your own curiosity & especially for the myriad content (all of it SO fascinating). Thanks for your 100٪ educationally enriching, diverse, & plentiful topics, & your own, & others'/your many exciting guests' varied perspectives. Thanks for broaching so many disciplines.
Thank you for the best sorts of answers!!
Love you mate!!
Brian Cox is one of my favorite science communicators; knowledgeable, well spoken and not condecending or close-minded and he'll always go there with the theory. What a champ.
Try cool worlds on YT and you'll find someone way better.. Dr David Kipping..
Outstanding Love it , Thanks You Both 💞🙏🏼
Always a pleasure to listen to Dr. Brian, great video and thanks for the new channel.
This is the best thing I've heard in years. Two of my favorite taking together.
So, so good. You both are a blessing to this island of meaning. Thank you for expanding what you offer the world. :)
This is awesome! Thanks Joe
Brilliant collab Joe! Never knew I needed this until now
Excellent episode thanks Joe
Thanks for sharing this, Joe. This was great
I have not listened to the podcast but this video just blew my mind. I’m glad you are posting them on RUclips
I watched Brian Cox's show live a couple of nights ago in Ottawa Canada. Awesome loved it.
Subscribed, so excited!
You are the BEST
PERIOD
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Finally! Thank you for bringing these to You Tube!!!!
Wow, more Joe? Thank you so much.
i'm loving your podcast- good job!
Thanks Joe. You rock.
I LOVE the new channel idea! I tend to fall asleep during podcasts and am happy that all my Joe is now in one place.
Really cool, Thanks Joe.
Minor flex, Brian Cox is my lecturer. Have to say almost one of my favourite lecturers on the course just so good at explaining the most complicated concepts.
So glad to see Dr. Brian Cox talking to one of my favourite RUclipsrs, he's half the reason I love science! Yay! :D
Subbed! Joe, I'm so glad you created this other channel. You literally just made me late for work because I got so caught up in your video. Worth it.
Good for you, Joe. It must be awesome to get to talk to some of these people.
Can't wait to see what's next!
An absolutely brilliant view of humanity and intelligence and our reason for existence.
Thank you
Brian's insights are really thought-provoking
Fantastic conversation, Joe! Thanks a bunch! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
