Nobel Prize Winner John Mather Explains JWST

I've followed Mr. Mather all throughout the JW journey, the highs & lows Good interview!

Just prior to the launch I remember someone asking Dr Mather how nervous he was and he replied he wasn't nervous because he was satisfied that everything had been done that could possibly be done to make the JWST a success and he was confident it would be. That blew me away. Amazing dude.

PLEASE consider doing 2 hour interviews 🙏 (at least optionally for the guests, if they're up for it of course)

Fantastic guest! 15 years to build COBE, 25 years to build JWST, hope the star shade is a bit quicker than that 🙂

It is just wonderful we can document Dr. Mather's thoughts and experiences. Thanks Fraser.

If I had worked as long as he did on the Webb, I would've needed to be heavily sedated during its launch and subsequent deployment.

What an absolute badass human! I’m so incredibly thankful the universe produces people like him. Great interview Fraser!

Thank you for these great interviews, Fraser, I am loving it

Astonishing tech. So good to hear this story. Lovely.

These streams are what put me to bed at night. Keeps the mind busy and poof, space dreams. Thanks Fraiser.

That star shade idea really sounds next-level. Love the way it is an add on to ELT (or any telescope for that matter).

Wonderful interview, thanks Fraser

Fascinating thank you

Fraser, future video idea, can you do a comprehensive review of Star Link (especially with use from North America)... if you have already done one and i missed it, i would love the link. It also is in the news lately because of the war in Europe right now.

Amazing interview!!

This stuff is so mind blowing no matter how much I learn and how often I hear it.

Lovely. Thank you.

UNDERRATED INTERVIEW!

Fraser, once again a fantastic interview. While listening to all of the fascinating things JWST will allow us to do it reminded me of an infuriating argument a friend of mine makes when discussing astrophysics; his conjecture is that we have no way of knowing the physics of our solar system/ galaxy is the same as the physics in other systems or galaxies and therfore the observations we make are pure speculation when it comes to chemical makeup, distance (when based on luminosity), and longevity. What argument would you make to try and convince a listener that chemistry and physics seems to be ubiquitous across the universe?
