No matter how busy I am I always have time to listen Lawrence
thanks
Epstein apologist
What a privilege to be able to watch these things for 'free'. Lot's of love from India to Dr. Krauss!
I don't mean to infer and I mean no offense: yet do you think that some aspects of the culture of India regarding Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism are useful as to why when people look up at the night sky, that they perhaps see a bit further into infinity?
In other words: do you think some aspects of the cultures around you are infact compatible with cosmology, and perhaps even a motivating factor to see further?
@@py_a_thon No offense taken. I'm born as a Hindu. The fact that it's like every other religion i.e. not all dandy, rosy or enlightening as it seems to an outsider. The religion has its own flaws like every other religion maybe and it's recently been highjacked by the vicious to spread hatred in the country. Sorry to disappoint you, but I personally draw no inspiration, motivation, peace or pleasure from it and it's a mere option on a government form that saves me from some harassments with the majority Hindu population for now.
@@samratjpatil Fair enough. I suppose the sort of rational historic concept of the religion is what is most fascinating. Ramanujan as a mathematician was an odd individual, and some of that random brilliance seemed to be derivated from perhaps the culture of Hinduism, if not a blind adherence to the religion.
If you want to view those stories (some of which are kinda awesome) as just the past form of Marvel Cinematic Movie storytelling, then that is all good lol.
I suppose that narrows my real question down though: Storytelling(fiction, mystical or other) has alot of power, and perhaps we can find ways to incorporate that into the world in a moral form?
@@samratjpatil Another randomly interesting concept is how someone found a like 1000 year old islamic mosque that had tiling on it that was almost exactly what Roger Penrose had mathematically quantified in his major discoveries regarding how shapes tile perfectly (in 2 dimensions. I guess Penrose's brilliance was that his quantified logic can expand into topology in n-dimensions. Maybe...? 3D often plays nice 4+D gets weird fast).
Every time I listen to Lawrence I walk away a little bit smarter. Thanks for everything you do.
Krauss always makes me marvel the world.
HE WAS FRIENDS WITH EPSTEIN
Lawrence Krauss is one of the few people that when he pops up on feed i instantly click and settle in a wonderful lecture ..
About a decade ago I was a student at Arizona State University and I would routinely attend your Origins talks. I miss being there in person! Thanks for all the great content and for genuinely caring for students. You would always give me a few minutes of your time after talks for questions. Happy New Year!
Thanks.. that means a lot.

Do electrons move at absolute zero?
No

Time is a Farsi word "تاب taab" means swing or pendulum.
Thank you Lawrence, wishing you Happy New Year. Congrats from Sicily.
Happy to see you back with your chic attire like good ole days. I grasped some insights along the way. Thank you.
thank you for posting this lecture...we the audience need exposure to great educated minds who can educate us without compramise
Greatest Exponent on the edge of knowledge, Deep Insights into our Universe, clarity in explaining quantum mechanics, Fantastic Origins Podcast...undoubtedly the Greatest Scientist Lawrence Krauss...I Thank you Sir ❤❤❤
Going from knowing about just one galaxy to a 100 billion took just 80 years! Wow!
It's really amazing how many key components for our understanding of the universe came about just in the last century: plate tectonics, DNA, the real scale of our universe and even just definitive proof of atomic theory.
I take it people came into existence 80 years ago?
@@peterstafford4426 Yes. People who are currently around 80 years old.
@@peterstafford4426 No, but no one knew galaxies beyond our own existed 100 years ago. So not 80, but not a whole lot more, either
@@PronatorTendon Once you recognize that there is one galaxy more, it immediately grows very quickly. BTW, Krauss is a BS artist. His big selling book 'A Universe From Nothing' is a lie. Its a universe from an quantum field. And he was actually asked about that. His response was 'I couldn't title the book 'A Universe from a QuantumField', no one would have bought it. He is very dishonest guy.
Lawrence all day baby
Love Lawrence's lectures and 'one on ones' ... always thought provoking, always understandable to his audience, sometimes provocative, sometimes teasing ... but most of all a great human being ... happy new year from the UK ...
thanks so much.
@@TheOriginsPodcast Have you apologized to William Lane Craig yet for lying?
Thank you Lawrence for this lecture. I think you've covered a great deal in this 2 hour presentation. For me, this is the best lecture among your lectures that I've seen so far.
thanks!
Can confirm
I was thinking exactly along those lines. He got the balance of delivery ( many facets ) spot on with this one.
I just loved it when he said "I have about five or ten minutes left to talk about this.." then I noticed there's an hour left of the video :3
there was an hour Q&A
my favorite Krauss lecture is the one where he talks about the stars died for you! it's so eloquent and beautiful. he is such an amazing speaker and brilliant mind.
Just as trains created the need for time zones, commonplace long distance telephony, and more recently, the ubiquitousness of internet communication have complicated our sense of time. My wife in Nova Scotia, Canada, called her uncle in New Zealand, but got the time conversion wrong, so it was 3 am, there. Nowadays, you might get on the computer or your cell phone and send a message to a colleague, only to discover they are not down the hall, but thousands of miles away.
Please Mr . K. We need more of your lectures. You are one on best science speakers in the universe/even in the multiverse😊😊😊
Krauss is one of the good guys!
and comes from Toronto!
Epstein friend
@@stadiamak692stupid comment
He's a good friend. I would defend my friend too.
I hope one day I'll become friend with him after I become a great physicist
@@haoyangsun3278 me too 😳
What an incredible New Year gift! I would love to shake his hand and thank him for bringing so much light into our lives. Truly he is a lens through which dullards, such as I, are able to snatch fleeting glimpses of the infinite.
thanks!

I love and learn much from watching Dr. Krauss. His videos will teach many of our grandkids - please take a minute to check the lighting before you hit the record button! You're a handsome man! ;-) (Thx!)
It's great to see another lecture from you, I miss the discussions you had with Richard Dawkins. Thank you, Dr. Krauss
I like this, its back to what Lawrence used to be like ~7 years ago
Before...he got put on a list?
So illuminating
Love your podcast brother keep bringing on the knowledge
Found Sidney's lecture on CZcams...looking forward to watching it.
As dapper as he is brilliant! Happy New Year, Lawrence, and Origins fans worldwide from New Hampshire USA!
thanks!
Love this stuff
Great lecture! Thank you!
Been a fan since I read his book Fear of Physics back in the mid-1990s. Another great job. Can’t wait to read the new book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
thanks! That goes way back!
That was fun: thank you. Also, I see in the chat that a few stable geniuses have concluded Einstein was wrong about General Relativity, yet forgot to inform the world's scientists.
Saw Einstein but thought Epstein.
I had a ticket for this event but was unable to attend...thank you so much for posting!
thanks. sorry you couldn't be there.
Well done Lawrence great presentation
The Salton Sea apparently has an abundance of lithium.
What we need for EV's is inductive charging using coils below the roadway, charging batteries as it's driven. That'll minimize the need for large capacity batteries.
Thank you again for educating and enlightening me! Always look forward to your lectures and discussions 🇿🇦👍
I love your lectures, and you have been my favorite physicist for a long time now. Thank you for sharing your insights and a tip of your knowledge. Happy New Year and PLEASE come to Pittsburgh!!!
thanks. Maybe someday.. Used to visit it more often when I lived in Cleveland.
More please !!!
Very cool
It is always such a great treat for me to see more of Lawrence!
Correction: Re: GPS time, there is no back and forth communicating, you just receive information from the satellite, the phone cannot transmit up
Happy for this! Only thing missing here are the timestamps - 😊
I've seen a lot of viewers add comments that include them. Is that something you could do?
IF CANT BUILD IT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IT - Feynman. Thanks for this quote from the blackboard and thanks for this talk. I really like the bit about ‘I don’t know’ but not to confuse it meaning we don’t know anything. Also I liked what you said about how we educate HAS to change. Facts are irrelevant, scientific process is the key, kids get scared off thinking they need to know many facts, we need to tell kids instead no they need to know only the process of thinking and testing , and it doesn’t matter as much if you’re wrong or right as it does that you can think and care whether it’s right or wrong.
Kraus's "Universe from nothing" is still my favorite lecture.
Thank you sir. Always enjoy your videos
Dr Krauss. In 100% humility and honesty, your lectures inspired me to enjoy thinking of the components of the universe in a different and more enjoyable way. I cannot thank you enough for the lectures, presentations, and guests you presented over many years for free on this platform. Thank you.
thanks!
Good discussion and sharing of honest scientific materials… Lawrence is down to Earth…
fascinating, thank you
I've been waiting for a lecture from Lawrence! A universe from nothing lit my brain on fire.
Wow, thanks Lawrence Krauss for existing.
Krauss is awesome.
And I’m really digging this look,
it’s like a speaking piece from ‘The Invisible Man’.
😮👏
Truly engaging, smart and witty! Love the comedy woven with science
Marvelous, Lawrence. I'm mystified the auditorium wasn't packed. Well done.
Superb lecture, Mr. Krauss. I've wondered for quite some time now if DNA itself was the only fundamental life form and every other living thing was simply a vessel for DNA to live.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first hour and I loved the second hour. The breadth of topics covered is amazing and wonderful. The way you share and propose epistemology is helpful, relatable, and accessible. And your presentation of knowledge is a gift to us all.
Happy New Year 2024
thanks very much.
Thanks
Always interesting, you make it that way, your brain….so many amazing people
I love the quote for the matter chapter. Sums my place up to a tee.
good work lawrence
we, laymen, thank you very much for filling up what general education should have provided. You present facts and also tell us about the scientist's mindset, and how it ought to work, objectively with no bias.
Amazing talk all the best in 2024
Good job
Every time I watch a professor like this I wonder why bad lectures are allowed/forced to give lectures. Much better watching really good ones on the internet.
When people look back on how something has occurred it always looks like a miraculous thing but when you see how all the serendipitous happenings that had a knock on effect have come along then you see it is merely random chance, but when you compare your own existence for example with the chance of you being here without taking into account that their could have been trillions of other possibilities and that it is only because we are here by very, very random chance that we are able to look back in the first place, then things seem to have a special design just for us. From the beginnings to the end always seem like special occurrences have taken place but there was a series of random happenings that go on that people don't see for this to seem miraculous from a starting point when looking back. If two people who haven't met each other in many year come across each other without planning it seems like a special fate but there were a series of random chances that occurred and millions of times this couple didn't randomly come across each other, people see the possibilities of us being here as miraculous but so would perhaps another creature other than us looking back on their existence chance from beginning without seeing their vast random knock on effects that led to their serendipitous existence.
Tech proceeds one step at a time. Sir Issac Newton I stood on the shoulders of giants
1:10:56 You _can_ ask questions of a document now! There are websites where you can upload a document, and a large language model (LLM) "reads" it, and you can ask natural language questions. I tried it, it really works. I have only tested extremely technical documents, and the book "1984", so far.
Lawrence we need another great debate even if it is over webcam
Dr. Krauss with the cool Dr. Who swag outfit talking time travel. Life is good.
Lawrence, mate, love you so much and why we have science to ask questions. Listen back to this lecture - it's not faith but trust and some cringe.
perfect :)
Love the hat. Cool prof.
Thank You Lawrence
Thanks for the video!
I will add about the "intelligent design" question, that the assumption that this universe, or even this world, was made for us is flawed from the start. Because there are many parts of the world directly deathly hazardous for humans.
Take the oceans. Forget the need to breathe, which is a huge issue on it's own, but the pressure alone in the depths of the oceans will kill a person, or persons, instantly. And if you manage to solve these two issues, then you have to deal with nitrogen narcosis if you return to the surface too quickly.
Then you have the tallest mountains. Breathing is also an issue, even worse is the cold. Even well equipped climbers have to deal with losing toes and fingers due to frostbite. This also applies to the arctic and antarctic regions. The cold in these places will kill an unprepared person nearly instantly.
Add in other natural effects that are directly hazardous to us, like volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones, wildfires, landslides, and strikes from comets and asteroids. These things are all directly and deathly hazardous to humans, if directly exposed to them, and sometimes also indirectly exposed.
Also, microbes and plants outnumber us BY FAR. If anything, this world is made for -them-, and we just happen to be living on their world.
And then once you leave the bounds of this planet, EVERYTHING is deathly hazardous for us. Even when properly prepared, like those who visit the International Space Station, there are issues that stem from being in micro-gravity. And the radiation in space is a constant concern. Especially once you leave Earth's magnetic field.
So, just like the "Goldilocks" zone that enables liquid water to exist on this planet, there is a "Goldilocks" zone ON this planet, because we are not suited to survive in the lowest and highest parts of this world.
Wow, the explanation at 1 hour 24 minutes how the picture taken with the camera is spread out in time was provoking! Have to ponder it more. Any chance this will come out in a podversion?
So much in nature on earth appears as fractal patterns. So much in space seems like it follows a pattern of spheres circling each other (gravity). Electron clouds aeound an atom, planets around star, stars arpund black hole, debris around black holeIs. Is it possible our universe is porous somehow and is one of many universes circling something that is causing dark matter to appear in our universe?
observe, discover, question, learn, understand, then its starts all over again
I love listening to people like Krauss talk because they love to talk about the possibilities in their work. They are always quick to admit that their are lots of things out there ... possibilities that we just aren't sure about but are possible. They are even willing to admit that things like multi-dimensions and the Dyson sphere, a thought experiment that was created to explain how an advanced society would meet its energy requirements once those requirements exceed what can be generated from the home planet alone. Anything is possible in science except ... Intelligent design. What is it that makes them so sure that doesn't exist? It's as theoretical as everything else they've examined yet this is the one thing they unconditionally reject with no basis or explanation. That's when I know this scientist lives with bias in his work that limits his journey on finding the truth of the universe.
Yummy - Thanks Lawrence :O)
Space... The bar that you look down your nose at, but you know that you will visit regularly to separate the things that went before from things that come after.
Can you claim sonething is not conscious when you have no idea what consciousness is? The only metrics available are whether an animal feels pain and they can think. Whether they can perform complex thoughts wouldn't mean the animal is not aware if itself.
Seriously! Thanks for commenting this I always feel this way and it angers me that people don’t take this into consideration.
And now 10 years later. It went from 100B to 2T galaxies. And maybe 1000x that beyond the observable universe.
Instantaneous communication thru "Space/Time" via quantum coupling
❤❤❤
Krauss is a brilliant brain and speaker, human too I imagine but I don’t know him personally. His Rogan appearance is still up there as one of my favourites and I’ve seen a lot of Rogans stuff.
Regarding consciousness.. on social media it is easy to recognise the bubbles of unconscious minds suggested as content for you that has nothing to do with your reality accept machines assumptions and bias..Consciousness is like a common sense, self awareness - a child develops through experience..that’s why everyone is at different state of it, because subjective experience depends so much on time and space..
Black hole in Russian is "черная дыра" and that translates literally as, well, a "black hole" :)
Was that Putin telling Epstein his personal preferences?
16:40 “known unknowns: can you build a Time Machine?” 😌
He used to sound like the Simpsons mad professor but this is soothing
Damn getting nice and passionate !
I like towards the end of the lecture how its mentioned about how we need to think.
But It seems we're still primitive in the way we think because the way we think is based on the education foundation of who and how we are taught to think. And we can't question what doesn't want to be considered or are affraid of.
Its like the human species is still in its primordial evolution.

Stupidity is the act of denying ones own ignorance.
Let there be light😜
In case anyone else didn't have a f****** clue what was going on with the experimenters deciding A and B are plus or negative one, check out Brian Greene's book. He uses an example that is much more intuitive. No math, etc. The Elegant Universe.
Krause for universe president 😅
He didn’t explain Jesus battling demons in space beneath the Moon. I’m not convinced.
The issue I have with the dominantly western "judeo-christian"(or the physical science as we know it since renaissance) is the ability to even consider human centric special consideration to human consciousness(and the related suffering) when it is abundantly obvious even without any of the accepted or believed methods of scientific investigations, that the other animals do have a consciousness and can suffer the same or similar ways to humans suffer. This is an even deeper issue when we use the known and accepted methodologies of physical sciences to evaluate animal consciousness and the related suffering. This habit of placing humans on a higher ground of consciousness and suffering is most certainly a core tenet of the "judeo-christian" world view, yet the modern physical sciences that claim to have deviated from those thought patterns and world view since the renaissance has also inherited that world view(or some core aspects of it) if we look at the core tenets of modern western philosophy as well as physical sciences(or some of it).
It is all good and admirable Lawrence has become a vegetarian because of his assessment that his dog also has consciousness and suffers as he does. However, it should be a given that his dog is conscious without having to go into deeper philosophical or western model scientific assessments, because otherwise we have to question the consciousness of everyone around us except the conscious person(in this case myself) by asking or searching for empirical evidence of whether my mother possess a consciousness like myself.
We need to question the generally accepted(or seemingly accepted) view that we are far more intelligent, knowledgeable and aware of these matters related to consciousness than our ancient ancestors like Egyptians, Greek, Indians or Chinese who had explored this domain in depth(particularly the Indians). There is a very high probability the ancient Indians and Chinese had explored these existential issues in much more depth than we would've done so far because they have passed on a good deal of that knowledge and philosophy to us, the modern day humans. For example, the debate between materialism and idealism(or anti-materilism/non-materilism or spiritualism etc) is nothing new. These debates had existed in depth among ancients Indians, Chinese and Greeks. The idea of microscopic life(or life forms that we cannot see with our normal eye vision) had existed among ancient Jaina, Buddhist and similar world views and knowledge. The microscope basically gave a visual validity to an existing ancient understanding, concepts and knowledge. We don't even know about world view and philosophy of the ancient Egyptians who built those monuments that we still can't figure out how they did it because they have not left any detailed documentation of their philosophy of human existence, existence of life on earth or their technology.
I would imagine we can debate about the "levels" of consciousness between life forms like bacteria, algae, trees, mussels, fish, elephants etc. When we are hopeless at finding the consciousness in our brain(even though we know it is in our brain, even if the brain can be/may be a major component of it, but perhaps not the only component of it).
I honestly do not know whether the consciousness is fundamental or not, but it is abundantly obvious dogs, cats, elephants, fish etc are conscious and suffers the same or similar way we do. Whether the consciousness is an illusion of nature is a different argument. What is obvious is that a conscious human(or another animal) is required to construct all these world views, knowledge and whatnot. What is obvious is that the biological life as we know it exists through parasitic, dependent or co-existing(symbiotic) mechanism of biology. In other words, one form of life must suffer one way or the other in order to maintain another form of life.
We should avoid causing suffering to other life forms as much as possible in our attempt to feed ourselves because we do not have all the answers about consciousness and the suffering of life forms in the natural business of survival. This is true regardless of a person's choice to be a vegan, vegetarian, herbivore, omnivore or a carnivore. In that process, we should try not to be hypocrites because we do destroy lots of animal life forms in the process of producing our seemingly herbivorous food as well. What is obvious is that the natural world is ruthless from human ethics point of view and we humans are most certainly no exception when it comes to ruthless behavior. As a matter of fact we are above all other life forms(far more ruthless) in our practice of destroying other life forms for our food supply and other survival activities, whether it is about killing animals for meat or our plant based diet.
I totally adore your heartfelt comment and agree!
I often feel the need to tell people this very fact; all animals Are conscious !!!
@@Lindsaayyy Indeed. We should at least accept the animals that behave similar to us are conscious like us. Beyond that we should consider accepting our ignorance and start from there while avoiding hypocrisy as much as possible. Dogmatic beliefs won't help us reconciling our ethical dilemmas or finding answers for existential questions.
Must think if two enthengeled events are sincronised în time? And events that made minkowski space are quantum entities?
If you understood the content of this great lesson now you know which are humanity's biggest unknowns
It literally says the edge of knowledge in the title.
Great talk.
Soooo many adverts
I’d suggest that not only do conscious systems need to sense to environment, I think they need to be able to modify it. For example, an infant waves around d it hands which modifies their visual fields plus the face and lips when hit. In addition, some of those events are uncomfortable while others pleasurable (eg. tastie)
It is one thing to be "smart". It is an entirely different thing to "have wisdom". I respect Mr. Kauss because his life has enabled him to merge the two. I do not think Lawrence was always wise, but I believe he has arrived at a place of wisdom. We would be neglecting our humanity to not listen and abide by his words.
