The Conway Memorial Lecture 2016 with Lawrence Krauss. Chaired by A. C. Grayling.
This is how the story of the greatest intellectual adventure in history should be introduced - how humanity reached its current understanding of the universe, one that is far removed from the realm of everyday experience. Krauss connects the world we know with the invisible world all around us, which is removed from intuition and direct sensation. He explains our current understanding of nature and the struggle to construct the greatest theoretical edifice ever assembled, the Standard Model of Particle Physics -- and then to understand its implications for our existence.
[This talk was filmed at Conway Hall, London, in 2016]

[@EchadLevShtim]

Its not a very in depth study really. He sounds more like a History of Science Professor. What he seems to miss is explaining and visualizing example. A good one is where he says we see 3D in 4D. This can be easily described by only viewing what is relative to position. You can only see 2 to 3 sides of a cube shaped building at one time, but if the mind and position wasnt bound, we would perceive the opposing view. Visual Artists have been spanning this distance since the dawn of time, which hardwires neurons. Other paths of study can build Algorithmic patterns such as Music Theory and brain teasers. Those who begin seeing what is a crossplatform of sensory input(Synesthesia) can expand these brain centers, which reveal a complexity the subconscious can expose that shows an understanding beyond our conscious interpretations. But this guy tries to pin it down mathematically and takes the spirit out.

[@ingvarhallstrom2306]

It's only a miracle if you believe this universe is the first and only one. If you believe in a cyclic universe, then there has been endless iterations before us, perhaps all with slightly different physical properties. Endless iterations that for a multitude of reasons perhaps didn't exist for long or folded because the properties of mass reversed or life didn't evolve in them. We only see it as a miracle because this is the only reality we know of.

I don't see it that way. It's not arrogance - we're not special - we're just different because we're so curious. The universe doesn't need us. It managed perfectly well before we showed up and won't miss us when we're gone. Krauss's tongue-in-cheek point is that it's never nice to be taken for granted. Unlike the hydrogen, rocks, oceans, daffodils and cockroaches that the universe produced before us, humans are a species that's prepared to compliment it on its new hairstyle and ask it how it's feeling. It's spent thousands of millions of years producing natural wonders, marvels, horrors and weird phenomena, all of which, as far as we know, have been completely ignored. How very rude... 🤭

1:22:11 I just love it when people like this guy start drawing conclusions out of things they don't remotely understand. "The light speed limit is just bollocks, obviously... because If two objects are on a collision course at 3/4C, then their combined speed must be 1.5C, duh..." It exemplifies Krauss' icicle analogy/the allegory of the cavern beautifully: thick people have trouble understanding what's not immediately apparent, and they end up denying it. This guy can only think in Newtonian terms, so he assumes that anything beyond Newtonian physics must be rubbish...because, obviously, if he can't understand something, then NOBODY can, ^^. It must be sad for him, denying all sorts of stuff just because he can't figure them out... and I bet he still thinks he's a genius, ^^ So we are in a relativistic situation, we have two objects moving at 3/4C towards each other. First off, we need to specify a frame of reference, we can choose between being inside one of those objects or being an external observer. An external observer will see the two objects moving at 3/4C towards each other, so there's no mystery there, case closed. The interesting bit comes when we enter either object's frame of reference. From that perspective, we aren't moving at all (assuming constant speed and direction), it's the rest of the world that's rushing by us at 3/4C. Now the guy will say "and since the other object is moving 3/4C relative to the external observer, that means that it's 0.75C + 0.75C = 1.5C, duh" Well, nope. The mistake is applying Newtonian physics, just adding together V1+V2 and be done with it. As Krauss explained, every observer has a twisted space-time perspective, dependant on position and relative speed. Space contracts/time dilates the faster you go (according to other frames of reference), so it's not as simple as V1+V2 = PV. It's actually more like (V1 + V2) / 1 + (V1 x V2) = Perceived Velocity (if the other object is moving towards you). In this particular case: V1 = 0.75C V2 = 0.75C So let's apply the equation and see what's the actual perceived velocity from each object's frame of reference. (0.75 + 0.75) / 1 + (0.75 x 0.75) = 1.5 / 1.5625 = 0.96C There you go, less than 1C. There's more than one way of getting this kind of result, but the fundamentals are the same: space and time contract and dilate, the faster you go, so kiss Newtonian assumptions goodbye, they are only approximations that just don't work at relativistic speeds. Now you could say that this is just a dishonest equation designed so speeds which should amount to a number greater than 1, end up giving a result smaller than 1. And I would agree with you...except for the fact that equations like this one actually work when put to the test...they actually describe how the physical world behaves, Newtonian equations, on the other hand, fail at relativistic speeds. You can actually use relativistic equations to calculate mundane speeds too, they'll give you even more accurate results than Newtonian equations.

[@markrichter2053]

His illustration served to make me feel that there are perspectives and personal realities based on our individual perspectives. They’re not really an illusion as such, just a limited view of reality, a definition of reality from our own perspective. That’s why curiosity is so important for science, to get us to m wonder what’s beyond our own horizon. “The illusion of design is an accident” This is an atheist fantasy rather than a scientific theory. The danger of taking physics into the realm of philosophy is that we use it to create new religions every day that suit our own fantastic imagination. It tells us something about our inner desires, but sheds very little light on the true nature of reality. The fact that matter and the universe as we know could blink put of existence in a moment should cause us to be filled with wonder that our existence is so improbable, potentially ephemeral and apparently accidental; that so much order and beauty has arisen out of apparently nothing doesn’t mean to me that life and the universe are meaningless. It means to me that they’re incredibly miraculous and that our existence is providential. It adds meaning to our existence rather than removing it.

+Dante integra Red, Convers Chuck Taylors. Probably the most famous, or the most known shoe, of all shoes a cross the world. It all started in Malden Massachusetts waay back at 1908. n.n

Converse - Inverse - Universe .. hee hee

[@1035pm]

MsRandomPro hell yeah... Iv had countless pairs in my life of all colours.

[@worfoz]

I heard it used to be the popes' privilege to wear red shoes.

About the Van Gogh painting:That is painted in a style that Van Gogh invented called expressionism. Vincent Van Gogh invented figurative expressionism.

In the high desert in california areas the sky looked like that on holloween night it was very much like that. Not as blue but was very much like that.

[@MrThatguy1984]

The lecture is good dont get me wrong, but if you dont know why something is why call it an accident, I'd rather just say its unknown.

[@daniloonuk]

can not say it unknown, you are here and also can not call it accident, we all come to ˝an end˝ accident or not - problem is you think you are not conscientous like gods and spooky ghosts, but you are and that is hope for me too, to go do what i will do in next hour

[@michael4506]

I was wondering why he had running shoes on. He is only physicist I have ever seen (seen them all) who runs across stage! Bravo! And to the poor fellow who asked the simple question about two objects closing on each other at 75% speed light breaking light speed... Professor didn't give full explanation... you need some foundation on this elementary topic in gen relativity. You can find great breakdowns on KZbin!

[@rachendrapyakurel9143]

Michael Robert They were closing in 75% of speed of light, then they must have speached the Maximum speed limit before contact.

[@kevinstokes3081]

If we know that there are things we don’t know then how can you come to the conclusion it’s all by accident? The truth is, we don’t know and never will know. We only will make more discoveries and more speculation as time goes on.

[@u2kimbow]

If you disagree with "it's an accident", then what is YOUR conclusion?

[@crangonvulgaris9820]

some do know and all will know.......eventually

[@chararuggiero9367]

It's already there, it depends on the observer and his perception of measurement for a description.

That actually ended up being the point...

+Last 2 - when you don't have a brain, it's unlikely you'll ever get the point. Get the point?

[@HotCrossJuns]

The point is that so many of the discoveries made in the field of physics would sound like mythical stories if they were not demonstrably true. Krauss is arguing that while many people consider science to be boring, scientific explanations of the universe are actually more fascinating than the religious explanations that many of us cling to. That's his thesis anyway. The rest of the lecture serves as evidence/examples of interesting scientific discoveries throughout history that prove his thesis.

[@red2blackprofits]

Well I am having a hard time with the accident of existence. Science knows that tests collapse upon observation. This doesn't take into accountabout our conscious energy. Do we live in a matrix? Absolutely for me one of intelligent design.

[@crangonvulgaris9820]

Hi, Pamela Weir, I agree with you. For me, the most comprehensive and compelling model of consciousness which encompasses the nature of our shared reality was produced by Tom Campbell kzbin.info

[@red2blackprofits]

@@omnigma Yes it is a test of human consciousness in freewill. I get that. That goes back to intelligent design. not accidental reality I was referring to the scientific "test" being altered by the observer doing the scientific test. Waves collapse into form upon observation. Quantum Physics.

[@ingebrecht]

The most important answer you can ever get from someone is, I don't know. When you hear that answer and someone makes a decision and takes actions that are based from that information it is most generally going to be wrong beyond a dunkards walk by several orders of magnitude directly peoportional to the degree that those actions effect you. I figured this out when I was ten when I learned of my grandfather's experiences in WW1 noting that my father was drafted into WW2 wasn't 1 bad enough?

[@ZohrehSAL]

Hello, Thank you very much for your vidéo. Is it possible de keep observing with out jugement? As is the end of life. As I have follow your analyses, you are Just Right to point out your expériences & your discoveries and what you have acheived so far. up to that moment. Life, and it's wisdom carry on... I am convinced that we are here for the raison eventhought, the majorités Still have not discover it yet. I do believe strongly, that our paths have changed . As we may state all kind of creziness & manipulations we are living in every période of lives. = social engineering = robotising human family ?! How this caste will allow human family to learn some thing from thier own life expérience? ! I am sure that we are here to discover our True Nature. I suppose every human being is Unique. & it is simply dépend on the lèvel of conciousness & awareness. With GRATITUDE & Recognition.

It's sad to be caught in a bubble with no exit.

To make it worse would be to say that no one gets out alive.

[@abistonservices9249]

Laurance Krauss is exitable, but he knows his stuff, he is exitable because of how far we have advanced in the 21st century and want's us all to realise what he can realise.

[@edyburkay]

If i re-arrange the electrons in alpha centauri, does it break the entanglement? Cuz if not, can i not just build 2 entangled machine in large distance to each other, and change the arrangement of electrons in one and read opposite as a code.

[@schmetterling4477]

Nobody of importance claims that entanglement changes anything. :-)

This is great speech! But because the feet attract all the attention I propose for Conway Hall to commission a pair of emergency shoes in case a speaker arrives in red converse snickers in the future :)

"hey guys im here to talk about science....DRUMPF AM I RIGHT!?!"

[@danwic]

Trump is always worth a mention because he - like many right-wingers - struggles to understand science and often misrepresents it

[@c.h.2392]

@@danwic like Pelosi running around hair salons without a mask and telling people to go visit China Town because COVID isnt real? Or like Trump getting roasted for citing the CDC? A lot of people, myself included obviously, clicked on this video to hear what a scientist had to say about science, not Trump. Objectivity is the entire foundation of the scientific method. As soon as you need to resort to political rhetoric and partisanship to get academic/liberal street cred, your value as a scientist is discredited. Look at Bill Nye
