The history of our world in 18 minutes | David Christian | TED 

Yeah, he was my professor too. He failed me and I was expelled from school. Then I had to work at McDonald's. One day both my arms fell into the fry bin. Now I can even work at McDonald's! I have to type this out with my nose. Thanks professor.

Can't (=cannot)

ANALYSE THIS IN YOUR ANALYTICAL CRITICAL THINKING: MESSAGE TO THE AGENDA!!! STOP BEAMING MICHAEL J FOX... OR ELSE!!!! SAY NO TO BEAMED2FVCK SYNDROME NOW!!!

We don't afford these proffesors lecture,,,,, just bcz yutube we can hear it a little... so thank u...

Mike Llerena Amazing how time flies by

you made a valid point mentioning the proper amount of time

Or we have forgotten!

Share what we learned that will be the day

@Douglas Bull >> Einstein's comment. But I prefer another of his: "You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it."

@Douglas Bull It's called a strong delusion and it is described in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, verse 11. I highly recommend you read the chapter in its entirety. Blessings to you!

hahah

lol

You are the pinnacle of evolution, William.

Couldn’t make it up if you tried!

I was literally reaching into a bag of Chips Ahoy! when i read this comment! Freaky.

Its terrible and science unworthy. He explains things with: ‘because of magic’.

Linda Westbrook In the Middle East. c. 855 CE, caliph al-Mutawakkil slaughtered the Arab intelligencia and, pretty much single-handedly ended the Arabic golden age. Islam has contributed almost nothing to science since that time. All fundamentalist religions are responsible for retarding our development.

Scary how minds of beings similar to you and I are being ruled by a tithe of emotions. Big history = big history.

Why ?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give it 5 billion years more

Dang mate/bro, you have 69 likes...... be proud of yourself

Lolololollllll

Yoooo is this a reference to that video I can vaguely recall. I gotta go search for that now!

He is waste fello

You are so pretty, honey.

His speech is just a theory. In fact there are more dimensions. Please read the work of the Noble price winner in physics, Richard Feynman.

A lot of theories communicated like if they were absolute truth.

So passionately delusional that he believes himself

What did you learn ?

Do you have great cousins?

Dear brother, you didn't lose your way :) Since puberty, till our frontal lobe finishes Its development (around your age, more or less), we all face one storm after the other inside our beings. Latch on into your love of science. If you become a scientist, great! If you don't, no problem. Even being a "regular" piece in today's society machine, staying in touch with science has the potential of expanding your consciousness and raising your awareness at a level that your ideas, choices, and behavior change. And this is how the world changes. Peace

Tariq Khan, youre only 23, you havent developed "a way" to lose yet.

Modern science is just recycled ancient science. Look into to the Sumerians (first civilization), how they explain how they learned science... Ancient Kemet, Holy Scriptures that introduce a lot of scientific facts first. Be blessed

A good teacher in the early days of a human can make him fall in love with any subject and it stays for the rest of ur life just like u never stop loving ur first girlfriend

@@augustinekt9304 You are a glowing example of the idiocy of organized religion.

Is he crazy or what??? No, I mean he IS a deranged lunatic. Read the Bible, stupid. Go to YOUR roots, David, go to your surname heritage.

Here is the rebuttal of it, you might enjoy it too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-db2DzHLUfwc.html

Are you the guy with fitness channel?

Yet he missed the point that complexity is due to the presence of sentient life. Remove life altogether and there's nothing to resist the influence of the second law of thermodynamics. Trust a scientist to make it more complicated that it really is.

i disagree

@@muddypool7537 Then somehow you missed his whole point, which was the emergence of complexity via the appearance of Life and 'transmitted' information, and just how _fragile_ the conditions are for it to exist in the first place.

Or madness

What’s truly extraordinary is that nothing created something that is so complex that man can’t replicate it and to top it all off it’s all random, or meaningless.

He never did tell us which came first, the chicken or the egg?

It's his accent, just like David Attenborough's

@@killme6929 eggs 😂😂

That's already what it is....an act

Seriously.

So stupid! So dumb! So a BIG lies!

Then you'd be a plagiarizing busker. At least you would be helping spread information. You could also give credit where credit is due... at the end...?

*launch the nukes*

And such is the human way.

Indeed I'm not sure I'd like to support the next step of acquired complexity in the body of a unified, highly complex collective intelligence where humans are the bricks of it. I rather see such an evolved entity emerging from interconnected pure information elaborators... Humans were fit to create the conditions, now others will take over. A great catastrophe like the Yucatan asteroid may stimulate this process. Obviously as a dinosaur wouldn't love to see itself becoming a bird for the sake of human evolution, we may not desire to see nukes triggering the development of a higher level of complexity. But the question is: is that a law inscribed in the physics as the second principle? Is that somehow probable that complexity should arise (with low frequency of course) in the universe ? On Earth this may not happen but can we imagine that this events as infrequent as they are somewhere will necessary occur ? Yeah "lunch the bomb, exterminate them all" to favour inscribed evolution... May be!

Not sure how sincere your reply is, but it comes across as very dower and somewhat defeated. Humans have a great vulnerability but we also have the capacity for miraculous achievements. Science says we are but a step along the journey of evolution, faith says that evolution is worth heading towards.Even though society today seems completely backward, don't blind yourself to the fact that recently more and more people are speaking up and out about how we move forward. Let's save the nukes until that complexity doesn't require use to erased as part of the process.

that may be the best reply ive ever read to any video ever

Wow! How did it go? I am sincerely asking as a freshman of translation and interpreting studies :D

Its terrible and science unworthy. He explains things with: ‘because of magic’.

@@Esico6 like religion right?

And that it all supposedly happened, perfectly, by chance. That Life was not intentional, but rather a cosmic fluke...

@@classicrocklover5615 exactly. Love how he flies right past the most important point......that all this unbelievable complexity came from nothing at all.....and how many of the ppl watching are so enamored by his presentation they don't even notice he's completely full of bs

@@classicrocklover5615 The universe is neither perfect nor by pure chance. Randomness requires determinism as they are 2 sides of the same coin. If you think your mind/thinking is separate from your brain, you may think that action in the world is separate from its' object.

Read Bible, you'll understand everything. Jesus is Coming Soon

I encourage you to look at conway’s game of life and consider these questions!

Arben P. Susaj Nothing in science is proven except for mathematical proofs. Everything else in science is theory. Light is a theory. Atoms are theory. Gravity is a theory. Thermodynamics is theory. Everything in science other than math proofs can be proven wrong at any time if the right evidence is found.

sexyloser You seem to have a little confusion about scientific method. Theories are inductive, and can only be provisionally right. See Hume's comments on induction, and the fact that we are unsure about basic assumptions. Falsification, the disproof of theories, is not inductive, it's deductive, and is as sure as mathematics.

gamesbok Yes, we can and have proven things to be wrong in science. We can never prove what is right in science, unless it is a mathematical proof.

sexyloser Young theories, contentious amongst the scientific community and academia, are "established science" ?... It's funny how some people crave certainty about concepts beyond their understanding. PS: I'm not religious at all, but I disagree with you. #DFTBA

Alex Delarge Being established science does not mean it is certain. It means it is the best supported theory that we currently have. Like I said, nothing is certain in science except math and what has been proven wrong.

Hello Randy 👋👋 How are you doing and how's the weather condition over there ??

Is he crazy or what??? No, I mean he IS a deranged lunatic. Read the Bible, stupid. Go to YOUR roots, David, go to your surname heritage.

Actually it is under obligation to do so. The Universe is based on the laws of physics and therefore must follow a line of reasoning that considers all aspects of science. This explanation failed that line of reasoning every time the author claims something happened that can't possibly be reproduced in a lab, which, in all vagueness is most of it.

OneShot AtLyf bless u

@Ron "Actually it is under obligation..." No. It's not, and that sentence doesn't even make sense. "The Universe is based on the laws of physics..." No. It's not. The "laws" you speak of are based on observation of the Universe, it's not the other way around. And they aren't even really laws, they're just finely honed predictions. That CAN fail, and then...get improved. To be even more clear, I'm not correcting you because I think you're stupid, it's because you are either deluded by some cult...or dishonest. Because there are people who profit from deluding others. Naturally, any scientist would be seen as an "enemy" by such people.

Reese Torwad u right

Then why did you watch this????

same here, and I am blown away that this only has 4.5M views not 4.5B if only the rest of the world would take interest and pride in the history of the universe. I do believe that we will soon push the planet to far to a "threshold" as David said, and it will change its own conditions to make it unlivable for the human race ;(

This Isn’t possible, in you’re very beginning illustration you clearly demonstrated cannot get order out of chaos here it is impossible!

you gotta have a lot of faith to believe this

In Spanish there is a slang term roughly pronounced "tokayo" it means person of the same name. I got to meet my tokayo at the end of the video. Cool.

@@lfidarraga Yup, case in point: Could the Big Bang Be Wrong? www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/could-the-big-bang-be-wrong

The world didn’t believe the world was round until Christopher Columbus yet the Bible stated that fact thousands of years before Columbus was born. Case in point about collective knowledge.

Hi 👋

God’s foolishness is man’s wisdom

@@killme6929 Only according to "St. Paul" can God ever be "foolish". It was his way of defending his nonsensical lies he was spreading about Jesus, and unfortunately he was successful; hundreds of millions have followed HIM rather than Jesus, and believed his blatant lies to be "the holy truth from God".

Its terrible and science unworthy. He explains things with: ‘because of magic’.

This man has more faith than any Christian I have met.

Depends on what you view as a crucial question Can you tell us what it means to you?

Well said

And.....?

@@nikkorocksalot5254 Well, the one being, to me, if we assume that at the point of Big Bang everything was spread (or condensed) evenly, and entropy works as assumed, why should there develop these clusters of slightly denser concentrations auf helium and hydrogen? Like, if you soluted alt in hot water, you wouldn't expect to see clusters of slightly higher concentrations of salt just randomly, I assume? And secondly, always more curiously to me, is the step from quite complex chemical compounds to hypercomlex chemical compounds that somehow have the ability to reproduce their own design. I mean, just - how? David Christian, in his narrative, puts it like, "Well how do you do this?" or "How do you accomplish that step?", and most interestingly, at 10:20 "Well, it's here that life introduces an entirely new trick" [referring to the spawn of DNA], which is A) like assuming that some entity outside the process oversees the process, and B) that consciousness ("life") exists even before the material that we assume generates consciousness (DNA, or life) existed. Personally, I tend to believe that the step from unconscious matter to "self-conscious" matter, in that it can reproduce and therefore to a minimal extend at least recognize itself or its own structure, is not explicable without any idea of a higher consciousness, or an entity outside the process overseeing, or at least enabling the process. Now, that is my personal assumption, and I am aware that other assumptions are equally valid, but to me at least this is the huge question. Just the how did it go from lifeless to life?

He goes "....and bangggg, we have a Universe!" . That's fine but he should have made it clear that we actually don't know what happened at that point. That's nothing to be embarrassed about . Science is not religion.

Hey I really like your profile picture and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your post could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.

I agree wholeheartedly, AlmostEthical. I don't remember him mentioning prokaryotes-to-eukaryotes either, FWIW. I personally feel the video amounts to "preaching to the choir". There's nothing here to convince anyone of anything, it is "merely" a highly-informative (and perhaps inspirational?) presentation.
