I swear, every person i look up to intellectually, robert has interviewed them. And if he hasnt, its because they have been dead before closer to truth was created. Robert's quest to understand fundamental reality by interviewing the greatest minds around the world is admirable, and even if he doesnt succeed, he has helped spread new ideas and a deep, exciting sense of curiosity to the general public. If einstien or Newton were alive today, they would be interviewed on here, which would be interesting, because their personalities are not really documented because high quality video didnt exist back then, so they are mostly mystified.

I suspect it's like asking "What are the dimensions of a thought?", given the unknowns about the nature of spacetime, and origin of (the principles of?) energy and consciousness.

I, like everyone else wonder about origin. And like everyone else I have no idea what origin looked like. But with all we know now logic indicates to me that origin itself had/has to be conscious, arbitrary, and creative. To originate all this, however huge it may be, the origin would have to act as origin arbitrarily (because there was no perceivable basis for action) consciously (to be capable of arbitrary thought and actions) and creatively (to conceive of that which it originated in the first place). It could not have happened unconsciously or even by unconscious physical reaction, because both those states are reactive to pre-existing conditions. At origin, there were no pre-existing conditions. If origin was/is conscious, and there was nothing more, followed by everything more we perceive, then the cosmos itself is conscious because it is basically constructed of consciousness.

I don't believe there is an origin, just an eternal consciousness that has always been and always will be. All finite things must come from another finite thing, which leads to the problem of infinite regress, and you cannot incorporate an infinte concept into that which is finite. Only that which is infinite does not require an explanation of origin. Time does not exist on this greater plane, our universe, in which time and entropy does exist, is just an infintessimally small part of the greater whole, which is limitless.

Max always grabs my attention and never lets go.. His ideas concerning the real existence of platonic shapes and other mathematical patterns are not fully convincing, BUT they are impossible to ignore..

It has always struck me as pointless for such parts of the universe to exist that we can never reach - why is it there if only to tease us and pull faces at us from hundreds, thousands, millions of light-years away? And why is the speed of light so slow? Why should it be almost impossible for us to reach even the closest stars when limited to this crawling cosmological speed limit?

Robert’s program is entitled Closer to Truth. But the more he asks questions, the more complicated the answers are. Max’s answers just boggles the mind.

It’s strange to think that both possibilities seem equally insane: that space could have a limit, or be infinite.

The universe fundamentally speaking, is neither so-called finite, nor infinite, period. Both terms are some mental constructs, and are purely anthropocentric, nothing more. We can surely entertain such concepts, play with them, even have a playground full of such concepts of all kinds of all levels. However, at the end of the day we shouldn't forget that they are nothing but mental concepts, and limited by their very nature. What we observe, what we understand, and what we usually define in many levels as the so-called universe OUT THERE is just a tiny projection of what we think, or rather what we need want the universe to be. The reality is that, the ultimate reality is not even a 'thing' to begin with, as I would like to call it No-Thing-ness (needless to say that's different than the commonsensical nothingness we throw around everyday). It doesn't belong to any form, concept, or object that we define, observe or can even imagine. By nature it stays ineffable beyond both mind, matter, finitehood, and infinity and eternity. As Plotinus said 2000 years ago, it even stands beyond being and non-being.

Great descriptions of the different possible levels. However, every time I hear people describe the many worlds theory or things like it, I wonder, ok that may be true, but how do we find ourselves in one reality or the other?? No one ever addresses it. It opens questions about what is "I". What is consciousness, personal identity, the soul, etc.

We need to meet some of the more advanced beings that surely exist out there that can help us with the questions on our minds and the questions we don't even know enough to ask.

Infinity is a hard concept to grasp, but there is one concept, and the only one i can think of, that is infinite and we use every day, and that is numbers.

we are now in the twilite zone.. speculating about hypothesis and imagining anything we want to..

In theory it is possible to prove that the universe is not infinite, but not the converse. So all we can ever do is place a lower boundary on it's size, based on observation.

But what is "space" stretching into? If absolute nothing can't exist, then outside of what we know is space, something must exist, once you get to an "edge," something must still exist beyond it, as absolute nothing could not/would not exist beyond it, so it must be in something and in wracks my brain, that it must be infinite, because I can't imagine all of it (what we know and don't know, beyond the observable universe) is surrounded by absolute nothing, again, which couldn't exist in it's nature, as it would have no quantum field, no dimensions, no energy/mass or anything as we as humans aren't aware of. Then the other question is, regardless of simulation or real energy/matter, where did it all come from, how the heck did the first quark come into existence, let alone, how did anything ever just exist and change/evolve/etc.. over time? It seems like we are consciousness learning about itself but beyond that, it's all we'll ever know, as amazing and as vast as the universe is, we'll never get to explore it aside from observations from our planet. Yeah, we can probably build machines to explore that can self repair and make copies and have enough of energy to do so, but the pessimist in me thinks that this is it, there's nothing here after and while we may learn this and that while we are here, was there really any point, we're all dead, our sun is a red giant, earth is back to where it started, but worse off then before. Thinking about it, how we "evolved" to hunt and predate other living creatures so that we could survive let alone daily life which is weird. The whole thing is kind of weird. We came from a bunch of different forms of energy, coalesced to matter, and through physics and chemistry and time, evolved to this. Look at the universe and what it took to create it and here we are futzing around with jobs, 401k's, wars, disease, car breakdowns, etc....it's like a joke, it's like, is any of this for real, is there some inside joke here on us?

0:22 No, the radius of the observable universe is not 14 billion light years just because the universe is 14 billion years old. That is a very common misconception.

How far does awareness go?

It’s easy to define matter, yet harder to explain phenomena that are not matter. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. This includes atoms, elements, compounds, and any object you can touch, taste, or smell. Things that are non-matter either have no mass or else don’t fill a volume. Here are several examples: Vacuum: By definition, a vacuum is a region that does not contain any matter. It may be bounded by a volume. Energy: Light, heat, kinetic and potential energy, and sound are non-matter because they are massless. Objects that have mass and are matter may emit energy. For example, a swinging pendulum consists of matter, but its energy of motion is not matter. A fire consists of hot gases and plasma (matter), yet gives off light and heat (not matter). Time: Time can be measured, but it has no mass and occupies no volume. Rainbow: A rainbow is an optical phenomenon. It’s essentially light. Emotions: Love, hate, and happiness may be rooted in chemistry, but feelings don’t have mass or occupy volume. Gravity: You can feel its effects and it is associated with mass, yet it doesn’t consist of matter. Memories: Like emotions, these are non-matter. Dreams: Again, you can’t weigh them on a balance or enclose them in a container. Magnetism: Forces, in general, are not matter. Information: Information may be recorded in a physical form, but it’s really just a concept. Music: Music is sound, which is a form of energy. How to Tell Something Isn’t Matter There are two simple tests you can perform to tell if something consists of matter. If it fails either test, it’s non-material. Could the phenomenon be weighed on any scale? Matter has mass. Does the phenomenon occupy a volume? In other words, does it take up space? All matter has physical dimensions. Note, your senses aren’t always reliable indicators of whether or not something is matter. You can see light and feel heat, but they don’t have mass. You can hear music, but you can’t weigh it or enclose it. Two senses you can trust are smell and taste. These two senses require chemical receptors. All scents and flavors are chemical compounds, which are matter. (Nikola Tessla: The idea of the atom being formed of electrons and protons which go whirling round each other like a miniature sun and planets is an invention of the imagination, and has no relation to the real nature of matter. “Virtually all progress has been achieved by physicists, discoverers and inventors; in short, devotees of the science which Newton and his disciples have been and are propounding. “Personally, it is only efforts in this direction which have claimed my energies. Similar remarks might be made with respect to other modern developments of thought. Take, for example, the electron theory. Perhaps no other has given rise to so many erroneous ideas and chimerical hopes. Everybody speaks of electrons as something entirely definite and real. Still, the fact is that nobody has isolated it and nobody has measured its charge. Nor does anybody know what it really is. “In order to explain the observed phenomena, atomic structures have been imagined, none of which can possibly exist." -Nikola Tesla “Great Scientific Discovery Impends.“ The Sunday Star, Washington D.C., May 17, 1931.) That's why their good old 'education' systems teaches us literally nothing about magnetism and also why they conjured a whole platform of pseudoscience which they use to conceal all fundamental knowledge pertaining to magnetism. $hit, they've even established a whole apparent "Regulatory Body" to suppress all info on the detrimental effects of ALL Electromagnetic Radiation upon living Cells and organisms. Due to all Cells being electromagnetic or electrostatic in nature, just like an Atom is "99.9% empty space" according to that pseudoscience and yet any logical mind would conclude that empty space is only empty of matter but NOT empty of field phenomena such as magnetism or the Aether itself, thus, retroductively the Atom is clearly an electrostatic dynamo over and above any mass formed within that Atom as a nuclei. All nuclei acting as an arch-form; a specific geometry which is manifest from the release of infinite potential, hence it being a dynamo. Even 60Hz Radiowaves are harmful to living Cells as it inescapably effects the electrical ARCING processes within that electrostatic dynamo. What pseudoscience terms "an effect on the electron orbital order of the Atom/Cell" because they need to reinforce their whole Atomistic and Materialistic religion that is the Cult of infinite bumping particles that is Theoretical "science". Which isn't real science at all. Hence why all such Theoretical pseudoscience was both conjured and promoted by the Crowns/Vaticans Jesuits whom still steer their common core curriculum to this day. Einstein; "One Stone/Marble" up there, just a Jesuit fraud like the rest of those false "scientists"that they put upon pedestals for the citizenry to worship and idolise. Even the irrelevant Theory of Relativity he stole from Jules Henri Poincaré. Who was, ftr, just another Jesuit liar also.

It goes on as far as your imagination will take you.

I am trying to think of a star that is 3 light years away from the earth. α-centauri is about 4.3 light years away. Is there another star closer to earth than α-centauri? 😁

Proxima centaurs might be 3.something light years away.

@@PSBdad might be? I thought it was 4.246 light Years away from the Earth?

How big is it ? it starts here and ends here .

it ends down the sewer by the graveyard near Armageddon-Avenue...

Intelligent Design Random Natural Processes pre existing universes multi universes infinite space eternal so much we still don't know

It's a figure eight..go far enough away and you end up back where you started .. you're welcome

The cosmos doesnt have a finite distance only energy can be measured, not space platonism is false

🌿 SPACE is God's BOUNDLESS LIGHT 🌿

This is not reason interview?

Uh-oh! Get set for people in the comment section to start sounding like Charlie Chan.

This is what you get when otherwise intelligent minds go astray and become hopelessly lost in self-aggrandizing nonsense about something the little Human mind cannot ever comprehend ! 😎😎

The way he speaks reminds me of Dan Ariely. (Max is not a fraud though.)

....you may think its a long way to the chemists...

Does Max believe in the Mandela Effect?

There is a simple proof that the multiverse or infinite universe are plain wrong. 'No jellybeans: no infinity!’ What do I mean by this? Well in an infinite number of universes or an infinite single universe there will be an infinite number of me writing this right now. And an infinite number of me writing it with one letter different then two letters different and so on until every possible arrangement of atoms is catered for ad infinitum. So in an infinite number of these places there is a version of me who has completely conquered space time and physics and so on - a true master of the universe, as it were. And an infinite number of these characters would have chosen to visit this very place and spend their entire day throwing jellybeans at me, just for fun. So as they don’t it’s because they can’t or don’t exist. ’No jellybeans: no infinity!’ QED! ;)

The universe is infinitely big plus 1-meter

Closer To Truth really needs to start being a little bit more responsible and start posting the date that these interviews were originally aired. Posting videos 10 years old without telling people seems dumb when discussing science. 0:22 14 billion lightyear radius?? See my point. Do better please.

I believe that cosmos can not go further than the skeptics and atheists' egoes had gone.

Relly quite far.

The reason for our becoming self-conscious, or self-aware, creatures will become apparent later on, when we begin exploring the nature of being human in greater detail. But this human self-consciousness is something quite different in nature to the reality of the Consciousness that lies behind and within everything to appear as the myriad forms in existence. Consciousness inhabits and animates creation and its creatures not unlike the power that flows through a computer to make it work in accordance with the hardware and software of the device. By this analogy, the specific physical characteristics of a creature’s body constitute the hardware, and the programming of its mind the software. These things are important to understand because if this conceptual ground is not firm, the model we build from here will not endure, and its potential value will be lost. What all this is pointing to is that what you really are―what we all are―is an eternal, unlimited energy source capable of creating and experiencing events. What you are is this creative source, this Consciousness. Who you are is how this Consciousness works through you to express as something unique in the world. Powerful creative Consciousness is your true and essential nature, but of course, you experience your life through the limitations of a human body, so it may not seem that you are an all-powerful being at times, or indeed ever. By its very nature, the body exists as some ‘thing’ and is, therefore, a limitation or restriction of ‘everything else possible’, to become something specific and useful―a human being. And then it must be remembered that these bodies we inhabit are a product of Mother Earth, and have developed for good reasons. Although today there are many philosophes, theories and just sheer guesses put forward to explain the purpose of our existence, none of them fully describe or satisfactorily explain the original intention for our emergence. Some bodies born into this world have, or will develop over time, physical or mental attributes that further alter the creative opportunities and experiences available to them in a lifetime. The influence of our national culture, the general culture of our times, and the impact of our upbringing by parents and other significant people also become major influences that can place limitations on our thinking and power. Other restrictions occur as a result of the pains we might experience in life, the emotions that often get buried in the body as a result, and the accumulating limited beliefs they then give rise to. There is also the concept of ‘karmic debt’ that will limit opportunities, and this too will be discussed later in the work. The state of your own evolved Consciousness is another factor affecting personal power. All these things limit the opportunities you have in life, and so it can be seen that although your true nature is something quite grand, you find yourself in very limiting circumstances. But it is important to keep perspective. Your essential nature is a free and unlimited Consciousness, a potential capable of eternal creation and experience. And this Consciousness was the reality before the Universe that we know emerged.

The discussion is silly. He can't explain or won't bother to explain his own ignorance. So he takes the opposing view, that there are clues pointing to a "possible, future, solution". Either there is an explanatory gap or there isn't. You can't admit it's existence and then dismiss it's existence based on the "hope" you derive from current knowledge, current, incomplete knowledge. Wishful thinking isn't science, extrapolation is science fiction. Ridiculous.

What do parallel universes tell us about dreams ?
