If you rewatch and listen to exactly what they say, they don't actually have opposing views. They're scientists, they will defer to the evidence. It's just that 1 of them is optimistic, because he's actively looking for the planet. The other is neutral and merely speaks to his more limited knowledge of the subject. The optimist still calls it a hypothesis and the neutral guy acknowledges that it could easily exist, it just hasn't been found yet.

The two scientists that were interviewed are the yin and yang sides of science: The curiosity and sheer will to learn and discover & The discipline of evidence and logic based verification of the truth of something.

@Aicerxx

Жыл бұрын

I believe that the greatest scientists were the ones that were able to try things they were excited about, regardless of what other people said was ,,logical", even if they weren't yet 100% sure whether it worked or not (unless it would end deadly of course). We were born with creativity, not just with a logical sense, so why not combine both? It often takes creativity to make theories of course, but if the scientist relies on his sheer logical will, he'll not utilize his full potential. And of course, the other way around, it can be a huge waste of time and energy to follow the urge of finding something out you are obsessed with, but at the end, regardless of effects that make us see things we want to see, there is always a logical base behind something a scientist is obsessed with. With some scientists I just feel like their obsession with everything being 100% logical and in the same sense comprehensible made them lose the thing that makes us humans special.

Amazing interview. Not often can we see two scientist with different opinions in the same video. You can see passion of Professor Batygin when he is talking about something he love

I'd actually continue the trend of naming them after Roman mythology and call planet 9 Proserpine. And it would make sense the same way all other planets were named. First of all, Proserpina was a wife of Pluto, and as we know Pluto isn'tn't a planet 8,5*. Proserpine was also a goddess of the underworld (spends its life in darkness, so does planet 9), and also a goddess of sprouting grain, and this would reference our sprouting knowledge about space and our own system. Proserpine was also actually Persephone but taken from Greek mythos, renamed, tweaked a little and set into Roman mythos, and Persephone (Proserpina) was kidnapped by Hades (Pluto). This last one would reference the facts that a)Pluto was supposed to be planet 9 but then the scientist said nah, and b) its even further away and it rarely visits the rest of the system.

Haha, David Jewitt reminds me so much of some of the scientists I know personally: Some current Macs, but more notably some absolutely obsolete ones and the software packages they came with, as well as the mandatory "don't throw it out, it's mostly working" 20-year old Apple keyboard they continue using even with their new iMac because "it feels right". And of course a box of random old electronics items that once upon a time were useful to have around. :D I love it. Visiting or seeing offices of scientists around the world makes me feel very much at home because they really feel very familiar and relatable, just like the ones I've known for a decade. Maybe it's their mindset of sticking to proven methods :D

To all the commenters making fun of "that's a great question": That's a great habit for a professor to have. When you're a student and you're nervous about asking a question, even that little bit of encouragement can be a big deal. It encourages students to engage with the lessons.

It gives the same positive affirmation without a value judgment on the question itself. Also, that dude is just way too repetitious.

@Ali Hassan Pluto isn't a planet, in 2006 it was changed to a Planetoid or Dwarf Planet (same thing). To be a planet you need to orbit a star (as opposed to moons which orbit planets), you need to be round (sufficient gravity to get round), and you need to clear your own orbit: Pluto hasn't done the last one, it's too small to shoo away the other planetoids. Additionally, it's smaller than Eris - another Planetoid in our solar system. Pluto is only 17% the mass of our Moon, and Eris is only 22% of our Moon: they're both pretty tiny - and way smaller than the Planets.

The reason why it is so much harder is because we are able to detect exoplanets based on the effect they have on their parent star. If one passes in front of it, we see this by the brightness of the star decreasing very slightly. We can also detect exoplanets by looking at how they affect the parent star’s velocity towards and away from us by looking at the Doppler shift of light from the star. For planet 9, there is no star to use to measure the planet’s influence and we instead can use only dynamics (mostly numerical calculations I believe, such as N-body simulations, to estimate where it could be). This is much more difficult, hence why we can find exoplanets but not Planet 9.

Very interesting. What surprised me the most is that they took a movie poster from 1959 (@3:14) and edited for their use. The movie is "Plan 9 From Outer Space". Key word being Plan not Planet.

12:14 this is the most impressive statement a scientist can make. mostly, we hear a ton of lies and assumptions sold as facts which they are not. good man.

Their theoretical model of Planet Nine is remarkable, a lot of deep thinking was put into it obviously. In any event, I think it exists and its discovery will bring about a reawakening in astronomy whereby more people will want to become more cosmic literate about the universe.

All the planets are named after the Roman equivalents of the Greek gods, so boreas would probably be switched for Aquilo.
