Richard Dawkins - CHRISTMAS LECTURES 1991 - Growing up in the Universe 

I'm sure whoever it is would say I WAS A BABY I DONT REMEMBER YOU MORONS!!!lol

I got you, fam. “Ma. Ma. Goo. Aghhhh. Eh.”

anyone saw cosmos possible world.. in the last episode Neil deGrasse Tyson holds a baby and tells it stories of the Cosmos..... i wonder what these two baby thinks about their childhood

30 years old and counting

Too much clapping, not baby-centric, no puppets, I liked the talky guy's shirt. Personally, I think 0-24 months is too young to really understand a Dawkins lecture.

Go to the Ri Channel and you can watch all of them.....including Faraday's (I lie)

NOW you tell me!?

@@jimadamson8563No. They told you ten years ago….

@Swipei Kool I was going to say the same. Videos are a way to look at the past in the present

Wouldn't happen now, because the theists and postmodern anti-science brigade have hijacked the public sphere of discourse to recast Dawkins as a villain.

The music is loud, the voice is silent - why?

Same. I felt like the kids knew how special the lectures were because you could see how captivated some of them were but were just not part of that culture of giving standing ovations. Amazingly done by Dr Dawkins 🙌🏾 I wasn't born when these lectures were given, but I'm glad I found them too.

i'll probably give him a standing ovation alone in my room at the end of the series lol the man has that effect on me he is one of the most talented orators i know and when he speaks of things he is passionate about he is mesmerising. the only speaker who is clearly even more gifted is hitchens, the guy could get a standing ovation from me after reading the notice in a box of pills

Now you mention it....yes

Very true, his age has caught up with him these days though 😅😅😬😬😬. Although it makes a lot of sense, after all he is really getting old these days. If he was 50 here in 1991,;that would mean he is 80 now, or perhaps , 79 if he hadn't had his birthday yet. But he still kicking and active today, still giving lectures and going on podcasts. He recently went on Neil DeGrasse Tyson's podcast, "Star Talk," which is definitely one of my favorite podcasts, other than Joe Rogan's podcast. I like them for different reasons, I mean I love when Joe brings in scientists

Must have good genes!

Haha, well, of course he has a lot of connections in the industry

​@@daveboyd2271lol

So he failed. He wanted you to get a crush on science.

it feels like they think they are in Church... and dare not to breath more it might be vanity to do so..

Karl Bridge he still should suffocate the baby regardless, along with the inconsiderate mother. If u want a baby in the show, put it in a sound proof cage and leave it until ready for the show

Karl Bridge Why not keep the baby in the back until needed like other prop's.Fcuking ruined it all.

You must be dad!

@@sultanumer590 - You miss Faraday's point entirely. The Royal Institution Lectures aren't supposed to be super-slick media presentations for smartarse twenty-something dickheads who spend their time playing online computer games. They're pitched at school children who like asking questions. They're also for people who aren't afraid to be left alone with their own thoughts and who aren't put off by distractions and who don't have the attention-span of a gnat; they're about content, not packaging. If they were presented from America there'd probably be teams of experts grooming the presenters on their 'people skills'; there'd be no children in the audience; there'd be flashy graphics and glossy props and all kinds of stage-managed distractions. Oh, and wall-to-wall US flags. I'm delighted that people like you disapprove of the ancient format. It shows that it's still doing things right.

If it were a Creationist lecture, it would have taken a few minutes. "The Bible says god created all animals in current forms. The end. What, you don't believe me? You are going to hell. "

This was broadcast on television and VCRs existed. Give your head a wobble...

I'd rather see it as a car driver who's view through the windshield is obscured by BS or IS (Insect Sh!t) and he has to switch on the wipers.

This is also a thing in finnish! The american billion in finnish is miljardi, and trillion is biljoona. It's quite weird haha

yes, wanted to say the same thing..He was wrong, I guess. But that's okay

Jose Gabriel Egas Ortuño what he meant is NOW, we've only been "sending" "messages(TV broadcasts, radio frequencies, etc)" for a very short amount of time in the cosmological terms, it won't even reach the far side of our own galaxy. For many worlds out there, there are not receiving our signals NOW but those of our ancient world in different times depending on the distance between us.

Luis Garcia Sorry, I'm not in this field, but I thought that was going to happen sometime in the future? That it would keep increasing in size and Ultimatwly devour our planet.

@@vaibhavbhatnagar9188 I'm not in that field either but this is not about stars so we don't need to focus on that point.

Yeah right. Those are the best ones
