Some believe these forces could be caused by an undiscovered ninth planet—but if Planet 9 is real, why haven’t we found it yet? And if it doesn’t exist, what else could be shaping the outer edge of our solar system? Here today to explore this issue and reveal extraordinary new evidence of Planet 9, is none other than Konstantin Batygin, one of the world’s foremost experts in this field. A professor at Caltech, Konstantin specializes in planetary astrophysics, the formation and evolution of the solar system, orbital dynamics, exoplanet behavior, and the physics of planetary interiors and atmospheres. In this episode, he not only breaks down the latest evidence for Planet Nine but also shares insights from his research on Jupiter’s magnetic field. Plus, Konstantin gave us exclusive permission to feature his lecture on these topics—an unmissable opportunity to learn from one of the best in the field! — Key Takeaways:  00:00:00 Audio essay 00:03:08 What is Planet 9 and why it matters 00:12:47 Perihelion distribution dynamics 00:14:17 The most unstable component of the Kuiper Belt 00:16:46 Why is it so hard to prove Planet 9?  00:20:29 The Three-Body Problem  00:26:57 Rubin Observatory and the search for TNOs  00:30:42 Konstantin’s lecture on Planet 9  00:43:32 The importance of Jupiter 00:52:41 The role of entropy on planetary formation  00:56:04 Konstantin’s lecture on Jupiter 01:37:39 Outro  — Additional resources:  ➡️ Learn more about Konstantin Batygin: 💻 Website: https://www.konstantinbatygin.com/  📚 Publications: https://www.konstantinbatygin.com/publications ➡️ Follow me on your fav platforms: ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating  🔔 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DrBrianKeating?sub_confirmation=1  📝 Join my mailing list: https://briankeating.com/list  ✍️ Check out my blog: https://briankeating.com/cosmic-musings/  🎙️ Follow my podcast: https://briankeating.com/podcast  — Into the Impossible with Brian Keating is a podcast dedicated to all those who want to explore the universe within and beyond the known.

• End of Inflation Theory? Neil Turok’s Bold New Mirror Universe Hypothesis Explained [Ep. 480]

  Visit Consensus.app and Enter code KEATING at checkout for 40% off Consensus Premium for 2 Years or visit this link 👉 https://bit.ly/ConsensusApp Please join my mailing list here 👉 https://briankeating.com/list to win a meteorite 💥 Is the key to understanding our universe hidden in its mirror image? Are the answers cosmologists seek much simpler than we think? And can we explain the origin of the universe without inflation?  Here today to share his bold new theory is the renowned physicist and cosmologist Neil Turok. Neil, who specializes in mathematical and early-universe physics, is the Higgs Chair of Theoretical Physics at the University of Edinburgh and Director Emeritus of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Recently, he’s been getting a lot of attention for proposing a simpler, more testable cosmological model that replaces inflation with a CPT-symmetric Mirror Universe, explaining dark matter, cosmic flatness, and density variations without adding unnecessary complexity. Join us as we explore this provocative new theory in depth!  👉 ‘Cosmic Inflation’: did the early cosmos balloon in size? A mirror universe going backwards in time may be a simpler explanation by Neil Turok: https://shorturl.at/jr8kd — Key Takeaways:  00:00:00 Audio essay 00:17:02 Introduction 00:20:53 Going backwards in time? 00:26:26 Symmetry and broken symmetry in physics  00:29:02 CPT symmetry and its implications   00:37:56 Mirror universes and Sakharov conditions 00:41:43 Dark matter and right-handed neutrinos  00:57:34 Lambda CDM model and inflation  01:06:34 Conformal symmetry and Big Bang singularity  01:14:06 Dimension zero fields and quantum fluctuations  01:24:56 Anomally collection and standard model predictions  01:32:24 Where do we go from here?  01:35:03 Outro  — Additional resources:  ➡️ Learn more about Neil Turok: 📚 The Universe Within: https://a.co/d/5uzujNz  📚 Endless Universe: https://a.co/d/aJo2yIN ➡️ Follow me on your fav platforms: ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating  🔔 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DrBrianKeating?sub_confirmation=1  📝 Join my mailing list: https://briankeating.com/list  ✍️ Check out my blog: https://briankeating.com/cosmic-musings/  🎙️ Follow my podcast: https://briankeating.com/podcast  — Into the Impossible with Brian Keating is a podcast dedicated to all those who want to explore the universe within and beyond the known.
