20130916 - Michio Kaku - Physics and show premiere

[SaucyRossy]

"I wasn't worried until tonight."

[Heather Wade]

Followed by friggin Don't Fear the Reaper ... yeeeah

That's the Art Bell I remember.  1997 again.  Ha!
*Drowning in a pool of awesome*

[lava filling]

First time poster, way wayyy east of the rockies.

I'm in the UK. It's 04:33 right now. I tried to sleep a bit, but no joy.
I just turned 40 this year but...... I'm too excited. Like a kid at Christmas.

Signed up for a 'trial' with sirius yesterday.

......it's all been worth it. I'm shivering with excitement.... I'm never growing up.

yay! that's awesome! i thought people outside of north america couldn't listen?  in any case, happy early xmas.

[Agent : Orange]

Sent another wormhole message about magnetar outbursts which have huge destructive potential. Keeping my fingers crossed one of mine will make it to air.

Geeking out over here!

[MABUSE]

Mister President, we must not allow a mineshaft gap!


**M**

[Mhayhurst]

Absolutely amazing. So great to hear Art again. It's like he never left and this last hour with the WR 104 talk just made this show an instant classic.

[phrodo]

After being subjected to Dave ... WR104 would be welcome relief...

[onan]

Gah Don't Come Easy... sell it Ringo.

[nooryisawesome]

Lol at it taking 2 hrs for art to get on track.

Some other host still isn't after 10 years.

[heater]

Hey MV what kind of monthly quota in donations would we need to upgrade server?

a dedicated hosting account would be best but that is $$ relative to current hosting costs.  With our current hosting company their plans start at $139/month for a dedicated server. 

If any of the members have experience with lower cost dedicated hosts and will send me a PM I want to get some options for Michael to look at when he gets back.

[aldousburbank]

Art knows how to set the mood, to say the least. It's a radio play, and he's a one-man set designer, writer, director, even BOARD OP. Noory, on the other hand, struggles to read his cue cards.

And keep his hands off Tommy.

[AstroBuzz]

I like that Art's new show is on earlier than C2C. I can actually get to sleep at a decent time now. Thanks Art!

[DarkBroodings]

Art Bell!!! What Michio says, I believe, as opposed to Major Ed Dames who I find weirdly amusing. Oh dear, Michio says the earth will soon be laid barren...somehow I'm afraid now, so late 1990s...I love it! Cheers everyone!

[sleeplessinca]

loving the sound quality - better than ever

[someguy]

Kaku is trying to freak us out! I love it! Here is the deadly WR104

Simulation Gamma Ray Burst

[devoidzero]

Methinks Dr. Kaku read this article... "looking down the barrel" and all:

http://www.universetoday.com/13034/looking-down-the-barrel-of-a-gamma-ray-burst/

but he didn't mention that one study shows that the star is pointed away from us by 30 to 40 degrees:

http://www.universetoday.com/23342/wr-104-wont-kill-us-after-all/

Then again, these articles are from a few years ago... not sure if there's been any news since.

[bateman]

Happy to be listening with you people tonight.. People who can appreciate the awesomeness. God this is fun.

[PrairieGhost]

We are on hour 3 already! This is definitely an instant classic!

[eddie dean]

Gama Ray Burst is my favorite flavor of Gatorade.
good times!

[aldousburbank]

Having just pissed on George in this otherwise happy thread, let me say that Art had real class never referring to fumblelips.

[popple]

Hey wait a minute.... WR104, Siriusxm 104? there are no coincidences.

Killshot for noory

I wormholed Art a similar observation.

[Sumthins Goin On]

But what of Clyde Lewis.... what of Clyde Lewis..........

I like that Art's new show is on earlier than C2C. I can actually get to sleep at a decent time now. Thanks Art!

[SnapT]

How is it already Hour 3?  It feels like the show just began a half hour ago.

The master is back and I LOVE IT!

[ScaryDavey]

With only one call-in number, wouldn't it be a bitch to get through?

[CampsieNP]

Time to call in..? nooooo not yet. I would guess Art doesn't want to take a ton of calls from people saying how much they have missed him.
I am really enjoying this interview. Smart and entertaining. What a concept.
Two hours and running. A NO-SCHPLIT-SHOW zone.
(gamma ray death would take weeks? omg...scary. "slow roast" essch)

The link above seems like a more recent rundown of info about WR104.

[PrairieGhost]

With only one call-in number, wouldn't it be a bitch to get through?

I would imagine he will add more lines if the show needs.

[Heather Wade]

With only one call-in number, wouldn't it be a bitch to get through?

I've been wondering about this too.  He needs more lines.

[AstroBuzz]

Clyde takes a backseat to Art's show for me.

Clyde will still have all his terrestrial listeners to keep him going good.

[ScaryDavey]

But what of Clyde Lewis.... what of Clyde Lewis..........

No loss! Good riddance!
