🧠Talk to the Universe’s Brightest Minds🧠
Every week I provide you with long-form interviews with a brilliant thought-leader or a deep-dive into a fascinating STEM subject.
I'm the Chancellor's Distinguished Professor of Physics at UC San Diego where my team & I study the origin & evolution of space, time, & matter.
Scientists are obligated to explain their work in simple terms to non-experts. I think scientifically and I will teach you how to, too.
I wrote INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE & LOSING THE NOBEL PRIZE, which was selected as a 'Best Science Book' at Science Friday and one of the best non-fiction books of all time according to Amazon.
I'm on a mission to magnify curiosity, stoke imagination, & inspire minds of all ages.

One of the most self evident reasons there’s no free will is that we don’t choose what our brain comprehends or understands. And if in every moment of your life from the cradle to the grave you use your brain’s understanding to determine what next action you take, then you are fated by your own DNA and circumstance. You’re just along for the ride and a witness to experiencing what happens when the biology you woke up in encounters different environments. You will either understand this and it will make sense to you or it won’t…even though there’s a choice for you to understand what I’ve written you don’t get to choose whether you actually understand it and there’s no free will in that.
You got to have time to build a clock 🤔
I hope Joe was just staying professional there, because a man just gave him a piece of Mars and he didn't even say Thank you
Why dont they say they dont know they cant ever know And more so the question shouldn't have been asked as no answer exist
The solution to this problem has been suppressed, even ID proponents discount it but Richard Feynman and Carl Sagan took it seriously. Is there a "message" from God in pi? As Sagan said any message, structure with meaning, that on the one hand can be proven that it SHOULD NOT be there but on the other hand proven that it is there, embedded in a transcendental number would be absolute proof of God. Feynman pointed out the Feynman Point in pi, 6 consecutive 9s (or 0s depending on how you define your 9s) that SHOULD NOT be there but not complex enough to prove they are a "message" but significant to form plausible hypothesis that a message might exist in pi. Feynman also called the Fine Structure Constant the writing of God into the cosmos such that we don't understand how it could be possible. Sagan again agreed and included knowledge of the Fine Structure Constant would be one of the first expectations of a message SETI might receive from an Extra Terrestrial Intelligence AND included a message in pi in the finale of his novel CONTACT explaining it's significance to the issues Steven Meyer is raising. If Feynman and Sagan could consider each other serious about their proposals why should we not take seriously anyone who takes up the quest? As Sagan said in CONTACT is it because the message might be written in Hebrew letters? Why did he say that? Because aside from the Feynman point, the numbers 3-1-4 are the Hebrew letters G-O-D. Even taken together those aren't proof but if they made Feynman and Sagan suspicious shouldn't we be likewise?
If only Wolfram could talk. All respect,
Science is always provisional .
He never minced words.
Explain 33 synchronization events then …
Only "nothing" is impossible!
I suppose we shouldn't say that something is impossible, but sometimes the likelihood of a thing is so low that it's reasonable to treat it as impossible. Take Quantum Field Theory (QFT) for example. It tells us what we and our natural world are made of (mostly quarks and electrons), and what interacts with those things. After the last two or three decades of testing in particle accelerators, we know beyond reasonable doubt that there are no god, devil, soul, ghost or spirit forces, fields or particles (vibrating fields) interacting with the stuff we and our natural world are made of. Is it still possible that gods, devils and whatnot interact with us? Quantum mechanics is all about probabilities. As I understand it, the chance that there are supernatural forces or fields interacting with us is about the same as the likelihood that a living, breathing, full sized T-Rex dressed in a tutu, is going to manifest in your dining room next Thurs at exactly 3:06 AM. QM says it could happen, but it also says, "don't wait up." So is it impossible for a T-Rex to manifest in that way? I think we can safely refer to it as impossible. However, I can see one way for some god to be interacting with us, and that's if QFT is an illusion, a deception, a canard, a magic trick, a lie. This would mean every physics experiment ever performed gave the wrong answer, because the correct answer is God-Magic. Perhaps angels actually do escort the planets along their orbital path in a fashion that coincidentally and exactly matches the calculations from physics. As far as the god of the bible, the book says in at least three places that its god can not lie. This option makes either the bible or its god, a liar. Gods might somehow exist outside space and time, but if one created our universe, for some odd reason it gave it rules that don't permit it to participate, unless the whole thing is an illusion.
I consider consciousness to be a 6th sense, in that it is various parts of the brain perceiving various other parts of the brain.
This can't work without CQG and the mounting evidence is showing that GR and QM can't be united. So which came first the chicken or the egg if neither can be an emergent property in two independent systems that could not have emerged from one source beginning from the Schwartzchild radius. Without a correct unified field theory you can't show why anything functional could or should emerge.
If there are 9 spatial dimensions and 1 time dimension, then I can imagine that there may be 3 domains of space, each consisting of 3 space dimensions, and 1 dimension of time that they all have in common. Each of these domains would contain one of the 3 families of elementary particles, with our domain having the lightest of the families.
SO much misinformation here; These ONLY confirmed that the ways that the first universes formed are different from what we know- AND that the Big Bang could have not happened making the universe infinite(time), OR that MORE THAN ONE Big Bang happened. It did not just “disprove” the Big Bang, It raise questions but a Christian physicist who desperately wants to disprove the Big Bang is violently spreading this misinformation.
Explaining ANYTHING without reasonable explanation, without bulletproof logic, without objective evidence, as if it were scientifically sound, IS dangerous. Not everyone is a scientist. Not everyone will question everything, not everyone will question the word of authority (as all scientists by definition must). I said “question”, not “challenge”. And with what we currently understand about reality is that the multiverse theory was created (not discovered) with the added benefit that it would theoretically explain the nature of light and other phenomena that seem to exist in two different forms at the same time. Yet, those who came up with this theory are working with an incredibly naive lack of understanding. It’s simply guessing at this stage. Dangerous and unscientific.
Well why do we think the universe is expanding when we know that the universe is 250 times the size of the observable universe. These all seem like pretentious pontifications. I'll add that we have only been able to observe this sector from one point also. What we see as the expansion could easily be an optical illusion and simply a current in the sea of the heavens so to speak. Also public consensus doesn't even know for sure what gravity is, nor light, or magnetism. They simply make wild guesses based on the particle fallacy and make things up to fit their narrative as to how these things work but can only observe and measure the transfer of kinetic energy from point a to b. They can't explain how something operates or what it is. You may feel tempted to say im wrong but if you understand the origin of these theories and break them down you'll find most of it to be nonsense. Some things are close but get clouded by bias and attachment to illogical theories that have great preachers behind them.
This is of course rubbish. He says all the matter was contained in a small object. The object cannot be small or of any size unless there is space around it that is NOT it to define the size of the object. That space IS the universe, and it’s infinite and eternal. The universe has always been.
Smoking in the boys room!!
Thanks you we proud of you all 👅💋
I salute you.frim algeria. 💝🐱
Rules no. 1: Never apologize if you hurt a Trumpie's feelings.
Superb summarization of the state of modern physics in 12 minutes. Very understandable and informative.
Glad it was helpful!
“Every piece of matter in the universe as we know it was at the same spot”. Maybe I am reading it wrong but that does not sound right. Yes all matter came from the BB but not in a form as we know it?
Surely being a B version JRE is much more lucrative than being an actual lifelong academic. The recipe is maid, just start a podcast w/ fake ass pseudo science bros.
The best evidence for God..........look in the mirror...... your mere existence is all the proof you need
Is this another re upload ya never know with this guy meh 😑
based on recorded history the world is no older then 10 000 years
Nick Bostrom knows pretty well that if artificial consciousness cannot be created and verified his simulation hypothesis becomes a failure.
Yet again, I have to leave this episode to listen to an excellent author after watching the first few mins bcs the way BK's elongated way of wording questions... that's one of the reasons few subscribe his channel
Until we have independent verification that the red shift is caused by expanding space (ie recessional velocities) we ahould keep the BB theory as a potential model and consider other models. We had observed before JWST that the farther the object the greater the red shift. That is not new. But what we do not know is if this red shift is really caused by recessional velocities. One thing that JWST was not able to confirm was that the optical illusion that you should see in expanding space is not present. Which puts into question the expanding space model.
Fun fact in “The Book of Enoch” Enoch mentions 10 heavens or 10 dimensions
I do have an idea for a Ph.D. involving part of this. Working in getting an HPC built and need to work on building up my mathematics skills to a point I can create the simulations I want to work. From what I can tell is we can consider Time the Zero (0) dimension. Then when we look at other dimentions when we say something such as 2D we aren't including time and assume it's assumed. From a rudimentary level it does seem we are in 4 dimentions plus time (so if you include time then that makes 5 dimentions). The interesting part is how to fit in the forces and when he was talking about compacting forces. I do think the way in which he mentions the forces compacted together are incorrect. I'm not really going to elaborate too much on that since it's a theory. I will say String theory to me feels like you are observing the outline of a 3D object from a 2D shadow. You are observing the edges yet not the content. Also strings and lines canot be fundamental if you take time to think about it. Take an infinitesimally small point and how would you prescribed all the dimentions to that point without it becoming a line or string or any other single or multidimensional object? If you think I gave away my theory then you have multiple steps to get to that point. I'm just trying to bring to light the primary flaw in string theory in that it is not fundamental. It has an infinite number of points along the structure in multiple dimensions. The latest part I've been considering are the Plank numbers. I realized at one point that might be the part I was overlooking and requires some further investigation. Originally I would have proposed a certain number of dimentions, then that changed, there was a third change and with that third change things started to make sense. I just need to work on rebuilding my math skills. Sometimes when I look back at my education in mathematics, I realize I was missing a lot and that's what frustrates me the most. We need some better teachers in grade school and find ways to engage with students much sooner and find ways to make math more relevant and not miss a lot of the sections of math I later found were completely absent from my education.
Stop saying “disproven”. It’s “disproved”.
who the hell is this idiot!!!!!!
Wait, how do you find the north star in the southern hemisphere though?
