Wow, yesterday we finally filmed our episode on Hawking radiation! With such a long buildup it feels amazing to have it shot and in the hands of Grayson (our animator). I should actually apologize to Grayson ... at over 1800 words, this is a monster of an episode. Even with that length we were forced to make some hard cuts in content. This episode will be highly theoretical, following Stephen Hawking's actual calculation. There'll be followup videos on the evaporation of real black holes, as well as the relationship to Unruh radiation, and then the information paradox.

If all goes well "The Origin of Hawking Radiation" (working title) should be out on March 14. I personally think it came out really well, and I hope you'll agree it was worth the wait.

> "Even with that length we were forced to make some hard cuts in content." Would it be possible to have a "Director's Cut", even without animations (or with unfinished ones, or simplistic ones), that includes all the content?

Oh man, I can't wait to not understand any of this.

Showing such dedication even knowing 50% of audience will not comprehend is worth praising

The director's cut will be in the form of followup episodes. The cuts were to the script, so they were never filmed.

Can you post the cut content as out takes for Patreon supporters?

Content was cut in the script, not the filmed episode. Part of the reason for the cut was that we realized we couldn't do that material justice by squeezing it into this one. It'll all go into future episodes!

Or, if that's too much, a release of the full and uncut script? We understand that putting these together takes a lot of time and that there are other topics to cover, but it would be interesting for us to see the entire original if we want.

Hopefully it will have more effort put into it than your "privatization of space" episode. It feels like it was slapped together in a few minutes without any research ahead of time. It's your worst video you've ever put up on the channel.

I hate to say it, but it was way, way down there. Oh well, do 150 videos and just about anyone will lay a few eggs along the way, even people like the host of a top 1% show like Space Time.
