They will have a job either way. I'd tend to believe the one that doesn't need to have a specific outcome to be paid.
It might have come from something its just beyond our knowledge and the fact. The fact that the universe works so well from a big bang and the way it is the way it is suggests it possibly happens often, happens more than once. i imagine our universe could be like a spark from a fire floating away. most sparks fade out immediately. some last a while but die but occasionally one lasts a very long time floating away. It could be this universe is one which lasts and works. while thousands and other sparks/ big bangs fizzle out and do not come to much.

Can someone help me understand Brian's question to the bishops? "If the universe is eternal, what place is there for a creator?" This question is going over my head right now.
I am a Christian and I really like the way this guy talks about Science. I love his humility and how he encourages others always to be humble and never arrogant. I don't detect any hostility. Great to listen to.
I just discovered Brian Cox as a genius physicist of our time and I am grateful he exists and tells and explains us all this stuff there is about the universe in a manner we can understand, like others already said in the comments as well. "If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it yourself" I don't know who said that but my point is Brian Cox definetely understands his stuff. xD
Try to explain enterprise software code to your mother. How do you explain that simple? I think the remark is more a statement about knowing your audience than about simplicity.

"I know that I know nothing" is a saying derived from Plato's account of the Greek philosopher Socrates. It is also called the Socratic paradox. The phrase is not one that Socrates himself is ever recorded as saying."
As a Believer, this was very well stated. It is arrogant to have answers for questions with uncertain evidence. I really do appreciate his respect for religion, because far too often do we see discourse in the scientific community over this immense question of origin.
I agree. I am a believer in both Science and religion. I truly think there really IS room for both. When you think about our understanding of space time, we tend to recognize time as a straight line, a beginning and an end, the alpha and the omega, but more and more evidence is leading the opposite direction in that there is no beginning or end, which is mind boggling in and of itself. In effect INIFINITY. That concept of time is staggering.
Religions are just ancient people giving answer to the same question we ask ourselves today, stupid answers but still It had the meaning of give something that people could hang on. Imagine beign born during the medieval period, not knowing anything about modern science, seems easy to just say everything is how It is because of a big dude in the sky. It was a simple answer to make things better, to give existence a meaning. But that opium that is religion is An hell of a drug and people today, with all the science etc still hang on those stuff because: is a simple answer to complex questions.
Whilst I agree that there is room for both science and religion, I find it very hard to accept any religion which has found its way to us in the form of a book. To me that is a clear sign that it is man-made. I have room for a God but I am not arrogant enough to believe such a god would communicate to us.
@@chrisloesch1870the only problem is if the universe is infinite then how did we get to the point we’re at now and we don’t know why consciousness is a thing or why we have feelings I’m not dismissing that it is a possibility that the universe could be infinite but I’ve got a feeling that there’s a lot more to it than that because there’s certain things that just leave you going what?
science "is not the discipline of saying that you're not right, it's saying this is what we found out". this is the best words i've heard from a scientist.
Well as a caveat to that I think he’s also saying religions would do well to realize when what we have found out contradicts unsubstantiated religious claims we need to except that and move forward.

@@Cujo5 Most of what you said is BS. Unless you were there when the big bang happened it's not exactly a proven but rather another story with the label of science on it. Both science and religion require faith, but religion requires much more as an individual.
"God is not ruled out". Words spoken by a famous physicist. This man is one of my favorite physicists of all time. There is not an arrogant bone in his body. He lends respect to religious people who want to know the objective natural truth to our reality (scientor). It's difficult in this age to have a serious interest in science as well as religion. I'm glad there are scientists like Brian Cox in this world. The man has wisdom.
god being a scientist is a possibility. infinite universes with miniscule differences between each. Sounds like a science experiment, all but 1 thing is a constant and 1 variable changed in each. "What happens when I let this play out. Can I create more of myself (say all matter in the universe collapses and becomes energy again)?" Things I figure a lone, extremely powerful being might ask/try to figure out.
@Fire Stryker Well, if God is not His creation as a whole, if God is not a part of His creation, and if God's creation is infinite, then He can't exist, as nothing can exist outside of infinity, because this would mean that the infinity is bounded by this external higher being, while the definition of infinity is unboundedness. This only leaves atheism and pantheism, the latter being the idea that God equals the Universe.

Btw I dont assume what happens on a trip holds any merit and like I said very possible you can chalk it up as a drug messing with you.
@@Legit14525 I personally feel like its the relationship that makes it important. A connection to God, is as a connection to one's self, and/or a connection to nature, or other beings. It can be indescribable, but known, nonetheless. I feel the same for anything psycho-active or hallucinogenic. Your senses are being inhibited sometimes (blocked) or they can be magnified/intensified as well. Your brain will make up what it doesn't receive sometimes to make sense of what it does receive as it's always trying to figure things out. Sometimes you intensely feel yourself or the feelings of others. That same connection could be illusion, or it could be divine. The connection is there regardless, so as long as you learn from it, and don't jump to conclusions, I think it's as good as it gets. Who's to say otherwise, right?
@@iamBlackGambit that's your opinion, everyone's entitled to their own and when you try and force yours like that, it just makes you sound like a prick
I feel like if I ever needed to hear bad news, I’d want Dr. Brian Cox to be the one to tell me. The man’s voice is so calming. Not a ounce of arrogance in his body.
A friend of mine had him as a lecturer for one of his physics modules at UoM and he wasn't that great a lecturer, in his opinion. Which is interesting because he comes across as so engaging in his TV shows and interviews, so perhaps my friend is just weird. Although, he is a fan of his as well.
maximthefox that’s interesting, maybe when he has to provide coursework with a lot of complicated math and algorithms it gets rather boring to teach, which is why he isn’t considered a great lecturer. On this show he doesn’t have to go into the math and physics behind certain phenomena, which is why he is probably more engaging in my opinion. However, this is just my assumption and I could be totally wrong lol but nonetheless that’s super cool your friend had him as a lecturer.
Disclaimer: Kind of a dumb explanation, but science is like discovering the ones and zeros and coding that make up a video game from the perspective of the characters inside the cartridge. However, if the creators of that game never encoded their name, why they made the game and what the outside world is like outside of the game no amount of data mining will ever be enough to answer philosophical questions of existence from the perspective of the characters inside that game. It doesn't mean it isn't valuable, but trying to find meaning or a lack of meaning based on scientific discoveries may be like trying to describe what your favorite video game means to you based on the coding rather than the childhood nostalgia that you have thinking back to when you first played it.

Brian is a special kind of genius to not only be able to understand complex ideas but to be able to relate those ideas to us non-geniuses in a way that we can understand.
He's smart, but not a genius, far from it. He's got a decent grasp of the work of various geniuses, such as Einstein; but he would laugh (politely) at you for calling him a genius.
@@matthewphilip1977 A genius has an IQ of 160. I'd bet a dollar that Brian Cox has that.

Anyway, I enjoy listening to him talk about astronomy, and I appreciate his intellect and enthusiasm, no matter what is iq may be!
Science can only say "these are the ideas that we can confidently say are incorrect." With more time, we eliminate more incorrect ideas. Since there are infinite ideas, we can never eliminate all of the wrong ones...and that is where God will always exist.
Personally I just think God definitionally isn’t something science deals with. Science deals with measurable physical things and God is by definition neither of those. So even looking at God though the lenses of science doesn’t make sense. The scientific method is a great tool, but it is by no means an all purpose one.
Nah, just he is just hiding his arrogance saying "we don't know all the answers" but then continues to make very bold conclusions about reality with very limited data. This is what these mainstream science guys usually tend to do. Show him some video footage of UFOs or surgeons' testimonies about their patients' NDEs and you'll see how limited his self-righteous thinking is. He'll probably just ignore them as hoaxes because they don't fit into his stubborn rigid paradigm.
God says he is Light and he created the universe with truth. God says he has no beginning or ending as he is eternal, he doesn’t need foods or sleep he is not like his creation rather he’s is the loftiest attribute and he is aware of every things, nothing is hidden from him. He knows the inner thoughts of our hearts. And it is he who gives us all shorts of thoughts bad and good all thoughts to test us and certainly he will remove evil people from his creation and will throw them into hell.
mattmessuh “This doesn’t mean you can’t believe in God or gods. That’s not ruled out...”. “ it’s not the discipline of saying ‘you’re not right’, it’s saying ‘this is what we found out...’”. Those are pretty humble thing for a professor of particle physics to say, especially a famous one, imo.
Iconoclasticnation I’m not sure why “you can believe what you want, as long as you don’t disagree with me” sounds humble lmao. The ironic part is that observational science is only meaningful if your philosophy allows for it (so first of all, science is dependent upon philosophy), and furthermore, it can’t actually prove anything definitively. So everything he’s claiming to “know” really are just theories (yes, I know theories aren’t just guesses), especially when it comes to astronomy. we may see that the further away we look we see less carbon, and we see that nuclear fission produces carbon, but that doesn’t actually prove that the nuclear fission produced the carbon that we see. It is a reasonable theory, but it’s not something you can actually know to be the cause.
mattmessuh We’re talking in general terms here, not specifics. I don’t entirely disagree with what you’ve written, but I like that Brian makes plenty of concessions in acknowledging what science doesn’t yet know, and to me that’s humility. I agree that there are specific kinds of evidences that are open to a variety of interpretations, and that biases and assumptions do hold sway in some fields of science, but again, in this particular clip we’re talking generalities.
What's really interesting is that Christianity does indeed operate within that framework as you said. There are still some people who make up their own rules about Christianity and claim this to be right and this to be incorrect/wrong, but really the more deeper you explore these scientific laws and ideas, the more my belief of God *does* indeed exists grows and grows like a plant watered by scientific logic.

Most Islamic scholars say that one verse of the Quran (9:5) abrogates 124 verses, which are basically all the verses that talk about peace and forgiveness. This is the verse that says: “But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular Prayers and practise regular Charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful” 9:5 "فَإِذَا انسَلَخَ الأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُواْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ وَاقْعُدُواْ لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتَوُاْ الزَّكَاةَ فَخَلُّواْ سَبِيلَهُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ" التوبة 5:9 I think you Muslims are so naive. You are in trouble when you ask for the context of the verse. It shows that not all Quranic verses are relevant today and they belong only to the 7th century. Quran is becoming outdated because Muslims can not follow them all. Yet you guys without even reading anything blindly follow your religion.

Yes but he does limit religion to operating inside of the realities of what we know through science. And it's the right thing, because religion has a place so long as they don't start killing people for telling the truth again.
Religion does not order to kill another human. Most of the time they sold you made up content just to put out their agenda against islam or other religions. Think this way...if islam order followers to kill others then why would same islamic religion will say *killing one human is like killing entire humanity and saving one human is like saving entire humanity*

rent a shill I guess. But the idea of God from what I see is a divine creator, or omnipotent being. If he was a high dimensional being I doubt he’d be a tangible physical presence we could interpret. So kind of an alien but more than that I guess.
Alessandro B10 Not necessarily. It would explain his influence in the world operating from a higher dimension. Religious texts would still hold up as God never appears as a physical being.
The next highest dimension from our own is the fifth. In the fifth dimension, time is accesible at any moment, past present, or future. This would eliminate the concept of decision making (free will), as all decisions are already “made”
Our universe is only potentially eternal in the same way that you are only potentially a figment of my imagination. that is to say, it’s not logically inconsistent, but all evidence points to the contrary.
Brian Cox is my absolute favourite scientist. He is such a great teacher. So passionate about astrophysics and so humble. And explains the concepts so elegantly. Wow! Loved him in Human Universe!
Thanks for that insight, Karl! I guess it happens with child prodigies (I'm guessing he was). I also feel that he must have had an innate humility to be this transformed. But who knows?
@@samienaamien7038 I removed my comment, I don't really see the reason to point the things out that I did, Brian is too great to be talked bad about, I guess I just wanted to emphasize that due to all the humble comments about him, he hasn't always been like that towards supernatural subjects, the Brian I started to know couldn't stand the questions, which was funny in itself, that's why it's great to see him grow and to be able to talk about it, because it's really great to hear his input on these things. And now I made the same comment anyways :P. Oh well, what I'm trying to say is Brain is the best, and I agree with your comment. I'm currently on a Brian Cox marathon, highly recommend it. Brian really makes you feel good and happy like nobody else. I would make my homework the same day that he's giving it to me :P. Great teacher, the best. As I once said, just imagine spending a night with him, but watching the stars that is, and hearing him talk.
@@karlkarlsson9126 I understood where you were coming from. And don't worry, I think it's great to know that people can grow in that way. Some scientists a la Richard Dawkins (great as he can be) tend to be as dogmatic about their own views as some of the religious orthodoxy can be. They forget that science is discovery. And they don't know enough about religion to refute it outright. They often take the scriptures too literally. I really enjoyed your comment. Also love the fact that you felt the need to delete it. It shows kindness and heart. Thanks!
PS. A night under the stars with Brian Cox sounds like heaven. I would just be listening, however. Maybe wanting to ask a few questions, but feeling too stupid to say anything. I would tell him that Contact is my fave sci-fi movie because it's got plausible science, philosophy and religion, and a very human element. And it was based on a story by Carl Sagan, one of his heroes.
Ro Lo slightly above average. He doesn't have high Fluid intelligence He's like a strategist, due to his years of podcasting he managed to talk and makes point. And that's a difference between obtaining informations and fluid intelligence. He's also self-aware, and asks questions.
Brian Fox, Joe Rogan and Michael Jones(IP) should do a podcast together. It is also odd that Rogan haven't had him on yet, that seems like an as fun discussion as IP and Jordan Peterson. Wonder how long it would be before both Rogan and Peterson meet Jones.
It's important to note that there is a distinction between religion and God. If there is a creator, it could be outside of the bounds of human comprehension all together if it is powerful enough to create all that we know and don't know (infinite multiverse?!). We like to put faces on things and liken them to ourselves. A force that acts outside of our known universe could be the ultimate creator and takes no form nor lends conscious connection to us. Every religion could be completely wrong and there could still be a God/creator. It's truly impossible to say because there are things that will ALWAYS be outside of our realm of understanding or quantification.
The Bible is the true word of God. It proves its self time and time again regardless it was written a long time ago. This means Jesus is God. Accept Jesus as your Lord today
@Ashton Mitchelll everyone has an agenda and we will always speak but never force. My agenda is for you not to go to hell. Free will is a gift from God. He made us not to be robots. It's your choice, choose Jesus today
@Ashton Mitchelll The historical evedence points to Jesus being God and the Bible points to Jesus too. There is no such thing as many ways to heaven. There is only one and that's through the gift of salvation Jesus have us by the cross. All the other religions are based acts and how good you are. Christianity is about a free pass to heaven by grace not acts. And yes you can turn it down and pass on the gift. It's up to you
