Welcome, everybody, to a special audio episode of The Into the Impossible podcast featuring a lecture

0:06.0

by none other than Professor Mike Brown of Caltech, the Pluto Killer.

0:10.0

Now, this is a clip from the full hour-long lecture that he gave at UC San Diego in February

0:16.2

of 2025, which he graciously allowed me to record.

0:19.0

And I put that along with the video, the slides,

0:22.0

the interaction, and the Q&A on my YouTube channel. But the catch is it's only for members

0:26.0

of the channel. That is people that pay a whopping 99 cents or more per month to support

0:32.3

the channel and all the editing, processing, posting, hosting, it costs a lot of money to run this

0:37.3

podcast. And the only

0:38.6

thing I kind of get back for it in terms of remuneration is this slight amount of ad revenue that

0:44.0

Google Danes to send me and some podcast episode revenue. If you do listen and not skip the commercial,

0:50.2

0:57.4

content coming from great geniuses on the show, including friends like Fred Adams and lecture,

a special lecture, by Kyle Dawson, who's the past spokesperson of Desi, who seems to have proven

1:07.8

that perhaps the universe's dark energy is not a cosmological constant.

1:11.6

That will also be posted for members only.

1:13.6

So enjoy the audio of this, but go over to YouTube and watch the video, and you'll do that by just going to the members section,

1:20.6

and you'll see the video for Mike Brown. We'll put a link to join the channel down below as a member.

1:25.6

Again, the lowest tier membership is 99 cents.

1:28.3

The highest tier is $20 a month. And for that, whopping 20 bucks, you get to spend an hour with me

1:32.6

each month, answering questions and reacting to your pet theories of everything or Planet Nine

1:38.2

hypotheses or perpetual motion machine patents or mathematical treatises. So I do that not again to make money.
