Hey Lex earlier you invited people from different religions like Islam and Christianity, why don't you invite someone from Indic Religions like Hinduism, Buddhism(including Tibetean, Zen), Sikhism, Jainism or from other asian philosophies like Shintosim etc. For Hinduism(specifically Adwaita Vedanta) you can invite Swami Sarvapriyananda, for Buddhism someone of Zochekchen Buddhism etc.

This is honestly the first scientist I have came across that I can really understand what he is saying. I am obsessed with space and everything that has to do with it. In 2.5 hours this man has single handily influenced me to learn far more than I already do, to download his books and to consume as much content as I possibly can inside of his podcast. Truly inspired here. What a wonderful guest. Would love to meet him myself and pick his brain for hours. What an interesting and intelligent human being you have brought onto this podcast.

Check out "The Biggest Ideas in the Universe" - KZbin series in which Sean explains everything in modern physics beginning essentially from scratch. It is all targeted at the layman, someone with no technical background and yet he is able to cleanly disseminate the essence of what is going on without drowning in scientific nomenclature OR getting lost in the vagueness of abstraction. For anyone who wanted to understand what "quantum mechanics" (or other technical topics) was all about, but was too afraid - this is for you.

Total legend. He is for sure the one “science communicator” that I distinctly remember always being exciting for me to listen to. Definitely got me hooked on these topics, as a layperson not involved in these fields. He can engage really well at a sort of “low res” level, knowing what will help get an average audience to begin thinking about these things. But, he can also get so much deeper and show off his chops without making it entirely impenetrable, which is definitely a skill outside of the science itself. Granted, I don’t claim to understand a lot of the deeper complex stuff 😂 but, at a minimum I can start imagining how he and others think about these things, hopefully over time grasping some of these things without actually practicing the math haha

@@ghost9-9ghost Q would destroy Dr. Manhattan with a finger snap
@ghost9-9ghost7 ай бұрын
@norcalpacific hmm...I have to say I think Q and Manhattan are pretty equally.matched....Manhattan proved that he can reassemble himself even IF destroyed....and he knows the future so he would anticipate Q snapping him out of existence....and make a protective adjustment. However....Q wins the charisma and fun part....I loved that character.

Several? What was so complex or difficult to grasp that you couldn't absorb it the first time? I got bored and couldn't finish the first round. Sing song speak about nothing new with an overabundance of smug is not my definition of a good time.

@@dom6512 We are in sync. Consider also the following, that I experimented with a person (though on other matters - not this scitainment, but general infotainment): "You've been watching this and think that you learned something? Then please try to write down at least some rows of what you've learned." This is the only way to recover some people from the cognitive derail where they think they learn / grasp something.

@@voltydequa845 More than what people may learn from it, what did they agree with? What did they challenge, and why? I listen to podcasts as a mental exercise. Sometimes I learn new things, sometimes I challenge what I hear and sometimes, I adapt my understanding. Most don't have a clue of the content they listen to and think simply listening makes them smart somehow. They have no grasp on how these topics apply to reality.

@@dom6512 Agree. As for learning vs challenging , mine "... that you learned something" applies to both. It is an euphemism out of the need to not be rude by explicitly saying that the person (dear to us) is not able to understand, that is beyond his/her possibility, be it because rhetorically decorated hot air, or be it because too complex from the cognitive and/or intellectual pov. To make it short I resort to concepts of Protagora's "Man is a measure of all things" and Plato's cave expressed indirectly - there's no whatever cognitive value if you cannot grasp it for whatever reason (from Protagoras), and it is a vaste of time trying to get in sync with foreign cognitive domains (from Plato). When it comes to relativity, the recital by carapace and their parroting public, it is beyond grotesque. I was surprised to find that I was in sync with what Tesla was saying about all this. Yes, as in Erasmus' In Praise of Folly when he speaks about the illusions.

Unlike religion, this is actually dealing with reality. It's not a religion, it's man's search for truth (rather than a truth already packaged and given to us from the ancients).

Read the Qur'an... God keeps asking you to think... and get convinced of truth... in other words, discover the truth... God also mentions covers that can obstruct seeing obvious things. Why are we stuck in other people's boxes trying to understand God's message to us?!

I do this too... once. The basis if I'm tired I will go to sleep. If I'm not then I will learn something. I had some really disturbing dreams a few nights in a row and concluded it was due to a pod cast on police investigating the dark Web. So God only knows what I'm capable of with allowed this subconscious learning.
