I love it when guests like Dr Tom say things like ""there is a valuable conversation here". I highly encourage younger astronomers and physicists to go out on the limb and speak what they know best about through their research. I found Dr. Tom's insight very helpful in my personal understanding of the variables that can determine star or planet formation. In my early days of being an IT technician, I would sometimes hesitate to give my full opinion based on my research, to higher ups who had asked questions of me. As the years pass by I realized that very often I had the most credible and relevant knowledge in the entire room. It's okay if we're wrong sometimes, because if we're actually doing the work, the majority of the time we will be right. Young researchers are equally as likely to be part of the cutting edge of research as veterans, and their insight is valued. This is also one of the things I love about the Liuniverse podcast. I can often see how guests feel like they might not have a lot to share, but when they actually get into it, and start describing what they know, I always learn something new from them. And Chuck is great at helping put that new information into context as well. It's actually very difficult to find this kind of detailed information elsewhere in physics and astrophysics/cosmology podcasts. So thank you all for contributing this. I learn something new every time I watch The Liuniverse podcast, and I cannot say that for all the podcasts that I watch. Keep up the great work!
Dude, I love it. I hadn't even finished the video when I left my first comment, and there Dr Tom is saying that he's pivoting in his career path in order to try to streamline the providing of this kind of information to people. And then Chuck says "if you have any ideas, let us know". Here's my idea: You're doing it perfectly right now. Just keep doing it. It's all about consistency over time. And since we re nerding out right now, I will pose this question to all of us: "Because there is nothing static in this entire universe, is one of the metrics we value the most in any system (knowingly, or unknowingly) the longevity of its existence?"
How did Tycho Brahe and Kepler knew the distance (including apogee and perigee) between the Sun and the 6 planets including the earth? In Kepler's book, Harmonices Mundi, has the table and it's amazingly accurate. How do we measure those distances today?

This was a joy to watch and learn! 🙂
