   Brian: Yeah, I can imagine. Kip: His   apology and Oppenheimer didn't... And so it was a  momentous moment in the history of science that,   of miscommunication between these two great men. Brian: And was   it an arrogance on Oppenheimer's or just a- Kip: No, no. Brian: ...feeling bad? Kip: I don't think so. Brian: Or what do you think the emotion was? Kip: I think he   was just ... I don't know. I didn't know. I  knew Wheeler better than I knew Oppenheimer.   Certainly Oppenheimer is capable of arrogance,  but I don't think so. …

   [music playing] NARRATOR: Reports of UFO sightings come from all corners of the globe. I was taken onboard a 200-foot diameter spacecraft in Mojave Desert, and given-- I saw two great big road bright lights hanging oblique-- NARRATOR: Most believe these alien encounters are a modern phenomenon. But the fact is they have been reported for thousands of years. MICHAEL CREMO: Practically, every human civilization have been in touch with extraterrestrial beings. GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: In India, Israel. DAVID CHILDRESS: The Mayans and the Aztecs. The idea that there was one or more non-human groups i…

   Brian: And did   that convince the community at  that point, or was it still- Kip: Well, it was really quite interesting that   it ultimately convinced the community, but his  techniques were sufficiently alien to physicists.   They were familiar to some mathematicians,  but sufficiently alien to physicists that   it took a few years for the community to come  around, particularly the community in Moscow.  I had very close relationships with the Russian  physicists early in my career and was commuting   back and fo…

   At first, US military personnel announced that they had recovered debris from an unknown spacecraft, but later they reversed themselves because 24 hours later the military completely changed its story and said, "Sorry, we made a big mistake. It was just a weather balloon." But of course, no statement was made as to how trained military personnel [music] couldn't tell the difference between a flying saucer and a weather balloon. But why did the military change their story? Was it because they found something else? Something otherworldly as ancient astronaut [music] theorists believe. People who…

   Kip: And Oppenheimer says,   and there's a big confrontation between  the two of them, at what's called a Solvay   Congress in '56 or '57, in which Oppenheimer  says, "Well, it's very simple. It just cuts us   off from ... The collapsing star cuts itself  off from the rest of the universe and what   happens down inside there has no influence  on the external universe, so why worry?"  And so they have this radically different  viewpoint. And in fact, sorting out what   happens with the singularity turns out to …

   I want to see   a movie of the launching of these jets. That's what I think we will ultimately   get from the Event Horizon Telescope. I'm just  waiting for them to come out with movies now,   not of the black hole in M87. Because  that's such a humongously big black hole. Brian: Timescales. Kip: Movie's just too long a timescale.   But the black hole in the center of our galaxy. That is technically very, very difficult. But   that's where the really exciting payoff  from the Event Horizon Telescope is going   to come. …

   I say alien abduction because some of the pieces of information that they discuss, the loss of time, seeing beings that actually came out of this craft and associated and interacted with them and they weren't human. Ultimately, under hypnosis, they recall being brought out of the car and taken aboard the ship, that it was a legitimate abduction and that Betty pleaded with her captors, if you will, that not to harm her. uh as she laid on this table and experiments were done on her like a needle being [music] inserted into her stomach. Barney relates a number of skin samples and sperm being take…

   That when stuff  falls into it, it changes its whole character.  So by contrast with the horizon of a  black hole, which is highly stable,   you perturb it and it vibrates a bit and then  settles back down. It's just so stable. You can't   blast it apart. By the contrast, what's going  on down beneath there is highly unstable. And   when stuff falls in, the gravity of the  stuff that falls in completely changes   what's going on down inside the black hole. So as best we understand it today, and this is   part of th…

   That the theories that were   being developed and the models that were being  developed were by 1980s were pretty much right on. Brian: For instance,   additional data that ultimately was awarded the  Nobel Prize, observations of stellar trajectories   in the center of our galaxy, was that viewed  as just adding to the mountain of evidence? Kip: I think there was   always a worry, I would say, a worry of hope  that there was something wrong. I saw over my   career some huge surprises where we were wrong.  For example, t…
