er a scientist at his her base has faith in theories and even for instance newtons laws and absolutely all concur that in fact you would have to equate faith with science at its base - it's framed wrong to begin with so that blows the entire argument to he$ll

Given the choice between God and the multiverse theory, I choose the one with infinitely less excuses.

Im starting to wonder if sean has any phisical proofs . Expirimental proofs . Or just mathmatical fancies as tesla said .

Fine tuning is simple to explain Sean . What if the nuclear strong force was weaker Sean ,Or stronger . Not only could life not exist but a universe could not exist . Scientist these days are purposefully disingenuous..

If James Woods and Matthew Broderick had a baby. lol.

I love reading these comments by butt hurt theists lashing out out of fear that he's right. Pure entertainment.

I personally believe god is pi, somehow.

Phases patterns movement moments, lost now?

13:25 When they insist that the Universe needs a reason, that a god is that reason. Fine then, why god? Who created god. God just is, they respond. I finish: how is that any different from the assertion that the universe just is. There is no difference. Occam's Razor: the simplest answer is usually the right one. Introducing a god only creates an unnecessarily complex solution.

Scientists will never find this answer because they can't prove anything, but they don't need to, we don't need them for this type of answer, as the answer is within us all, not in relying on some non creative overly logical nerds.

God is not a good theory , I would agree 100%. Not sure the theories we have now are very good either , but thats not my point. Point is if we ever do get a good theory on how everything works and how it came to be , seems to me that at that point our only achievement will have been the discovery of how God does what God does.

God is the BEST theory. Sean Carroll is just bad at philosophy. I highly recommend the new book The Best Argument for God by Patrick Flynn. He does a masterful job of showing just how badly naturalism does against theism.

sean carrol is not a good theory, no, he's a person, a sentience. God is neither proveable nor falsifiable , therefore God cannot be called a theory except wth sloppy logic. Carrol might want try ignoring his idiot ego and stick to science.

God format is to securizevthose who are terryfied of living commando

the problem of a left-brain thinking western man

Send Sean Carolll to a planet with gravity x10 that of earth and let him walk there and see if he acknowledges God after that. The point that many things cannot be explained in the universe is the more reason that somebody is out there beyond our understanding.

It is simple . Imagine if the sun and the planets are bigger than they are . Imagine the amount of gravity that the human body would have to deal with just walking the earth. The weight of the planets and stars are fine tuned to the point that our body can stand on earth. God exists you fools.

The only time a physicist would acknowledge the existence of God is on their last days on earth and thinking that all their knowledge will be recycled and will be put to rest and there is nothing they can do to turn back time.

This is what happens when someone learns something about science and thinks he is above nature and the universe.

God save us from Good Theory then

God Is a She

Totally awesome. Job needs to hear this presentation. There is no apparent correct explanation or answer for suffering. Our notion of the all knowing and loving being does not comport with the likes of a simple person like myself praying over and over again for the wisdom and understanding to live the best life I can for all those people in my life and me. Having faith in faith is an ask beyond all the extraordinary gifts I have been given. The very need to have to rely on biblical scholars to explain godship is hard to grasp and the Truth , the way and the light should be easily accessible to everyone. Thank you for a well thought out explanation. Keep them coming

When this guy can breath life into a hand full of dirt, you got my attention.

If God exists his power would have to be unimaginably vast to be the creator of physics laws,etc. God would know the true laws of physics not mankind's approximations. He wouldn't be subject to death or aging. Every motion of every electron would be known to God (in contradiction to QM).

Christian God is theory not science God

This was much better than I'd thought it would be - physicists have a tendency, not entirely unwarranted, to give a facile dismissal of a dumb claim and then move on... because it's dumb and that's all they think it needs - _but the proponents usually have thought of that already._ In this case, Dr. Carroll has anticipated and dealt with all of the usual responses already. Nice! I also ultimately agree with essentially all of this; MWI seems very likely to be the winner among quantum-physical interpretations. _...that said,_ I think there's a stone left unturned re: "reasons." The claim "everything needs a reason" might be closer to something like "two plus two is four", or "A is A", than it is to "momentum is conserved" - that is, some things are such that we cannot really make do without them, and hence we either _must_ apply them to theories re: universal origins... ...or else throw up our hands. (As in the case of some idea like "when did time begin?", say: it's probably a malformed question... but it's not clear what the alternative could be, either!)

God does not require for Sean to get it.

As for Free Will: I can Choose to Believe. Now what?

God has created Us to eventually find an amusament source such as this fool.

it's called an Axiom, silly! and why so angry, Sir?

No Sean. If you were to come across a car (high entropy object) on Mars, your logical conclusion is that some intelligent being made it because the likelihood of particles coming together by themselves to create that is basically zero. That's obvious because we know how the laws of nature work, and if it were easy for nature to produce cars on its own, then we'd see cars throughout the universe. We have something unnatural, the car, that we can compare to natural things and can conclude that intelligent creature must have made it because we don't see it anywhere else. With the universe, however, you have nothing to compare it to because it's the only universe we've ever known. What would a universe not created by God look like? It's hard to say because we don't have an example of one. E.g. if all you've ever known is a universe without intelligent life (excluding humans) how would you know intelligent life exists since you couldn't even imagine there'd be such a thing given that you've never seen it? Is our universe of high entropy when compared to others? That's anyone's guess. If the universal constants that make our universe are fine-tuned for life then you can argue it our universe is of high entropy and has an intelligent creator. In fact you don't even need evidence of a high entropy creation. If we can conclude that high entropy events/objects must have a creator because they're so hard to come by, it is unfair to say the opposite for low entropy objects. Anyway, my POV is that the fact that anything exists at all is proof that an intelligent being must have made it. Otherwise if universes can make themselves then cars, buildings and computers can make themselves too.

I understand that human brain doesn't only have Logical prefrontal cortex but amygdala emotions ... But Coming to this the conclusion that God is stupid fantasy which is not even a good fantasy is Easy ... If you use little logic

There are three levels of belief in a God. 1. A God created the universe. 2. A God which is omnipotent and omniscient created the universe 3. A God which is omnipotent and omniscient and loves me created the universe. 4. A God which is omnipotent and omniscient and loves me created the universe in six earth days. The ONLY one which cannot be rejected out of hand is number one. Omnipotence and omniscience are mutually exclusive. Number one is, as Sean Carroll says, not a good theory/hypothesis.

OK, I'm far from stupid. I can follow rudimentary physics, philosophy and cosmology. But that was very heavy to follow. 99.5% of theists would go. WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU ON ABOUT. I LOVE JESUS AND JESUS LOVES ME.

good work

“The stage is too big for the play.”

Once you assume a creator and a plan, it makes us objects in a cruel experiment whereby we are created sick and commanded to be well, I’ll repeat that, created sick and then ordered to be well. And over us to supervise this is installed a celestial dictatorship, a kind of divine North Korea, greedy for uncritical praise from dawn until dusk and swift to punish the original sins with which it so tenderly gifted us in the first place. However, let no one say there is no cure; redemption is offered at the low price of the surrender of your critical faculties. “Religion” it might be said, must be said would have to admit, makes extraordinary claims, but though I would claim that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, rather daringly provides not even ordinary evidence for its extraordinary supernatural claim. I am asking you is it good for the world to appeal to our credulity and not to our skepticism? Is it good for the world to worship a deity that takes sides in wars and in human affairs? To appeal to our fear and our guilt, to our terror, our terror of death, is it good to appeal? To preach guilt and shame about the sexual act and the sexual relationship, is this good for the world? And asking yourself all the while, are these religious responsibilities as I maintain they are? To terrify children with the image of hell and eternal punishment not just of themselves but of their parents and those they love? Perhaps worst of all to consider women an inferior creation, is that good for the world? And can you name me a religion that has not done that? And to insist that we are created and not evolved in the face of all the evidence? Religion forces nice people to do unkind things and also makes intelligent people do stupid things.” Christopher Hitchens in a Munk debate with Tony Blair, “religion is good for the world” “I have done my best, believe me I have more!”

What's he smoking

Remember the day when We shall roll up the heavens like the rolling up of written scrolls. As We began the first creation, so shall We repeat it; a promise binding on Us; that We shall certainly fulfil.” [Quran 21:105] And the heaven We built with Our own powers (aydin) and indeed We go on expanding it (musi’un).” [51:48] Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass, then We clove them asunder. And We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?” [21:31]

So if God is no more than a "hypothesis"---. than perhaps the speaker should detail just how the universe came into being in the first place. Oh and don't forget the continuous power within each and every atom throughout the cosmos. Now, that shouldn't be too difficult should it ?

The intelligent power within and without each and every atom throughout the universe, illustrates the very nature of God. Do you still believe that everything that exists came (and comes) from nothing ?--- bearing in mind the complexity of matter, not to mention the sustaining intelligent governing power within, (and without of) each and every atom ?

We are all part (creations) of the (a) supreme power; (which we term God). If you cannot accept this, then you would have to come up with an alternative intelligent source of everything. (Always has been, or an accident which produces everything from NOTHING, (and maintains it remember) is simply avoiding the issue. The power within each and every atom,( together with its rules of operation) throughout the universe can hardly be termed 'an accident', since it is on-going or continuous.

The Christian Bible is full of hypothesis about God with accompanying instructions on how to prove the "theory" that is God's Presence and Being. Reiterating: In science, a theory is an hypothesis that has been proven.

A theory is proven truth; a hypothesis is a tentative idea that calls for diligent examination to ascertain verity, or not. Ideas about God are abstracts. God's actual PRESENCE can be ascertained through spiritual knowledge which transcends ordinary temporal mind, will & emotion, thereby verified by communication with God, himself, similiar but of a spiritual dimension , beyond Mr. Carroll's vertible presentation of himself to me.

Sean Carroll is not a good theory. Be still and know God.

You could always use a little crazy glue to adhere the pencil to the table. Higher energy levels lets go. Nice presentation.

The so called theory of Cosmic Consciousness or Uniiversal Mind goes back to the Greeks and to as far back as we can check to primitive times. Both the highly educated and the highly perceptive saw it the same. Now in our age of reductionism the reductionists are disputing it. “It is not based on the evidence.” That is pathetic. Explain why we live in the so-called Goldilocks Zone, explain Consciousness, explain Magnetism and a multitude of other things that there is no evidence of why they should exist or exist as they do. After you have accomplished all of that you can move on to whether or not there is a Universal Consciousness or Mind or not. Otherwise give us a break we are tired of your constant disputations.

Sean, God Theory is real. I have discovered the God Equation and Theory in the course of my over 30 years of basic research on Quantum Gravity in my home country Singapore. The God Theory and Equation are deeply hidden in plain sight and manifested by Quantum Gravitation, Quantum Gravitational Entanglement and Gravitational Quantum Computation. Also, Quantum Gravity is the key to unification of Gravity ang Quantum Mechanics. Quantum Gravity and the theory, mathematics, laws, reproducible experiments and observations that underpinned it, is crucial for an empirical real true Quantum Theory of Gravity that would finish Einstein's Revolution in physics. Problem is that, since the 17th century up to the present, the Mathematics that we have so far cannot solve the problem of quantum gravitation. Mathematics is invented and discovered. That's my personal experience. I've invented/discovered a completely new mathematics in the course of my 30-year-long basic research on Quantum Gravity in Singapore. I called it Majulah Matematika in honour of my home country Singapore. I use it to solve one of the most difficult conundrums in physics- the True Nature of Gravity. In addition, I also have invented/discovered the elusive Magnetic Monopole and the Gravitational Computation Language and Codes that program and run the Quantum Gravitation and the Universe itself as the Ultimate Massive Cosmic Computer System covering the entire observable Universe. Here is one of the many solutions that we can derive from my new mathematics: A Computer Universe that is real. It is run by Quantum Gravitational Computation, Quantum Gravitational Entanglement and Quantum Gravitation covering the entire Universe. An empirical Theory of Quantum Gravity is the key. And it will led us to understanding of how and why Gravity works. It will also at the same time, debunk and invalidate String Theory, Loop Quantum Gravity, M Theory, Theory of General Relativity and all failed and wrong theories of gravity. But it will proved and validate Einstein's Hidden Variables and EPR's authors Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen correct. The Hidden variables are: Quantum Gravity, Quantum Anti-Gravity, Quantum Neutral Gravity, the macroscopic cosmic scale Gravitational Quantum Entanglement and Gravitational Quantum Computation. All these would complete the Quantum Foundation, Unification of Gravity with Quantum Mechanics and the realization of Theory of Everything in Physics. I have discovered and cracked the code of the true nature of Gravity in my over 30 years of basic research works in Singapore. This discovery/invention/theory of mine include THE GOD EQUATION - THE TRINITY Equations, Laws and Codes For QUANTUM GRAVITATION , QUANTUM GRAVITATIONAL ENTANGLE MENT and GRAVITATIONAL QUANTUM COMPUTATION that pave the way for Theory of Everything in Physics: - THE 3-in-1 HOLY GRAILS of Physics: 1. Quantum Anti-Gravity/Spin Up Quantum Gravitational Entanglement/0 Rhu Bit or R Bit: QAG = ∆QGOρ < ∆QGFρ = ↑α 2. Quantum Gravity/Spin Down Quantum Gravitational Entanglement/1 Rhu Bit or R Bit: QG = ∆QGOρ > ∆QGFρ = ↓α 3. Quantum Neutral Gravity/Superposition Quantum Gravitational Entanglement/01 and/or 10 Rhu Bit or R Bit: QNG = ∆QGOρ = ∆QGFρ = ↑↓α We now have a working Quantum Theory of Gravity that is testable and complete with reproducible empirical experiments with the same results if repeated over and over again and again, confirmed by empirical observations in nature with 7-Sigma level results, guided by empirical Laws, Cosmic/Universal Computation and physical/mathematical Trinity God Equations that are predictive, precise and does no collapse even in high energies of Big Bang and singularity of Black Hole. FYI: Quantum Gravity or Quantum Gravitation have three types that are equivalent to and manifested by Quantum Computational Gravitation- the biggest and most powerful Computer Software Program and Hardware in the Universe and Quantum Gravitational Entanglement - a Quantum Entanglement at Macroscopic Cosmic Scale namely: 1. Quantum Anti-Gravity = Spin Up Quantum Entanglement State; 2. Quantum Neutral Gravity = Superposition Quantum Entanglement State; and 3. Quantum Gravity = Spin Down Quantum Entanglement State. More detailed information could be found on the published papers 2 years ago in London, Paris, and Zurich, online and at the two scientific Journals ACADEMIA and REAL TRUE NATURE. Alternatively, you can google the name of the author ROEL REAL ROVIRA to arrive at the published paper on Quantum Gravity. Most recently, additional two well respected scientific journals namely NATURE and the AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY APS Physical Review Journals have officially invited this author to submit manuscripts on his Research on Quantum Gravity for publication for PRX QUANTUM in preparation for a celebration for International Year of Quantum IYQ 2025 to showcase the best papers of the year. Quantum Gravitation is governed by and follow the Trinity Laws, Mathematics and Physics of Quantum Gravitation, Gravitational Quantum Computation and Quantum Gravitational Entanglement. We now have a new Laws of Physics and two newly discovered Fundamental Forces of Nature - The Quantum Neutral Gravity and Quantum Anti-Gravity which completed the heart of the Quantum Theory of Gravity published in London. Paris and Zurich last December 2022 as follows: 1. First Law of Quantum Gravitation: Rovira’s Universal Law of Quantum Gravitation: “The greater mass density of gravitating Quantum Objects than the Quantum Gravitational Field causes a downward acceleration of the Quantum Objects in a Quantum Gravitational Field instantaneously mediated by Graviton.” - Roel Real Rovira Equation for Quantum Gravity, and Spin Down Quantum Gravitational Entanglement: QG = ∆QGOρ > ∆QGFρ = ↓α Where: QG is Quantum Gravity in Rovira (value of downward acceleration force due to quantum gravity) in kg. ∆QGOρ is Differential Change in greater mass density of Quantum Gravitating Objects than the mass density of Quantum Gravitational Field in kg/m2 or g/cm3. ∆QGFρ is Differential Change in mass density of Quantum Gravitational Field in kg/m2 or g/cm3. ↓α is the Resultant Downward Acceleration of Gravitating Quantum Objects in mtr/sec. 2. Second Law of Quantum Gravitation: Rovira’s Universal Law of Quantum Anti-Gravity. “The lesser mass density of gravitating Quantum Objects than the Quantum Gravitational Field causes an upward acceleration of the Quantum Objects in a Quantum Gravitational Field instantaneously mediated by Graviton.” -Roel Real Rovira Equation for Quantum Anti-Gravity/Spin Up Quantum Gravitational Entanglement: QAG = ∆QGOρ < ∆QGFρ = ↑α Where: QAG is Quantum Anti-Gravity in Rovira (value of upward acceleration force due to quantum anti-gravity) in kg. ∆QGOρ is Differential Change in lesser mass density of Quantum Anti-Gravitating Objects than the mass density of Quantum Gravitational Field in kg/m2 or g/cm3. ∆QGFρ is Differential Change in mass density of Quantum Gravitational Field in kg/m2 or g/cm3. ↑α is the Resultant Upward Acceleration of Anti-Gravitating Quantum Objects in mtr/sec. 3. Third Law of Quantum Gravitation: Rovira’s Law of Quantum Neutral Gravitation. “The equal mass density of gravitating Quantum Objects and the Quantum Gravitational Field causes a zero acceleration or floating or hoovering of the gravitating Quantum Objects in a Quantum Gravitational Field, instantaneously mediated by Graviton.” - Roel real Rovira Equation for Quantum Neutral Gravity and Superposition Quantum Gravitational Entanglement: QNG = ∆QGOρ = ∆QGFρ = ↑↓α Where: QNG is Quantum Neutral Gravity in Rovira (value of zero acceleration force due to quantum neutral gravity) in kg. ∆QGOρ is Differential Change in equal mass density of Quantum Neutral Gravitating Objects to the mass density of Quantum Gravitational Field in kg/m2 or g/cm3. ∆QGFρ is Differential Change in mass density of Quantum Gravitational Field in kg/m2 or g/cm3. ↑↓0α is the Resultant zero acceleration or non-acceleration of Neutral Gravitating Quantum Objects in mtr/sec.
