Prof. Brian Cox Explains Why Ghosts Aren't Real | Lorraine 

True science i hope. Not the usual BBC's promoting the Victorian primitive Darwinian fairy tale of "lightning striking some primordial goo creating life by chance" evolution bs myth.

like measles

@@Spyhook or VD

They just don't.

Learn Thermodynamics.

Reason is literally everything about ghosts😂

@@leewalters8972 play the ouija board, then tell me if they’re real or not.

@Amari02 All done with your own mind.

Fr

He said it perfectly. No. Ghosts aren't real. That's literally all there is to say on the subject. "We understand the science very well and no", that's what he said about ghosts. He was completely accurate.

@@trafalgard.waterlaw7330 The original comment was more a dig at the clip's misleading clickbait title, not Brian Cox`s answer. The poster is expressing his annoyance at how the title has nothing to do with the content of the video as has become the norm on YT. When you have a title like "Scientist explains why ghosts aren't real", you expect more than just Q: "Are ghosts real?" A: "No."

And how is this guy the end all next all of answers to the universe? 😂😂 He speaks calmly and directly so you want to believe what he’s saying - but He’s wrong - very wrong!!

Can't prove a negative

@@RS-ep8dm And of course, YOU are the be-all and end-all of enlightenment, right ? I tell you what, why don't you find somewhere very high, and jump ? Then, you can come back and haunt us all, and prove that you are right, and not a complete moron. Death is the end, and you ain't coming back, pal. Not as a ghost, a spirit, or whatever, you're gone for good.

90% Definitely not even remotely close

They were on earth for like probably 1% of earths existence. There’s a figure that says that if the universe was put on a calendar year earth and the sun came in September and the dinosaurs existed for a weekend late in December. And we’re the the last second of December 31st

What unfinished business would they have😂😂. Love this comment

The dinosaurs were alive for about 177 million years, if you include birds for about 243. That is between 3.8% and 5.3% the age of the earth and only about a percent more for the history of life.

Where did you get this number 90%? Off the internet?

I will explain. When you die your organs heart and brain shuts down then rots away. All is left is skeletal remains. Logistics by that information proves ghost do definitely not exist.

Adults with a brain shouldnt need that explained

@@arsiejackson2958 unfortunately looks like some adults do. I explained this to one of these ghost hunters who told me he has a loads of evidence they exist. Never heard of a spirits soul he told me. Some people ignore logistic evidence.

​@@arsiejackson2958pretty much

He does not know?

He doesn't use his brain enough to know that you cannot prove a negative

All left brain no right brain.

Video or pics, or it didn't happen.

@@jdtown6585 😂 it was 1999 and I was 17. None of us had camera phones back then sorry

@@rivierapalms6485 weird how now even with capabilities we don't see provable demonstrable evidence of these things.

I saw a ghost in 2006. I was 16 at my friends house. I never believed in ghosts. I’ve never been to church. My friend and I are 34 years old now and we still get hives when we reflect back on it. It was absolutely terrifying as teenage girls, but as woman we are quite fascinated.

@@Moondancin sounds very similar to my experience. I was 17. Never really believed in ghosts but were terrified by what we saw! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼

Actually that’s a pretty reasonable response

I like this reply. I follow science. But it should not always be leading

Great comment. When something seems so obviously impossible, I have to remind myself that particles “know” when they are observed. Then my brain melts and ghosts exist again.

Yes

There’s absolutely no reason and no possibility to believe in anything supernatural like ghosts. In every single investigation of ghosts, it’s been thoroughly debunked as nonsense. People make up imaginary claims because they’ve been deceived or they themselves are trying to fool you. Ghosts have yet to be proven to exists, so in a practical sense we can reasonably say they aren’t real. Especially when every investigation of supernatural activity has resulted in a debunking. Nobody has provided any evidence for anything supernatural, so the claims of them aren’t going to be believed. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If you have evidence that the laws of physics were momentarily suspended, then please provide them so we can investigate them. We don’t waste time on silly nonsensical magical claims because they fly in the face in everything that we understand about the natural world which has been rigorously analysed and peer reviewed, yet not one instance of the supernatural. Claims of the supernatural are as preposterous as saying that there are fairies in the bottom of the garden. I have an extraordinary high degree of certainty based on my understanding of the natural world that there very likely isn’t any fairy’s in the bottom of the garden.

So if it's cloudy, do they all run off in different directions?

The chances, purely on probability, that we're alone in the universe is as good as zero.

​@@one4320 So you seriously believe either God or The Big Bang and evolution didn't create another lifeform? They don't even have to be humanoid, they can be bacteria, viruses and other microscopic organisms

Considering the age of the universe roughly 4+ billion years, and the amount of galaxies with earth like planets, ot would be naive to believe that we are alone in the universe. But here is a question for you, since man arrived as we know humans 300.000 years ago, how come that every square inch of the planet is haunted? Considering that billions of people have died in 300.000 years?

Even fake stuff?

That era finished 20 years ago..

@@jamespea76 Says you lol.

It's nearing the end of our existence if we still continue living the way we did but I pretty much agree with what you said.

​@jamespea76 we really aren't..our children are growing up in terrible times

​​@spaceghetti4832 we are doomed. we ain't got long at all.we will have nobody to blame but ourselves.

there isnt a planet where a plant from earth would be able to live, plants need oxygen, moisture in the earth and lots of other things unfortunately, otherwise this would def work ahahaha

The idea is called Panspermia. There are lots of papers and especially sci-fi books about it. Very interesting.

The thing that I think is cool when they talk about other "earthlike or super earth like" planets and they show a giant Earth with plants and stuff on them...even if there isn't any civilizations on that planet, I think it's cool just to know there are forests and trees and flowers growing with nothing to bother them. Species of plants we could never even imagine...and who knows...maybe ants and bees flying around...spiders hanging off a bush...idk... just an idea I've always enjoyed thinking about.

@@TheOtherSenpaithere is potentially infinite planets where this could happen , however we’ve yet to discover any yet.

​@@TheOtherSenpaiplants needs carbon dioxide2 , animals need oxygen

Why would there be ghosts tho

He does, study physics and you will see why.

😂😂😂😂

They don’t exist. There is no evidence whatsoever that they exist. There are plenty of hoaxes and misguided people who believe that they exist, but every time that they have been scientifically investigated, they have been shown to be a hoax.

Let me reassure you then. THEY DON'T

@@souradeepbera9712 thank you for saying that I don’t know why I believe in such nonsense I mean I have autism so I think that’s why

@@AlfieLarner18 nah autism isn't gonna stop you. You are powerfull. Just think you are the God. And anytime you get scared of ghosts just play some doom music and think you have superpowers and think you are just beating the sh** out of ugly looking ghosts .

No worries. They don't.

I just became a atheist only because I lack info when it comes 2 gods and etc. But 1 that has me think is when people say how was everything created most people say god but then it's like who created god. Never knew how mad people would get at me for saying that

​@@user-yo5eg2ym3d You have to understand that the belief in a god is something very personal. Obviously "god did it" doesn't explain anything but for many people it makes reality easier to digest. They are also often raised with this belief, making it a part of who they are. And when someone like you then starts asking smart questions they get defensive because it feels like a personal attack to them. In case you didn't already figured that out.

Evolution only explains biodiversity. The study of the origin of life is Abiogenesis.

@@user-yo5eg2ym3d No one did. God has always been.

@@uk8652 What do you mean with that last part?

and only a fool makes such a statement..

Yep…not to mention the overdone hand gestures

You just looked at your reflection mate

@@Powerbox1998 i did not ‘mate’ ! What we saw together that night having our supper was remarkable and true .im just telling of an experience i had years ago ….it was one of many ive had in a long life .

It was absolutely terrifying as teenage girls, but as woman we are quite fascinated. It’s interesting that you mentioned film. Because my friend and I could always only best describe the lady we saw as “distorted”. No identifying features apart from flowing hair and a dress.

Sounds like a dream to me

@@randomcomputer7248 uh huh...

😂

@@smpxix true buddy, more to it too, multiple people.

Does anyone really think that? Hmmmm?😅

Who said anything about that? Physics does cover a lot of how things in the universe work tho, that's literally what physics is.

I luv brain but he doesn't know everything even with his High IQ..& if you asked him he'd tell you straight I don't know everything

Yet I bet you can't give a single explanation can you?

@@BannanaBlue If you have to ask I bet you'll never understand

I suggest you read Luke 16:22 to the end of the chapter. I am sure the rich man thought as you do and found out he was wrong, too late.

Just because ghosts aren't real doesn't mean they don't exist.

​@@Priority76 😂

Explain how they are real?

The onus of proof is on you. You make the claim then you back it up with evidence.

@@naoidfpaiourej3299 Why do you need someone to prove it to you. Maybe those who know, can't be bothered trying to prove it. Yes, it means you won't take them or the subject seriously but then maybe that doesn't bother them? I know it doesn't bother me.

I'm just glad aliens stopped letting their wives drive.. we have enough flying discs crashed in the desert...

So, nothing more than wishful thinking on your part.

@@d.d.7720 I was going to give an actual reply but I can already tell you lack the ability to have an intelligent conversation.

@@SimplySammyK now where did u get that part from that we are a walking electromagnetic energy lol can you explain please because electromagnetic energies as much as I know are waves that contain equal stretches of electric and magnetic waves perpendicular to each other being perpendicular to their direction. I don't think humans fall in that category buddy . And don't worry I can have a civil argument with you all you want.

Kinda makes sense why we’re “fascinating to some aliens and hated by others “

@@d.d.7720 I don't see how it's "wishful thinking". Why would anyone want to be immortal, wandering around at night in spooky buildings, opening cupboards or knocking things over. Anyway I don't know why people chose to believe in ghosts, it's so juvenile.

ie ‘arrogant’ 🙄

Yea. Because he uses things like “facts”. How arrogant

Ghosts have been around as long as humans have existed, an idea that spans every culture across the globe. So either there is something going on there, or there are a lot of mentally unstable, delusional people on the planet.

@@austenpowers Remember when we thought the Earth was the centre of the universe and everything revolved around us? That was once considered a fact. It was also considered blasphemy by the Church to suggest otherwise. Galileo found this out the hard way. When he was excommunicated from the church and placed under house arrest for saying that maybe the Sun was the centre of our solar system and everything else went around the Sun. The Heliocentric model. Every idea and theory ever put forward is open to review, reworking and sometime being thrown out all together.

I forgot how many times these science communicators talked wrong about things outside of their field of expertise.

You sound like one of those… dumb… science bitches

That brilliant man is... yourself?

I mean, what it comes down to in the end is...who in their right mind would eat cereal in a car?

Your the reason we need do not drink labels on bleach

Shouldn't have eaten lead paint chips as a child either.

Why do they always lurk in the shadows? Why aren't they out and about and visibly clear to see or experience? It's always a shadow, or an orb, or some "mystery" element attached to it.

@@donnaw4249 They don't just decide to go on holiday like living people. Most of them are trapped here and drawn to dark locations or objects, they have an association with. 'Dark' as in dark energy, Orbs are bolts of energy and shadows are manifestations, so they can interact with the physical world.

Absolutely 💯 real👍

I agree with you, fair enough most people can't really understand but that's not to say just because THEY can't that their not real. I actually think that such people like that are quite ignorant because they are simply categorising everyone under the same umbrella and refuse to accept that there are some of us capable of seeing things that most people can't.

Prove it.

You're such a determent to actual people.

Ghosts aren't real. In fact, no super natural anything exists. If ghosts are real then the religious presect must be freaking out

Exactly

It's always easy to dismiss something you've not lived yourself.

I've experienced ghosts , and real ufo,s and big foot are on camera .

Nice movie

Everything these people do is blatantly misleading

Brian deals in facts not mumbo jumbo.

@@leewalters8972 Try reading what I wrote before trying to be clever.

@@MGBetts1 I'd rather ask the scientist.

So how are we to question supernatural things? Just believe what alleged ‘men of faith’ say? Just believe all the stupid videos & movies made with special effects? You know how utterly idiotic that sounds and IS? Serious question. Don’t just hide behind thousands of years of justifications & crap: all we’re asking for is definitive proof, however small, not hearsay elevated to dogma.

Who are the people to "ask about these things?" Who would you suggest are the qualified? Priests, clairvoyants? There is no evidence at all of spiritual existence! So who are these people?

Of course. Let’s go ask witch doctors and priests instead

​@@christopherhamilton3621 I'm arguing against the dogmatization of science. I said nothing about religious leaders or bibles, nothing like that. You're talking about movies and cgi and saying it's dumb as if it were me saying it. What are you asking?

@@michaelcollins4338 What exactly are you talking about? I'm arguing against you all desperately trying to get physicists to answer questions about spirituality as if they have any stance at all on it. You want them to be your priests of a new age pop science in the same exact priestly fashion as the ones you mock.

Romance is one thing but science isn’t bad. God is everywhere when you can’t understand science.

@@paulashe61 I'm willing to bet I understand math and science a helluva lot better than you do, and I believe in God Almighty. Next.

History of the sacred realm. So you mean imagination? Kids love it but mostly grow out of it. Some don't it seems.

He doesn’t know the “history of the sacred realm” because that isn’t a thing. As a professor, he deals with facts, not fiction.

@@MarkMutt93 It’s so cringeworthy! I believed in ghosts as a kid. I was even convinced that I saw some, and had paranormal encounters. Then again, as a kid, I also thought that I saw the tooth fairy’s footprints, believed in Santa Claus, and once thought I saw heaven while watching a beautiful sunset, and clouds that were shaped kind of like houses. But then I grew up, became interested in science and logic (and began striving to make sure that I am being as objective, scientific, and logical at all times), and finally understood that my previous encounters were due to a combination of what I had been raised to believe in, and my own imagination, rather than proof that any preternatural beings actually exist. It’s crazy just how many adults cannot separate pseudoscience from science, and myth from reality - and don’t even understand the difference between the two. It’s even scarier to think that these people vote. It’s a wonder that we’ve managed to get this far as a species.
