You realize this guy speaking calls himself doctor and all he has according to the video is a bachelor degree and none of his peers he ever speaks to calls him doctor... Should make you think 9 times.
Planet 9, if it exists, probably has not subsantially cleared its orbit and would be a dwarf planet, no matter how big. Would be interesting to see them try to spin it.
One of several aspects about your channel that I really like is the way you read up on the work of the guests and really prepare ahead of time, rather than just wing it. It makes for a much more interesting and revealing talk.

@@johnbaker1256 If dark matter is a wimp that doesn't interact with itself significantly, I don't think it would form a dense blob like a planet. Unless it's something else of course. What do you think it is?

Great talk. Many thanks. At 29:40 You mention Eduardo Marturet. I fell off my chair as I hadn't thought of him since we studied at the same music school together. Thanks for a great blast from the past.
Great show as always, no speculations without substantive facts, pinning down a theory into something real, no automatic dismissal of religious beliefs... love this channel.
The idea of Planet 9 is so much fun, the thought of never finding it is kind of sickening. But that's the kind of game the universe likes to play with us.
Is there any chance Planet 9 can account for the regular cooling and warming cycles we see on the planet? I'm thinking snowball earth, younger dryas and warm periods which we don't seem as apt to give cool names.
You're thinking of the Milankovich cycles? (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles) Any effect from a Planet 9 (*if* it exists - it's a proposal, not a confirmed discovery) would be far, far smaller than the effects from Jupiter, Mars and Venus, because Planet 9 (if it exists) is hundreds of times as far away as Jupiter (thousands of times as far as Venus and/ or Mars at their closest.), and distance really matters in orbital dynamics. Sorry, there's no "get out of doing something about global warming FREE!" card here, no matter how devoutly you wish for one.
Amazing work done by this team. Absolutely incredible. Seeing that Uranus is at a near 90 degree tilt, it makes sense to stop expecting everything in the solar system to be uniform and on a simple plain.
Konstantin and Mike Brown have known for some time, I love the 2 how they work together....and Konstantin is just brilliant! I wonder how long before they will go ahead and release the news? It is why we are having climate change..solar flares...crazy weather...it happened in the past and we are the ones to see this again..What an exciting and terrifying time to be alive! God bless everyone! Houston proud!
Let’s say it is a small black hole with the mass of a super earth. Could we then use that black hole to gain speed on missions out of the solar system? And how efficient/faster could that potentially make our probes?
@@original..mrknowitall Nonsense. First of all, if a black hole is less massive than a star, then the barycenter of the system will be inside the star, not in the black hole. Why would it be a primordial black hole? And also, the smallest stellar mass blackholes have masses of about 5 solar masses. If such a black hole was there, then the Sun would be orbiting it. But that would mean that the solar system would have formed as a binary system and the more massive star then would have died billions of years before the Sun and if planets accreted around the Sun, they would have been destroyed by the Supernova.
Fun fact: holtz’s Mars symphony, the most famous glorious part of that one, was the inspiration for the main rhythm to Black Sabbaths first song, Black Sabbath, on their album Black sabbath. So cool constantine was able to participate in an extension for planet nine 🤟🏻
Love all of the content John Michael but I especially love seeing the photos of the big hydraulic cranes involved in telescope installation because my working life for near on 40 yrs is cranes and rigging. 🤙
Calling Planet 9 "david bowie" is abhorrent and absurd. Even calling it "nibiru" wouldn't be that ridiculous. I hope they rethink this terrible idea. Pop culture is shallow and not worthy. We have great musicians from centuries ago that deserved to be taken seriously instead. Its offensive considering a low level musician from the latest decades to be name after ANYTHING serious. PS.: great interview btw.
17:48 Why not call it Terminus. He was the roman god that protected border markers ;-) And what are TNOs when not boarder markers of the solar system 😛
And them what when be find planets 10, 11 and so on? Don't go naming planets for their relitive place in the solar system, since future discoveries might shift that.
@@RipOffProductionsLLC He would still be sheperading the TNOs. The other Planets can do something else if they want to. ;-) But anyway , when we rename Uranus to George again and call Neputune , Saturn and Jupiter Paul, John and Ringo , then I'm ok to Call a possible 9th planet David Bowie :-) Pluto has to be renamed to Iggy Pop then.
@@Gpcas9 The only new names for Saturn that I will accept happen to be Ringo or Sauron. But then we'd have to rename Venus to Lady Gaga and Mercury to Taylor Swift, so this gets out of control quickly...
Maybe this is a modern version of the Vulcan search. Vulcan as a theorised planet within the orbit of Mercury. It turned out that it was space itself that was altered by the proximity of the Sun but that wasn't understood at the time. Maybe Planet Nine is similarities the result of a misunderstanding of the laws of physics not yet understood.
Hi John, love your channels. You're brilliant and I'm sure it's both an honor for you and your guests to be interviewed on your channel. Konstantin is a rock star astrophysicist. Ask him for a recent photo, he'll give it to you... he looks great in that image you took from his Lex Fridman podcast appearance, but just ask your guest for original photo's.
Konstantin Batygin's voice sounds like if Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men decided to get into astronomy instead of murder. His inflection, pacing, and diction are dead-on, even if the tonality is slightly higher. Very neat.
@@patrickday4206 There's one due to pass through in about 6-to-12 orbits of the average Planet 9. (40 to 50 thousand years - I forget the details. Happens all the time.)
Interesting that @21:00 mins you mention it could have once been a water world.. I mean if planet 9 is proven to be real, we are talking about actually having to accept that the sumerian/babylonian creation "myth" might actually have been real events or a real observation. It is basically what Tiamat was before she was hit by Marduk, and the remains becoming our earth and the astroid field. It means we would have to accept that the Annu might actually have been real, and could have been a space-faring civilization. I dont mean little green aliens or greys. Idk about all that, but 'from the stars to earth they came'. Thats what they wrote on the tablets.
Please for the love of God drop sitchins fiction okay? You can easily find the actual translations of sumerian tablets and their creation story instead of "translations" by a guy who couldn't translate sumerian and made a bunch of bs up.
The talks about this planet has been going for years and years. At this point one has to be careful that, even tho there's countless papers on this subject, it won't become fiction based on what it could be if it won't ever be discovered. Good talk, i just hope that it will reveal itself soon.
Fantastic interview, John! Thanks! 😃 I don't think MOND is a good candidate either, but well... We thought there was a planet called Vulcan before Einstein, so... Who knows. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
There are still several dozen papers published monthly on MOND. Some people don't think it's dead - and not just Mordecai Milgrom. But I should add that other papers on dark matter and dark energy outnumber MOND by several hundred or so to one. The overwhelming majority of astronomers and cosmologists consider MOND to not even be a distraction.
Can you do a video on imaging super resolution? Is there a limit to it? Instead of making larger telescopes, can't we instead create imaging technology so high that we can view distant objects in super-resolution? Is there any research in this field relating to astronomy?
If Planet IX has a few moons , and if its orbit is more than 550 AU an observatory on a moon beyond the focus of the Solar Gravitational Lens should work wonders.
Dear all, I just want to say that I am subscribed to Event Horizon because I love to hear the voice of the lady who speaks at the begining of each program, to introduce the guest and the subject of the interview, she is so nice; I am also subscribed because I like John Michael Godier's soft voice and I love the topics he addresses with each guest, specially the questions. The questions are very smart and to the point. I am an astronomy teacher, so I enjoy all of this and use it to complement my talks to my students at the Galileo University in Guatemala city.
That is wonderful to hear. So glad to have you here with us and it's amazing to know that our videos are helping develop new scientists! We wish all of them the very best for their futures and we can't wait to get a chance to interview them one day about their own discoveries.
Mass is a different factor than density though. If it's just a modest multiple of Earth masses, if it's an object that skews heavily in composition towards transuranic-elements, then it could be rather small if it somehow doesn't collect a significant gaseous atmosphere. (And that would still be a unique find without going into something more exotic like the lower bounds of what may be possible with a black hole.)
My suspicion is that Planet 9 is a dark body object covered in soot. Why would this be so? The elements and distance from a Star that the planet forming rings of debris are pushed away to from the Star at the Fusion point follow a fairly normal pattern. Rock and metals stay closer to the Star, gasses are pushed further and ash, soot and most light debris is pushed the furthest from the Star at Fusion. What is also important is how fast the rotation of the molecular cloud spins at when reaching Fusion. The faster the spin governs the distance debris will reach from the Star Formation. In the inner Solar System we see very little light particle matter and we now know all Star formations create a significant amount of soot and ash. These particles would be the last to be coalesced therefore producing actual black bodies in the absence of liquid surfaces. So Planet 9 should be called Sooty and its Moon called Sweep. So it is probably a light Carbon Planet. Its Albedo would be circa 5%. Or 95% invisible.
Makes perfect sense. The comets that come through from the oort cloud look like asteroids until the sun's heat reveals the tail. So it's GOTTA be dark! That's why they find it, not. Found it, sorta!💯🖤
So basically nothings changed? Orbits are still being inaccuratly predicted, which means there must be another body perterbing orbits, we looked where this other body should be, and we did not find it? I'm still gonna watch the whole episode. I'll check back to see how wrong I was.
The problem is these are based on gravity only models, and the notion of snowball objects (comets) beyond is also being shown to be wrong from observations. Looking forward to the day we get past these now discredited ideas which are blocking our progress.
How do the fields in the standard model intersect? Is baryonic matter the intersections? Would this mean that gravity is the force of the intersections and dark energy is the lack or intersections meaning that gravity and dark matter are the same force? Could the big bang be the physical limit that gravity and dark energy can be opposing?
Dark Matter is a fiction, I have always thought that creating imaginary products to support a theory where observation conflicts with it was poor science and with the data coming from JWSTthe call to dump both dark matter and dark energy is indeed increasing.
What's ironic is if this planet exists, we're having such a hard time finding it, but it's the most likely planet seen from other stars using the "masking" method (not wobble or transit method).
The term comes from Akkadian and translates to transition/point of crossing. If it is actually there, and has been idk it seems fitting. It's been transitioning and crossing all this time, just beyond our reach.
Brown and Batygin proposed planet 9 eight years ago despite the fact that our knowledge of objects in the outer solar system is very limited. It looked liked observational bias to me back then and still does today. I’ll believe it when and if they actually find it.
We got Planet 9 before GTA 6.

I really look foward to a one hour discussion. These are busy scientists, I know. But after waiting one week it's a bit of let down.
Could Planet 9 be effecting Polaris and or Betalguse? These items I assume are too far out for this but alot seems to be happening?..
Planet Bob.
I understood that reference.
Er, what in the sam hill does "Thleek Hith thi Theketh ih thi Hethleethik" mean?
Minerva is the fourth asteroid located in the main belt known to possess two moons.
How do the fields in the standard model intersect? Is baryonic matter the intersections? Would this mean that gravity is the force of the intersections and dark energy is the lack or intersections meaning that gravity and dark matter are the same force? Could the big bang be the physical limit that gravity and dark energy can be opposing?
Dark Matter is a fiction, I have always thought that creating imaginary products to support a theory where observation conflicts with it was poor science and with the data coming from JWSTthe call to dump both dark matter and dark energy is indeed increasing.
What are some possible names for planet 9
When they finally find it they have to name it Niburu.
Nemesis
Absolutely
Yes and Yes!
Seconded
The conspiracy theory nutjobs would go even more insane if they named it that. The joke would be hilarious, but it's not worth it lol
Oh my gosh! I am so excited!
Wow so far the closest i got to fresh release, im hyped lets goooo
I was waiting for this discussion, and then its only 36 minutes long. Is there a reason your "podcast" isn't longer than a sitcom episode?
Could this not be the ort cloud and outer solar system of Holz Star 70k years ago disturbing our outer solar system and ort cloud?
I feel like this is a probable solution. Past start interactions disturbed their orbits.
Do other stars have oort clouds?
Whoa. If we can get actual direct observations this will be almost as big as discovering alien life. Awesome stuff.
Why?
Seriously, why? I find it nothing more than moderately interesting, and nothing changes here.
@@imacmill You're a fun person 😊
@@matusmotlo3854 Everyone says so, which now includes you.
@@imacmill "I am rubber you are glue" ass person 😂😂😂
Can some help me how we can find k2 18b but not certain if there is planet 9?
David Bowie? Seriously?
Planet nine should be named after planet one: Freddie!
Great interview great guest
What's ironic is if this planet exists, we're having such a hard time finding it, but it's the most likely planet seen from other stars using the "masking" method (not wobble or transit method).
Planet nine needs to be named Newton. Named after the god of the laws of motion.
if it exists, how long would it take a probe to get to it if we sent it like the new horizons spacecraft we sent to pluto?
Expecting a range here obviously since we don't know where exactly along it's orbit it currently is right now
It should be noted that whatever "Planet 9" is, no matter it's size or composition, it isn't a planet by definition since it hasn't cleared its orbit.
Is it kind of like the Astroid belt?
Going with the idea that Planet 9 has a significant inclination, what do the simulations say about its eccentricity?
Niburu !! The Annunaki are on their way back
Zacharia Stichen was right...coming for that earth gold soon baby!
I've only recently heard about this guy.
A tribute to Monty Python and describes the size of Planet 9: Biggus Dickus
Just use the old name, Nibiru
I really believe they should as well. It's also a really good sounding name and fitting for a planet imo.
The term comes from Akkadian and translates to transition/point of crossing. If it is actually there, and has been idk it seems fitting. It's been transitioning and crossing all this time, just beyond our reach.
Please no , I can't have that rabbit hole on the 24th of 2012 again 😳 can't have a self fulfilling prophesy
I like Nibiru too but I have to say it would be pretty cool to name it David Bowie.
@@Jesse-ih9ththe man from earth
Brown and Batygin proposed planet 9 eight years ago despite the fact that our knowledge of objects in the outer solar system is very limited. It looked liked observational bias to me back then and still does today. I’ll believe it when and if they actually find it.
