The quality of guest Lex gets is of such a high level. I can't remember one that hasn't captivated me. I'm sure Lex asks questions for us as well. He knows the answers but leads the conversation to make it as interesting and informative as possible and creates a platform for the guest to shine sometimes sacrificing his own ego and feigning ignorance on a subject to ensure a great interview. Bravo Lex.

Only problem is you never know what you’re getting with the “New Age” cult we have now here in the US.

This is one of my favorite podcast episodes from any show.

What a smart, intelligent, young man. You got my respect, Konstantin

Open minds, open dialogue, so much awesome info

Batygin is soooo good at explaining, communicating that I feel sad of making a pause after almost an hour of podcast.

Konstantin is an excellent guest. He is a multi-faceted expert and a well educated person, including but not limited to science/physics (and more), mathematics and most interesting is how well versed Konstantin is in the humanities. His dialogue towards the end about the importance of not being clone of the high-grades, superior resume and entitled ‘A’ graduates. When cancer derailed my career at 57 I had been on my own for 10 years, after a full corporate career. I obtained the title of Senior Executive, as part of the 6 person leadership team that together took the company public into a phenomenal IPO. My peers went to he great schools Harvard, Princeton, Yale. Once at a meeting that included the CEO (Harvard) a very important new client. I was asked where I got my masters degree, I looked up from the conference room table and said, ‘You mean PhD and that I earned at the best school there is for learning how to solve complex problems, ‘The University of La Strada.’ CEO looked at the new client and said, ‘There is nothing that I would not trust that Peter would accomplish if he said he could. There is no job too difficult or overwhelming. His veracity alone is legendary, all the while juggling infinite balls in the air while doing it.” I attribute this to having a full rich life, before I decided I wanted to go from a 37 year old technical writer to partner in one decade. I did it. As Konstantin did as well. You too can do this if you can manage your time and ego. Listening to Lex’s podcast is a great place to start.

What a wonderful, captivating and educational episode. The topics covered in this specific episode were exactly what keeps me awake late at night, each and every one of them. Congratulations!

Konstantin is incredible-- I am so happy to have him in the public realm for science education and storytelling-- seems like such a humble, regular (really, really smart of course) guy who likes to explain his science. Mike Brown had me at Sedna, but Batygan is his own entirely promising media presence. @Lex. I have to hand it to you man-- that was an unreal interview. It's like you knew you had a guy that found a planet and made as much good use of your time as possible. Kudos. Great watch

Konstantin is a great guest in a pantheon of greatness. Could listen to this one over and over

Lex is becoming my favorite podcaster asks probing questions, including those difficult and even impossible to comment on he likes to treat subjects that are mysterious and just now expanding into serious studies UFOs are a good example

Loved listening to you both. ❤️ great podcast, as usual!

I love space themed conversations. Thank you, Lex. Fascinating.

I hope to see Konstantin back on the podcast. This was great and there's so, so much more astronomy and astrophysics of our solar system to explore in conversation!

So good! One of my favorite interviews. As per usual after absorbing your show, I feel smarter and spiritually richer. I had no idea how vast a territory it is that our little Sun governs. Loved the ps4 tangent.

I HIGHLY recommend putting in headphones and sleeping while listening. The dreams were so freaking cool! I want to go back tonight!

Awesome podcast again Lex, amazing that you are able to ask such great questions, of amazing guests, and do it so often. Hard to keep up with the pods. Thumbs up

Mr Lex, thank you so much for this interesting topic. With every new guest you have on, I make it a point to 'google' them to learn more about them and to understand more about the subject you're discussing. Prof. Batygin is clearly an expert on Planet 9 and astronomy in general. A great discussion. BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR EVEN MORE IS, that you make your videos available for download. This enables me to download it when I have access to Wifi and then to listen to it on long distance road trips. Data is extremely expensive where I live (South Africa) and if I hadn't been able to download your videos I would've likely not been able to listen to you in the first place, or have access to this knowledge you share. So again, thank you! 🇿🇦❤👍

Superior vehicles that travel much much much faster are theoretically and problematically inevitable. its going to become a reality and it will completely shut down that idea down.

For a layman like me who's very interested in Planet Nine and the birth of our SOLAR system (not even counting the travel of the Sun in the Milky Way) THis is so understandable, when explained by Batygin.
