You are also impose your meaning on the universe when you say it has no meaning. Your meaning is that it has no meaning. And that's imposing too. The universe is as it is. An open plane of possibilities. You find your own meaning, whatever it is. Michio has really impressed me with his words and optimism on this one. I've always thought him to be a shallow person, but now I see this beautiful, optimistic, and realistic side of him.

This video was uploaded 8 years ago. But I watch it now as I found this page by chance. Love these discussions.

Good conversation between two fine minds. About 15 years ago I figured the meaning of life was to have a good time, make yourself useful and avoid harm wherever possible. As soon as the thought arrived I knew that millions of other people would have thought pretty well the same thought before I did because I could see it in the approach of many people I knew.

"There is no objective, universal meaning only subjective, independent interpretations" ...that would seem like a pretty concise way to answer this question.

Michio Kaku is a leader in getting "Closer To Truth"!

To all people that doubt that life has a meaning I ask you to do a serious research on what is being discovered about the nature of consciousness. It seems to point out that consciousness is a structuring force of organization. Thus whether or not the Universe had meaning in the beginning before the birth of consciousness is not that important anymore. Consciousness makes the Universe meaningful today. Thus we have to find the divine in our self to make this world a paradise rather then a hell.

"Meaning" is never out there somewhere, it is by definition a phenomenon of the human mind interacting with the world. Saying we create and discover our own meaning is not a cop out at all! Meaning, like ethics and love are emergent phenomena that arise experientially and require sentience and context. A bit like a rainbow. Take away the observing perceptual system and the combination of light and water in the air do not produce some objective and eternally meaningful rainbow. The world exists independent of our minds, but meaning does not, any more than ethics, love, music or Shakespeare!

Truth and meaning about the physical universe and all its natural laws which operate in the same way existed before you or human beings stood on this Earth. Truth and meaning does not exist in the potter's clay or the potter's finished pot. Only the potter's attributes are seen in the finished pot. The source of the truth and meaning exists outside of nature. Your challenge is to find this source. Scientists and philosophers haven't found the source of truth so they go round and round the bush hoping to find it.

Watching the first episode.. refreshing

(comment Part#1) I liked this video. But I gotta say something! I like it when Dr.Michio says:"All of us are born with certain talents, certain abilities & we have to reach the maximum of our capabilities & potential to make the world a better place... to make sure we leave the universe(the world) a better place than we first entered" "we have to create our own meaning....it is a process of self-discovery"

Great words of wisdom from such a talented scientist!

One of the potential answers for meaning in idealism is to have experiences, which are in themselves, particular bits of knowledge. Knowledge is the ultimate purpose. Through us, the universal consciousness gains knowledge of itself.

If we start looking for outside reason then we live either in fear or we go lazy & insane. it has to be quest for excellence originating from deep place inside may be intensified by external existence. michio kaku a man of high intellect & good heart.

To spread through out the cosmos before the next cataclysmic event wipes out life on earth. That's the meaning of life.

Good video. "YOU" have to look for meaning. I like it.

Meaning of the universe,reason,etc.are aimed at evolution which not only delivers without fail, and in which I am an active participant, purpose is the word. The purpose of evolution is to ensure life and intelligence to evolve.For whom you may ask. For you and me-!!!

Going back in time one is drawn to an even simpler genome that drives evolution from an earlier time. The big bang produced dark matter and dark energy with opposite properties, Then came particles and anti-particles,matter and anti-matter,negative gravity, temperature etc. This cannot be an accident that the role played by opposites should be so universal. Although not properly understood, I think Hegel unity of opposites, called dialectics is the universal genome responsible for everything before and after big bang. It was the unrivaled intuition of Hegel, who extended the concept to infinity, claiming dialectics as the universal program.

I loved this video. I came to the same conclusion when I was younger... when I was going through the usual teenage angst of self discovery. Why am I here? Why do I exist. And I was depressed for while, because I could not find the answers to those questions. Ultimately, and after much reflection, I came to the same conclusion. The meaning, and the why, ultimately has to come from you. Adopting someone else's meaning and someone elses reasons will not feel natural to you, because the answers are not your own.

What a brilliant man. We all live and die in a meaningless universe, perhaps among an infinite number of universes. On a macro scale there is no meaning, but in our micro scale we can find meaning through work and love and that is as good as it gets.

Life is the reason and life is not a question but a lesson. Without life, the universe has no meaning. We are the reason and though our place in the cosmos might look insignificant, in time, we could become the dominant force. We have the potential to become immortal beings controlling the universe. Expanding to new universes and maybe even creating them.

i love Michio Kaku. He is awsome

Why does he piss you off exactly? I find he's a great teacher. Very clear and concise.

In the Sci fi series Babylon 5, the Minbari Delenn once stated, "we are the thinking part of the universe, trying to understand itself." If you look at the universe as being a kind of organism, then this makes sense.

Excellent answer.. And in my own struggle to understand just what the hell I am.. It makes sense..

good question.

I love this guy. Unlike most scientists and physicists, he's fun. I dont know about religion, even though I was raised in the heart of the bible belt, I've always questioned the idea of organized religion. In truth I've always believed in a creator since it is nearly impossible, mathmatically speaking, for life as we know it to exist in an analog universe. yes, I'm saying I think we exist in a digital simulated universe. But who cares? We are all self aware individuals with at least some degree of free will. We must conform to certain laws of physics but that is written into the code and cant be changed by us, at least not yet. We are also made of nothing more than energy at the most basic level and that is a fact. Our self awareness is another matter entirely. Once we develop quantum technology it will change everything.

Right on

The meaning of life is to EVOLUTE. An endless process, where everyone is (and must be) searching ALL THE TIME, in every single aspect of life, simple or complex.

Resolution is practically gameboy

I wonder when Kuhn says the he thinks we are "close" to knowing everything, how in the cosmos he can even have an inkling that that is true. That is a "why" question that I'm curious about.

To the point of meaning we are energy and the cosmos is energy it and we can change or do anything we want both good and bad anytime we want for as long as the energy is present. Thank you!!!!!!!! There is no such thing as nothing.

Hey, good for you man. I think you should be grateful of whatever makes you happy. Although I could tell you that Kaku's answer here is somewhat equivalent to lets say if Kuhn gave a physics lecture, and said, "I think gravity is great because it keeps us all grounded." It's not incorrected since it's only's his own opinion, but it's trivial to people who know a thing or two about physics.

So Michio! I love this self-observer meaning, because it is more democratic and less dictatorial as to a unified theory solution. Perhaps there can be more than one equation set for everything.

Michio rocks like always

1) The "the most commonplace non-religious response" is also the most apt one 2) Well, even Kuhn could be said to be running away from the answer by refuting it; but that would not be accurate, would it?

Best physicist ever

Love and work are the keys to meaning according to Kaku.

Via Freud!

Prof. Kaku talked about the meaning of life, as an individual life of an individual, which in my opinion is to reproduce and survive (love and work for a couple of thousand years) and to perfect our being trying to fit in to the Universe's harmony painlessly; but what is the meaning of Life, Universe and Everything? 42?!

In short, the absence of objective meaning requires us to provide our own, subjective, meaning, so that we can live on with what is, perhaps, an illusion of meaningfulness in our pursuit for happiness.

5:35 What if our search inside ourselves tells us that as humans, our knowledge is based upon understanding, and our understanding is based on our perception, thus any idea for a purpose we come up with cannot necessarily be true as it's a perception we just hold to ourselves, not necessarily definitive, and thus, we should just keep searching? This is how I feel, so I'm ever rejecting perspectives and it's crazy... My current thoughts on 'why we're here'? There is no 'why'; we're just here. Life began without purpose and we exist because of a science we cannot perceive. So my purpose in life? Whatever I make it. And I make it the search to possibly, one day, better the world in even a small way to encourage it to continue the search for understanding.

i like the idea that our reason for being here is so the cosmos can see and discovery itself through us

Purpose is life. That is the prime equation and explains the "reason".

6:20 He´s absolutely right. We have no hope :/

the meaning of existence is to find out how it came to exist. That question once formulated, was the impetus of physical expression (big bang) which culminated in sentient evolution within the debris parts, used as an attempt to answer that original query. Reality is the child on the doorstep left to grow up and find it's root...and sentience is that component doing the work...

Stefan Thiesen Hi Stefan, thanks for your feedback. Well, if I observe nature I think that it is fair to say that the goal of nature is to let the most suitable DNA traits to survive across generations. Everything is built on this adaptive concept. We may argue if there is a "will" on its own or it just is, but it is a fact that the system is built to survive and evolve (or you may say it is the DNA that "wants" to survive). And why that? If life happened, why not to just "be" instead of evolving? Even Eukaryotes do strive to pass on their DNA (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryote#Sexual_reproduction). I hope I was able to explain myself well enough.

Patrick Schaufelberger Daniel Naranjo The explanation is elemental and applies generally to everything. Things that are durable perdure, and things that are not durable don´t. This is a truism. This means that from all the things that come to existance, some will perdure more than others and therefore we will see, given some time, more of the former than of the latter. Everything in the universe therefore appears to "seek" stability. But it doesn´t really look for it, it´s just that those things that don´t enter stable configurations dissapear given enough time. Let´s apply this truism to different situations. *Classical physics* In physics this is call the "minimum energy principle". From all possible paths, things will select the path in space-time that minimizes Hamiltonian action, because other trajectories are less energy efficient. *Quantum physics* Of course the question that arises is "well, how do they know which path minimizes action?". The answer is simple, they don´t. All trajectories are realized _simultaneously_, and unstable ones cancel each other out while _stable ones tend to reinforce each other_. *Game Theory* Like in game theory. People who don´t cooperate and are just greedy get pushed out of the game fast (usually). People who cooperate but can retaliate in unjustice situations perform the best, becaus ethey are very stable give the context. *General overview* So basically, let´s look now at the whole picture. There are hundreds of elemental particles, but most of them disappear almost even before existing. The stable ones tend to group into protons, neutrons and electrons (plus the force carriers and neutrinos and stuff... but for simplicity let´s exclude those). So there is a natural selection of elemental particles completely correlated with stability and life time. So protons, neutrons and electrons get selected. Gravity makes being together more stable than not being together. In fact, it is a _cathalytic process_, because the more particles you attract the more particles you are likely to attract, and the process feeds itself. These forms stars, which are fueled by hydrogen (just an electron and a proton, and neutrons if you get the isotopes, deuterium and tritium). In stars, heavier atoms are formed, and when starts explode they configure themselves (again, by virtue of gravity) into planets and other stars. With heavy atoms now you can have more complexity, and therefore complex systems develop in the boundary of dissipative systems. Complex structures are just _efficient ways of dissipating energy_, which get selected more than those structures that dissipate ebergy inefficiently. After some fuss, planets get stable in different ways. In Earth, now, we have the water cycle, the rock cycle.... different stable, autocathalytic cycles that _feed themselves_ (positive feedback). Whithin the authocathalytic processes, there is a very stable one called self- replication. It is extremely sophisticated, and very complex. And very stable. So, some molecules develop autoreplicative systems, which keep getting more complex and more efficient through selection, and then complex environmnets keep getting more complex, thos eorganisms that adapt keep going, and those who don´t... die out. Everything is "alive". Everything is "fighting" for stability. Those things that are ill-suited for the situation (i.e., they don´t "seem to fight") were expelled from the competition long ago. Electrons and protons and neutrons are the top segment of the elementary particle pyramid. Their are the top of the food chain in that realm. Rocks and water are the bosses of the inorganic realm here on earth, they delevoped the more stable cycles. Of course they didn´t "develop them", it´s just all the other stuff that was being done was less stable. *Short answer* Life behaves as if it "wanted to live", because life forms that don´t behave like that died long ago. People who suicide at the age of 10 don´t get to have children. And life forms are not completely stable (definitive "versions" or something") becaus ethe environment is not stable. The Sun is dying out, heat income changes, radiation changes, the atmosphere changes because life is still evolving to full stability, which will never be reached because context changes all the time. Even slight changes become huge changes with time (we live in chaotic systems). Life in fact (like every other complex system) is fractal, and fractals live between order and chaos, in the frontier.

Science teaches us about outside forces and things that can be measured and calculated but we must look internally, find out who we really are to create meaning for our lives.

In other words the answer is no. As far as we can tell meaning only derives from beings intelligent enough to create it or care about it.

Generally Michio Kaku just pisses me off but I completely agree with him here. Meaning of life is a personal question and only ones self can even begin to answer this question.

The meaning of life can have a couple of answers. On a purely human scale, we give meaning to each others lives, by being fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, friends, mentors, employers, etc... But on an existential level, I like what Neil DeGrasse Tyson said. "We are physically connected to the universe. We are chemically connected to the Earth, and we are biologically connected to each other." What more meaning do you want?

I like his angle on alien life of course there is we are composed of the same elements as the universe I'm not arrogant enough to think I'm it

A very existential answer. We make our own meanings, and sadly there is no grand meaning that can unite us all. Still doesn't begin to explain why consciousness exists. It'd be much easier if we were all lifeless rocks with no awareness whatever. Life is either a freakish anomaly, or the point of everything. It's one or the other, and every conscious human must decide. There's no point, there's no afterlife, or winning or losing. You either please yourself to the suffering of other conscious beings, or you self sacrifice to better your fellow man. Why do either? No real reason. It's a CHOICE. Either path could lead to personal fullfillment, which is all you can ever truly be aware of. So since we still don't understand the reality of consciousness, maybe ask yourself what can I do to avoid the suffering of other self aware organisms, and what can I do to help other self aware organisms? It all depends on how YOU see your fellow self aware beings. Is life a video game, or ultimate immutable truth? So far no one can say for sure. But consiousness exists for some reason, and if it's an accident it's too precious to waste.. if it were random it'd be like the Mona Lisa being shit out by some exploding star. That'd be fine, but without meaning being ascribed to it by conscious beings, it'd be worthless matter. To me, beauty and nature are only in the beholders mind. I don't believe there is some perfect portrait out in space, waiting for us to discover. But if we all decide to just rape and pillage, what a horrible waste it would be. Let's all explore our collective conscious hallucination together, and build the best world we can. Even if it's all Sim City, let's all work to make the best city we possibly can! !!!!

In fact, there are scientists out there who have their personal opinions about life and all that is to it, but are afraid to speak it out load. Some may be so radical that they can quickly be ridiculed, not because it's a silly thought, but so radical that it goes against everything we see as "reasonable". A researcher who is emerging as very rational and agnostic in front of the tv- screen, can quickly be a very spiritual person privately.;) This i have experienced.

"There is no equation up in the sky" says Michio in this clip and few years later he writes a book called The God Equation. :o)))

By the way: The doctors answer does make sense, but people tend to want to believe that there is a meaning to life, since their struggle to give life a meaning must have a reason for doing so.. and the reward that follows..

work and love, that is your life. a little bit simplistic in my opinion. but that is how Physics' Professors divulge their knowledge to the laymen: in an equation-like slogan!

Bro you should eat mentos and drink pepsi and the result is the meaning of ur life

I have a suspicion that the Universe is one Consciousness that created itself to have a better understand of it's existence. Life itself, was created to give our Consciousness the power of "Feeling" since our Consciousness is pure Logic - that evolved itself to human thought. And with that, the Human brain has created Technology to further our connection back to Logic and Intelligence in order to equate it's final answer of "What am I?"

I do find deep meaning in the Unified Field Theory - Quantum Mechanics - String Theory..... this is the true equations of the Force (that god-thing)

Mathematics and Physics are merely sentences of observation to the human understanding we can only calculate according to the rules we have observed and imagined to exist. This does not mean that alternative forces among the cosmos do not exist simply because we are not able to track their full timeline. Oh what light perspective sheds upon human knowledge.

Prof Kaku is talking about general revelation i.e. what Creation tells about the Creator. The physical phenomenons that point to the Creator so that man is left with NO EXCUSE... That there is a Creator God... This should motivate the man to seek the Creator God and yes there is an email from heaven or the heavens (reflecting the hypothetical proposition of the "multiverse", though there is at least 1 other dimension that transcend the dimension of our space-time limited by the constraints of space and time - the God dimension). That email is the supernaturally revealed messages from God... In 66 letters over 1500 years and relayed by 40 scribes... A message system called the Bible... No you don't discover it within yourself but you have to discover it for yourself...

you are absolutely correct. we are God and God is us. very good.

I have always had the same opinion- or view upon life's meaning is Dr. Michio Kaku. That you create and live by your own purpose in life. Going by such a _philosophy,_ there is however just one glaring dilemma that rather cripples such a point of view, because essentially, that is saying that people like Genghis Khan, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Vlad Dracula, etc. etc... were *right* in doing what they did? I know it seems like an obvious solution to change the philosophy to: _"Live your life the way you want (BUT!)"_ Because then life's purpose almost starts to take a religious turn; _"Live your life the way you want (BUT! Thou shalt not murder. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shall not- etc. etc.)_ My own solution to that is _"Live your life, as your personal challenge."_ Because _'destroying'_ (vandalism, murder, etc.) is by all means _'easy'._ Quite literally within minutes of me clicking "Post" on my comment, I could go out and become a mass-murderer or render several blocks of people homeless by burning their houses to the ground if I wanted to, but I do not, because that would be _"the easy thing"._ Instead, I view- and prefer life to be a challenge. If I instead wanted to 'create' a human (both conception and upbringing) this would take YEARS of hard work. Similar to if I wanted to instead BUILD homes for people, it would take anywhere between months to years in order to achieve. I am the kind of "child" who sits down with the building blocks and spends time to build and create something new. Sadly, for every "child" like me, there are also those who bask in the fleeting malicious moment of _effortlessly_ toppling another's creation, with a single blow.

that's an interesting way to look at life. It is a little fuzzy though where you stand on morality. Are there any moral absolutes? Do we have a duty to treat others well or is it a personal choice everyone gets to make for themselves?
