  1. well, all very entertaining, time will tell.

  2. what on earth are you talking about?

  3. 15:00 actually penrose aeon idea is rather neat, if you wanted to you could say that each aeon is the first , or it's the only aeon, we have a big bang, then an expansion, then nothing but black holes, then evaporated black holes, so only photons, so there is no time / no distance = singularity, and that's another big bang, but as time doesn't exist it's the "first" big bang - we don't need infinity or eternity. and it could even fit with what carroll was saying about "in our history we are other people's past" - the aeons reverse direction (?) and of course the part of the universe we can see might be expanding, but if the universe is finite, but really, really fkn big, bigger than we can imagine, our part of it could collapse again at some point.

  4. lol, keep up the metaphysics, someone has to waste their time on it, if only to show that you can't have stuff that doesn't exist. god is spaceless, timeless immaterial = non existant.

  5. 4:29 er, scientists don't believe another universe is on the other side of a singularity in a black hole, i think even hawking gave up on the singularity thing, i'm sure this is just out of date, i've seen other prgrams MJR has been in and she seems on the ball usually, but singularities aren't "a thing" anymore. and (i believe) the multiverse is a working theory, it is derived from the maths rather than being added in to explain a phenomena, it's all related to quantum physics and branching and stuff i can't be arsed to type.

  6. actually no one cares what you think, and the consensus appears to be that consciousness comes solely from the brain. maybe you're an idiot and you haven't realised it yet. and talking of proof, have you anything to back up your assertion that conciousness doesn't come from matter? cos matter is all there is you know.

  12. mate, not so gloomy, these are the best times ever, despite the putins of this world it's brilliant, tell me which 50 year period in time would you GO BACK to? rickets? bubonic plague? dinosaurs? stop dissing this century, it's an AMAZING century, even the the beatles were early.

  13. the proof there is no god, he killed everyone in a flood. if he is willing to do that, why not just keep on killing everyone until he gets what he wants, what does he care? and why did he make a snake smarter than his first lady?

  15. here's sixpence, now go and devise an experiment to do that. or were you expecting someone to do it for you? cos you're lazy.

  16. "Elements that do harm are the most unstable elements that are much less common and harder to produce. So atoms are what is fine tuned, which is so essential for life forms." gibberish.

  17. santa claus: knows who is naughty, knows who is nice, grown ups realise it's your parents in a suit. god: he knows who is naughty, he knows who is nice, grown ups keep telling you that you are going to hell. roger penrose: "there may be a superior intelligence, but i don't see that helps". also: "how do we know this intelligence isn't malicious"

  18. not to mention they are all listed in the description.

  19. you might want to reword that, i had to squint to make sense of it.

  23. you are in the right one, it's the rest of us are in trouble.

  24. my best friends read sci-fi too. anything is possible - is it likely?

  27. i didn't see any interupptions other than reminding of their intro time. i just came from his interview with penrose, great.

  28.  @ANunes06  yep.

  29. colour only exists in the brain, photons are all the same "colour" they just have different energy states that our eyeball converts, then the brain refines, presumably this came about by accident, but as it was a happy accident, we kept it. but, it's a physical property of reality having a physical effect on out body that the brain assigns a physical neurological action to, like colour - it's invented in the brain but it is the product of and the reaction to physical things, physical light, or pheromones or sounds that have physical triggers, and just because i have no idea what vanilla smells like to someone else, doesn't mean that vanilla smells different. i think the brain is just a really smart simulator, and consciousness is the illusion, we are just like bacteria bumbling our way from one meal to the next. 12:50 what he's saying might be true of quantum fields, our perception is a reconstruction of the quantum world, but if you can eat an apple and it keeps you alive, then it's real.

  30. quite possibly, but as i have never heard of him, why are you shouting, how come he's so great?

  31. we would be extinct if we weren't inherently good. it's not rocket science.

  32. sorry avatars, this is my simulaton. really the answer is, who cares. whether it is or isn't so far no one has escaped.

  33. so what are memories?

  34. "Please, Envious Primates ... Don't Lose Your Time trying to understand what You cannot Understand." you ought to follow your own advice, you sound kinda dumb.

  35. they hide knowledge in books where they know you won't look.

  36. so, memories are a fiction?

  37. i didn't quite follow either, that's why i wanted to see this video (haven't started yet, still trolling comments :)) but i do like the idea that the universe has started and infinity of times, but each time was the first time...

  38. if there is a god i'm pretty certain religion would be the last thing he'd endorse, somehow i don't see the creator of this splendid universe demanding adulters be stoned, i think religious people are thick as planks, anyone can see the holy books of the world are made up and to believe in people like christ is two steps from voodoo and pixies.

  40. 34:00 well, to be fair once upon a time you'd wind up dismembered if you weren't a religist, folks claiming their religions promoted science are really just boasting they would kill anyone who didn't sign up, and besides if you want to act the fool and play at alchemy, what better environment than superstitious mentally deficient nincompoops who like to dress up and wear silly hats - yes religion is responsible for einstein's brain. hahahahahahahaha. no wonder religion is dying, it's populated by buffoons.

  41. he also says that although a lot of people disagree with it, and that he's not entirely happy with it either, it works pretty well until someone comes up with something more concrete.

  43. consult an analyst.

  44. i don't understand a word of that, and not being able to spell lose doesn't help me to try to bother. loosely speaking. did you lose your dictionary?

  45. "why" there is a universe is a bit of a silly question, one day we may find that there is an answer, but as things stand it's hard enough to answer "how"

  46. who would that be? this guy is doing an okat job, i just watched his interview with penrose he did a great job. horses for courses i guess.

  47. free will would actually mean you can pluck anything out of anywhere, brian greene says pick a city at random, it's not free will because you only have the cities on earth to choose from, and not only that, only the cities you know the names of, so free will would be the ability to choose the name of any city anywhere in the universe and in fact beyond, so true free will actually makes the big bang sensible, it's literally the action of free will doing a "random" act. or something.

  48. she is, but she's got some "facts" squiffy: 4:29 er, scientists don't believe another universe is on the other side of a singularity in a black hole, i think even hawking gave up on the singularity thing, i'm sure this is just out of date, i've seen other prgrams MJR has been in and she seems on the ball usually, but singularities aren't "a thing" anymore. and (i believe) the multiverse is a working theory, it is derived from the maths rather than being added in to explain a phenomena, it's all related to quantum physics and branching and stuff i can't be arsed to type.
