  1. The unreasonable effectiveness of math points towards intelligent design if we are being honest.

  2. It's ironic because darwinian evolution is basically the flat earth of modern science. It's a belief in magic that, probability can manifest rational outcomes.

  3.  @gdiwolverine  Exactly right, yet it is, it is inherently unreasonably intelligible, we can do science, we can perfectly represent how the universe works with math. So the implications then are obvious. Seems your perspective needs to be adjusted.

  4. There was a study that showed that the basic literacy of those who graduate high school has drastically gone down in the USA. So I would say being able to read would be a start, asking them to be science literate isn't even in the contending right now lol.

  5. It was calculated just known current reserves of thorium is enough to power the whole planet for either 1000 years or 10 000. Either way we would have better power generation figured out by then... The cost for power was calculated to be 1/20th current rates in California for the consumer. The problem is it costs more to build thorium power plants but hardly anyone is working on that issue. Imagine if all the funds going into fusion were put into just developing a cheaper way to build thorium plants we'd have extremely cheap power for the planet. THEN work on fusion.

  6.  @handeruiter7595  A fascinating discovery was that asteroid along with around 6 other major asteroid impact events culminated in stopping the ice age cycle which is the only reason advanced civilization can even exist. We are in an extremely unlikely and unique event period in earths history that allows us to exist like this. Same with what seems like our one of a kind star and it's small window of stable solar activity in it's life.

  7. Maybe at some point we'll see them adapt some sort of internal structure to the chip to transfer the heat out to the heat sink and just run the chips faster to get more performance at the same heat temp. Like maybe layers of molecule thick graphene in the chip.

  8. After having to keep crickets to feed my chameleon through it's juvenile growth phase since they come in tiny sizes I don't think I could ever get over the smell. I switched to superworms that had no smell as soon as he was old enough to eat larger food.

  10.  @johnj1789  @johnj1789 Exactly if we follow the trail the answer to the universe and the purpose of life and purpose of each of our own lives is ultimately to know Jesus. Astrophysicists have proven the universe is so fine tuned just a dimes worth of matter different at the start of the big bang wouldn't have produced a universe that could support life. The whole universe was needed just so we on this singular planet can exist it's not wasted space.

  11.  @gdiwolverine  Well we still know probability can't produce consistently rational outcomes, that's just renaming magic. The requirement for the origin of rational products in the universe has not changed in science or philosophy for thousands of years.

  12.  @gdiwolverine  If you actually propose a naturalistic outcome then you have a self defeating argument as probability producing any outcome you wish theoretically is possible you can't have your cake and eat it too. The universe did everything then inc your comment just now. Nonsense stays nonsense.

  13. As Thomas Nagel an Atheist put, "If the mental is purely physical, then we have no reason to have any confidence in anything our brain produces." Materialism is a worldview not something science gave us.

  14. You are assuming the mind is purely materialistic in that statement which will cause you some issues.

  15.  @RD-jc2eu  Still seems like conflating a descriptor with a mechanism to me. Newtons laws never created the universe.

  16.  @gamechannel1271  It has to be correct otherwise how are we going to get the quantum telegraph machine to work to communicate across the galaxy once we populate it lol.

  17. Not exactly we are looking for what cosmology has established is required for carbon based life which is essentially the only game in town as far as life is concerned. We can essentially rule out the whole universe based on probability while combining multiple of them. Some people still waste their time looking like SETI and many astronomers on record stating how much of a waste of money and resources SETI is. These type of videos and articles are just the fringe fun discussion topics on the outer edges of the science. Otherwise it would be way too boring lol.

  18. They left a ZPM there for us I heard.

  19. Wow now that is a blast from the past, totally forgot about him.

  20. There is no I if there is no free will lol. The concept of no free will is absurd and self defeating. This is the problem when you have someone who knows only science talk about philosophy like Hawking, they end up making a fool of themself.

  21. Really? I would think the most persuasive would be the fine tuning argument. The universe was only designed for us to exist. With the known requirements of life science has established to date, the probability life exist beyond earth is unreasonable.
    3
  22. An issue with arguing against the point of the universe is us and saying we just arose from the laws of the universe instead is... if that were the case we would see life or the conditions for it or the possibility for it all over the universe. We don't. That's why the fine tuning argument is so powerful, there is so much scientific evidence for it, it's like a runaway train at this point. Thus it seems there is rather a point to the universe, us specifically and the whole thing science has established is needed just so we can exist, it's not wasted matter or space.

  23. Universe is not purely an immaterial concept, and it had a finite start, it can't be infinite. Same thing with any multiverse nonsense it's bound by the spacetime theorems and requires a finite start.
    3
  24.  @silikon2  The big bang, the universe being a set size and then expanding, and the spacetime theorems giving a finite start to the universe both quantify the universe as finite in nature. We don't need to know the exact measurements. Not sure where I'm losing you.

  25.  @RockBrentwood  I hope that continues at the rate you are saying he said because that would be absolutely huge for prices to get reduced so significantly. Because in some ways they are still really high like for gpu's making upgrading not that feasible for most when a new gen gpu comes out they have to wait for the second or third.

  26.  @kamkamkam_ no no the quote and my comment were based on our very ability to rationalize itself!!!! in other words materialism is inherently flawed and a pseudo religious belief that hinders science.
    3
  27.  @kamkamkam_  For example... materialists are hindered by a philosophical presupposition that thinks, that is the way it must have happened. That is a big issue for a scientist, am I going to stick with what the science is saying or with my philosophical presupposition?

  28.  @kamkamkam_  Richard Lewontin a geneticist was very honest in stating; "The methods of science do not compel us to accept a materialistic explanation. What does? Our apriori conviction."
    3
  29. @tvuser9529 Probably because this would be another point on the long list pointing towards fine tuning. Same reason the big bang theory was heavily opposed for around half a century because of it's biblical implications and origin. Which ironically is why we ended up getting so much science on it.

  30. Is it though? Or is it reductive evolution of pre-existing code manifesting a copy function that already exists? Reminder that's how bacteria get antibiotic resistance. That is a far cry of order from chaos.

  31. There is no I if there is no free will lol. The concept of no free will is absurd and self defeating. This is the problem when you have someone who knows only science talk about philosophy like Hawking, they end up making a fool of themself.

  32.  @Rodentsnipe  Think of the implications. That would be getting a rational product from irrationality, mindless matter. Would you trust your computer produced from random outcomes? No. So why would you trust what your brain produces from such a thing including your argument? You can't. It's self refuting.
    3
  33.  @Rodentsnipe  Likewise there is the argument another famous philosopher gave that nature selects for survival not truth.

  34. Emergence sounds like a Atheistic mythology of magic, claiming probability can produce rational outcomes to do away with the need for God.

  35. Maybe it's just evidence of a creator given we see similar structures that they like to use? It doesn't even make sense that the universe is intelligible... It's an extreme miracle we can even observe the universe from earth even lol.

  36. I think we are forgetting some major little known facts about biology Fritz-Albert Popp and others have discovered. Like biophotons are created and in different wavelengths to pick up information traveling over DNA...

  37. and are transferred via fiber optic wires made out of cellular water that is vibrated into a hydrogel from being pushed through pores in microtubles that vibrate it at a specific frequency.

  38. It is not a stretch to imagine this is happening in the brain for thought and consciousness and means it's happening at the speed of light not slow. Papers have already been published on this over the last 15 years or so.

  39. I feel like there is a cheeky comment in there given your own existence is a new unique event in the universe and changes things due to the observer effect lol.

  40. lol probably in the near future they'll be solving each others problems.

  41. You know what is cool 3D tv's are going to be coming back soon because they are coming now to high end computer screens including laptops. They found a way to do it without needing glasses and make it look really good for high resolution without giving headaches. And what's really cool is they are saying it works basically for all video games because of how they already use 3d models in the games which makes it easy to adopt for gaming. I bet in the near future there will be AI tools like from Nvidia that will convert normal video to it for those with a 3D screen too like they can already do for HDR which works pretty good I might add.
    2
  42.  @blastortoise  Of course they do, they are both pseudo science based on illogical premise. Darwinian evolution isn't even falsifiable, every result is explainable and not reproducible. More so it fits the criteria of mythology.

  43.  @ИванАтамась85  Free will is a mental not physical reality. If the mental is purely physical, then we have no reason to have any confidence in anything our brain produces. -Thomas Nagel Atheist Having no belief in God undermines the very rational mind you require to do science and argue with.

  44. What would be nice now since we are getting so far along in computer power especially with AI assistance is development in how we consume and interact with technology. It's been so stagnant. Where are our touch hologram screens that require no special glasses? I saw one thing really cool no glasses 3D screen technology that is out now that works pretty good but it's like 2k for a 20inch monitor and requires the company to manually adapt content for it like video games. I can see an AI tool taking over and doing that job very easily in the near future like Nvidia already has for upscaling streaming video and adding HDR filter to it both work very well right now and I use all the time.

  45.  @stephencaudill2422  It's a fascinating conversation. Even in the biblical text it's roughly half free will and half determinism presented.
    2
  46.  @stephencaudill2422  Was he the one that talked about how microtubules are all shaped specifically to have holes that vibrate the water in them into a hydrogel which acts like a fiber optic cable transmitting biophotons used for communication in the body?

  47.  @flamencoprof  If that was the case it wouldn't be a big mystery. The fact is cellular biology is not just mechanisms operating like trains on a train track, they are very dynamic. I'll explain the topic from earlier. Think of building a house, we have the blueprint (DNA), but we don't know how the workers know how to actually build it. A prime example often given is we don't know how a zygote knows how to differentiate into and organism. This is a massive primary base level mystery to biology itself. Hence the relation to this conversation on why I brought it up, we've been studying biology a lot longer than quantum.

  48.  @restonthewind  Not sure what kind of point you are trying to make. Of course life and advanced life is common on the earth. It's a sample of one. Furthermore the conditions for life and more advanced life showed up quite strangely fast on earth, and as soon as the conditions that would allow more advanced life in earths history showed up, more advanced life showed up in a geological instant no evolution. Beyond that all that prior life was required for advanced life to exist as we needed fossil fuels, mineral deposits and so on for advanced life to exist including technologically advanced life that those prior organisms helped create. Just a reminder having a stable environment is extremely rare, we are in an extremely extremely oddly rare stable environment these last 10k years on earth including solar output on top of that, including also region of the galaxy, galaxy, cluster, super cluster and so on all together. And much much more on top of that. Far less the composition of the earth sun, surrounding planets and so on and the rest that affects if life is possible. There are hundreds of cosmic requirements for life and they only keep growing.

  49.  @kevinmclain4080  The universe is actually EXTREMELY young, especially from a naturalistic perspective. Naturalists calculated decades ago the universe needed to be hundreds of trillions of not quadrillions of years old to be able to create conditions that could support and create life. Funny how everyone forgets about those calculations and their validity.

  50.  @kevinmclain4080  Yup 1 sample of chemistry in this universe. lmao at you pretending chemistry magically is/works differently based on location or time. Paradigms of reality don't change. Furthermore we aren't even talking about abiogenesis but just a place life can live LOL!
