he's an esteemed professor, known as the man who killed pluto. as "techknow" on the road continues. >>> hey, welcome back to a special episode of techknow on the road here at caltech. i'm phil torres here with dr shini somara, and dr crystal dilworth. joining us is special guest dr mike brown. dr brown is a professor of planetary astronomy. he made many significant scientific discoveries, he's probably best known as the man who killed pluto. welcome to "techknow" dr brown, why did you do it? >> the obvious answer is did it have it coming. if it wasn't me someone else would do it. >> tell me the story. >> pluto never should have been called a planet. it was a mistake, just because everyone thought it was big when it was discovered, as big as june it ter and realised it was smaller and smaller. it is smaller than our moon. and there are thousands of other things out there just like it. >>> if pluto is not a planet, what is it? >> the official definition is work planet. which i like to think about things that look like planets. >> i love the story o

>> this is aeris, an object leading to the debate and demotion of pluto. it's one of these objects out there in the khyber belt. it's far away, three times further away than pluto, tilted at 45 degrees, compared to the planets in the solar system. it has a moon and surface covered in methane, nitrogen in the atmosphere. most was frozen on the surface because it's so far away. it's a fascinating world. i don't think the fact that it's a dwarf planet makes it interesting. >> it's impossible to imagine that we are the only life form on earth. do you ever think about it? >> i think about the question a lot. yoth the right question -- i don't think the right question is are there other life forms, the answer has to be yes. there's no way the universe can exist that we are the only intelligent life form. that's crazy. the important question is is it common or rare. are there intelligent life form at every star that we look at. where we look up in the sky, we are the only ones and we have to go to the next galaxy and the next galaxy, that's a question we have no

astronomers in spain believe that hiding behind pluto obscured from our view our two additional giant planets spanish scientists in madrid discovered the potential for the two massive celestial bodies at the outer reaches of our solar system after studying strange patterns in the orbit of rocky objects around pluto and putting the newly discovered wharf planet twenty twelve v.p. one one three scientists believe the first hidden world would be about ten times the mass of earth they believe that this planet is moving in resonance with a bigger planet that is somewhere between mars and jupiter in size and would orbit two hundred times the earth's distance from the sun but can we ever conclusively confirm the existence of these two planets while scott sheppard at the carnegie institution for science had this to say as there are only a few of these extremely distant objects known it's hard to say anything definitive about the number or location of any distant planets however in the near future we should have more objects to work with to help us determine the structure of the outer solar sy

we're now going to meet the guys from pluto department of the syrian army we have control issues with them and we told them that we want to go to yet tamil camp. and they invited us to see them before so this is what we're going to do you know i think it's better to go with the army but in terms of security i think. it's not better it's worse but in terms of access we can get the ground of course expensive and to be with the army the army means i suppose possible to the battleground so this one to go was afraid and if if you want to get a story and on the ground i mean you have to be ready for this kind of risk and we have to understand that we journalists we are lucky to have access to the ground and to see things how they are. but most of the people. they have a picture that television the media gives them which is you would agree like a little bit exaggerated sometimes it's a mess ok now we are going to go through one of many checkpoints in damascus you can ask us who we are and we don't have papers by the way right but we break many rules here to be honest including this one so ou

probe, my second favorite kind, is expected to leave our solar system after it finishes a study of plutoer the disney character. most importantly it will be for alien life forms. unlike the golden record in the 1970s, the new memo for martians will be a digital one called the one earth message. and come august scientists will be seeking ideas from people around the world on what it should say. here is the "red eye" submission for what we should sell -- tell extraterrestrials about earth. >> it is i and my queen rulers of earth. we come bearing this message. you[bleep] suck. we are the best that ever was. you cannot compete. others on this planet have tried and now they serve us. yes, here are our slaves. make flex on our command. show us your bicep. behold the awesomeness that is earth. gaze upon it in awe. a true lesson in perfection. look at it. look at it. but know this, space people. there is only one truth in the universe. >> wow. tell me when the cancer comes for you. >> i can't help it. >> i am not talking to you after that. >> the aliens will know who you are before everyone else

. >> well, pluto is not a planet any more, come on.at we fought for days over it. >> we asked have you ever defied the odds, or went against what people told you, first one from man feel, said it is important to do what you feel is right, there was a time when failure rates stopped me from trying things and eye realized -- i realized that not trying was 100% failure. and peg said i have made thousands while others are too scared to be in the market, tell me i can't and i will. >> jeremiah said broken pehl vision, two knee -- broken pelvis, and two knee surgeries, the doctor said i will never run again, now i power lift. he goes to colleges tells kids in college about they have the same thing, you ar are -- this n change. it is not written in stone. >> this is political, by telling people they can't do something it keeps them down, by keeping them there they are on the heel of the government. >> it socialism, i said it before, i will say it again, we're all going to be wearing gray, that is the goal without a individual thought. >> that

republicans, you say it's a double standard is guess what, the republicans are always seen as running up a pluto krat like romney. >> you are going to have someone with massive wealth like the clintons and you don't hear the press covering it the way that they did when it's a republican, even if it made it on his own not being an career politician. >> the republicans represent the rich. >> that's because the media builds that narrative. >> there's more money coming from the democrats for the campaigns. you have to remember this elect is historic. she could be america's first robot president. >> what do you mean by that? >> because what you just said from the book, it is so -- it's so sterile and it's so cold and the one thing that really bug me is how she -- how she criticized the bush doctrine in the book, while adopting almost every part of his foreign policy. i mean, they didn't get rid of drones. they just treated it like a new form of outreach. they still kept gitmo open. everything that worked under bush they kept. it's okay to use the bush doctrine unless bush is doing it. >> then you hav

one of the things that happened when they were coming down on bankers in the wilson years was the plutohearings looking into these money trusts. their conclusion in 1913 was there were few leaders of finance who controlled most of the concentration of wealth and credit in the country. does this sound familiar today? i think there is so much to be learned from this looking at it today. they did agree we have got to do something about not letting there be another crash like 1907. these two gentlemen were assigned to come up with a banking system of their own. this is the basic idea they put forward. there would be 12 regional banks. those were going to be owned by commercial banks. they would essentially make one central unit, but there would be no one central bank. they would be government controlled. it would be called the federal reserve board. the board of directors were appointed by the president. the bankers were actually running these 12 federal reserve banks, but they would be controlled by a board which included secretary of treasury, the comptroller of currency, and other public

see, that it has seen better days, as bob said, stuffing coming out of it, missing eye, nostril, but pluto, likes the string more than anything, her absolute favorite toy. probably not happen which me now that i stole it, but loves seeing the real thing in erika's story, beautiful day unfolding, can't get better than there is bright, sunny, comfortable humidity, a light north breeze, very light, enough, that it will make for just absolutely perfect hair day, ladies. and guys. why not? 84 degrees anacine, can't beat t79 tomorrow, flirt with 80 degrees, few more cloth overhead, not quite as warm. i do think we will be dodging shower or two along the way by sunday 82 under partly sunny sky so it is not as picturesque as recent weeks sends been, but not wash out. if you have outdoor plans, definitely keep them, bob? >> i have to get much fins here to take care of the play toy. >> i'm the only one with kids here. no dock mc stuff innings over here. live look at the blue route, 476, some sun glare. same deal here, along route 202, as you roll up through malvern. a lot of sun glare. light volume

of want to make sure -- pegasuses to you, that we learn the lessons of the pluto center. i remember when that opened. we sent the chief counsel from hours of committee down and had 5-year old soldiers in prison uniforms and conditions that were so egregious that eventually lawsuits were filed. we need to have facilities to accommodate the surge, but none of the less you do real learning lessons from the mistakes of command. >> family detention unit of detention. we are primed for 700 beds. we are aware of the requirements , which are fast. i mean, our family residential standards is a providence -- to a private boat. there are a lot of requirements that must be met. we have an entire team there to make sure that we address as many of those was necessary. >> the time as the gentleman has expired. chris thank you, mr. chairman. you are here, as i and the standard, representing the border agent spirit is that true? >> that's correct. >> and how many would that be? >> roughly 16,500. >> you were asked if the law unchanged. >> when it comes to the transportation of unaccompani

never seen it and i was reading on twitter the other day, though there is some sort of new beyond plutoody, the search for planet x goes on. relative to planet x's effects on the climate, i don't know. i'm not a planetary geologist. i'm not a soil scientist or anything like that. and it's funny you mentioned extraterrestrial intelligence, i remember once not too long ago i was talking to a gentleman, a astronomer at nasa and before i left the center that day i turned around and said look, for the record, nobody here has discovered aliens and not told me, right? and the gentleman folded his arms and looked at me and said, i'm not saying. officially, though, there's no record of extraterrestrial intelligence though nasa's astrophysicalics division will tell you they've got telescopes out there looking for signs. host: as far as where nasa is spread out, is it florida, texas, alabama are the main bases or are there other places as well? guest: you left out a very notable one in california. that's the jet propulsion laboratory. if you can remember all those pictures and videos of people cro
