This is profound, taking physics into its border zone with spirituality. Younger viewers than me (ie virtually all of you) will not be able to appreciate how lucky you are to live in an age where you can access this so easily. People like Nick may be the true heroes of our age.

I think what this leads to is "mindfulness." Existing in the moment. Thoughts are about the past or future. It has a spiritual tone to it (Eckhart Tolle). But, there are basic principles involved (don't think; exist in the moment. The past & future are constructs. Like a snail remembering something it picked up from its elevated "eyes." It's just a matter of degrees. All that is real is *now*.). That kind of stuff naval-gazing to me in the past. But, it really is like the inverse of waht you said. Taking spirituality (existence) to a border of physics. There's only one moment (now) in the universe. We're the only things stitching past and future into now (snails too, to some lessor extent). What turned me onto this way of thinking was a KZread channel mindfulPeace. They had these two videos: "Guided Mindfulness Meditation on the Present Moment. Be Here Now." The other is gone now. They've created a slew of new videos. But, that one (and the one gone now) were very basic. About recognizing your own thoughts as they arise. Differentiating between being in the now vs self-talk, rumination.

That's why studying science is amazing, studing how the universe work is looking deep inside of us because we are all part of this thing that we don't know what it is, but we know that it's happening right now but we are not different from chemical reaction or physic forces, we are made of matter and energy the two things that make this universe we are indeed the universe itself, the line that separe our complexity of our body and the rest, is just immaginary.

Im addicted to learn more about the nature of reality and because i dont have the mental capacity neither the education about these kind of stuff i appreaciate these youtubers, Arvin, Nick, Alessandro, Fermilab and PBS. Unfortunetely (most) people born after the year 2000 are more concerned about TikTok, hip hop and pornography, maybe when you grow up with scarcity wondering about God and the universe is a good thing to help you appreaciate the answers your are given so easily driven by your curiosity.

Hello Nick! I remember that I read a very interesting and well-written book on physics, which helped me to understand more about tensors and quantum mechanics, when I was studying at university a few years ago. I accidentally discovered your channel surfing the youtube a couple of months ago. By now I think I have watched all of your videos, and I really love them!). What a surprise was for me when I realized, that the book was actually written by you). I couldn^t finish it all at that time, but I^m definitely gonna buy it now. I teach maths and physics to high school students myself, and your videos improved my understanding and answered some of my questions about gravity and relativity. So THANK YOU very much, keep up the good work and I wish you good luck in your future projects and in your life!!!

To all those out there with the same question as Nitesh Kumar: stick with it, and keep watching this guy. Your lightbulb will eventually flip on; that moment is extremely rewarding.

Not only do I come in for the videos, Nick, but I always read at least the first 100 comments every time! I. LOVE. THIS. CHANNEL. AND. I. LOVE. YOUR. FOLLOWING. CRAZIES!

There's not a suitable "Like" function for this kind of work, in every aspect. Perception, structure, presentation - all of the highest level possible. Nick Lucid, a true genious of our time, dealing with concepts only a few people can and doing so in an innovative, unique way - not copying left and right as we so often see happening on KZread - and still managing to let us all get a pretty good idea of what he tries to convey. Just brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

Loved the complete video, but loved the last two lines the most! "You have a choice about what kind of person you are here and now. Make that a good one". NAILED IT...

I had always tried to understand what the heck is the light cone, watched dozens of videos, consulted many teachers but just couldn't get it. You did that in a mere minute. You're just awesome!😙

There's probably a Nobel prize in science and/mathematics for whoever figures it out either way.

This gave me a minor existential crisis, that fairly rare for me, good job.

Wonderful presentation...

Even though your information isn't the best, your presentation is awesome. Great work.

If something happen in my future, which is someone's past that mean... it has to be out of my influence so it must be some information that have already made which I can't change so-called existed future means information made by others (info out of your influence) that you can learn in the future but my future which is within my influence, is not yet made into information, to be in someone's future so... my future is not predetermined you can make new information and decide your reactions to predetermined information
