I'm one of the few people that had the privilege of attending this magical wonderful event! All the lecturers were absolutely brilliant and to my pleasant surprise extremely humble. Dear Lawrence, I will forever be grateful to you for signing your book to my 10 year old son Sergei!
You haven't listened to enough intellectuals. Madiba would have hated him. He's a fascist and we don't do fascist. Much love and appreciation from Ireland 🇮🇪💚🌈 My intellectual hero stood guard of honour at the burial of one of my icons Nelson Mandela (Americans won't know who Madiba is ), Jerry Adams Ma-di-ba The legend lives whilst I breathe. Ireland unfree shall never be at peace 😭
Hi Lawrence. I'm listening to your podcast on Spotify, but I thought I would come over here so I can just say thank you. Thank you so much. The fact that I, a 42 year old roofer in New Zealand can listen to yourself, and all the amazing people you have on your podcast, and hear all these amazing conversations... Words fail me. I'm so grateful. Thank you.
@@TheOriginsPodcast Krauss, the con man. Writes a book, A Universe From Nothing that is not nothing, but something, and that something has space, matter, and time ALREADY there but to his deceiving ways, that's somehow a scientific nothing. He's so full it, he said..."The universe is huge and old and rare things happen all the time, including life." Wow, NO evidence again. How people take this con man seriously is beyond me.
@@reversefulfillment9189 Krauss' papers can get wet; they don't have science. It would save a lot of paper too, like his book A Universe From Nothing, that wasn't nothing, it was something there already he likes to call nothing so he sounds smart and scientific.
@@2fast2block The nothing in krauss book was a sarcastic piss take on the bibles god made everything from nothing. A response to the big bang name originally being a piss take of science from theist. Just reclaimed! But you know this as multiple people have explained it and I have dozens of times to you over the years. Yet here you are still trolling lies. Lies to protect your myths and fables my fellow ape.
I am forever happy that I saw the American movie of Hitchiker's Guide before I read the books. When I read that book now I basically hear Mos Def's voice as Prefect Ford instead of a british dude. And I hear Martin Freeman's voice as Arthur. Such a great event of fortuitous randomness considering how much I love classic hiphop.
Every lecture by Lawrence Krauss is an absolute gift. I listen to the same lectures many times in a vain effort to better glimpse the range and dimensions of his understanding. I'd love to one day be able to come see him in person, perhaps even shake his hand in gratitude for shining light into areas of my earthly experience which would otherwise have remained unknown. Lets hope he tours Europe soon.
Wow! As someone who wants to become a Quantum Physicsist, this lecture was truly amazing! I can't wait to read the book! Thank you, Professor Krauss! What a lecture it was!
Yeah, become like he did, this way you can make up anything you want too. You can call something nothing and then just say but it's a scientific nothing. Yep, no thinking involved, just deceive all you want.
@@2fast2blockYou don't provide anything in the comments section. Completely vacuous - but luckily for you, Dr. Krauss has helped to prove that a vacuum isn't *completely* empty.
I have actually been thinking "But aren't we just a product of the Universe? We are fine tuned to it not the other way around right?" for many years. Thank you for the eloquent explanation!
Life is Not inherent in mechanistic ⚛️ atoms and lifeless molecules. Nor will Life emerge from random chance. Therefore, we humans are not a mere "product of the universe ".
This would touch on the idea of Logos. The ground that supports our scienctific assumptions. Einstein looked up to Godel who has his famous incompleteness thereoms. Which point to something like that.
You're senseless like Krauss. He never explained a universe from nothing, he just changed the definition of nothing to suit him. Then from there it got worse for him. Oh, let's not forget his..."The universe is huge and old and rare things happen all the time, including life." No, life only comes from life, no matter how people like Krauss say otherwise with NO evidence.
Great mind. Wish he would talk about many subjects, nutrition, politics, law. environment. Natural intelligence and logic is the only qualification one needs.
I'm incredibly grateful to both of my parents for modelling to me that it's not at all a big deal to not know something, and actually a far bigger deal to pretend to know something when you don't, especially the things no one has the answer to.
Legend in the making! Thank you Lawrence for sharing your insights and knowledge. Your a great public communicator of science and i hope you have inspired the younger theoretical physicists and scientists from all areas to follow in your foot steps. We dont get much time, let nothing we do be in vain.
The internet is amazing if used correctly at its best, I often listen to some of the smartest, experts like Lawrence talk about cutting edge subjects 9n their fields and it's a total privilege to be able to do that. It wasn't too long ago that to here these people speak it would take you getting into a top university or travelling a long way to hear such minds, I'm truly thankful To hear experts give public lectures and talk candidly about their subject, it's just great.
One of my favourite demonstrations to explain how a constant speed of light can cause two observers to see things in a different order, that is really easy to understand is this: You get two people to stand an equal distance from you, but have them stood so they are 90 degrees apart if you are at the centre of a circle. You represent the centre of the galaxy, you hold two balls representing stars. You then hold your arms out pointing at each person, then drop the two balls at the same time representing them going Supernova. You then ask them, from their perspective which ball would have gone supernova first. Obviously, it would be the one you were holding out towards them. Despite both going supernova at the same time, over such great distances, the speed of light makes time very subjective.
I began my physics studies at UCLA in 1964 with "texts' being Feynman's Lectures in Physics delivered when he was at CalTech. Within 3 yrs, I was simulating the ammonia molecule's Schrodinger's Equations, Fortran programming it's computations. I was working on terminals next to early speech synthesizing and biomechanial models. Upstairs they were testing the first nuclear magnetic resonators used in today's MRI. Most of what's changed since then is that Americans get MBA and medical degrees, not in the physical sciences or even economics anymore. We live off our past achievements and foreign students in our grad programs.
You are by far the person I quote the most , so much information that is so enlightening and still manage to continue delivering new and exciting perspectives and theories. ( I also quote Harris, Dawkins, Dennet , ok sometimes Tyson) . Can't wait to read the new book! Please keep doing this, you have a lot of people who still need to be enlightened. Thanks for all you do!
@@TheOriginsPodcast Krauss, the con man. Starting with space, matter, and time already there and calling it nothing. And why not, your dishonesty is all ok with you, "The universe is huge and old and rare things happen all the time, including life." Forget that life only comes from life, you can make up anything you want, you're Lawrence Krauss the con man.
Lawrence Krauss is such a pleasure to listen to. I love his "I don't know" attitude, just like feynman had. Only zealots think they know all. Good scientists are very well aware they don't know a lot.
2 / 2 I received my first wireless remote clicker for my PowerPoint presentations as far back as 2002. Might I suggest providing one for your guest speakers? This would save them the trouble of repeatedly asking to advance to the next slide. After all, with the advances in AGI these days, such accommodations should be relatively easy to implement.
Dr. Krauss, you are an amazing thinker and an inspiration to the world. The wonder of science is that everything has not been answered yet. As Newton put it, he was just collecting some pebbles on the shore when an entire ocean of knowledge had yet to be explored.
Quite dishonest and unintelligent imo. The majority of science in the US serves military purposes and is antipathetic to the often repeated myth that there is a scientific community centred on notions of questioning, openness, transparency, and sharing. The constructed histories of science are criminally false, and the biological sciences are founded on falsehoods. Krauss's theory that reality came from nothing is laughably ridiculous.
Yes Lawrence Krauss! We should learn by formulating good questions not by learning prefabricated answers. By the way I didn't understand why time is not universal ?!...however I am convinced that the main caracteristique of the concept of time is irreversible since I have lost my parents forever and never again, because they have been died
I was on a Swiss train and there was an announcement, in multiple languages, apologizing for running _two minutes_ late. In most countries you wouldn't even notice.
There's always been a level of pomposity occupying Krauss's remarks, and he never misses the chance to inject his political opinions into his talks. It' makes listening to him tough.
if you have listened to more than 1 of his lectures, you would understand. most people who attend lectures, whatever they may be about, are typically like-minded, so there isn't an issue. this isn't a debate. I would much rather listen to someone who doesn't just speak factually and attempts to throw in some humor. everybody has a different sense of humor. it landed for me, but clearly missed for you. and guess what, that's ok. don't be offended, your feelings don't matter when it comes to humor. look up ricky gervais...
Very interesting , and we'll delivered.........certainly a lot to think about and question, ... Which I guess is the whole idea. Keep asking the question to gain a greater knowledge.
Thorouhly interesting point about protozoa and neurons. It certainly got me thinking. Bertrand Russell was quite a thinker, and the right kind of atheist.
I hope the irony of TS Elliot's anti-Semitism isn't lost on Krauss, who is Jewish (culturally, not religiously, of course). To quote Elliot: "What is still more important [than cultural homogeneity] is unity of religious background, and reasons of race and religion combine to make any large number of free-thinking Jews undesirable." Krauss is exactly the kind of 'free-thinking Jew' that Elliot despised.
@@aaabbb-py5xd luck wasn't involved. the great thing about being english is although we hate the welsh, scots and irish, we all dislike the rest of the world more.

If i turn a laser pointer on, the beam of light is practically instant. What is at the head of the beam of light? Does the beam of light push particles ahead of it so not only is the beam going at the speed of light but also the particles that are in front of it? Podcasts like this really get me thinking about odd things 😂
Lawrence's talks are always pleasant the listen to. It struck me as strange He rightly laughs at the religious myths but then go's on to believe the Swiss train myth both do not stand up to close scrutiny.
You're correct. The universe, as far as we understand it, doesn't have a purpose or intention to make humans happy. It's a vast and complex system governed by natural laws and processes.
"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the Universe.” "If your goal was to create human life, you must first invent the Universe.” These statements are equivalent; this talk accepts the first but rejects the second. You can’t prove the Universe was made for humans, or life in general. But if that WERE, in fact, the intended goal, then you would need the entire Universe (or Multiverse, if such a thing exists) to accomplish this goal. Fine-tuning cannot be demonstrated (we don’t have enough information to develop Bayesian priors for such a question), but you cannot simply rule it out because we’ve discovered all these other variables.
My thinking is that if you can travel through time. We would be stuck only being able to go forward as with the arrow of time. This could be nature's way of preventing paradox.
if intelligent life is eternally recurrent, then it means that its most likely related to understanding and answering certain question in kosmos building.
Consciousness: is the ability to conduct evolutionary (computation) experimentation and learning on oneself. By this definition it can be traced back over the evolutionary tape to its biological origin. (debate on this would take you into the evolutionary computations of human and animal brain).
This is why we have drag queen story hour! Drag queen story hour is a big distraction from the garabage such as this being taught in school. Holy shit 😮
Well, well ... before hearing the phrase 'the known unknowns' from anyone else for the first time today, I have said it myself countless times in my conversations with friends!
That's an awesome first slide. Love being mesmerized by traveling along fields as well as magnets, not to mention always being fascinated with UFO'S...not to mention the force, since I chose to walk the path of a Djedi when I was young, at the age of a child, told others I know it's true, nobody believed me, n perhaps that's why they weren't able to tap into their abilities like I was. Perhaps tapping into what was really going on, reason that I had that an extra sensory ability, such as the tingle from Spiderman...and used it to help others and do my best not to take advantage of it in a harmful way
Loved it! ❤ But here's a further suggestion. Perhaps you can do a shorter version of it in a studio environment by speaking more quietly and clicking to the slides as and when you needed them. Best wishes from a fan❤
Most of if the universe may be inhospitable because we were not created to live in most of the universe. There may be other life forms in different parts of the universe. I believe everything is conscious
Lawrence, tell us more about quintessence. We are a five-bit intelligent life form in a three-bit universe., (Referencing information theory, not relativity)
Who says that Britain doesn't have a sense of humor...compared to Rumsfeld's knowledge, it's outstanding! Love the way y'all btw!!! Just wish there was a translation somewhere of what it actually meant...perhaps one day it'll be passed down to the US via time travel in the future...so we don't have total look of a tosser when y'all call us one. Or was that the point all along?!? Oh you guys!!!(Slough voice from The Goonies:)
30:25 secs, but what then of intelligent deisgn in the Kosmos. There was an origination to the kosmos itself, and the multiverse. It means that indeed there was intelligent design to the structure of kosmoses, since eventually intelligent life will recognize this aspect of freely given existence... which is recurrent.. possibly.
"Much of the current culture wars and everything else would disappear if people weren't so certain that they (thinly veiled jab a Abrahamic religion in 3..2..1) know the truth before you even ask the questions." 👏😏👍
@@HarryNicNicholas secular scientists do Not know the source and origin of Life and Consciousness. Two Major Fundamental GAPS. Life is Not inherent in mechanistic ⚛️ atoms and lifeless molecules.
"Consciousness is the singular of which the plural is unknown" - great quote by Schrodinger, but - I would put forth the idea that perhaps we DO now the plural of consciousness (or we could), and that the plural of consciousness is... GOD. There, I said it.
So, Larry, is that where you wrote your monthly Scientific American article? I had a subhscription in 1975 and into 2015, and Sagaa's The Planetary7u Society as well. Something after was weekly Science mag from AAAS too.
The way to get these accurate definitions, for getting to the most accurate way of modelling everything, including life, consciousness, etc, is by first understanding how the Grand Unified Theory-Classical Physics was derived, by first being initiated by Hermann Haus and his student in Haus ' post grad courses in electronic engineering at MIT in 1986, Randell Mills. Yes that same Mills, whose company, Brilliant Light and Power is being maligned on Wikipedia. Someone is scared all to hell about what Mills has achieved.
If you would like to accept Jesus as your Savior, pray the following prayer: “Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.”
which could imply on a kosmic attractor, for a multiverse, that there is a shift towards existence over non existence... some sentience over complete lack of thinking...
We'll never know time travel is possible until its found out by ourselves. If we found a time traveller or someone said they have travelled back from the future before we knew it was possible, it'd be the end of society.
