Space is Scary! - Joe Rogan and Adam Greentree

Me, I took Kim and the kids. We traveled around Australia. It must have been the end of 2007 and early last year. And we camped out on the Tanami Desert, which is like one of the last places to really be discovered and explored in Australia. There's no artificial lights out there at all whatsoever. And we camped out on the desert. The only thing that was around us was dingoes and camels. You'd hear them moving through the night. Camels? Yeah, but we sat there at camp. I just had my truck, my ute, with the camper on the back, like real lightweight setup. And we sat there. No lights on on the camper or anything. So you're sitting in the pitch, black moonless night. And the meteors, dude. I reckon we counted 40, 50 meteors over like half an hour. Yeah, they're always flying in. The naked eye. I've seen them perfect, dude, sitting there with the family. And I'm like, this is the best. It was so amazing just to sit there, especially with the kids and Kim as well. It's a little unnerving when you find out how many times they enter the atmosphere. Oh, yeah. There's a... How many of them are out there? Yeah, Jamie could probably look this up. But I think 100 tons of media hits the earth every single day. 100 tons, dude. But most of it enters in dust form because it breaks up. So last year I was up at my cabin just chilling out by myself, woke up in the morning, needed to do a piss, walked out. And I'm looking up and this media come through. And it was so bright that it actually lit up the ground, dude, like the most incredible media that I've seen. I had a time lapse photo going in the opposite direction. I quickly turned it around and you see that the media is dust for like... It lasts for 25 minutes, half an hour in the camera. And it's just drifting, changing shape in the atmosphere. It was insane. Wow. So it's just like every now and then there's like a real good one. So then I started looking it up and I seen one that wrecked a whole village like in Germany or something like that. This asteroid comes through wrecking shit that it didn't even touch, but it comes so close to it. It blows the walls and the windows out and everything. And I'm like, this is fucking scary. We live on a little speck. That's like turning in one of many galaxies. My friend, Randall Carlson put it best. He said, we live in the middle of a shooting gallery. Isn't it insane? It's just the time, the perspective of hundreds of millions of years. It doesn't register to us because we're only around for a hundred years. So when we look up and we see the moon, the moon looks like a fucking stop sign in the most jankiest redneck town. You know, when people shoot at signs, that's the moon looks like it's just fucking shot up with holes. Yeah. Yeah. It's just getting nailed all the time, especially with no atmosphere. All those things make it all the way through. Nothing gets slowed down by the air or burns up in the atmosphere. Isn't that crazy? Everything just slams into it. Boom, boom, boom. Imagine being up there. It must be all day long. It must be slamming things into it. It was only, I think it was like 10,000 years ago, there was like a big bang, like a big media hit the earth. And I started looking into that and then I started really looking into aborigines in Australia indigenous, how long they've been around for and stuff like that. And there's now evidence to say that they've been around for 70,000 years. They lived through like three of those big medias hitting the earth. You know, like it's crazy to think about, like why didn't, I wish we had video cameras back then, you know, and they could have recorded it and we could look at it now. Like imagine that. Well, Randall Carlson, the guy that I talked about earlier, he is a proponent of this theory that this is what ended the ice age. Yeah. And he's got some pretty compelling evidence to back it up in terms of like massive, massive fields filled with dead woolly mammoths that died almost instantly. Some of them with their legs broken from the force of the impact. Yeah. He's, you know, it's really interesting because he's a guy who, I don't think he has a degree in this stuff, but he's so well read in it that he has these debates and conversations with peoples that do have these degrees in it and he can tell them things about it. And it's hard in those fields to be taken seriously if you don't have a PhD and whatever discipline it is. But man, his, his work on these things is so compelling. And the podcasts that I've did with them are just mind-blowing. But in terms of like the evidence that points to some event that ended the ice age very rapidly and caused the disintegration of the polar of the, um, the ice that was over North America, you know, North America had something like a mile high plus sheet of ice over the most of it just 10,000 years ago. Yeah. 12,000 years ago. I think I was driving through Wyoming and they've got all these signs up in Wyoming that are really interesting and it was, there's a rock formation. It will tell you how old that rock formation is, how it formed, you know, cause like, you know, rock usually embeds in layers like this, it's formed in layers like this and then you'll see a rock like that, you know, all the lines are like this. There's some of them there that are like hundreds of million years old, you know, and there's a sign there showing it and it's just, it's incredible to think how much the earth's changed. And you just said it, we're around for a hundred years at a time max, you know, and it's just like we're dropping the freaking ocean. Like even the whole human race is a drop in the ocean compared to like how old the earth is. And it's just crazy to think of it. Like it's hard to comprehend that there was that much ice over here cause there's none now, you know, but it's been that long, you know, and that's, yeah, it's mind boggling to think of. Well, they find shells in Montana. I found some on top of frigging some big Mesa out in the desert, dude, like there's no water for miles and there's shells there. There's, there was like starfish fossilized in the rocks and it's all like coral bed, you know, and that was like, that was like the bottom of the ocean. That was a reef bed. Yeah. It's the great Western inland sea. Yeah. They had sharks out there. I think they had megaladons in Montana. Shit. They find dinosaurs there all the time. One of Dudley's friends. Well Dudley knows a guy who has a ranch out there in Montana and he found a bone in his, uh, in his ranch, just maybe something protruding from the ground. Um, and he wanted someone to get a look at it. So he got ahold of some, uh, I guess what would you have paleontologists? Yeah. They went and they said, you got a fucking T-Rex here, bro. Holy shit. T-Rex on your property. Unbelievable. Yeah. I think they gave him a million dollars for it. Really? Yeah. Cause it's like a fully intact or close to intact T-Rex. Far out. Yeah. They apparently Montana, Colorado. What do you got there? Um, megalodon was found supposedly in Texas. Jesus Christ. What the fuck man? That's a fucking great. What shock boy. That's a stupid movie. The Meg, the Meg girl. I watched that shit. I watched it the other day. Yeah. I could tell. I was like, what am I sitting through here? So stupid. There wasn't just one. There was a bunch of them. Did you? Can you find out how much media? Yeah. I have, I was struggling to find that. And then I think I found what you found. So it says here's from NASA's website. There's a hundred tons of dust and sand size particles every day hit earth every day, but every day it doesn't. It seems like it would put the balance of the earth off, you know, like it's, you know what I mean? Like are we sending shit back out into space? Are we sending a hundred tons of shit back out in the space every day to off load this? Look at this. Every 2000 years or so a meteorite meteoroid, the size of a football field hits earth and causes significant damage to the area. That's scary. Once every second in the next 10 minutes, an object large enough to threaten earth civilization comes along. Not just that bigger than that. Impact creators on earth, the moon, other planetary, planetary bodies are evidence of these occurrences. Yeah. They don't even know. You know, that's the most spooky thing. Like Neil deGrasse Tyson said that we are decades away from being able to do anything about one of those things coming our way. And I saw these people that think that like they could stop it when it's happening is like not happening. He goes, there's nothing you could do. What about Armageddon, bro? The movie? Bruce Willis. Yeah, we got to say Bruce Willis up there. He'll figure it out. Yeah. Yeah. There's people have like a real distorted idea of the, the, the, the technological capabilities in terms of like, first of all, NASA is so under budgeted, they barely have enough money to put, you know, satellites in orbit. They don't have enough money to stop asteroids from coming in. I mean, the amount of money you would need is so fucking massive. It would take a cooperative joint effort of every major country in the world. Yeah. And such a force of nature. And you know, a force of nature usually can't be fucked with, you know, like scary. Well, all they can do, all they think they could do in the, and not even now, but in the future is move it off target slightly. Yeah. Yeah. To somehow or another, give it a bump, send it into Mars or something. At a certain distance and it completely misses. Yeah. Cracks of moon instead darkness, light for forever. Yeah. It's scary. Space is scary. And you don't really see space unless you're out there with no light pollution. You know, the, I don't think people that don't camp or that don't go out there. You know, you look up at night, like last night, well, not last night, but a couple of nights ago when it wasn't raining, it was a clear night and I saw quite a few stars because there was no moon. I was like, wow, so pretty, but it ain't shit. But you're not seeing the volume of it. Yeah. Those photos that you have. Yeah. Out at my farm, you can just sit there with the naked eye and you can look right into those. There's so many stars and it looks like a dark spot of the Milky Way because you can see so much of it. You know, you see color in it and everything. It's an amazing spot. Yeah. The color is weird right? What is the color? What is that? I don't know. I was, I looked at some photos other day, not my own photo, someone else's photos and they were showing the, the, like the raw images and the color that was coming out of these raw images. They look like absolute pillars like painted pillars, dude. Yeah. You know, and it's, I don't know. I don't know if it's a depth in it, if it's something like that. Jamie, go to Adam's, uh, that the first man Instagram again, like these, this, like, like the ones of, um, Oh, look at that one from BC. Go down one strip that that one there, that's with the Northern lights in it. Wow. But yeah, that's so no light pollution out there. Obviously. Oh, you saw the Northern lights in BC. I didn't know you could see him in BC. Yeah. I thought you had to be in like Iceland or something. No, that was cool. I've seen him when I was in Northwest territories, they were lighting up the ground like, and right in front of your eyes, they were just like dancing constantly right in front of your eyes. That was awesome. In the Northwest territories of Australia? No, in Canada. Oh, okay. Northern territories of Australia, right? That's what they call it. Northwest is. Okay. So where is it at the best though? Is it the best place to see it in like Iceland or some shit or Norway? I don't know. I don't know. I've seen it. So I've seen it in Northwest territories. I've seen it in BC. I don't think we didn't see it in Alberta when we were there. No. No, but I think we had shitty weather while we were there. Yeah. It's gotta be a crazy thing to see though, huh? It's like green smoke in the sky. Yeah. If you go down a couple more, Jamie, please. Silence. There's the farm go up one. Yeah. Hit that one in the middle there. Wow. Look at the color in that one. God, that's amazing. And is that, what kind of, you have to do something with the aperture? Well, for starters, it's open for longer. Right. So it's gathering in more light. You know, like the human eye, you have to actually lay there in the dark for a fair while and just like stare into that sort of to get a good look at it. How long is it open to get that image? That's like 13 or 15 seconds. Oh wow. Yep. You can leave it open for 30 seconds or you can put it on like an actual jammed open for a long time, but it's way too much light for what the farm has. And you can start getting a lot of distortion as well. That's such a cool picture with the cabin as well, with the light coming out of the cabin. Yeah. Isn't that crazy that there could be infinite earths out there? Yeah. That's what's crazy is that each one of those is a sun. Yeah. And most of them are bigger. I mean, apparently our son is a little bitch ass son. Thank God for that. Otherwise it'll be fried. Well, we just have to be further away. Yeah. But the big ones don't last that long. Apparently our son's a good one. It's a, it's like a, it's like a Toyota Tursa. Fucking last man.
