[Part 1] Frank Wilczek on the Future of Science | Closer To Truth Chats

[@jamesmorgan1063]

This gentle soft spoken form of life is irrefutably the universe's finest attempt to understand itself to date. What a privilege to listen him.

[@mikep333333333]

How humble the great ones are!

[@kathyorourke9273]

I LOVE Frank Wilczek!

[@Mirrorgirl492]

Me too. I feel warm and safe and challenged by his gentle brilliance.

[@youaresomeone3413]

Yes, this is fantastic I really enjoy Frank's brilliance.

[@waryinzero]

I watched it all. Fascinating. I could listen to him talk for even longer.

[@jamesbentonticer4706]

I think he is my favorite overall guest on CTT.

[@CloserToTruthTV]

We were thrilled to be able to interview him right after he won the Templeton Prize.

Another fascinating CTT conversation. Mr. Kuhn, you are brilliant, knowledgeable and have just the right temperament. You are the best at this.

[@habibie]

The man is unbelievable! The ideas are just wonderful! I wish I could understand the world on his level. 😁

Read his books. The latest one, "Fundamentals", explains a lot of physics in a brilliant way. I knew a lot of what he discusses there but he gave me new perspectives on many things.

This was a really great interview...I was glued to the screen the entire time...I appreciate you having him on your show...kudos. On a side note...you couldn't have picked a more prototypical looking guy for being a "scientist" could you....messed up hair, broken glasses that are taped up and keep falling down his nose, a pocket full of pens...I LOVE IT...this man get's it...he doesn't care what people think about him 'cuz he's too busy doing smart stuff ....again, I love it.

[@WayneLynch69]

Richard Dawkins hates the Templeton Prize with the heat of a hundred suns. So it's fun to dissect just one of Dawkins' imbecilic "The God Delusion" statements: On the first page of chapter 4, Dawkins assails brilliant physicist/atheist Fred Hoyle's claim that "life beginning on earth of natural origin is as likely as a hurricane assembling a fully functioning Boeing 747 going through a junkyard". NO says Dawkins, Hoyle fails to recognize the power of natural selection. HOW FN BRAIN DEAD is it possible to be and get paid?! Natural selection NEVER EVER applies to junkyards!! The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics NEVER EVER NOT ONCE allows non-biology to do ANYTHING other than to "disorder". Natural selection applies to biology, ONLY EVER NOT A SINGLE EXCEPTION!! Hurricanes destroy....ONLY! Here's Dawkins sitting mute/deaf/sub-moronic as ACTUAL biologists/chemists ALL, say "it is IMPOSSIBLE humans will EVER know the origin of life". Two Nobel laureates and Craig Venter mapped the human genome. "Life of natural origin" is THE sine qua non of "New Atheism", of which Dawkins is Lord High Executioner; AND YET HE CAN'T EVEN SPEAK WHEN IT'S PRIMA FACIE REPUDIATED TO HIS FACE?!?!?! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnqrfqF6Z6t3m7s

A conversation filled to the brim with ideas

[@andrasvigfreecreation]

For me it raises the question: what standard we use to measure what. Human knowledge is finite and limited which means no real reflection from the side of scientists that how and what they are dealing with but they are creating law like expression how the world works, instead of realizing that they knowledge is only a fragment of the whole picture and should be warn sign how they use their fragmented knowledge to apply to our life.

[@vinyllikes2939]

Very interesting conversation. What I like best about Robert Lawrence Kuhn is his ability to ask pertinent questions without inserting his own ego. If you can bring other great physicists and scientists in this format, with well-segregated sections on each personality's key achievements - as you did with Frank Wilczek. That would be fantastic for us who follow your podcast regularly

[@sailorr4287]

I wonder what you think he has been doing? I admire Robert’s ability to stay abreast of so many topic areas that he has relevant questions for leading edge peeps.

[@vinyllikes2939]

Yes of course he is doing it all his life - chat format with well-defined sections is what I was taking. Apologies if that didn't get conveyed

[@EKDupre]

We're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great.

[@drpangloss6725]

A wonderful discussion!

[@Invideology]

A big question that haunts me & I don’t have an answer to is this, if Robert can find answers to - What happens when you know all the secrets of the world? What would life look like? Would it not be better to stay naive than loose the magic of curiosity?

Re: "Does that mean that 'should' is a subset of 'could'?" - just recently I was watching a video where Tony Blake had asked JG Bennett "What is the original sin?" and Bennett answered: "Not doing what you can do, and trying to do what you cannot do." - it seems to fit nicely with the should and could statement!

and what do you understand that Robert means by truth

[@misterhill5598]

@@chrisbennett6260 there are 2 types of truth: 1. Personal truth. Subjective. Each of us have a personal truth. 2. Universal Truth. Nobody knows. It is beyond human comprehension. What Robert seeks is universal Truth but he is pragmatic enough to know it is impossible So he aimed to get pass personal truth and get "closer" to universal Truth. We find truth from facts. But facts alone are not enough.

[@tonymarshharveytron1970]

Hello Profrssor Wilczek, once again the problems that keep alluding us has cropped up once more in your video. With respect, may I make some suggestions which may give cause for constructive cosideration. ' Dark Matter ', an incredibly small Negatively charged monopole particle, called a ' Harveytron ', that fills every available empty space in the atom and every available empty space throughout the universe, forming a cloud. The presence of this ' Harvetron cloud ', is what provides a medium in which all electromagnetic radiation and gravittional waves can propogate and travel through space. The force exerted by these particle trying to repel each other in every direction is the ' Dark energy '. ' Dark Energy ', is the force that is causing the universe to expand. It is also one of the forces of gravity, which I believe is a force of both attraction and repulsion in an interplay between positive and negative particles. I believe that there exists only two fundamental particles that make up everything that exists in the universe, The negatively charged monopole ' Harveytron ' particle, and a corresponding positively charged monopole called a ' Dannytron '. In combination, these two particles make up all of the atomic nuclei, everything else are soley the negatively charged particles. These particles may turn out to be impossible to detect at the present time, because they are so small. They are are so small that I believe that all of the particles making up the nucleus of the atom are composites of these particles. I am happy to explain more if you are interested. Kind regars Tony Marsh.

You can't tell me that the tape on his glasses and pen/pencil pocket protector are not there intentionally. No way.

I was wandering about the tape too. Reminds me of my first broken glasses when I was young and had no time and money to buy new ones 👀😂

[@disguisedangel2394]

I don’t dispute the expansion of the universe but if space has no gravity and it’s gravity that groups together all the mass out there , planets , galaxies, suns , black holes all the objects out there then as the universe expands and the distances between galaxies and stuff become larger and gravity plays less and less a part than of course the expansion would speed up but it didn’t just start from nothing.

[@davidrandell2224]

Let’s talk about 50/50 chances. The released object is approaching the earth or is the earth approaching the released object. Time immemorial the first has passed for knowledge: gravity. Yet the latter is correct. Galilean relative motion has the earth approaching- expanding at 16 feet per second per second constant acceleration (d=1/2at^2 part of the gravity equation)- the released object.

Frank has interesting ideas, this reminds me of a tentioned spring coming back to is origanal position when realesed because it has a memory.Our mids run clockwise so its not that intuitive to think that a partical can run anti clockwise. But quantum mechanics is not that intuitive.Does God play dice or is the universe deterministic?

Everything in the universe appear as energy and forces or beauty, all of which do not exist except for our sensual feelings of heat, touch and visual color respectively. In reality all that exist is mysterious emergent fields at all levels.
