Kent Presents please add the dates in the description box of your videos that the events took place. it is a pertinent piece of information. i am astounded by how many publishers of articles and videos don't add the date of publication. that little thing devalues the piece and the publisher. as i now watch this video i have to wonder is it 2010 or 2015 or yesterday that this talk took place and have to hope somewhere along the line the video itself will provide a clue and wonder are these Sean Carroll's latest thoughts on the subject or not.
Dear Dr. Sean Carrol, I love ALL your lectures and books. Not being a physicist, I have about the same opinions as you with respect to life, meaning of life, religion, consciousness and the many worlds view in quantum physics! As a retired molecular biologist, I love to study physics to fill up a large part of my remaining time! I am struggling with the problem that I cannot understand that I exist and can realize to be myself, a unique entity! Maybe I have trillions of equivalents in the parallel worlds, but as quantum mechanics demands, there is NO way they could ever communicate! How can it be that in an immense universe with quasi infinite size and diversity, a unique something (myself) that only occurs ONCE, could have happened? Did I win this lottery? Not possible! Just not to grasp for me! I would be delited to get your vision and comments on this matter! Many thanks
Again can someone please tell me where I can attend his lecture. It's not simply knowledge. It's intellectual ly entertaining. Some one please. Thank you from Canada.
29:00 He concluded with vapid philosophizing. Not his fault. Philosophy is lagging woefully behind science (thank you, academic philosophers, you are part of the problem) which is why the Philosophy of Broader Survival and Ultimate Morality was developed. Read it.
I do not know when this was actually recorded but it is definitely a reduced version of the lecture he gave at The Royal Institution last year. I you would like to watch that the link to it is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2JsKwyRFiYY.html
Thank you for the link up, Paul. I haven't been up on this one, due to personal circumstances beyond my immediate control impeding the usual and preferred reading / viewing habits I'm accustomed to -- I'm not a young guy and I'm feeling it a bit (happens to everyone fortunate enough to get this far); and, er... stuff happens as a consequence. So no opinions from my corner, yet; though I can see that this is a topic of longtime interest and concern. Thanks again.
