      Life takes information to proceed on. But to atheists/agnostics, chaos through time gave us information. Although it's even hard to write such a ridiculous statement, they believe it. All one can do is laugh at such stupidity.

      To this dumbass, it's ok to say that space, matter, time, and the laws of physics, ALL being there ALREADY with NO explanation of how, is OK to call "nothing". There, by that alone, Krauss excused himself of all of that. You simply come up with a childish snot-nosed brat excuse to call it "nothing".
      But it gets worse, space, matter, time, and the laws of physics, called nothing, created more space, matter, and time. The laws of physics were broken to create more space, matter, and time. Keep in mind (for those that have a working mind), that this "nothing" was eternal, and just by chance about 13 billion years ago according to Krauss, then did its magic. The 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics were asleep then.
      *Krauss' attempt to dispell the need of God, just confirms the need.*
      "A vacuum, to us, is a space with no matter in it. As a practical matter though, it's really a space with very little matter in it. You might already know that it's REALLY hard to get all the matter out of any space"

      "Relativistic-quantum-field-theoretical vacuum states - no less than giraffes or refrigerators or solar systems - are particular arrangements of elementary physical stuff."-
      from: www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/books/review/a-universe-from-nothing-by-lawrence-m-krauss.html?_r=0
      "That makes Matter = Energy; Energy = Space; Space = Time. Therefore matter, energy, space and time are all interchangeable characteristics, which implies strongly that they are all forms of one thing."

      And this "nothing" from chaos gave us the fine-tuning.

      kgov.com/fine-tuning-of-the-universe
      I like starting from the beginning because it shows how we got something to begin with. Not just that, it shows from the start who gave up their logic and who did not.
      From all we know, creation HAD to be a supernatural event. The first logical and honest step is to admit that. The second step is to seek who or what did the supernatural event and the proof for that. Fools jump to 'who created god', 'god of the gaps', 'science does not deal with supernatural' and whatever excuse they can use to prevent them from seeing the truth. All they can do is fart smoke screens to avoid the issue at hand.
      Those that deny it was a supernatural event, such a Krauss, Dawkins and a whole host of other fools, live in their fairytale of just making things up with nothing to back them. They say things so outrageous that they ask you to give up your common sense for science. Krauss and Dawkins go back and forth calling it "literally nothing" knowing it is something, and even their something can't produce what we have.
      czcams.com/video/UT3dfPOdAYU/video.html
      Krauss admits he does not give a damn what nothing means and he then says he wants to be honest with his readers. He is full of doublespeak. He is WRONG and all he has is pride to continue saying such stupid things.
      www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/books/review/a-universe-from-nothing-by-lawrence-m-krauss.html?_r=1
      "One unsolved mystery is why there is an excess of mater in our universe; this is the Matter/antimatter problem. Why is the universe only made of matter? Matter/antimatter particles annihilate each other to produce radiation. Radiation coverts to equal amounts of matter and anti matter. Krauss says that the CMB suggests the photon-to-proton ratio was a billion to one. He says that by ‘plausible quantum processes’ the universe started out with 1 part per billion more matter than antimatter. Most of the matter and antimatter combined to make photons. Later he admits we still don’t really know how this asymmetry between matter and antimatter began."
      "The energy calculated for empty space assuming virtual particles is 10 to the 120 times greater than that observed. This is a long-standing unsolved problem."
      "Krauss also says that this proves you can get something from nothing given the energetics of empty space and the law of gravity. So he says you can get a universe from nothing if you can start with empty space with non-zero energy and the laws of gravity and quantum mechanics. He admits empty space with non-zero energy is something!"
      Quotes from another review of Krauss' book here: creation.com/review-krauss-universe-from-nothing
      You can read Hawking, Krauss, Dawkins, and others who praise their gravity but they just made it up and have no idea where it could have come from. And the list goes on. All they have comes down to nothing.
      From the start, fools gave up their logic and that does not bother them. When it does not bother someone from the start, they continue giving up their logic with what follows.
      Funny too how Epstein helped Krauss. That money wasn't from nothing, it was from someone disgusting helping another disgusting person, Krauss.

      I thought if was excellent when I first watched it but as much as we got the message throughout the show that we are here for others too, the show did centre around one character. The others were there purely as a sounding board. If you look at sitcoms with real characters where the script centres around other people in the show not just the lead, we see where after life falls down.

      I am a physicist. I defined physics as the simplest of sciences: This is why it can be put in mathematical form so easily. You can be snobby about it, but in the end, it is pretty ludicrous.
      I remember as a kid wanting to be a physicist or a mathematician because it was easy: all yes or no answers....(Math especially). But I was not smart enough to be a mathematician. But I was reassured when I heard Terence Tao ( a man with a stratospheric IQ) saying basically the same thing. Psychology/history.etc... is simply too hard and you can easily find yourself BSing.
      There is a small difference between men and women that makes it uncomfortable I believe for women to be a physicist. Women (or Asian for that matter, I live in Japan), are practical. So when you start a lecture by saying "neglect friction", which was Galileo's genius idea, many girls are perplexed and treated with contempt. Honestly, a world without friction is insane.
      Boys tend to think:" Wow, let us see where that will lead us." We are more comfortable with what I call "Mental masturbation", playing pointlessly with ourselves intellectually".
      I do not believe that one should change the curriculum. But we should be more aware of cultural differences that make physics difficult for Asians and also for women. Asians are good at technology but not in pure sciences.
      What do you think?
      PS cultural does not apply ti women I believe. We seem to have different inherited skills.

      The play, and sense of humour in that room were just wonderful.
      There were several women there, a couple of them spoke who are a big part of the project. It was such a fun, and interesting party. I had a blast, and learned a little about the project.

My Japanese colleagues were amazed to find that Western mathematicians, for example, believe that mathematics is discovered rather than invented..... This is why Asians are more interest in technology than science per se. Science for them is important because it has led to technology since the Renaissance.

    Ricky is truly , one of a kind.
    He’s a great teacher through comedy , & he’s someone who just seems to have an endless amount of knowledge.
    An far , far more academic than most people realise.
    And I’ve noticed that as I’ve grown up on his work.
    Personally I grew up with things like , ‘The Ricky Gervais show’ , little Britain , doctor who…. Things of that nature , being British…😂
    But, Ricky is one comic that’s always stood out too me , even when compared too the American comics , he just has this unparalleled flair that even they over there recognise.
    He never wanted to do this…. And I think that always makes the best comic stories.
    The person who doesn’t want to do it… and takes over the world when they do.
    He was a writer , director first , and he fucking smashed it at that.
    He literally had hit after hit , for YEARS…
    And loads of that work , was script free….😂 which says a lot.
    He has an eye for comedy & tv in general , and knows EXACTLY how to make literally everything & anything funny.
    But he’s also just overly talented when it comes too a pen & paper.
    He comes up with amazing content, and that content always has an extremely, extremely long shelf life.
    I can’t count the amount of times I’ve rewatched the old pods with Ricky , Steve & Karl….😂
    And he also created Afterlife… and again , he really showed how strong his writing & acting abilities were.
    He definitely , without a doubt is one of the greatest comics to ever grace a mic or screen.
    I definitely think he’s a top 3 or 5 for me personally.

      "People who believe in God don’t need proof of his existence, and they certainly don’t want evidence to the contrary. They are happy with their belief. They even say things like “it’s true to me” and “it’s faith." Ricky Gervais
      Ricky does not know what biblical faith is because he just does not care to know but he'd rather fart out lies.
      Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.
      Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
      Ricky is a liar. He believes his god of nothing did miracles naturally with nothing as proof it could. He cares NOTHING about what is observed. What a hypocrite!
      His god claims to have given us the universe, fine-tuning of the universe for life, life from non-life, information for life before and after it began, the laws of nature, etc, etc, when we know that your god of nothing can do nothing. His god of nothing has nothing to offer and its followers only offer nothing of evidence for their god of nothing. That makes him nothing of importance but the followers of the god of nothing are so delusional that they think they do have something to offer to defend their god of nothing.

    We've always known Krauss is brilliant. But who knew Gervais was, too? Okay, I lie. After watching a number of Gervais interviews, never mind "Invention of Lying" blowing me away, I was starting to get that picture. What a delight to revel in these two keen minds bouncing off one another! These men fill one with joyful hope for humanity.

    My personal turning point was when I was 8 and I got told not to come back to a kids bible club because I "asked too many silly questions." At the time I was learning about Greek mythology and I could not understand how the story of Samson was a historical fact, but Hercules was just a myth.

The obsessive pursuit of Trump only makes the rigging of the 2020 election more plausible and the US a banana Republic. I bet he liked the divisive smarmy Obama too.

    I've read a couple of Mr. Krause's books. He can explain science pretty well but not as well as Richard Feynman. What I like is his ability to connect science to life. Ricky is coming to the answers from the other direction and he's just as intelligent. He's connecting the dots. Of the two, Ricky is more relatable because he doesn't take himself so seriously.
