something like that very young and my 76 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:36,820 vague vague vague memories are of 77 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:38,170 sitting in front of the television 78 00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:42,130 watching the astronauts jumping up and 79 00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:44,950 down on the moon now here's the thing I 80 00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:48,100 don't know if I'm remembering the actual 81 00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:52,480 broadcast or if I'm remembering watching 82 00:03:58,740 --> 00:03:56,830 the home movies my dad took pointing the 83 00:04:03,330 --> 00:03:58,750 camera at the television of the 84 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:03,340 astronauts on the moon I can't say but 85 00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:05,650 somewhere in the Saunders archives are 86 00:04:12,990 --> 00:04:09,280 my father's home movies taken in 1969 87 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:13,000 taken 50 years ago in Canada as it 88 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:14,650 happens that's where we were living at 89 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:17,530 the time when Neil Armstrong set foot 90 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:21,010 upon the moon and what a bizarre world 91 00:04:26,159 --> 00:04:23,050 we live in when years and years and 92 00:04:30,570 --> 00:04:26,169 years and decades later the moon 93 00:04:33,630 --> 00:04:30,580 landings were faked nonsense sprung up 94 00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:33,640 around the world and there are still 95 00:04:39,330 --> 00:04:36,550 people to this day who are convinced 96 00:04:41,310 --> 00:04:39,340 that the moon landings were faked I know 97 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:41,320 some of them and more recently we've 98 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:43,610 seen the rise of the Flat Earth move 99 00:04:50,110 --> 00:04:46,250 with thousands of young people 100 00:04:52,510 --> 00:04:50,120 especially now firmly believing that the 101 00:04:55,059 --> 00:04:52,520 world is flat and that we've been lied 102 00:04:57,309 --> 00:04:55,069 to all these years and NASA is full of 103 00:04:59,679 --> 00:04:57,319 lies and producing fake videos of they 104 00:05:04,029 --> 00:04:59,689 around Earth I guess it's up to all of 105 00:05:09,249 --> 00:05:04,039 us to try and step out these bizarre and 106 00:05:10,929 --> 00:05:09,259 crazy and false beliefs now you might 107 00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:10,939 hear a cat at the door I better open the 108 00:05:23,589 --> 00:05:17,449 door yes you're not

the 129 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:37,180 moon particularly full of children with 130 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:39,130 wearing Kellogg's packets on their heads 131 00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:40,810 and things

given over to just one 140 00:07:04,470 --> 00:07:02,110 thing that's right yes it doesn't happen 141 00:07:08,130 --> 00:07:04,480 very often but every use every space is 142 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:08,140 being utilized so that people can enjoy 143 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:10,690 and concede oh I guess the momentous 144 00:07:15,810 --> 00:07:13,690 occasion of the first humans on the moon 145 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:15,820 yes in some of the publicity ever sent 146 00:07:19,140 --> 00:07:17,410 out you said it might be the last time 147 00:07:22,470 --> 00:07:19,150 everybody agreed with something big the 148 00:07:23,820 --> 00:07:22,480 Americans did that's right yes I guess 149 00:07:25,050 --> 00:07:23,830 you could argue that one but yeah you're 150 00:07:27,330 --> 00:07:25,060 right they would they would they were 151 00:07:28,890 --> 00:07:27,340 dissenting voices but imagine if Trump 152 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:28,900 tried to do that now even it was a good 153 00:07:32,490 --> 00:07:30,970 thing he'd get complaints I'm sure he 154 00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:32,500 would yes are we talking about how many 155 00:07:36,450 --> 00:07:34,240 dollars I think we're going into at this 156 00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:36,460 time I think and you've got artifacts 157 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:39,310 and photos from the original mission is 158 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:41,890 that correct yeah I guess the reason we 159 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:44,170 put this exhibition together was you 160 00:07:47,340 --> 00:07:45,970 know everyone is under the same moon we 161 00:07:48,450 --> 00:07:47,350 all have a relationship with the moon 162 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:48,460 and some people have different 163 00:07:53,130 --> 00:07:51,250 relationships and others and we wanted 164 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:53,140 to consider that event where people 165 00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:56,290 walked on the moon and but also people's 166 00:08:00,240 --> 00:07:58,720 ongoing relationship so one of the 167 00:08:02,910 --> 00:08:00,250 things we did was ask people if they had 168 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:02,920 any memorabilia or what their memories 169 00:08:06,690 --> 00:08:05,410 were of the moon landing and we've got 170 00:08:10,310 --> 00:08:06,700 things that people have hung on to for 171 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:10,320 50 years the front covers of newspapers 172 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:12,970 project books maybe window or 10 so 173 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:14,890 obviously they're now 60 you know things 174 00:08:19,710 --> 00:08:17,650 like that so which has really fun we 175 00:08:22,050 --> 00:08:19,720 interviewed some of our local residents 176 00:08:25,230 --> 00:08:22,060 and asked them where they were and who 177 00:08:28,890 --> 00:08:25,240 they were with and you know they all 178 00:08:30,930 --> 00:08:28,900 recollect that event quite clearly even 179 00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:30,940 50 years later and remember who they are 180 00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:32,830 with me I can remember being stuck in 181 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:34,690 kindergarten and made to watch it on a 182 00:08:36,759 --> 00:08:36,130 very very small black and white 183 00:08:38,319 --> 00:08:36,769 television 184 00:08:42,069 --> 00:08:38,329 which seemed rather modern and exciting 185 00:08:44,139 --> 00:08:42,079 at the time yeah I bet you were a really 186 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:44,149 long way away from it as well yeah I was 187 00:08:48,429 --> 00:08:46,610 at the back as usual going what who what 188 00:08:50,319 --> 00:08:48,439 what is that on the television yes but 189 00:08:51,939 --> 00:08:50,329 everybody seems to remember that I seem 190 00:08:53,979 --> 00:08:51,949 to have this weird vague memory that it 191 00:08:55,629 --> 00:08:53,989 was bright burnt orange which was very 192 00:08:58,389 --> 00:08:55,639 modern for the time for a television to 193 00:08:59,919 --> 00:08:58,399 be coming oh yeah what are them to be a 194 00:09:01,840 --> 00:08:59,929 thing of the sixties of that color 195 00:09:03,729 --> 00:09:01,850 though oh yeah I think pie made 196 00:09:06,189 --> 00:09:03,739 televisions like that as well well but 197 00:09:07,929 --> 00:09:06,199 what dumb is one of the more unexpected 198 00:09:12,699 --> 00:09:07,939 things you on earth when you ask people 199 00:09:14,019 --> 00:09:12,709 in the local area to contribute I think 200 00:09:15,189 --> 00:09:14,029 just some of the memorabilia that people 201 00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:15,199 have hung on to you know there's an 202 00:09:20,289 --> 00:09:17,769 ashtray there's a medallion 203 00:09:22,569 --> 00:09:20,299 there's certificates that said that they 204 00:09:24,789 --> 00:09:22,579 were witness to the event one of the 205

exhibit look it's probably that 211 00:09:41,379 --> 00:09:39,290 artwork that people have contributed so 212 00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:41,389 the other exhibitions in the other five 213 00:09:46,299 --> 00:09:44,360 spaces yeah yes cuz use is there six 214 00:09:48,369 --> 00:09:46,309 spaces being taken up I actually never 215 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:48,379 counted how many exposures but in total 216 00:09:51,309 --> 00:09:49,970 there because you've got a lot we're 217 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:51,319 actually taking over other little bits 218 00:09:56,139 --> 00:09:53,170 and pieces as well so even our little 219 00:09:59,319 --> 00:09:56,149 our feeder foil we're taking that over 220 00:10:01,859 --> 00:09:59,329 for to present some works that Liverpool 221 00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:01,869 public

00:10:08,569 well but yeah in each of the gallery 225 00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:10,790 spaces there's something related to the 226 00:10:16,239 --> 00:10:12,230 moon so they've all got different themes 227 00:10:18,129 --> 00:10:16,249 we've got a really large installation by 228 00:10:20,590 --> 00:10:18,139 an artist named Lisa salmon her 229 00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:20,600 exhibition is called high loom and it's 230 00:10:28,299 --> 00:10:23,110 five meter screens there's five of those 231 00:10:31,210 --> 00:10:28,309 plus objects and light and shadow that 232 00:10:33,609 --> 00:10:31,220 she's playing with and it's she calls it 233 00:10:36,009 --> 00:10:33,619 like a dance between the planets and the 234 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:36,019 solar system well that sounds quite cool 235 00:10:40,059 --> 00:10:38,569 no I'm not should people allocate in 236 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:40,069 time because it sounds like there's a 237 00:10:42,789 --> 00:10:41,689 lot you've got to get through there you 238 00:10:44,980 --> 00:10:42,799 couldn't get through all of it in an 239 00:10:47,139 --> 00:10:44,990 hour could you use a lot to look at no I 240 00:10:48,819 --> 00:10:47,149

in the 249 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:07,390 night but yeah I would allocate a good 250 00:11:12,810 --> 00:11:09,850 amount of time and we also have the 251 00:11:14,490 --> 00:11:12,820 Billboard Cafe

being shipped 260 00:11:31,740 --> 00:11:30,430 off to anywhere else either so I'm glad 261 00:11:33,990 --> 00:11:31,750 that you feel the powerhouse are still 262 00:11:36,810 --> 00:11:34,000 there

00:11:41,350 what I want to know is the kids are 266 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:42,820 going to make stuff out of recycled 267 00:11:49,050 --> 00:11:45,010 items and I want to know the best way to 268 00:11:50,940 --> 00:11:49,060 make a recycled spaceship look yeah look 269 00:11:54,690 --> 00:11:50,950 I'm leading that up to our public 270 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:54,700 programs team and that sort of thing so 271 00:11:59,100 --> 00:11:57,010 it's the last day last weekend of the 272 00:12:02,220 --> 00:11:59,110 school holiday so you know we're 273 00:12:04,410 --> 00:12:02,230 inviting kids to come along between four 274 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:04,420 and six to make some sort of space bling 275 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:06,730 to wear to the disco that goes from 6 to 276 00:12:11,340 --> 00:12:09,250 7:30 which they'll make a whole bunch of 277 00:12:13,050 --> 00:12:11,350 aliens - yeah look I'm sure there'll be 278 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:13,060 lots of alfoil that's what I'm guessing 279 00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:15,250 I think so I've been trying to figure 280 00:12:19,069 --> 00:12:16,720 out the helmet thing the whole fish ball 281 00:12:21,690 --> 00:12:19,079 thing doesn't really work anymore at Fox 282 00:12:23,340 --> 00:12:21,700 yeah yeah oh my go with the old 283 00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:23,350 Kellogg's cornflakes packet with the 284 00:12:27,870 --> 00:12:25,360 flat cap Oh head over to the front yeah 285 00:12:29,940 --> 00:12:27,880 like that idea - we're in one of the 286 00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:29,950 spaces we've got some of the artists are 287 00:12:34,410 --> 00:12:31,600 responding to the idea of being an 288 00:12:38,819 --> 00:12:34,420 astronaut so yeah lots of emotions they 289 00:12:40,319 --> 00:12:38,829 come up with one of them has come up 290 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:40,329 with you know what it would be like if 291 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:42,370 your family flew to the moon so he's 292 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:45,130 made space couches where each seat is 293 00:12:49,340 --> 00:12:47,170 actually molded to the astronauts body 294 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:49,350 so they're molded to his family's bodies 295 00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:54,010 and and that's Adam Norton so he's 296 00:12:58,290 --> 00:12:56,320 created those space couches I think Adam 297 00:13:00,180 --> 00:12:58,300 noted as done double duty there it's 298 00:13:01,949 --> 00:13:00,190 actually made a Christmas present for 299 00:13:02,940 --> 00:13:01,959 his family and an installation at the 300 00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:02,950 same time 301 00:13:07,770 --> 00:13:05,110 right yes it's a bit of fun I think yes 302 00:13:10,140 --> 00:13:07,780 and and that's so free to get into is it 303 00:13:12,570 --> 00:13:10,150 or no this is it yes it is yeah so 304 00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:12,580 there's a couple of events that are paid 305 00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:14,710 events one of those is really exciting 306 00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:18,310 it's a Jeff stuff doing his David Bowie 307 00:13:24,810 --> 00:13:22,510 unzipped performance I've seen that and 308 00:13:25,950 --> 00:13:24,820 Jeff stuff in the setting there which be 309 00:13:27,690 --> 00:13:25,960 would might be a little bit more 310 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:27,700 intimate than usual for Jeff tough 311 00:13:31,620 --> 00:13:29,410 performance I would highly recommend a 312 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:31,630 great environment to see Jeff and you 313 00:13:36,510 --> 00:13:33,370 know Space Oddity was you know part of 314 00:13:38,130 --> 00:13:36,520 the the moon landing experience so it 315 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:38,140 was one of the things that was broadcast 316 00:13:43,620 --> 00:13:41,290 just released only I think a week before 317 00:13:45,420 --> 00:13:43,630 the actual moon landing so helped him 318 00:13:47,460 --> 00:13:45,430 rise to fame I think sort of being 319 00:13:48,990 --> 00:13:47,470 linked to the moon landing oh yes and 320 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:49,000 one of the few recordings that actually 321 00:13:53,490 --> 00:13:52,210 uses a style of phone in it alright that 322 00:13:55,380 --> 00:13:53,500 that sort of buzzing noise in the 323 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:55,390 background is it actually a keyboard 324 00:13:59,940 --> 00:13:57,010 that's a style of phone with one held 325 00:14:02,400 --> 00:13:59,950 note amazing yes a very strange thing 326 00:14:03,810 --> 00:14:02,410 even in this day actually you're 327 00:14:05,220 --> 00:14:03,820 obviously too young to remember the moon 328 00:14:08,850 --> 00:14:05,230 landings but what do you think of them 329 00:14:11,010 --> 00:14:08,860 retrospectively I think it's really 330 00:14:14,130 --> 00:14:11,020 fascinating I think a deep sort of peak 331 00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:14,140 people's curiosity and vision for the 332 00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:16,510 future as well they start until imagine 333 00:14:21,390 --> 00:14:20,110 things beyond Earth and that where you

you know imagine space travel and 340 00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:35,530 things like that and imagining what the 341 00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:37,360 world might look like in 50 years time 342 00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:39,430 yes I remember all the books I had that 343 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:40,660 I've kept from that time everybody 344 00:14:44,130 --> 00:14:42,490 thought there'd be a regular moon base

Karl 408 00:17:44,299 --> 00:17:42,720 risky 409 00:17:46,159 --> 00:17:44,309 we'll be taking questions from the 410 00:17:48,230 --> 00:17:46,169 monthly audience here will be getting 411 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:48,240 questions such as why am I still alive 412 00:17:51,529 --> 00:17:49,650 what am I doing here 413 00:17:53,779 --> 00:17:51,539 what is the best bus to take home and 414 00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:53,789 other con nun drums will be sent ease 415 00:17:56,180 --> 00:17:55,200 away I'll be talking to you about 416 00:17:56,810 --> 00:17:56,190 something special which I haven't 417 00:17:57,890 --> 00:17:56,820 thought of yet 418 00:18:00,470 --> 00:17:57,900 and we'll be talking to a few people 419 00:18:02,750 --> 00:18:00,480 here and I monthly skeptics in the pub 420 00:18:05,330 --> 00:18:02,760 may not out let's get into it people we 421 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:05,340 will be asking the big question why 422 00:18:09,789 --> 00:18:08,010 don't people general people tend to 423 00:18:12,380 --> 00:18:09,799 listen to celebrities more than 424 00:18:14,750 --> 00:18:12,390 scientists or experts in their field 425 00:18:17,539 --> 00:18:14,760 you know like a shift will velvety all 426 00:18:19,610 --> 00:18:17,549 about a heart your heart condition where 427 00:18:22,159 --> 00:18:19,620 you know unlikely contacts a heart 428 00:18:24,830 --> 00:18:22,169 surgeon to ask them about anything or if 429 00:18:26,750 --> 00:18:24,840 you've got a cancer problem you talk to 430 00:18:29,409 --> 00:18:26,760 someone who's thin on Instagram rather 431 00:18:30,980 --> 00:18:29,419 than someone in oncology I don't know 432 00:18:34,070 --> 00:18:30,990 why did they do that 433 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:34,080 let's see if we can find out so why do 434 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:35,490 you think people are drawn to them more 435 00:18:39,169 --> 00:18:36,690 than someone who should know what 436 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:39,179 they're talking about yeah well I think 437 00:18:44,029 --> 00:18:41,130 it's because they're basically in the 438 00:18:46,820 --> 00:18:44,039 limelight they think that they'll get 439 00:18:49,340 --> 00:18:46,830 the ratings up and I think that it's 440 00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:49,350 good TV but as you said they should 441 00:18:53,090 --> 00:18:51,390 actually get an actual expert news I 442 00:18:54,980 --> 00:18:53,100 mean the experts I mean it's people that 443 00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:54,990 have trained in universities I mean it's 444 00:18:57,770 --> 00:18:56,130 people that have studied and they're the 445 00:19:00,980 --> 00:18:57,780 ones that really know what do you think 446 00:19:02,450 --> 00:19:00,990 it was I think it's easier TVs easy for 447 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:02,460 people to turn the TV on than going out 448 00:19:07,549 --> 00:19:05,970 and asking questions example is if like 449 00:19:09,140 --> 00:19:07,559 Eurovision is a music thing there's 450 00:19:11,180 --> 00:19:09,150 plenty of musicians in Australia that 451 00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:11,190 can talk about that but they'll get me 452 00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:13,110 or Bob down on to talk about Eurovision 453 00:19:16,580 --> 00:19:14,880 and show we know our stuff but you know 454 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:16,590 we're not musicians it's just who's in 455 00:19:20,750 --> 00:19:18,570 their contact book you know as a 456 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:20,760 celebrity I think they can also promote 457 00:19:26,450 --> 00:19:23,730 their either themselves as paleo diet 458 00:19:29,870 --> 00:19:26,460 yeah yeah paleo people he's pushing his 459 00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:29,880 own own agenda which is paying his wages 460 00:19:33,919 --> 00:19:31,710 kind of things 461 00:19:37,310 --> 00:19:33,929 it's the trouble is that you can't 462 00:19:39,620 --> 00:19:37,320 actually debate them about it or pull 463 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:39,630 pull them up for making something up 464 00:19:43,490 --> 00:19:41,730 because they've got you know they're 465 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:43,500 it's like a clickbait kind of service 466 00:19:48,889 --> 00:19:45,330 system whether it's like here the more 467 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:48,899 the headline is controversial where 468 00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:50,610 people want to watch it you know well we 469 00:19:53,299 --> 00:19:51,809 all know you shouldn't take legal advice 470 00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:53,309 from podcast maybe it shouldn't take 471 00:19:57,769 --> 00:19:55,049 advice from morning television in 472 00:19:59,419 --> 00:19:57,779 general yeah thank you quite right there 473 00:20:01,490 --> 00:19:59,429 I think it's just there that has a bit a 474 00:20:04,149 --> 00:20:01,500 lot light-hearted things to get you 475 00:20:06,049 --> 00:20:04,159 going in the morning and that's about it 476 00:20:07,820 --> 00:20:06,059 look and you shouldn't get like 477 00:20:09,620 --> 00:20:07,830 aeronautical advice from Roger ramjet 478 00:20:11,330 --> 00:20:09,630 either because they they go straight 479 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:11,340 straight 90 degrees up but I'm pretty 480 00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:14,970 sure they can't do that I think you'll 481 00:20:18,260 --> 00:20:16,559 all be pleased to know that the bane of 482 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:18,270 everybody use the representatives 483 00:20:23,389 --> 00:20:21,330 anything anywhere in this world is 484 00:20:26,090 --> 00:20:23,399 setting up the video projector to play 485 00:20:28,399 --> 00:20:26,100 your computer their files out of it and 486 00:20:29,690 --> 00:20:28,409 dr. Carl is having the usual issue that 487 00:20:30,919 --> 00:20:29,700 just about everybody does when they do 488 00:20:32,180 --> 00:20:30,929 that is that the screen is that the 489 00:20:34,460 --> 00:20:32,190 other screens that the second one is 490 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:34,470 that connect a bit higher oh oh that's 491 00:20:37,909 --> 00:20:36,570 the wrong file it's it's the world over 492 00:20:39,110 --> 00:20:37,919 there's a matter how many degrees you've 493 00:20:40,490 --> 00:20:39,120 had or how long you've been studying and 494 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:40,500 how good you are at scientific 495 00:20:43,970 --> 00:20:42,330 communication is always the video 496 00:20:48,230 --> 00:20:43,980 projector that is a hurdle to overcome 497 00:20:50,630 --> 00:20:48,240 in life we're asking why do people take 498 00:20:52,430 --> 00:20:50,640 advice from celebrities over people who 499 00:20:54,430 --> 00:20:52,440 have actually studied the topic a good 500 00:20:57,019 --> 00:20:54,440 example I like is if you're if you're 501 00:20:58,370 --> 00:20:57,029 got cancer you maybe go to someone who's 502 00:21:01,580 --> 00:20:58,380 thin on Instagram instead of an 503 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:01,590 oncologist yeah so the way I see it with 504 00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:03,570 that is that people often aspire to be 505 00:21:08,330 --> 00:21:05,760 like celebrities right they want to look 506 00:21:11,510 --> 00:21:08,340 like Gwyneth Paltrow they want to carry 507 00:21:16,490 --> 00:21:11,520 themselves the way that certain so want 508 00:21:18,529 --> 00:21:16,500 to be Baby Spice it's either that or 509 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:18,539 Roger Moore I swipe between the two 510 00:21:22,340 --> 00:21:20,610 Roger spicy yet Roger spies yeah well 511 00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:22,350 yes so I think they want to be more like 512 00:21:25,669 --> 00:21:24,270 them and the bait obviously be more like 513 00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:25,679 them you know when you meet someone for 514 00:21:28,220 --> 00:21:26,880 the first time and you're really into 515 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:28,230 them you start listening to the bands 516 00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:29,970 they like and you start from doing the 517 00:21:32,450 --> 00:21:31,200 things that they like maybe it's like 518 00:21:33,950 --> 00:21:32,460 that maybe it's psychologically they're 519 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:33,960 trying to kind of be more like them that 520 00:21:35,780 --> 00:21:34,530 way 521 00:21:37,370 --> 00:21:35,790 and there are some people who regard 522 00:21:38,420 --> 00:21:37,380 celebrities like being like their 523 00:21:40,370 --> 00:21:38,430 friends don't they are being like 524 00:21:42,590 --> 00:21:40,380 someone that they know it's a one-way 525 00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:42,600 friendship exactly I'm sure that many 526 00:21:45,770 --> 00:21:44,400 listeners were skeptical regard Richard 527 00:21:47,510 --> 00:21:45,780 Saunders as being a close personal 528 00:21:49,670 --> 00:21:47,520 friend because they hear him in there 529 00:21:51,410 --> 00:21:49,680 even more his cats than him but yes they 530 00:21:53,570 --> 00:21:51,420 they feel a very strong affinity to both 531 00:21:55,010 --> 00:21:53,580 those cats absolutely they're their cats 532 00:21:57,500 --> 00:21:55,020 exactly so maybe there's that kind of 533 00:21:59,330 --> 00:21:57,510 that weird blurring of that line okay 534 00:22:01,940 --> 00:21:59,340 and how do you think you could overcome 535 00:22:03,710 --> 00:22:01,950 that but is it to make to prefer the the 536 00:22:05,570 --> 00:22:03,720 experts a little bit more warm like 537 00:22:07,940 --> 00:22:05,580 they're better communicators a bit more 538 00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:07,950 down-home I think we could do better at 539 00:22:11,090 --> 00:22:09,600 science communication I think we do fail 540 00:22:12,830 --> 00:22:11,100 quite a lot the problem is obviously the 541 00:22:14,420 --> 00:22:12,840 people with the most knowledge aren't 542 00:22:16,730 --> 00:22:14,430 often dual trained in science 543 00:22:18,740 --> 00:22:16,740 communication like they're good at their 544 00:22:21,260 --> 00:22:18,750 jobs therefore they're not necessarily 545 00:22:22,730 --> 00:22:21,270 good at communicating and that's a shame 546 00:22:23,870 --> 00:22:22,740 but obviously you don't then want to 547 00:22:25,850 --> 00:22:23,880 have people who are the good science 548 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:25,860 communicators but aren't good scientists 549 00:22:30,290 --> 00:22:28,170 yes that's right yeah because you don't 550 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:30,300 have to be communicated to do science do 551 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:32,730 the science exactly exactly so maybe you 552 00:22:35,540 --> 00:22:33,930 almost need it kind of like a magician 553 00:22:37,580 --> 00:22:35,550 in there assistant so you have the 554 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:37,590 beautiful assistant who's able to you 555 00:22:41,570 --> 00:22:40,050 know point at things in our like at the 556 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:41,580 end of desperately seeking Susan the 557 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:45,450 magic club yeah yeah that's exactly are 558 00:22:48,470 --> 00:22:47,250 you not on the same page but someone 559 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:48,480 who's either the first time hello 560 00:22:53,060 --> 00:22:51,810 hello what's your name Alana okay now 561 00:22:55,130 --> 00:22:53,070 what do you reckon the problem is with 562 00:22:56,540 --> 00:22:55,140 people getting on to celebrities rather 563 00:22:59,300 --> 00:22:56,550 listening to someone who knows what 564 00:23:01,100 --> 00:22:59,310 they're talking about I was just 565 00:23:03,140 --> 00:23:01,110 discussing this with Trish a few minutes 566 00:23:05,780 --> 00:23:03,150 ago and I reckon from all the podcasts 567 00:23:07,970 --> 00:23:05,790 I've listened to because that makes me 568 00:23:09,710 --> 00:23:07,980 an expert but when you're you know you 569 00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:09,720 know you recognize someone's face you 570 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:10,710 know their name you know everything 571 00:23:14,420 --> 00:23:12,570 about them that you kind of think that 572 00:23:15,620 --> 00:23:14,430 you are their friend like Trish was 573 00:23:17,540 --> 00:23:15,630 saying it's like a one-way straight 574 00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:17,550 one-way friendship so back in the day 575 00:23:21,230 --> 00:23:19,200 like in the caveman times you would have 576 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:21,240 known this person so you trust the 577 00:23:24,470 --> 00:23:23,250 people you know better than you then 578 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:24,480 someone who says they know what they're 579 00:23:28,790 --> 00:23:26,250 talking about and yeah it logically it 580 00:23:30,350 --> 00:23:28,800 makes no sense but unfortunately I think 581 00:23:32,630 --> 00:23:30,360 it's just easier to trust like a friend 582 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:32,640 than it is to say someone who says 583 00:23:35,070 --> 00:23:33,850 they're an expert 584 00:23:37,140 --> 00:23:35,080 so how do you think we need how to 585 00:23:40,140 --> 00:23:37,150 overcome that how do you make an expert 586 00:23:41,490 --> 00:23:40,150 your friend the only thing I can think 587 00:23:44,190 --> 00:23:41,500 of is that if we were more active on 588 00:23:46,470 --> 00:23:44,200 social media we were more fun I mean 589 00:23:48,420 --> 00:23:46,480 that's why celebrities are famous is 590 00:23:49,980 --> 00:23:48,430 because they are active on social media 591 00:23:52,860 --> 00:23:49,990 they're active and magazines are active 592 00:23:54,180 --> 00:23:52,870 on TV they do interviews you know that 593 00:23:55,830 --> 00:23:54,190 all these things make people really 594 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:55,840 interesting like I know that we're not 595 00:23:59,970 --> 00:23:57,970 at this man's talk but Bill Nye is 596 00:24:01,350 --> 00:23:59,980 really interesting to watch and I've 597 00:24:04,380 --> 00:24:01,360 just found out today that he doesn't 598 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:04,390 he's not even a scientist but that kind 599 00:24:08,580 --> 00:24:06,850 of charisma is like how you might be 600 00:24:11,070 --> 00:24:08,590 able to reach more people and be more 601 00:24:12,780 --> 00:24:11,080 believable anything Bill Nye went in 602 00:24:14,430 --> 00:24:12,790 that debate he did with the creationist 603 00:24:16,590 --> 00:24:14,440 couple years ago did you see that at all 604 00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:16,600 I actually only saw a few clips but I

868 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:54,710 hardly ever see dead birds 869 00:34:00,430 --> 00:33:57,770 and the answer is that nature is bloody 870 00:34:03,430 --> 00:34:00,440 in tooth and claw and turns dead birds 871 00:34:05,830 --> 00:34:03,440 into food for the carrion eaters that 872 00:34:08,170 --> 00:34:05,840 happen to be around this morning I had a 873 00:34:12,850 --> 00:34:08,180 lovely question from an eight-year-old 874 00:34:16,690 --> 00:34:12,860 in Brisbane called Beryl and she wanted 875 00:34:18,370 --> 00:34:16,700 to know what was inside a proton that a 876 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:18,380 quark I don't remember what is it oh 877 00:34:20,860 --> 00:34:19,610 that's tricky 878 00:34:22,570 --> 00:34:20,870 it turns out that there's a nice 879 00:34:25,930 --> 00:34:22,580 symmetry between the very large and the 880 00:34:28,510 --> 00:34:25,940 very small they both have about 90 881 00:34:33,130 --> 00:34:28,520 something percent missing so with the 882 00:34:37,060 --> 00:34:33,140 entire known universe we can only see or 883 00:34:39,210 --> 00:34:37,070 detect directly about 5% and 95% is 884 00:34:43,420 --> 00:34:39,220 missing being in a form of dark matter 885 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:43,430 25% or dark and energy 70% and then way 886 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:46,610 at the other end of the scale going down 887 00:34:54,220 --> 00:34:49,850 to a proton or a neutron which is inside 888 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:54,230 madam 91% is missing of the mass so 889 00:34:59,560 --> 00:34:57,290 they're made of quarks there are six 890 00:35:02,290 --> 00:34:59,570 different quarks combined with their six 891 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:02,300 anti quark so there's 12 so you've got 892 00:35:09,250 --> 00:35:06,290 up and down top and bottom strange and 893 00:35:13,060 --> 00:35:09,260 charm it turns out the protons just give 894 00:35:16,330 --> 00:35:13,070 it easy a made of two ups and one down 895 00:35:17,740 --> 00:35:16,340 and they're fundamental particles and 896 00:35:21,220 --> 00:35:17,750 because our fundamental particles 897 00:35:23,590 --> 00:35:21,230 therefore their mass is given to them by 898 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:23,600 the Higgs field when you add up that 899 00:35:29,650 --> 00:35:26,810 mass you only get 9% of the mass of the 900 00:35:32,290 --> 00:35:29,660 proton and the other 91% is missing and 901 00:35:35,170 --> 00:35:32,300 we've just worked out the figures came 902 00:35:37,030 --> 00:35:35,180 through last year that the remaining 91% 903 00:35:40,150 --> 00:35:37,040 have broken up to various categories 904 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:40,160 involving gluons and gluons interacting 905 00:35:44,950 --> 00:35:41,810 with 906 00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:44,960 quarks and then quarks and gluons all 907 00:35:49,690 --> 00:35:46,880 interacting with each other and they're 908 00:35:51,820 --> 00:35:49,700 doing it by motion ions I said equals 909 00:35:54,820 --> 00:35:51,830 mc-squared do you think of energy as 910 00:35:56,740 --> 00:35:54,830 mass has been lit free from its bounds 911 00:35:58,300 --> 00:35:56,750 and binds where and the other way is 912 00:36:00,070 --> 00:35:58,310 that mass is mg this beam coagulator 913 00:36:04,150 --> 00:36:00,080 down so if you've got stuff that's 914 00:36:06,670 --> 00:36:04,160 moving fast enough it has mass the speed 915 00:36:09,340 --> 00:36:06,680 gives it the mass this is sort of point 916 00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:09,350 two as a possibility that we are a three 917 00:36:11,980 --> 00:36:10,730 dimensional projection from a two 918 00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:11,990 dimensional object or something like 919 00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:13,670 that most point of absolute where some 920 00:36:17,290 --> 00:36:15,710 work one thing could be where a hologram 921 00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:17,300 so there actually isn't anything else 922 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:19,250 there except some master controller 923 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:20,810 that's making the image for us well 924 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:22,370 that's caught that's kind of the essence 925 00:36:26,470 --> 00:36:25,010 of string theory that the fundamental 926 00:36:29,140 --> 00:36:26,480 particles are this one of the three main 927 00:36:31,750 --> 00:36:29,150 options none of them are prune that the 928 00:36:36,310 --> 00:36:31,760 fundamental particles are interactions 929 00:36:38,380 --> 00:36:36,320 of these one-dimensional strings that 930 00:36:41,230 --> 00:36:38,390 live in a n dimensional universe where 931 00:36:44,590 --> 00:36:41,240 in is about eleven or twelve and where 932 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:44,600 they kiss our world they interact with 933 00:36:49,450 --> 00:36:47,210 their vibrations to create quarks but 934 00:36:51,490 --> 00:36:49,460 there's no proof of that yeah I mean is 935 00:36:54,010 --> 00:36:51,500 it provable at all because it means 936 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:54,020 getting into the very working nature of 937 00:37:04,570 --> 00:36:57,410 a level we can't see or explore camera 938 00:37:06,460 --> 00:37:04,580 well if you had told me in 2008 that I 939 00:37:09,370 --> 00:37:06,470 could walk across the spectrum or cross 940 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:09,380 Spain with a computer in my pocket and 941 00:37:17,140 --> 00:37:12,770 with their computer I could do English 942 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:17,150 Spanish translation and get email and 943 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:18,530 the World Wide Web 944 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:20,330 etc etcetera etcetera and have a phone 945 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:21,890 and a diary I would have said make 946 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:23,330 you're pushing him but now it's 947 00:37:27,250 --> 00:37:26,090 commonplace to everybody 2000 and mid 948 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:27,260 two thousands when he had the first 949 00:37:33,190 --> 00:37:29,090 smartphones they didn't really work 950 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:33,200 until 2009 when the iPhone 3 came out 951 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:36,050 the iPhone 3 was the first functioning 952 00:37:39,580 --> 00:37:37,850 smartphone there's worthwhile spending 953 00:37:42,910 --> 00:37:39,590 your money on all of us and was just 954 00:37:46,210 --> 00:37:42,920 crap and it was amazing that I could 955 00:37:48,250 --> 00:37:46,220 carry so much capability with me in my 956 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:48,260 pocket and carry it across the 957 00:37:52,970 --> 00:37:49,970 countryside I could believe 958 00:37:54,620 --> 00:37:52,980 but if you taught me in 2000 I could do 959 00:37:58,910 --> 00:37:54,630 that no way my first got onto the 960 00:38:01,700 --> 00:37:58,920 Internet in 1987 and it took a long time 961 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:01,710 just to even plug in and now you can 962 00:38:05,570 --> 00:38:03,570 just do it automatically so I don't know 963 00:38:07,340 --> 00:38:05,580 differences he's saying is it impossible 964 00:38:10,070 --> 00:38:07,350 I will find out what's going on with 965 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:10,080 regard to 12 dimensional space it's not 966 00:38:15,530 --> 00:38:12,090 impossible but we will find out as we 967 00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:15,540 get closer and climate change is an 968 00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:17,910 existential threat but I'm being a cold 969 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:19,740 war person I remember how the whole 970 00:38:22,460 --> 00:38:21,210 world could be obliterated an afternoon 971 00:38:24,110 --> 00:38:22,470 with nuclear weapons which is still 972 00:38:25,850 --> 00:38:24,120 possible and people don't seem to talk 973 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:25,860 about that as much anymore and it would 974 00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:28,050 happen a lot faster where I mean yes 975 00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:29,730 climate change will change our planet 976 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:31,710 but we were once an ice ball earth after 977 00:38:37,430 --> 00:38:33,450 all our planet does that from time to 978 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:37,440 time doesn't well at the peak of the 979 00:38:47,090 --> 00:38:42,810 Cold War we had 30,000 nuclear weapons 980 00:38:49,750 --> 00:38:47,100 and on both sides and if they'd all gone 981 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:49,760 off in an afternoon most of humanity 982 00:38:56,030 --> 00:38:52,290 would be dead within six months there'd 983 00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:56,040 be no electricity but we managed to 984 00:38:59,720 --> 00:38:57,810 avoid that now we're down to about three 985 00:39:03,460 --> 00:38:59,730 or four thousand nuclear weapons which 986 00:39:06,140 --> 00:39:03,470 is better than yeah right okay 987 00:39:07,790 --> 00:39:06,150 I'm optimistic I think we're humans 988 00:39:09,590 --> 00:39:07,800 we'll get through I'll be talking a 989 00:39:11,630 --> 00:39:09,600 little tiny bit on climate change and 990 00:39:13,370 --> 00:39:11,640 I'm basically optimistic that we can fix 991 00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:13,380 it all we need to do is get people good 992 00:39:19,070 --> 00:39:16,730 people into politics as simple as that 993 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:19,080 as simple as that and I want to thank if 994 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:20,970 you show that it's been seen on cable 995 00:39:24,110 --> 00:39:22,290 here in Australia our doctor Carl's 996 00:39:25,850 --> 00:39:24,120 amazing moments of science because you 997 00:39:27,620 --> 00:39:25,860 introduced us to a few scientists that I 998 00:39:29,330 --> 00:39:27,630 haven't met before there was a net flow 999 00:39:31,460 --> 00:39:29,340 physicist who she was brilliant and 1000 00:39:32,060 --> 00:39:31,470 there was a biologist and she was 1001 00:39:33,770 --> 00:39:32,070 brilliant as well 1002 00:39:35,210 --> 00:39:33,780 they were great communicators and I'd 1003 00:39:37,550 --> 00:39:35,220 not seen them on television before they 1004 00:39:39,830 --> 00:39:37,560 were really good oh well I'm just a 1005 00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:39,840 little conduit trying to bring the 1006 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:41,250 goodness into the people's hearts and 1007 00:39:44,330 --> 00:39:42,570 minds 1008 00:39:46,190 --> 00:39:44,340 and one of the pieces you did have is 1009 00:39:48,230 --> 00:39:46,200 the best way to stop being bombed by 1010 00:39:49,550 --> 00:39:48,240 Magpies and what is the best thing to 1011 00:39:51,470 --> 00:39:49,560 wear on your head to stop being bombed 1012 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:51,480 by Magpies I've totally forgotten 1013 00:39:55,070 --> 00:39:53,130 refresh my memory is it a hat with 1014 00:39:56,180 --> 00:39:55,080 circles on it observe it circles and 1015 00:39:58,130 --> 00:39:56,190 there was a few different things like 1016 00:40:00,260 --> 00:39:58,140 you would try cable ties or you tries 1017 00:40:02,060 --> 00:40:00,270 drawing eyes on the back of everything 1018 00:40:03,590 --> 00:40:02,070 there the best way to make them not bomb 1019 00:40:08,060 --> 00:40:03,600 you the trouble is though that the 1020 00:40:11,540 --> 00:40:08,070 Magpies fiendishly intelligent there's a 1021 00:40:15,260 --> 00:40:11,550 learn they learn and they pass the 1022 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:15,270 knowledge on to their children so if you 1023 00:40:19,970 --> 00:40:17,610 or somebody looking like you attack 1024 00:40:23,020 --> 00:40:19,980 their nest that'll take you and then 1025 00:40:25,460 --> 00:40:23,030 their children will attack you I have 1026 00:40:28,210 --> 00:40:25,470 made friends with a few Magpies out of 1027 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:28,220 the front and I love hearing their song 1028 00:40:32,780 --> 00:40:30,810 yeah they've got a lovely song they are 1029 00:40:36,380 --> 00:40:32,790 beats a girl ah that's for sure well 1030 00:40:39,110 --> 00:40:36,390 that's me too so it's hard to stop a 1031 00:40:41,870 --> 00:40:39,120 magpie if it's trying to protect this 1032 00:40:43,310 --> 00:40:41,880 nest in the breeding season if it thinks 1033 00:40:46,130 --> 00:40:43,320 or wrongly that you've done something so 1034 00:40:47,540 --> 00:40:46,140 having spikes on your helmet they'll 1035 00:40:49,460 --> 00:40:47,550 still go for it because they're 1036 00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:49,470 therefore taking their children because 1037 00:40:53,260 --> 00:40:50,730 you're just trying to catch a ride your 1038 00:40:56,060 --> 00:40:53,270 bicycle to work so they've got a higher 1039 00:40:57,890 --> 00:40:56,070

1240 00:49:47,470 --> 00:49:43,519 several hundred times over to Europe 1241 00:49:49,630 --> 00:49:47,480 from Australia you stop the kerosene as 1242 00:49:54,009 --> 00:49:49,640 fuel by the way to receive jet fuel and 1243 00:49:57,249 --> 00:49:54,019 you give it hydrogen but on the hydrogen 1244 00:50:00,670 --> 00:49:57,259 is that it has one sixth of the energy 1245 00:50:03,099 --> 00:50:00,680 density per volume of kerosene four 1246 00:50:05,079 --> 00:50:03,109 times per pass the one sixth of the 1247 00:50:08,019 --> 00:50:05,089 volume so basically you get an Airbus 1248 00:50:10,990 --> 00:50:08,029 380 and fill the entire top or bottom 1249 00:50:12,759 --> 00:50:11,000 deck with hydrogen and you take a 1250 00:50:14,900 --> 00:50:12,769 reduced number of passengers and we 1251 00:50:17,390 --> 00:50:14,910 still are able to have 1252 00:50:20,779 --> 00:50:17,400 for around the world and then with 1253 00:50:23,299 --> 00:50:20,789 regard to carbon dioxide and it was 1254 00:50:25,220 --> 00:50:23,309 livestock and agriculture I'm reckoning 1255 00:50:27,410 --> 00:50:25,230 30 40 years because they're live now 1256 00:50:29,900 --> 00:50:27,420 trying find us and then also a lot 1257 00:50:32,660 --> 00:50:29,910 better powerful messages of hope 1258 00:50:34,450 --> 00:50:32,670 now who among you have ever run for 1259 00:50:39,380 --> 00:50:34,460

ranch again who has a 1304 00:53:08,059 --> 00:53:05,180 who here is ahead of Brittany's okay 1305 00:53:10,359 --> 00:53:08,069 fair number sir Vietnamese is a former 1306 00:53:12,730 --> 00:53:10,369 naturopath imagine for my naturopath who 1307 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:12,740 while working as a very successful 1308 00:53:19,490 --> 00:53:15,210 natural undiscovered the plea of the 1309 00:53:22,130 --> 00:53:19,500 profession is funded she was horrified 1310 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:22,140 to discover some of the problems with a 1311 00:53:28,309 --> 00:53:24,690 profession and she's left the profession 1312 00:53:32,539 --> 00:53:28,319 with a hidden debts of a quarter of a 1313 00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:32,549 million dollars and and started writing 1314 00:53:39,799 --> 00:53:35,250 about naturopathy in a website called 1315 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:39,809 naturopathic Diaries and for her efforts 1316 00:53:48,309 --> 00:53:42,450 Britt was sued by an American naturopath 1317 00:53:52,069 --> 00:53:48,319 named Christine Colleen Hoover it ube on 1318 00:53:54,039 --> 00:53:52,079 that court case so that brought case 1319 00:53:57,019 --> 00:53:54,049 obviously caused significant distress 1320 00:53:58,509 --> 00:53:57,029 the britain basically was an attempt to 1321 00:54:00,620 --> 00:53:58,519 silence her 1322 00:54:02,569 --> 00:54:00,630 australian skeptics even though 1323 00:54:05,359 --> 00:54:02,579 Brittany's an American living in Germany 1324 00:54:07,519 --> 00:54:05,369 but she's part of the skeptical movement 1325 00:54:10,849 --> 00:54:07,529 and Australian skeptics organized a 1326 00:54:14,150 --> 00:54:10,859 fundraising campaign for her and we 1327 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:14,160 wanted to raise fifty thousand euros 1328 00:54:19,039 --> 00:54:16,650 because that's what the estimate was by 1329 00:54:21,769 --> 00:54:19,049 her lawyer the cost would be in the 1330 00:54:24,170 --> 00:54:21,779 worst case scenario and we raised that 1331 00:54:27,109 --> 00:54:24,180 amount which is eighty thousand 1332 00:54:28,849 --> 00:54:27,119 Australian dollars in nine days I mean 1333 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:28,859 when I say we raised it's got to point 1334 00:54:34,099 --> 00:54:31,410 out it's the community that I mean we 1335 00:54:36,620 --> 00:54:34,109 did not put money and we simply organize 1336 00:54:40,089 --> 00:54:36,630 the kind of the campaign and within nine 1337 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:40,099 days we met the the goal of 80 thousand 1338 00:54:46,860 --> 00:54:44,490 Australian dollars and donations 1339 00:54:49,170 --> 00:54:46,870 continued and we buy now we have raised 1340 00:54:56,670 --> 00:54:49,180 things about 108 or something something 1341 00:54:59,160 --> 00:54:56,680 like what about $110,000 by now the the 1342 00:55:02,010 --> 00:54:59,170 case for what we said at the time was 1343 00:55:04,860 --> 00:55:02,020 that whatever is left over after brits 1344 00:55:06,950 --> 00:55:04,870 with whether she loses or or wins 1345 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:06,960 whatever is left over will be used for 1346 00:55:12,270 --> 00:55:09,490 some good skeptical cause including 1347 00:55:14,820 --> 00:55:12,280 potentially a skeptical Legal Defense 1348 00:55:19,410 --> 00:55:14,830 Fund for such occasions in the future 1349 00:55:27,090 --> 00:55:19,420 so um rich in early May Britain won her 1350 00:55:30,980 --> 00:55:27,100 case but there was still a lingering 1351 00:55:32,130 --> 00:55:30,990 doubt because what happened was that 1352 00:55:36,930 --> 00:55:32,140 coming 1353 00:55:40,500 --> 00:55:36,940 Gruber had until yesterday to appeal and 1354 00:55:40,980 --> 00:55:40,510 she didn't the case is now officially 1355 00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:40,990 over 1356 00:55:46,830 --> 00:55:45,130 and so so yes so we just received the 1357 00:55:48,900 --> 00:55:46,840 early morning in Germany just just 1358 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:48,910 before I walked up these stairs I 1359 00:55:53,010 --> 00:55:50,530 received them a message from the brick 1360 00:55:55,140 --> 00:55:53,020 that's up that's it the case is over 1361 00:55:56,910 --> 00:55:55,150 there's still some legal technicalities 1362 00:55:58,410 --> 00:55:56,920 to deal with like richelene Hoover has 1363 00:56:00,390 --> 00:55:58,420 to pay something northern you to mount 1364 00:56:02,490 --> 00:56:00,400 appears to play something but that's it 1365 00:56:05,490 --> 00:56:02,500 Britta's one officially finally she 1366 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:05,500 cannot be sued for it for this for this 1367 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:07,570 supposed information ever again and it's 1368 00:56:09,490 --> 00:56:09,010 a great victory for the skeptical 1369 00:56:13,490 --> 00:56:09,500 community 1370 00:56:13,500 --> 00:56:26,210 [Applause] 1371 00:56:31,530 --> 00:56:29,280 paleo pictures proudly announces that it 1372 00:56:35,550 -->
