#142 | Space, Black Holes & The Big Bang

00:00:00:10 – 00:00:21:02
So what? You've got a problem. If you still are being sent home with period paint. No, I haven't got a problem with it. I'm just saying that she's home and it impacts on me recording at home because I can't say the disgusting things, you. No no no no no, we would do it. We wouldn't. We were doing fine cook the other day.

00:00:21:02 – 00:00:42:21
And I was talking about like literally as I was talking about my wanking activity. Yeah. And I heard the front door go and my children walk through the door and I thought, I have to carry on with this story like I, you know, they're there and I know there is, there is a kitchen door and them and then behind that kitchen door is their father talking about wanking.

00:00:43:01 – 00:01:04:13
Well, you're doing it again. She's right there. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, she's upstairs now and my Mrs. is in as well today. Wow. Yeah I know fucking girls day off is it. Yeah. What are they doing anyway. You know about the gaff. Yeah. Fucking come on, man. Fair enough. Yeah. Fair enough. I mean just floating about I am was going to say.

00:01:04:13 – 00:01:29:03
Oh, I guess so, I guess. What can I say. Yeah. As in physically or. No, because I'm, you know, a sphere in that community. Yeah. Because in America, if you're Puerto Rican, you can say it. Can you pull it like Fat Joe? You said a big part, right? Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they say that. Yeah. Yeah, I think so, yeah.

00:01:29:03 – 00:01:56:10
Oh, and there's this, you know, lucky in, like, in films when there's, like a Puerto Rican gang. They say it, right. Okay. I don't know if they. There is a really kind of famous viral video clip of, maybe Mexican. I think he is Mexican. Mexican? Yeah, yeah, a Mexican. And and he was saying that, they said the N-word, and then a black guy walked past and he kind of turned around and seemed to say like, well, what are you saying?

00:01:56:12 – 00:02:10:06
And he's like, we can say like we're we're part of the same thing. And he is like, what's up, man? And then they're like, there was a big love for it. And I was like, okay, right, I know, yeah, like, I know some rules are. But I know one of my oh no, it's I don't think this is okay.

00:02:10:06 – 00:02:15:10
Right. But I've just noticed. Well I've, I've noticed this online.

00:02:15:12 – 00:02:39:24
There's white people saying it now. Oh dear. But not with the heart. In the correct tone. Right. Yeah. I feel like you're walking a tightrope, but yeah, yeah, yeah. There is some cultures if you grow up in a certain area, regardless of your skin color, you can kind of say it if you're like from, you know, same culturally you grew up in that era.

00:02:40:01 – 00:03:07:03
Yeah. And then there was another one where the guy wasn't clearly culturally, you know, in any way the same. Yeah. But because of the way he said it, the kind in the comments, the black people kind, he kind of nailed it. Yeah. So we give him a pass this time. That one of my favorite like clips on Instagram is there is a white teacher tache.

00:03:07:09 – 00:03:29:17
He looks like he's from the 70s, but he's being recorded for the local news channel in America. He got fired or suspended the web because he used the N-word, but he said it's, I dga not, you know, your, And he was not using it as a term of like, what's up? Like, in that kind of part of that community?

00:03:29:18 – 00:03:52:00
Why though? Yeah. But because he says he uses it freely with his mates. It's, it's a, it's a term of endearment. But. Yeah. Yeah. It's so. You bet it is. Quite free to use if you're a writer. What are you doing? Like, you know, you can't be doing that. But he's so animated and so passionate about the word that he's caught.

00:03:52:00 – 00:04:13:06
He can't believe that he's been done and tripped over by the system because, you know, he was just. It's just a word. And I was like, bro, like, you can't. You can't. It's three words. Words. And the N-word will never, ever say that. Even in music. Even if I'm driving on my own. Ricky, we have. No, no, no, Ricky.

00:04:13:06 – 00:04:35:12
What? You said you on your own. Everyone does it in your on your own. Hey. No. Hey. What are you. So you're saying you're listening to DMX and the N-word is used? I don't know, 5 to 5 times every 10s. You you you stop. You you don't say the N-word. No, no. In the car alone, with no one can hear.

00:04:35:14 – 00:04:46:16
No. And just napping alone? No, not at all. Never, never leaves my body. Never I know me.

00:04:46:18 – 00:05:10:04
So there's that. There's the, the other there's the p word, like. Look, that one. Just to clarify here, I would never rap the N-word if anyone could hear me, okay. Right. When you. But when you're in your office on your own, I think it's okay that because no one can hear. Right? Okay. Or in the car. Interesting.

00:05:10:06 – 00:05:32:01
Like, if I'm with the kids and I'm rapping along, I don't. I'll definitely not use it then. Right. Interesting. Would you put a new word in? Nuh. Just. No, I wouldn't wrap it up in front of the kids anyway. I just wouldn't do it. I don't know, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I shouldn't do that. I don't know, but.

00:05:32:01 – 00:05:52:20
Well, I just feel like it. I don't think anyone's gonna know that you're racist. Now. I don't think that that's. That's the case. No. Yeah, I don't know. Like it. Okay. If you were in a karaoke bar and you decided to do Dre cause not know, Mr. Lyrics, it's on the screen. It's telling you what the instructions.

00:05:52:20 – 00:06:14:19
No, no, I know that I'm the son is. People saying this is part of the song. Is the art form in its fullest? I just think you're asking for trouble if you did it. Yeah. Whereas, whereas. So I just wouldn't do it. Right. I don't think someone who raps along to a song and uses the N-word as a part of the song, even if they're all racist, that doesn't make them racist.

00:06:14:21 – 00:06:39:17
I'm just like, yeah, save yourself the bother a bit. Yeah, just by not saying it. If you're going out, you know, I'm going to say this. It's my writing a song. I could say, yeah, yeah, yeah, like, why are you protesting that? That's not a deep. Just don't say it, right. Yeah, yeah. But I think if you're on your own in a car and you're wrapping around DMX or biggie, I think you're fine, right?

00:06:39:17 – 00:07:03:19
Okay. What about driving with your wife? No, you and you. Just you and you. All right, it's a Saturday. It's sunny. You're on your way to, a gig or to do something wonderful. You're enjoying each other's company. When you get to the other side, you're going to book into a hotel. You are free. The wind is, you know, you got your window down, the wind is blowing for your hair.

00:07:03:21 – 00:07:22:13
And then, Eminem song comes on and you I know, you know most of the words, the most Eminem insults. No in words in Eminem songs. I would say not what you think. He's rapping in words. I don't know how you, just assume he might cause. No, no, no, no. Should we say all right, Dre, then. Yeah.

00:07:22:13 – 00:07:46:09
All right. Somebody got it. Yeah, he got all the time. Yeah, I think, yeah, I'm sure you should. Should. Should the N-word be used? Should there be any existence of any of the N-word on Eminem's album? If it comes from a black rapper, is it okay because it's it's on his album. It's he's. Yeah, yeah. I mean, there is loads of that just saying that he doesn't say it.

00:07:46:10 – 00:08:07:03
Right. Okay. Right. Right. That's that's what he does. Yeah. I mean, I can't remember what song it was now, but, yeah, there this a dry song that I really like big. So you didn't know? I didn't know that. Like that. Submarine in the car with the Mrs. Drake. Oh, sorry. Yeah, yeah. And then Drake,

00:08:07:05 – 00:08:30:05
And you feeling young, free, horny, everything. You know, just everything's going. Going well, you're on your way to a gig. Would you then maybe drop the N-word because, you know, it's just you in your life? I mean, I wouldn't be worried if I did it in front of me because she knows I'm racist. And she knows that you use it quite often when you drive as well.

00:08:30:07 – 00:08:43:03
I think someone like, like, you know what the, If you even say yes, I'm not racist, but I flare ups in traffic. Okay.

00:08:43:05 – 00:08:50:22
Use it if you want to get the N-word out. Yes, to write it down.

00:08:50:24 – 00:09:17:04
Yeah. Deary me. FFA. Yeah. How the hell did we even get on to this? But I just want to say, if you're right, because, you know, racism, it's argued, is about oppression. So there is this school of thought which I don't agree with, but there is out there that it's impossible for black people to be racist to white people because white people are not oppressed.

00:09:17:06 – 00:09:41:03
Right? Okay. Yeah, I've heard this as well. I think I've heard this from you. Well, you know about punching up and punching down. Yeah, I like that. I think that's that. That's what's out there. And you don't you don't believe that everyone should be able to punch each other? I don't think everyone should be racist to anybody, but I don't think I don't think only racism can only come from white people.

00:09:41:05 – 00:10:06:00
I mean that you see, a lot of them see lots of different arguments. It is very kind of like, you know, if, like if a person is racist to a black person, that's racist. Yeah. You are, you are, you are pointing something out or attacking someone, insulting someone or preventing them from an opportunity because of what they look like, the color of their skin.

00:10:06:02 – 00:10:30:23
But I see there is a school of thought that only people on earth that can be racist to white people, right? Okay, that just for me, just doesn't quite land. It doesn't sit right. But but, I feel like if you're the ethnic minority. So, like you were saying in your example, a Chinese guy and a black guy, and they're being racist to each of they're kind of like the ethnic minorities.

00:10:30:23 – 00:11:00:22
They're the minority. So they can say it against each other. And it's not racist because they perceive to be. Yeah, no, that's why they're perceived to be on that, that there's no same social level there because there's no oppression. Right? So if you're primarily in the country, if you're Iranian, like, you know, first generation Indian people, yeah, can be quite racist towards new immigrants I've seen.

00:11:00:22 – 00:11:24:00
Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. You know, I mean 100% they're like yeah, yeah yeah whatever. Right. And so yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. But it isn't racism because they're, they're Indian I think. No but yeah yeah yeah. Riddle me this Rick okay. Okay. To move to China. That was I was going to bring up this example.

00:11:24:00 – 00:11:44:10
If you were in India and they were cutting you off, they can be racist on the white level. Yeah. But you're in the minority that I don't think so. That would be racist to you, wouldn't it? Yeah. I'm the white devil. You're the minority. There would be the white devil. Yeah. These backpackers I saw on Instagram Reels and they went to India.

00:11:44:12 – 00:12:07:24
It wasn't in a major city. There was somewhere they arrived, I think it was India. And they got there and they said only Indian people are allowed to stay here. And these were just I they from Barnsley backpackers from Barnsley. Right. Okay. Yeah. If they weren't allowed to stay there because they were white. That's right. Yeah. But if it happened in England it's not.

00:12:08:01 – 00:12:27:18
That ain't racist. Yeah I think I saw something similar maybe I think we some lads went to go and eat at a restaurant. Yeah. In Sri Lanka. Yeah. And it said because you're not local Sri Lankans you can't eat. Do you know, also in I saw a clip of a bloke who was in I think it was Pakistan.

00:12:27:20 – 00:12:51:02
Yeah. And they wouldn't, he couldn't pay for anything, but they were just treating him as a guest to the country. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I've seen this before. Yeah, yeah. Have this food and then the vendor wouldn't charge him. And then this bloke were left around on a moped and he was paying for everything. He said, last thing you don't pay kind of thing.

00:12:51:07 – 00:13:16:15
It was incredible. I mean, that is. Yeah, I've seen the same thing in, Afghanistan right now. Where was on. Yeah. I seen a bloke who gets on an old moped like those 50 cc mopeds. Yeah. I think we could see 90s. And how it was a, it was a YouTube series about 15 years ago and it's called C9 e adventures.

00:13:16:17 – 00:13:32:20
And he gets so. Well, I don't know. I think we probably are definitely. Yeah. I really like it. On see if it's still on the issue, but, so and he just gets on one of these, you know, you know that for people that live in London, there used to be this thing called the knowledge.

00:13:32:22 – 00:13:54:10
And the knowledge was something that the taxi drivers would have to do. So they still do it. They didn't. They know they tube is stupid. It's kind of like it's a rite of passage now rather than it be like you just. Right. Okay. Black cab drivers. Yeah, we like the black like traditional black cab drivers won't agree with this, but wise tells you where the traffic is.

00:13:54:10 – 00:14:18:21
You can't do that regardless of, you know, the streets of London. So yeah, just get wise. Save yourself four years of driving around the streets on a moped. Yeah, it's C9. It was what they used to do it on because it does shitloads of, miles per gallon. And resilient. Anyway. Yeah. So this bloke used to drive the C 90s.

00:14:18:23 – 00:14:43:17
Anyway, it's used to go to all the places you're not supposed to go, like Iraq and Iran. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. What you find there is just, lovely people, typically hospital people that just want, Yeah, hospital, hospital, bed, hospital. But what they, just wanted, you know, show you their country, their culture.

00:14:43:19 – 00:15:04:07
Be welcoming the food, cuisine, all of that stuff. They still around the last film we did a year ago, and it was a 1.4 million views. Oh, wow. Okay, it's worth looking at. Anyway, I'd love to do that. Yeah, I I'm not sure how that, how the podcast started and they say, but I'm glad it's I'm glad we had this discussion.

00:15:04:09 – 00:15:17:02
Yeah. You need to know about this thing sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, we all do. We all do. Let's do it.

00:15:17:04 – 00:15:42:22
Them night hazy like Band of Brothers playing tunes high as quite midnight. Waves surfing through till daylight breaks rhythm. Here's different ways. Love of music. So I, we prayed with our tongues in cheek band as I we like to speak and yeah, times change. But no matter what the bond remains. Promise.

00:15:42:24 – 00:16:04:19
Hello and welcome to lads. Anonymous is episode 142. I'm Ricky, he's flab two best mates. One main topic we answer your life dilemmas and confessions in our feature. Something only you know. And everything remains anonymous. Always. So sit back, relax and enjoy the pod. How's it going? I didn't even ask you. How are you? You're right. Yeah.

00:16:04:19 – 00:16:30:12
All right, get in. Yeah. I love receiving news. Bad news that you can't do anything about us. That's my favorite. So you like receiving bad news that you can't do anything about? Yeah, yeah, but, what about news? Have you received bills? I just dropped my, What was that, a sachet into my mug of coffee. Is it is it blows to blow.

00:16:30:13 – 00:16:52:22
It is a sachet open. Okay. You could see that that in the moment is is stoicism, right? My. Something bad happened. I dropped it in there, but at least the tomato ketchup wasn't open. So there's the positive, right? Rock. Oh, my God, a fucking drop. Such a in the coffee. I thought my taste died so badly. I got a letter from the taxman.

00:16:52:22 – 00:17:03:02
Oh, now you can let that. Oh, really? Bring your machine. Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. Or you can just go.

00:17:03:04 – 00:17:28:00
What's the much I can do about this? Well, yeah, I did. I used to beat up that. I didn't really used to let the small stuff consume me and be very light shouty about it, until my mum said something to me about it quite a few years ago. Now. And I at first, you know, very fronted by it like not have days I but I disagree with that.

00:17:28:01 – 00:17:51:02
Like that's not true. I'm not negative I'm not like get frustrated and throw my toys out the pram and all of that stuff. And she said you do. And then I kind of had a good few years of internalizing, looking at myself and trying to take one small step up the ladder to be a bit more positive when something negative come my way and then destroy, try and work on myself.

00:17:51:02 – 00:18:18:01
And I feel like I am a lot better at dealing with stuff like that now and not as, you know, it's not enough to handle. Well, what were you going to say? We're going to fucking agree. My mum. Yeah. Fucking slag. But no, I think I think in the, in the past you would have you take exception and react badly to things you can't control.

00:18:18:02 – 00:18:39:19
Yeah. That's fair. And you did a lot of work and making it, so. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Do you know what we're talking about today? Pass. Yeah. Boy. Spice. Yeah. What is it? Why is it that mate who put it, who put it? It sell me. Tell me you put it there. We don't know that one.

00:18:39:22 – 00:18:59:06
So. So today I have like I found it quite not hard right in the run up. Because normally if we were going to talk about something, I'd be like, right, okay, we'll start off with this flag when you were five, like, you can't start off with when you were young flag. What do you think of spice? No one knows anything about spice.

00:18:59:08 – 00:19:25:16
And I think this was my point about putting this podcast together for it. So I have I do have a lot of, facts and stuff like that. But when I was reading it all, I got myself into a bit of, pickle into a bit of it. Yeah, a bit of a pickle. Been a bit non. Because I'm not sure I believe any of this stuff because I, I know I can't go into it now.

00:19:25:20 – 00:19:53:24
I'll do it like further. But it is just like I can't, I can't get my head around space and the facts and figures and everything that we are being told, because how does anyone know? Like, oh, I, I will read out in full, but there is a part of what we as humans understand about the Big Bang, right?

00:19:54:01 – 00:20:14:06
The one second after the Big Bang, we pretty much know everything that that preceded it. We kind of have a guesstimate, but the one second before it, no one knows. Yeah, no one knows. Yeah, well. And there is no the big bang. Create life. Okay. We created the thing that made the big Bang. What is the big bang?

00:20:14:08 – 00:20:32:07
That's I mean, it's just. What is it really? Well, we we're about to find out. Tell me right now. I want to know what the big bang is. Well, I mean, the big bang. No. Let me. I want to get from the beginning. Right. We'll get from the beginning. And by the way. Right, I, I understand, obviously, putting this podcast out into the,

00:20:32:09 – 00:21:02:22
I have no idea who fucking listens. Right. I'll just assume it's, a collection of people, and it always surprises me. The emails that we get now, we've done help requests, and there is a resident doctor that listens to the resident couple of doctors that listen to this podcast, which is crazy. But there have been two gentlemen that, you know, I don't know what they study space, basically.

00:21:02:22 – 00:21:22:12
And they have put into that listen to this pod. You wait until you hear their their emails on. I read them out because it is just like I again, I just don't know about anything. But let's start on a on a lightfoot. Right? I want to start on something a bit like with space. Are you even interested in space, like flat films?

00:21:22:14 – 00:21:50:03
Yeah. Aliens. Yeah, like that kind of sci fi title. Total Recall, that kind of. Yeah. So I like, so recall what like space is like is June part of that stuff? Okay. So yeah. Sci fi. Yeah. Yeah sort of. It's planets and space and all that shit. Yeah, I like that. Those films. Yes. Yeah. I mean, oh, I don't even know if I'm like because I just.

00:21:50:05 – 00:22:12:23
Because it feels so far fetched that I don't know if it's real or not. Does that, you know, you know, I mean like the what's real. Like I don't know, my mind can't project that far. You know, we're all living in, living on Mars. I don't know, I thought the was the one with the free to ease.

00:22:13:03 – 00:22:28:16
Yeah, yeah, I don't think. Yeah, I like that bit. I like that, that frame. Right. Yeah. Well, that's not possible, is it? It's just why it's. But when you listen to the some of the shit that I'm going to read out when I'm waiting, you ask me, teach me about Total Recall and you've got this amazing stuff to read them.

00:22:28:18 – 00:22:53:15
That's right. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Right. So this one okay. This is a lot of it is like, Instagram DMs, but we just take it for a face, right? Yeah. Earth is in its own solar system, basically. Or, basically orbiting around a star. And the solar system is in our own galaxy, the Milky Way.

00:22:53:17 – 00:23:18:12
I think we both know that. That's fine. Yeah. The fastest speed that anything can travel is light. And if we were to travel at the speed of light to the edge of the galaxy, it would take about 55,000 years to the edge of the galaxy. Edge of the galaxy, 55,000 years. And that is light speed, right? This is part of what I can't really grasp.

00:23:18:12 – 00:23:42:20
Like, how does anyone know that the edge of the galaxy is approximately 55,000 light years away? Who? Who made that? What? I don't know where he goes. So there's going to be a lot of I don't know, he's on this. No, no, That's fine. What goes past the edge of the galaxy? Well, I don't know.

00:23:42:22 – 00:24:09:07
I don't think anyone knows that there's a lot of. Right. So, there's a lot of that. The that space is continually expanding, expanding into within it what we don't know. And see, this is the thing right. When people are on the I am no this isn't ten. Kind of like the earth is flat for me. Nothing. It's not that stuff.

00:24:09:07 – 00:24:43:21
Right? But what I can't grasp is how that we can have these calculations and be so, in our convictions to say the edge of the galaxy or whatever is 55,000 light years away. Right? But it's getting farther away all the time. Yeah, yeah, everything is moving, I think, all of the time. But that part of it, I understand because they can look at the galaxy with telescopes and they can measure.

00:24:43:23 – 00:25:05:18
So like Pluto for example. I mean whatever, like a galaxy hundreds of miles or not, Pluto is probably not a I don't know if they can measure Pluto moving away from us, but they can they can track it from one point to another so they can see it's happening. And they think that the reason why that's happening is because the universe is expanding and dragging.

00:25:05:20 – 00:25:31:08
I think. Yeah, yeah, I think he's right. Go. Yeah. Go on, go on, go to the big bang. There was no bang. It wasn't two things colliding. I thought it was two things collide into big rocks colliding. And that's what I thought it was. It's not. What is it? I don't know, it's just saying that, I've got two comets hitting each other or something.

00:25:31:09 – 00:25:58:00
Then not. I ain't no, nuh None of that. Oh my God. Fuck. Yeah. Sorry. I just like. And that's, And then, as an add on to that, but we can't, sorry to, it would take 55 years and light years, but we can't because we physically can't go fast enough. So if we were to travel in a spaceship, it would take 55 million years to reach the edge.

00:25:58:00 – 00:26:22:05
That's if we're not going light years outside of our Milky Way. In our observable universe, there are an estimated 2 trillion galaxies. So our galaxy is, you know, as I understand it, the sun and the planets and everything that we we know that we're all of the school, that's our galaxy, that's the Milky Way. So there's an estimated 2 trillion galaxies.

00:26:22:07 – 00:26:35:09
Like, how does anyone know that? I just this is what I can't understand you. You tell me about this, telescope. Right. And I know, I know, this is just you example.

00:26:35:11 – 00:26:55:16
And you and you, you like. And this isn't a telescope that I got for my 12th birthday. And I set it up on the tripod, looked in the sky, and everything was blurry. And I never used it again. You know, these are proper scientific Hubble telescope, all that like. Yeah, but how how do they know? Like how many?

00:26:55:18 – 00:27:15:00
How do you know how many galaxies are? Yeah. There's an estimated 2 trillion. How did they get to the first trillion? I think they just they'll just have sort of equations that they apply to or something. I don't know what the more it's the scariest point isn't that they can see the space and they can make assumptions about it.

00:27:15:02 – 00:27:49:07
Why does it exist? Why are we in on a planet in the middle of it all? And the and the answer, the only conceivably sensible answer to that is, yeah. It's just a fluke. Like our entire existence was just a mistake that happened. Or not a mistake. Just a series of events that led to us being conscious of ourselves, and then to have an existential crisis and break them about, why?

00:27:49:07 – 00:28:10:20
So who the fuck put it there? Okay. Right. Why is it space up there? Why does it look like that? Why are the stars up there? Why is a great big stars if you burn out or you would die instantly? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is true. Why? I don't know. And obviously that's why everyone has the idea. What is God?

00:28:10:23 – 00:28:44:15
God must have created it. Someone must have created it. Exactly. You can't disprove that someone at some point created something you can't quite. Science can't disprove that because they don't know what happened before the Big Bang. No, nobody does. And this is my point. No, it's not my point. But this is one of my kind of things that I feel when I think about space is that if, like you've just said, about the, the Big Bang and everything is and no one knows, right?

00:28:44:16 – 00:29:14:18
Everyone's got this kind of guesstimate what they think happened and what you were saying as well about, it's a series of things, events that had happened over time. And then this is what has come out of it, right? We've got 2 trillion galaxies. Apparently, there must be another one. And there has to be. Yeah, there has to be a planet like ours, but with aliens.

00:29:14:20 – 00:29:17:08

00:29:17:10 – 00:29:27:24
There must be, surely. I just don't like what? Yeah, you would think that you would want. There must be ones.

00:29:28:01 – 00:29:52:22
There must be one. There must be situations that are almost complete to us. But you have a sun and moon and water and nitrogen and oxygen and oxygen and all the things. Yes. Somewhere on in that massive space. Yeah. They said like I just saw some ChatGPT and he said, that's what I was going to ask you today.

00:29:52:24 – 00:30:16:09
Get the the lady up for questions on ChatGPT. Okay. Because I've got some good stuff that we need to, we need to discuss. Okay. But the short answer is, we don't know for sure, but the odds are probably pretty high that there is life out there. Pretty high, which is mental. Yeah. There are other oceans that you can be seen.

00:30:16:11 – 00:30:48:22
1% of our galaxy. You know, our galaxy, the Milky Way, has 100 to 400 billion stars. There are hundreds of billions of galaxies. Did you say 50,000? Here outside the Milky Way, in. In our observable universe, there are an estimated 2 trillion galaxies. All right. Yeah. So this means there's trillions and trillions. The other nightmare. Anyway, yeah, I reckon there are aliens out there, gobby.

00:30:48:24 – 00:31:12:04
Yeah. Like, do you think do you think we. Actually. We've been to space. We've been in space. The. Do I believe that we land on the moon now that we've been into space? We've been into space. Yeah, right. Okay. That's the I believe that's it. I'm with you, brother. Yeah, right. Do you believe that we have landed on the moon?

00:31:12:04 – 00:31:49:21
Yes. The your. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't care whether we have or haven't but but but probably yeah I can why I just because there's a question. Because I don't have all these, I don't have a running tally on me of all the things that, supposedly of why we didn't, you know, I as a kid growing up there was the reflection in the, astronauts helmet that it was supposed to reflect something all about the flag.

00:31:49:23 – 00:32:17:11
It was blowing or something like that. And there's no, in space. There's loads of different things that that exist. But what I find troubling and what you hear about is that we flew up in the 60s, apparently, right, and landed on the moon. And the reason why we're not we haven't gone back to the moon is one I've heard is that we lost the technology that we.

00:32:17:13 – 00:32:39:18
Say is is too expensive. Why do we need to go up there again? We've been there, done that. That makes most sense, doesn't it? Not that we may if might if you can get to the moon in the 60s and now we're in 2026, we would fucking go up to the moon we like. Well, what do you mean why you can't just go somewhere once and be like, yeah, yeah, we went there.

00:32:39:18 – 00:33:02:18
That's it. Done. There were, well, we've only been there once. It doesn't mean anybody else is gone there. I don't think so. I just think there's more important stuff to spend your money on than putting people on a place that is completely on the on the, on habitable, habitable. But, Elon is trying to get us to Mars, right?

00:33:02:18 – 00:33:22:02
He's got a fucking right lobe on for Mars. Hey, I did I think even Elon sent one of his fucking Tesla cars into space. One of his college is just. Oh, but in the Earth. Like he said, he's got loads of satellites up there. He's sending shit all the time. And we're saying that we've lost the technology.

00:33:22:04 – 00:33:48:02
We're saying that's too expensive. May we? We should. If we did it in the 60s, I, I'm, we're sending rockets. Oh, would you want to go? Oh, I'm so obviously that's the only way we're getting back. You're on the. You're on it. Right to the moon. Yeah, right to the moon. No. Right. But if if we had, why not?

00:33:48:04 – 00:34:09:02
Mate, I ain't going to the moon. There's no fucking chance. Absolutely no chance. Imagine you got stuck on the moon, man. I don't want to do it. I wouldn't want to do it. Yeah. How much do I say? 15 billion pounds. And also you've got to go up there. I'm not spending 15 billion pounds. I'm going. I'm not doing anything.

00:34:09:04 – 00:34:36:06
No. I wouldn't even want to get on a spaceship, like that. Okay. That's right. By the. That was my next question. So the, Virgin Galactica, Galactica. Galactica. No, I but I want to do that. And Jeff Bezos is. Do I want to get in a submarine and go down the Mariana Trench? No, no, no. So why would I want to go on a spaceship and leave Earth?

00:34:36:08 – 00:35:02:16
That's a good question. That's a good question. I mean, apparently, that you you go so high up that it's not like you leave it, but. Yeah. Yeah, that is true. Yeah. We we've got a problem with that. May not get him. Yeah I couldn't, I couldn't do it man. There is no fucking chance I would do that. Absolutely none are going to come in with the next the next fact.

00:35:02:16 – 00:35:21:24
Right. So someone's written in. So in a word, it's fucking massive. This is a classic one, but I love it when we see the light from stars in the sky. It's light that was emitted thousands of years in the past. And it's taken that time to get to us. And your eyes, you're literally looking into the past.

00:35:22:03 – 00:35:45:21
And in some cases, the stars that you're looking at don't exist anymore. But the light it, once emitted, is still arriving at your eyes. And in all that time, Spurs still won't have one at home. Yeah. Good. I like that. Right. So because it died ages ago, because it takes so long to get to us, we're still seeing the light.

00:35:45:23 – 00:36:10:20
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So behind the light sort of. It sent the light out and then burnt out and then. So somewhere between what star used to be what happened to burn out Star Thompson? I thought Black Star was it from a till I know it's a think. It becomes like a white dwarf. No, I can't remember what it is.

00:36:10:20 – 00:36:41:21
It's some. There's a name for that. That's it. That sounds. I like that gun. Oh, look. What what is the name of a star? A bunch of may imagine. It's called white dwarf star. Gone, gone, gone. I'm rooting for you. One dwarf. Yeah! Come on, let's go now. Star. Typically the sun like star that has exhausted its nuclear floor fuel is called a white dwarf.

00:36:42:02 – 00:37:07:02
They are incredibly dense, hot stellar cores about the size of Earth, which gradually cool over billions of years from massive stars. The remnant can be a neutron star or a black hole, wherever that means. Yeah. So? So from this white dwarf, there is a gap now where the star used to be in the sun and the light disappearing.

00:37:07:04 – 00:37:32:23
Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So I can, I don't know, again, I don't understand how this is this this is my main problem, right? We. But how do we know this? But how do we know any of this is real? These people ought to. But the thing is, I don't know that we thought the world was flat that way once.

00:37:33:00 – 00:37:55:18
Yeah. Once. Right. Yeah, but that's what we were told. The world is flat. And then it turns out I am okay. We've been told many things, and it turns out they ain't the facts. What what what I don't understand. Yeah. Like, it's like some something like flat earth or not landing on the moon. Science can disprove the conspiracy theories for people like.

00:37:55:18 – 00:38:11:17
Yeah, well, I don't believe that science. So what are we doing here? Who's told? Stop talking to me, then. If you can't see. What you doing with this? Yeah, yeah, well, don't talk about that. I'm not having this conversation anymore. Here's the evidence. You don't agree with it, all right? But that's the end of the conversation. That's okay.

00:38:11:19 – 00:38:33:16
And I always say this one, right. Like, all right, they fight the moon landing. Yeah. Okay. Well, now what do you mean to do? The flat. The Earth flat. Is it okay? You're right. You believe it's right? I believe it's round. Now, what do we do? Why, yeah I don't. Yeah, that is interesting. That sounds like Brian Cox.

00:38:33:16 – 00:38:50:05
If he's talking, he sounds like, you know. Yeah, I'll believe him. But yeah I mean like Brian Cox, they like you said. You said you believe he was in the band before he was this renowned song. And I'm not saying you can't be in a band and be a scientist, but where was the science set before the band?

00:38:50:05 – 00:39:20:10
Yeah, true. Like when he and the sign dork, things can only get better. Can can actually get better. You should be allowed to be careers. Know that. Yeah. You're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is really selfish. But when he speaks, I'm like, yeah, it sounds like he knows what it's all about. I believe him. Yeah. So okay okay I don't, I, I don't know if what you're saying is true.

00:39:20:10 – 00:39:41:00
He could be saying anything about what my base knowledge of these things is so small that you just have to trust him. Yeah, sure. Right, I actually do. I do have a clip of, coxae. Oh, yeah. So, if you play that and just listen to that.

00:39:41:02 – 00:40:03:00
Or a human fell into a black hole. It depends on the mass of the black hole, is the technical answer. So if it's a small black hole, by which I mean just, you know, a few times the mass of our sun, then you get ripped apart by the tidal gravitational forces before you actually fell in. So as you approach the event horizon of the black hole, it comes a very nasty but for the very big black holes.

00:40:03:00 – 00:40:22:10
So like the the one we have a photograph of, we've got two photographs actually one of the, one of the one in the center of the Milky Way and one in the center of a galaxy called Mighty Seven, which is a very big one, is something like 6 billion times the mass of the sun. So supermassive black hole in matter seven is 55 million light years away.

00:40:22:10 – 00:40:48:03
That one cannot be felt towards that one. Then as far as we know, you would fall across the horizon into the interior of the black hole and you'd be unaffected. You wouldn't notice as you fell across the horizon, and then you'd have something like, I can't remember the exact number, but it's something like 30 hours ish inside the black hole until you approach the singularity, which is in your future when you cross the horizon.

00:40:48:08 – 00:41:07:09
So. So it's not something you can avoid. It's like trying to avoid tomorrow. You can't do that. So you go to the singularity, which is, in Einstein's theory, the end of time. And just before you get there, you get spaghetti either, which means you get stretched in one direction, is squashed in the other, and even your atoms get ripped apart, and then you go to the end of time.

00:41:07:11 – 00:41:14:23
So that's not nice. What would happen if Earth or human.

00:41:15:00 – 00:41:38:07
Well, so. Well both answers. You get a blister. Yeah. Thing is right. I listen to that. And I was like, okay. And he was like, well, it depends because we don't know, like the gravitational pull, the weight of it or whatever it was. And. Okay. And then he's like, oh, then you get to the edge and then you get to event horizon, and then time slows down and then you'll be shredded this way.

00:41:38:07 – 00:41:55:17
And Paul, how the fuck does anyone know any of this? Because we haven't thrown we have a have we tested something if we know like, you know, like someone says, oh like he put throw deodorant cannon to fire, right? And after five minutes it heats up and it explodes. Do you know how I know that? Because I fucking done it.

00:41:55:23 – 00:42:17:12
You know, how many things have we fell into a black cow? You know, you, if you put your hand in the blender, is going to get mixed up in that because. Yeah. Yeah. Motion. Yeah. And a physical material is being pushed fast in one, one way. Yeah. And my material, my hand is less dense and softer. So that's my science.

00:42:17:17 – 00:42:39:08
That's what I like. I do like that. Okay. Like I just they, they just I call them the, the pressures are there if, if measured them, if they've somehow, again, like I, you just accept it. It sounds like he's telling the truth. So don't tell me. Sound like. Oh, basically a supermassive. Yeah, I always find it funny.

00:42:39:08 – 00:43:04:03
They use sort of normal adjectives, like supermassive for something. It's really it's not some more technical term for. Yeah. They just call it. Yeah. It's a supermassive black hole. We do have one of the emails I'm going to read out. Let me just see if it's, I can't scan it quick enough to see if this is the or.

00:43:04:05 – 00:43:11:16
Let me try this one here to say if it's the right. Let's go with this. Right.

00:43:11:18 – 00:43:34:17
Hello. That's I have a master's degree in physics, and I'm halfway through a Ph.D. in quantum physics. Not especially space related. My work is all particle physics. I started my degree doing astrophysics and very quickly bowed when I realized it meant standing outside at 11 p.m. in winter in York, fiddling with some dials to get a telescope to point at a star.

00:43:34:22 – 00:44:07:18
It wasn't for me. What I did find fascinating, however, was cosmology, the study of the origin and development of the universe. The most interesting thing to me was that of all matter in the observable universe, I've noticed that there's been a couple of observable universe that terminology we only know roughly 5% of it. This is just the ordinary matter that makes up stars, planets, and Johann Langer's fat head.

00:44:07:20 – 00:44:36:13
27% is dark matter, which is just some sort of matter we can infer the existence of from certain measurements, but does not interact with light, so we cannot see it. And the other and the other 68% is what we call dark energy. This is what we blame for the expansion of the universe. Brackets, or more accurately, the increase in the rate of expansion.

00:44:36:15 – 00:45:02:01
And we literally no fuck all about it. If you hadn't guessed, if we don't understand something, we just stick dark on the front of it and move on with our lives. One particular strange thing is that we pretty much understand everything that happened roughly one second after the Big Bang, but our understanding of what happened in that first second is very, very weak.

00:45:02:05 – 00:45:32:10
It is pretty well accepted that the Big Bang did happen, although there are some radicals who propose other theories, and we know that the universe will either end with a big freeze, Big Rip, Big Crunch, or Big Bounce. It's worth looking into what each of these terms mean. Interestingly, the area of science with the highest proportion of religious people is astrophysics, essentially because we have no idea how the Big Bang happened.

00:45:32:16 – 00:45:51:22
So why not say God did it? Yeah, of course we all know God doesn't exist, or else we never would have lost daddy. And big fan of all the pods. Keep up the good work. This is it is. That was fascinating, by the way. You fucking it is insane. And it is so good. Is getting on the pod.

00:45:51:24 – 00:46:08:12
Yes. You can say that. That's right, I know, I didn't I know, I know, I didn't think, I didn't think, all right, so what's happened to the nine over 11 episode that doesn't come out yet? I know he is. Have you made any plans to record? How about today? What is happening winds up recording happening tomorrow.

00:46:08:16 – 00:46:25:09
It's not happening tomorrow. You just making common misconceptions. It was a massive explosion in empty space. There is no outside space yet. So there wasn't any space before the Big Bang.

00:46:25:11 – 00:46:43:18
So what was it? It's a world. Yeah, well, yeah, that is weird. I thought there was space. It it's not an it is it. So it so it happened at one point in space. It didn't. It happened everywhere at once. I don't know what that means.

00:46:43:20 – 00:47:01:24
I thought it was sea rocks hit each other. Of course. Loads of energy. I thought the space is already there. Right. And then two rocks at each other. Yeah, one was a bit damp, one was a bit hot, and then the the wet in the heat made some kind of organism that was turned into it was not living on Earth, lost in space.

00:47:02:01 – 00:47:22:14
And there was a collision. This is what to look for. Well, it's just black everywhere. I went. I just got to this to each other. I thought it might be there, but not what there was. And then the collision of this massive collision caused such energy that the the universe started. That's kind of a thought that you can tell.

00:47:22:14 – 00:47:42:21
I've really kind of spent time looking into this. But what I mean, no one ever really does do that. I have no idea. But I'm sure I've seen sort of artistic impressions of the Big Bang. And these two rocks hit these. Yeah. It is. Yeah. And then there's like a beam of light that kind of comes around that looks like a vagina.

00:47:43:02 – 00:48:10:20
Or is it just, are we just thinking about asteroids colliding? And we and our brains are. It's like that cross, that thing called the Meccano effect or something that Carol bond. But there's a name for something where you remember stuff that is true. That never happened. Mandela is it the Mandela Effect? I think so. So there would be bits in, like things that you thought you heard in TV programs and you as a kid, you never did.

00:48:10:20 – 00:48:33:11
Yeah, but you never. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The reality is someone's just edited it. Yes. You did, you did hear it and it was there. But someone's face on Instagram Reels is really it. It's, I thought. Yeah, I thought the Mandela effect was that we believed in something, and it kind of becomes common knowledge that something did happen, but it actually didn't happen.

00:48:33:13 – 00:49:01:17
Fake knows anyway, right? We got another email as well from another fucking bright spark that listens to this. Hello, lads. There are people from more qualified and their mates talk about this and maybe some have already emailed in about this, but just in case they haven't, I thought I'd answer some of your questions. For context, I have a master's degree in physics and I work in medical physics, so I am by no means Stephen Hawkins, but I do have some credentials.

00:49:01:17 – 00:49:36:13
At least we don't actually know if space is infinite or not, but the part we can see is so unimaginably, unimaginably huge that for us, it may as well be. When we say the universe is expanding, we don't mean that new bits of space are being added to the edges. Instead, the fabric of space itself is stretching. This is one of the key pieces of evidence for the Big Bang, alongside other observations such as cosmic microwave background radiation.

00:49:36:15 – 00:50:08:02
You lost me there. May we observe that almost all galaxies are moving away from us, and the further away they are, the faster they are moving. Known as Hubble's Law. A helpful way to picture this is to imagine that galaxies are bits of fruit in a loaf of bread. As the dough rises in the oven, the full pieces, move apart not because they are actively moving away from each other, but because the dough between them is expanding.

00:50:08:04 – 00:50:39:14
Also, there is no center inside the dough as all bits of fruit see others moving away from them. By measuring how fast galaxies are moving apart, we can run the clock backwards and see that at one point, 13.8 billion years ago, the universe was incredibly hot, dense state, which is the Big Bang. Space looks dark because there is no atmosphere to scatter sunlight on Earth.

00:50:39:19 – 00:51:08:16
The sky is bright because air spreads the sun's light in all directions. In space, the light travels in straight lines. So unless you are looking directly at a star, everything looks black. Similarly, it is covered in space because there are very few particles. The sun heats, objects directly through radiation, but since there is hardly anything to store and transfer, the energy space stays cold.

00:51:08:18 – 00:51:27:13
If you were to float about in space, the sun's rays hitting you would, heat you up. Which is part of the reason why space suits are white. There's there's, you know, there's a lot more. There is a hell of a lot. Let's get this geezer on. Let's get him on this. Also get some fucking answers because that's that's that's a second geezer.

00:51:27:13 – 00:51:47:13
That is his on. Wait, wait. Let me. Well, where do they live? Where they live? I can't tell you, the names. Right. Listen, whoever this is, you send sending in, right. Message us and we'll do an episode where we just ask you these questions. Because basically what we've done on this episode is you say something and I'll go, I don't know.

00:51:47:16 – 00:52:09:02
And you and I, and you don't know. We don't know anything. We just reading these facts and these guys just. No, let's get them on. But did the moon landing happening? Is it physically possible to watch the moon landing. Some people go. It's not possible. The pressure, the, Right. So I say we have a waiver. You just said, what does it mean?

00:52:09:06 – 00:52:25:24
I don't know what you just said. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. All that stuff you just said. I don't know what that means. It's. Yeah, I mean, you got a good idea about that. Like the sun and the sun. Like in a loaf of bread? Yeah, that makes sense. You did it. Of course it fucking date what you're doing.

00:52:25:24 – 00:52:48:24
You what you just said. Yeah. You you thought you thought that actually it was space spreading and dragging the planets around rather than the planets moving themselves. No. And then when, like you said, a loaf of bread that was like, oh, okay. Well, let's see what I'm saying is, I don't know if that's true. We got to believe him because he's a fucking he's got masters in metaphysics or whatever.

00:52:48:24 – 00:53:05:20
He said, let's come on, let's ask questions. Okay. Well, I would think that we'll get the physics lads on there. Anyone can listen to fucking Brian Cock say some shit. And I'm like listening to it. And I'm like, well, I have to believe you because there's no world where I could challenge any of this stuff. So let's just.

00:53:05:22 – 00:53:32:20
I saw Who's the American geezer. There's quite a lot of American, Asian something. He's been on Tyson grass. God save him. Yeah, yeah, there's another bloke talking, and there's a new theory about, about what space is and time specifically, and how time works in space. And. Okay, apparently the dimensions connected by wormholes or some shit, I don't know.

00:53:32:24 – 00:53:51:03
Yeah. And I want to say something about Stranger Things. Yeah. Might have been. I don't know what. I can't remember what I said, but it was, like these different dimensions. Yeah. Not. Yeah. But. And they were blown. The mind was blown, and they were like, oh my God fucking. Oh. Like they're blowing each other's minds. Yeah, yeah.

00:53:51:03 – 00:54:09:09
And I'm like, this might as well have been in Arabic, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know what what what you're saying. Why this is interesting. Right. Why why is your mind blown? Explain it to me like I'm five years old. Please. Because I don't know what you're talking about. But this is I think this is this has come full circle and said to finish it off.

00:54:09:09 – 00:54:33:21
Now whilst they are talking about that stuff. Right. And, you know, scientists come in with a new theory like you've just said in theory. And they said, actually, well, the way we look at things is from X, y, Z that, you know, it doesn't take that long for a star to rise. The burning stop. Bye bye bye bye, bra.

00:54:33:23 – 00:54:59:14
We've got a new theory. So what I'm saying is, like, I listen to coxae, I listen to this Tyson Grass say whatever his name is, the physics lads that are emailing in on. I hear what they're saying, but I just don't like how can I, how can I believe in what people say? So when it moves so quickly in the room or next week there's a new theory and it's like, what?

00:54:59:14 – 00:55:22:05
Do you know what everything you believed about the sun. Well, actually there's like five burning stars which make up the sun, I don't know, do you know, before we if you look out of space and you think, I hope pointless, but nothing matters, does it? Nothing matters? No. Because this fucking trillion million stars out there, we don't know why.

00:55:22:07 – 00:55:49:24
No. So why is Putin attacking Ukraine? Why is Trump now attacking Iran? I don't know, like just look up, explain that and then and then attack Iran. You have to. Otherwise it's like we are going to be space dust. All of us. Yeah we are, we are. And that's what you want to do. Instead of figuring out what the why the stars up there.

00:55:50:01 – 00:56:21:06
You want to, like, bomb Iran? Duncan I mean, that isn't there. I don't know if I'm butchering this, but there is. Apparently we know more about space than we do about the sea. I've heard that. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's just not how they found out. You know, they found, the deepest that what they thought is that there's no it can be no life or certainly no like fish whose life is like plankton and shit down there.

00:56:21:06 – 00:56:42:02
But there can be no fish below 808,000m, which is like five miles more than five miles down. Right. Okay. And the way they sent this little robot down, and they put some fish on the robot that fish to see if they would go anything would come down and eat it. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I found these things.

00:56:42:03 – 00:57:12:11
It's near Japan. They found these snail fish, disgusting little things. But they they they just found those is my point. They didn't say. Yeah, yeah. And you know what I didn't know is because now he's for about putting a fish on a robot and sending it down this lot. Who cares if. Yeah, I think they really want. And what's money that I collect?

00:57:12:13 – 00:57:33:05
He wants to see what's in it. He wants to see what's in the trench. Dog down to see what's down there. Right. But it's like a tunnel. It's like, we found that out, and. But then there is a point in it about finding that stuff. You don't know. I just think with the cost of, petrol at the moment, like, maybe they could do that later on.

00:57:33:05 – 00:57:51:05
Let's get the price for, Well, I don't get it right. It's that way. So we know more about space than we do about the sea. The sea is, like, literally their physical. We can touch it. The sea's just there. Start studying the sea. Right. All the resources and stuff like that that we could use is there with space.

00:57:51:07 – 00:58:15:07
You're talking about a fucking burning star that's 55,000,000 trillion Brazilian miles away. Don't worry about that. It's nowhere near us. Yeah, worry about the sea. Let's use the sea. Go in the Mariana Trench and find something. Now find. Fly em free. Seven. Oh! What happened to it? Just disappeared. You haven't got the running order for this, have you?

00:58:15:09 – 00:58:25:09
What? Do you know what we're talking about next week? Are we talking about that? How are we ever,

00:58:25:11 – 00:58:50:12
Clearly. Right. That's enough space to actually. Do. You know what? Sorry. There's a couple of patrons that have, I said that, if a patron comments, I'll read out. First one are vivid memories of seeing the Hale-Bopp comment coming. Yeah. The the I highly comment how you comment that this is part four. There's a part I.

00:58:50:14 – 00:59:15:15
Yeah, there's a pub over the right could Halley's comet. Right? Yeah. You remember this is different, how this is called Hale-Bopp comment. I don't know if they're the same in 1997, as a ten year old and being mesmerized by the stars, since we tend to do a trip out to the Cotswolds when the meteor shower comes around in August and watch them together, you can pick out satellites like the ISS.

00:59:15:18 – 00:59:37:05
That's International Space Station, I think. Unfortunately, never seen anything unexplained like that. Very good. Thank you for that. When I, when I, where I live, if we turn all the lights off where I used to live, you would see satellites and shooting stars all the time. I'd never seen one in my entire life until I moved out to the countryside.

00:59:37:05 – 00:59:57:11
And. And you look up there on, like, a summer evening. You might see. You could probably see Shooting Star every couple of minutes. Fuck off. Really? Yeah. Or Shooting star or satellites more often than you see this. I've never. I've never seen anything. Not. Yeah, well, you just see the. It looks like a star just moving across the sky, but it ain't.

00:59:57:12 – 01:00:29:07
It's like it's a piece of metal with the light reflecting off it. I, I think I'd freak out if I thought I'm pretty cool. It is. Good. Yeah. Meteor showers. And you see a few of you. Yeah. That would. Yeah, that would fucking proper scare me. Like I'm in. I remember, I know when I used to, smoke, smoke, smoke the Urb and I was out in the garden having a little blazer, and I saw this light and it was moving across, and I thought, fucking hell, that's a, satellite or something.

01:00:29:13 – 01:00:52:19
And I was. I started proper trip because I couldn't think of what it was, and it was bright and all that light. And then as I got closer, I could hear. And it was actually a plain sight. Listen to this. Hailey's comment was my hated comment is my comment is made up of no, it's called a dirty snowball, something I do.

01:00:52:19 – 01:01:27:10
Your mom, composed of volatile ices, water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane and ammonia mixed with dust and rocky materials. Solid dark nucleus releases these materials as jets when passing near the sun, forming a glowing cone, coma and tail. Right, right, right. Yeah. The herb coughing. The herb coughing. That is, well, I slap, you know, you know that, you know.

01:01:27:10 – 01:01:55:12
What is that? Coughing. The herb is human traffic. And the one, Fuck. We've got one more. Let's come in. Hello, fella. I fucking love space. While there's loads to talk about, I once saved this little snippet from a podcast called The Science of Everything. Episode 11 is about the creation of the universe. Whilst part of the bigger conversation, it really struck a chord with me.

01:01:55:14 – 01:02:11:15
I've attached my screen recording. Definitely looking forward to listening to the podcast. Have you got the, clip that I sent over in, email that this gentleman? Yeah. Let's play it.

01:02:11:17 – 01:02:17:07
Go download it. Nye. Yeah.

01:02:17:09 – 01:02:42:01
Reasonable. Right. And so in answer to the question of why the universe came into existence, I offer the modest proposal that our universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time as a result of random quantum fluctuations. And that's a quote from a Scientific American article that I read you. The universe is simply one of those things that happens from time to time as a result of random quantum fluctuations.

01:02:42:03 – 01:03:05:05
That may seem like a very bold proposal, but as I've mentioned here, many physicists are taking ideas. This idea and ideas very much like this very seriously just happens every now and then. Yeah, I mean, the thing I love about this is that so the person that sent this in, they've picked this up themselves of this conversation and it really struck a chord with them.

01:03:05:07 – 01:03:27:04
One of those things which happened time to time as a result of random quantum fluctuations. I don't know how that is applicable in someone's life. In the daily life that crept up like you're you're getting the beans from Tesco's pick up a can and just be like, random, random. But that's that's it's just a random thing.

01:03:27:04 – 01:03:49:11
Random threaten that. That is how that is how the universe began of just a series of random. Yeah. Well, I, I'm more to the point like life I life, right. I just random and it just happened this now I spend all my time on this random event worrying about a football club that I can't control. So that's what I think.

01:03:49:12 – 01:04:13:11
That's what I've done with my time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Glad you brought that. Because I had one hour of life where I have wasn't. That's been the end of that conversation. We all going to go on to something only, you know, as we mentioned during the pod, the topic for next week is the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 or MH 370.

01:04:13:13 – 01:04:41:08
It was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members when it vanished, becoming one of the world's most enduring aviation mysteries. Join us next week where I and Flav will investigate that. I don't know, I mean, I might, I might, fucking pussy out there. What do you mean? Because I'm gonna because I'm going to start reading and research and being like, God, I don't feel good.

01:04:41:08 – 01:05:04:19
I don't feel good. I might see if there's any documentaries I can watch. Maybe I've got all these olives at work tonight. Maybe I'll, shit. Random and on YouTube. Watch documentary about that. I have a little blast. I mean, I was just obsessed by it when it happened. Yeah. I mean, speak to Ben and find out what the logical thing is.

01:05:04:19 – 01:05:30:10
I, well, we'll talk about it. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to get, get Ben to send a little voice note in, Yes. So. Oh, by the way, as well, so that was a topic for next week. If you have any more suggestions for topics that you want flavonoids to cover, send in to Ladd's Anon pod, gmail.com.

01:05:30:12 – 01:05:43:24
And we will cover the topics as a podcast. Now we're going to go into something and, you know, coffee and herb coffee or.

01:05:44:01 – 01:05:49:09
What? We did something. Anything.

01:05:49:11 – 01:06:24:19
Well, something, you know. Oh, are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin. So I went to the Reading Festival in 2008. I think I went in 2009, I can't remember just how did the three, did the three day camping? It was going great. Got there Thursday evening, managed to get past the sniffer dogs at the train station with a big bag of weed, and my rucksack got through bag searches by hiding behind, this lump and squeezing through.

01:06:24:21 – 01:06:48:16
Set my tent up crowded joint and it was all good. Friday was awesome. Great music. I was nice and wasted. Woke up on Saturday and went over to the toilet area to do my morning constitutional. You know the scene, those containers, those container like crates with about 12 cubicles on top, six on each side, back to back.

01:06:48:18 – 01:07:19:00
This is what we spoke about this the other day. Didn't wait. Yeah. So I think we've joked someone's memory. Well, I went up the stairs and found the cubicle with the least shit and piss spread everywhere and balanced myself above the hull, breathing through my mouth and trying not to look down. I must have been there five minutes, maybe, when all of a sudden there was this really loud rumbling noise, like the sound of a car wash when it hits your windscreen.

01:07:19:02 – 01:07:43:14
I barely had time to work out what the noise was, when suddenly all this water came spraying up from underneath a through the gaps between the rivets, between the rivet walls of the cubicle. Not create, not clean water. This was shitty water with the loo road particles and stuff. What the fuck? I screamed and jumped out of the cubicle.

01:07:43:19 – 01:08:11:20
The fuckers were jet washing the fucking toilet, covering me with Facebook. I was poo and paper in the process. Well, one of the cleaners came rushing over the steps of the cubicle. Should have had a ferry across it saying that they were closed for cleaning. Somehow I'd not seen it or they had forgotten to put it up. Anyway, they rushed me to the shower block, stinking, covered in shit and retching.

01:08:11:22 – 01:08:39:10
I got washed and that was that. I didn't use the toilets again for the rest of the festival. I took a shit in a pizza box in my tent. I put it in the bin for the rest of the festival, and that is something I know. I know, very good. God, that is good. That is absolutely disgusting. I was like the bit at the end, like having a shit in a pizza box in your tent each evening to and fro in the bin.

01:08:39:11 – 01:09:00:09
Have you ever had to do a poo in like, I don't know, a crisp packet? Or could you prune a crisp packet? You know, there was, there was this time when I was at university where. So I think I don't know how we broke the toilet, but we broke it. And so there was a moment where we were having like, I didn't do this.

01:09:00:09 – 01:09:18:06
Just to be clear, I waited till I got to college. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Some people were put in like a bin and then they would put into a like a bin bag or like a, yeah, a plastic bag and then tie it up and then take it out. I'd never done it. I wouldn't do that. Okay.

01:09:18:06 – 01:09:38:04
Right. But when, when we were in the bag and just fling it as far as you could. Well, yeah, I was about to. I was kind of like. So I got locked out of my. Well. So I got home from work, my missus was out with the kids. I went to the back garden, just sat on the bench for a summer, and I didn't know what to do, just, you know, kick in my heels for the last half hour.

01:09:38:04 – 01:09:57:03
But till they got home and I realized that my wee job was outside and I was like, oh, fucking skinny little I have a little one skin while I wait for them at the one skin. And as I got to the end, lo and behold, the stomach was a rumbling. I needed a shit and I didn't know what to do.

01:09:57:03 – 01:10:17:07
And I looked to my left and my daughter's sandpit was there. And you know, one of those pink shells with a lit. Yeah. And I looked there was a there was a red bucket, a castle bucket for me. And I was like, may I, I'm, I have to go, have to go, have to go. And I was like, shit.

01:10:17:08 – 01:10:40:13
And I think I was wearing a coat at the time. And, I kind of shimmied my trousers down and did a poo in the bucket where no one could see what I was doing, but I'd done a shit in a bucket, right? Pull my cakes up. And then I stood there and I had this realization of, I'm holding a red castle bucket with a massive Lincoln Logan.

01:10:40:15 – 01:11:01:12
And I didn't know what to do, and I panicked because my missus and kids were going to be dying. So whilst I did panic, I don't know why I did it, but I did it, and I hold it as far like your back garden. I was in my back garden and I it was like I live in a old Victorian terraced housing estate.

01:11:01:14 – 01:11:20:10
This is rows and rows of gardens and it was like a where it came from. It was like a I did a shot put with this Red castle bucket with my fucking dirt snake in there, and fruit as far as I could just think some poor bastard was going to go in that garden in the summer. I'd be like, oh, someone's trying to this a red bucket.

01:11:20:10 – 01:11:44:13
And they flipped open. There's no fucking turd just sitting there looking at them. Terrible. Oh my God, I know I'm terrible. Okay, right. That's be the end of lots. Anonymous. Next week we're doing the the lost Malaysia flight. Sending anything that you want know on pod at gmail.com. Patrons, you get your video, you get your audio at free.

01:11:44:15 – 01:11:51:24
Everything else, you get that today, Friday, all the normies. We'll see you Monday. Have a lovely way. Goodbye. Oh.
