Seeing Further: Searching for the Echoes of Creation
Ғылым және технология
Nobel Laureate John Mather joins Brian Greene for an in-depth discussion of evidence establishing the big bang as well as recent observations of the James Webb Space Telescope raising questions for this very theory of cosmic creation.
Mather delivered this year's "On the Shoulders of Giants" address, honoring the generations of groundbreaking scientists furthering Newton's observation that “If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” With this discussion, the World Science Festival invites audiences to stand on the shoulders of a modern-day giant, John Mather.
This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation.

I’m a 65yr old man who had a stroke 2 yrs ago and has been diagnosed with Vascular dementia. Although I have never had any science education as such, I am totally addicted to this channel. The WSF is an amazing help to my recovery, by educating and explaining these topics in an a way that communicates the principles in a brilliant easy to understand way. Kudos to Brian Greene and the team 👏👏

I have enjoyed listening to WSF for months now. I even put on my bluetooth earbuds and let it teach me until I fall asleep. I have always loved science, wanted to be a biologist at one time! I took all science except physics…shame on me….here I can play catch up from that silly mistake long ago! Enjoy science its Gods mastery, the more we learn the better we are!!!

Awesome guest. It is becoming rarer and rarer for people to actually listen to questions and directly answer them. So many use any question as an excuse to just start talking about what they want. As usual Green asks the right questions to get answers that intend to fill the gaps between what a knowledgeable audience know and what is realistically understandable.

Greene is a genius at interviewing. All the right questions and not a single unnecessary word. What a goldmine of information Mather is. All of his answers were interesting and clearly expressed. What an exciting life he has been living. Big puzzle: why not a Nobel prize for adaptive optics? I would never have guessed it would work.
John Mather is one of the best science communicators I've heard. I could not find many videos on KZread that he has done but he sure is a treasure!

Wow! I’ve watched two presentations now, and there hasn’t been a word of politics or propaganda!
Would love to know what they have to say about the more recent theories regarding life possibly being intrinsic to the universe
Brian your nudges make your interviewees connect well with your wide ranged audience.
Great discussion, large contributions all start with ideas and persistence!
Thank you both very much for sharing those conversation, John sounds like an interesting character, and a little stubborn, he was able to see his dreams realized in his lifetime, and have a place in the future, not bad young fella, thank you both again John and Brian, peace

Excellent video, thank you!
So pleased that all the hard work has paid off and is continuing to pay off for those who worked on JWST.
This was so easy to watch. Really wonderfull experience for us internet astronomers. Thanks so much for this one John and Brian!!!

Wow 52:30, 👀JWST launch practice utilized a 'digital twin' computer simulation of outer space, like a 🌌holodeck 🌌
This interview is brilliant. I simply can't figure out if they are ignoring the screen or if it was edited in afterwards. I'm kinda leaning to afterwards because Images appear just before he mentions the person or the item coming up in the background.
Stories like this one make me proud to be human. Science is the best antidote to politics.
Of course I had heard before about the cmb and no one on the planet could miss the Webb. I never knew before the role of this man in all of that. Genius.
When someone really understands what they're talking about, they can present it is terms anyone can understand. That's the case here. Two very brilliant scientists.
Fascinating
Very informative discussion, I have a question: the images of stars and galaxies we see through JWST today are of very distant past? How those stars and galaxies look today, do they exist or not we don’t know!
New Balance sneakers should sign John Mather for their commercials. He's a rock star!
Always a pleasure to listen to your channel. I learn a lot and appreciate the way it's done (bienveillance in French but can't translate it) one of my best channel M. Green so thanks to you and your team for upgrading my knowlege with kindness and in a way i find it interesting, warm, easy to understand. Thank you to all of you
Fascinating discussion.
Brian and John would you agree that the experimental physics is quite due it's quantum leap forward as has been done in the think tanks of mathematics and the magic of error correction coding or do you feel a generation will have to re-write the definition of gravity altogether to birth unified field theory and all the perks of keeping coherent quantum computing?

Just amazing, thank you and looking forward to more.
Entropy is a spectrum. Highest entropy is the final disorder which includes the infinite complexity and infinite symmetry. The transition between the two is the arrow of time. Infinite complexity is finite. If I may use the analogy of, when an unstoppable force (time) collides with immovable object (singularity), we observe to the best we can, a Big Bang (White Hole) erupting its content into time from infinite symmetry restarting the cycle towards infinite complexity.

Brian Greene and John Mather are spectacularly good in conversation together and such brilliant scientists and great men ..it made me a little sad to hear John Mather say the scientific life of JWST will be longer than they expected and perhaps as long as twenty years and it is more than likely that he may not be around by then ..tragedy that such amazing human beings have to die we coukd do with people like him sticking around and Brain Greens of course ..great great men
John is an inspiration
"Because They Are Hard". Remminds me if big mountain riding when I was boarding hard.
Surprising. Let's look for some more beyond the universe.
Can someone explain to me how the universe can have a finite age and yet be infinite in size? Thanks.
Do they have a green screen or an actual display behind them? Surely green screen right.
If life ain't out there :it's an "awful waste of space", I for one believe the universe is richer than our imagination.

One possible explanation that would explain the Asymmetry would be if the BB was result of the collision between two pre-existing Universes one being comprised entirely of Normal matter and the other entirely Anti-Matter in which there were fewer Anti-Matter Particles Than there were in the NM Universe. So since the The fact that there was less AM Particles in the AM Universe than there were NM Particles in the NM Universe would explain the Asymmetry we see today giving rise to the disappearance of the AM.
