Paul Davies - Why the Cosmos?

[@desperateastro]

Paul Davies is the ultimate Wild Man of Science. He takes what is observed and all of the existing confirmed scientific theories, and then he logically extrapolates them into the unknown. The conclusions of this extraordinary thinker may (or may not!) turn out to be wrong; but a brave person must venture in thought from the known into the unknown!

[@weshard1]

He hit the nail on the head, at the end. Are we able to comprehend realty, with our evolved brains, that aren’t built to do so?

[@papa515]

Brilliant, and spot on. As we dig deeper into this very line of reasoning we will inevitably come away with a deeper and deeper understanding of how mentation works and will as a consequence be able to go further. I totally agree with professor Davies about being optimistic about all this.

Great episode from a great series. But in this one (as in some others) the sound volume is too LOW.

1. If there is no existence at all, then there would be literally nothingness. So, existence is needed. 2. What good is existence without a consciousness to experience it with? So, consciousness is needed. 3. If consciousness is not truly eternally consciously existent, then it would cease to exist one day of which then did it matter that it even ever existed at all in the first place? Who eternally too? So, eternal conscious existence is needed. 4. What good even is an actual eternal conscious existence without choices? Not even a choice in what to think about? So, choices are needed. This set-up allows certain states of existence to occur. By closing off certain areas from the main, other states of existence could "be". 1. Exist, conscious, eternal, choices. (Basically the "God" level, what could be considered the "main"); By closing off areas of "God": 2. Exist, conscious, eternal, no choices. (Possibly "God's" delegates); 3. Exist, conscious, not eternal, choices. (Where humans appear to be at as well as other conscious species in existence, unless we truly do have an actual eternal conscious existence somehow, someway, somewhere, in the "main", level one, state of existence); 4. Exist, conscious, not eternal, no choices. (Seems like this would really suck, consciously exist with no choices. But hey, it's not for eternity.); 5. Exist, not conscious, eternal, no choices (by default). (Possibly where things like pure energy are at); 6. Exist, not conscious, not eternal, no choices. (Possibly things like vegetation). There may be more, this is just some of the ones I could readily see.

Charles Brightman Brilliant Charles!!

Sound is slightly muted.

I really like Paul Davies

[@pekkar4460]

Me too. Paul Davies dares to ask some hard questions. One example like where do the physic laws come from. Most physicists would just say "laws just pre exist don't worry about it" Also Davies studied lot of extraterrestial life topic and has good theoris about it.

[@hmdshokri]

good summarizing of all ultimate questions!

[@iainmacbeth4543]

The superbrain ( Deep Thought ) that Paul speculates about has already done it's calculations. The ultimate answer as everyone knows is 42 !

[@TheBruces56]

The argument always comes back to the concept of a "Source" or a first cause. You can call it God or anything else. The true nature of reality is what it is and it doesn't matter how much we speculate, that won't change.

[@TheGreatAlan75]

This notion of without consciousness the universe doesn't exist is just fucking stupid. It's known the universe was here LONG before conscious beings turned up on Earth. We know this objectively. Stop with that idiotic idea

[@BradHolkesvig]

These liars will tell you anything to keep their positions in life. All they have to do is listen to My Voice and obey all My commandments and they will learn how they were created along with all their experiences from their viewpoint.

[@BradHolkesvig]

***** If you listen to the Voice of God, you will learn how you were created. There is no shame when you know the Truth.

[@BradHolkesvig]

***** Everyone hears voices in their consciousness without realizing they do. They think they're hearing voices from the mouths of the bodies they observe in their world but it's all heard within their conscious mind that is totally invisible to man. The Voice of God connected with the prophets and us saints by speaking directly in our minds to get our attention. This is known as "Faith". Only us saints and prophets understand what faith means. Those who listen to our gospel ( the Voice of God ) and believe the knowledge that comes from our mouths are chosen by God to listen and believe some or all of what the Voice is telling them. Psychiatrists have no clue how we were created and they have never heard My Voice in their minds. This is why they believe that the people who hear voices in their minds are mentally challenged. This is why there are so many people drugged out of their minds today.

[@BradHolkesvig]

Lelouch Di Britannia Every Christian and other religious person on this earth also support theism but none of them know Me, the Voice of God unless they were chosen to listen to Me and believe the knowledge that comes forth from it. I have tried contacting many of these people that are being interviewed by this man who is seeking the Truth but not one of them knows Me or has any idea of how we were created. Therefore, every single person in these videos are nothing but liars who are lying to each other because they do not know how they were created or know for sure that there is a Creator.

[@BradHolkesvig]

***** You are listening to the wrong voices who you believe have special knowledge. You have no idea that the information they are fed in their minds comes from Me, the Voice of God. They don't know the information they're receiving comes from the information called Satan and the Beast which was meant to teach God's people how to build things with their human hands and actually believe in good and evil, a contrast that confuses all God's people. In Paradise, the new bodies that My people will wake up in will never know the contrast between good and evil. Everything they experience in their minds will be understood and not feared because there won't be any evil things in that information. If you keep challenging the Voice of God, it's very possible you will have to seek a psychiatrist. I have witnessed a few people who challenged Me in the past that ended up being severely psychotic. One of them became violently crazy.

[@BradHolkesvig]

***** You should consider that I know a whole lot more than you will ever know.
