When it comes to tracing the path of life as it travels through the universe, I’m pretty sure Stephen Hawking has it all figured out. I’d like to think it’s because I don’t have as much time on my hands as – and have more options than – he does – as awful and WRONG as that might sound – but it’s more that it’s just not as much of a priority for me. The whole figuring out the big picture thing just seems to fall by the wayside over and over again on my list of to-do’s.
But I’m still really interested in it, and I know that a lot of people who tune in to The Resident are a LOT smarter than I am and DO take the time to research these kinds of things, so this week I’m shamelessly asking to hear your two cents on the matter. Do you have a big bangin’ theory of your own, or know of someone else’s that seems right on point? This week, let’s talk about that. If you feel like it. Otherwise, don’t you just love the background in this one?

May 28th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
[..YouTube..] All this has happened before; and will happen again.Ok that’s a line from Battlestar Galactica but it makes sense on a universal scale. The universe was we think created by an explosion and so will eventually run out of steam and begin to contract – potentially until it’s so collapsed in the pressure causes it to explode out again. I quite like the idea; it means existence and life in the universe in some form won’t ever actually stop.
May 28th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
[..YouTube..] @korzoable that doesn’t mean anything. Karl popper claimed that the principle of science is to falsify it. The more predictions a theory makes the better it is. In this case the theory was not disproved but others were making it acceptable by eliminating other theories. This is the scientific method we use today thats why theories often change over time because the old ones were disproved.
May 28th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
[..YouTube..] That’s the hottest Big Bang theory I’ve ever seen!
May 28th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
[..YouTube..] The Book of Revelation is not about the end of everything, it’s about the end of this present evil world system, and about the beginning of Jesus Christ’s righteous kingdom on Earth. Beginning in chapter 20, e see the millenial reign of Christ begin, and then at the end of that the judgment, and all things made new. Then God’s eternal kingdom is ushered in.This present world system is passing away, and we are witnessing its death. Soon the Lord Jesus Christ returns; may we all be found ready!

May 28th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
[..YouTube..] The Christian Scriptures starts with a garden (Genesis) and ends with a garden (Revelation). Consider checking out the book of Revelation a little bit more carefully – you may find that it doesn’t end in destruction but a fullness of life.
May 28th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
[..YouTube..] The refusal to share knowledge in the Garden is an edict to remain ignorant. So long as Man remained ignorant he was welcomed in Paradise. Once he partook of Knowledge though, he was direct competition to God and cast out. Give me knowledge and damnation any day.Not that the Desert Traditions are the only ones however…
May 28th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
[..YouTube..] Lets talk about it yes, when I see people praying in front of a fucking wall with bouncing head gesture, or people bowing down on the floor and praying to some direction towards some building or someone praying to a so call someone got nail on a cross, Please those people have no self esteem and are afraid. Just idiots that need some education and some direction maybe. But believe me the only god they are going to see is dissapointment after they go back to eternal darkness.
May 28th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
[..YouTube..] The path of “Life and Good Times” begins with me. Hey baby, call me.
May 28th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
That’s not quite how it happens in the bible. Yes, genesis starts with Man being in the garden and his fall from eating an apple. But, the apple is not from the tree of knowledge but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The temptation to eat of this tree is not only in direct violation of God’s commandment but also an attempt for man to become like God through his own effort. (Like the snake said.) Then the bible goes on to describe the results of the fall. But, that’s not the point of the bible. The point is that God still loves us and intercedes in history in order to draw us back to union with him especially through the intercession of His Son. So, the Book of Revelation isn’t just a punishment for the wicked, but also describes the Second coming of Christ and reward for those who persevere. It’s not a bad thing!
Maybe I’m just taking your video too seriously. But, I don’t want anyone to be misled about what the bible actually reveals about our origins and ends. I hope you’re not offended by the correction.
God bless!

Interesting show! I once posted a request on the forum for you to discuss it
I have a custom theory based on logic thinking: the “finite reality” we perceive is really infinite in time. (infinity never started) If everything would be here by accident as some people believe, it would mean everything could also accidently not be here and then nothing would exist.
The physical can’t be the source for itself, so I believe there is a core principle at the source of everything in the universe, including ‘life’: the pursuit of stability in infinity.
Life strives to more then what already is (survival). This means we will never be able to become master of life, we can only serve life. Maybe in a way, the apple of Eden in the Bible represents humans striving to become master of life using science, which will logically lead to destruction because life requires unforseeable renewal. Every person wants to stay alive, but still we die at some age. If we would start messing arround with genetic code based on forseeable benefits we would work in the oposite way and we would be figuratively speaking making us into a stone.
If it would be good as it was, there is no reason to exist.
May 28th, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Hello,
First of all, I’m a fan of your sense of humor and personality, displayed
in all of your videos.
As a very science minded and knowledgeable man, I certainly have a perspective to offer regarding your topic of “The Path of Life, in the Universe”. By the way, I’m one of those non-practicing Catholics. I’m not really a religious minded person.
I believe science offers many plausible answers to the nature of life and the afterlife. A fundamental law of physics, decrees, that energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another.
All life is made of both matter and energy. This means, that energy and matter have always existed and there is definitely some kind of afterlife after death.
The so called “Big Bang” , of 13.7 billion years ago, could be just another,
in a very long line of “Big Bangs”, of the universe. The universe expands, collapses and begins all over again, repeatedly, forever. The big questions regarding the afterlife, are: is there consciousness and the ability to sense and interact with our environment, after death, wherever that may be?
Science guarantees there is definitely an existence of some kind, after our physical death.
It’s certainly possible the universe is cyclical, meaning reincarnation could exist.
Hope my perspective is interesting and useful. : )

Kinda creepy music in that one, Rezzie. Dontcha have a more cheerful set of tracks? Yer husband’s a profesional musician, aint he?
May 29th, 2010 at 6:42 am
History, and science is the number one reason why I question religion. And I’m not just talking about Christianity, this includes the full spectrum of creeds. Civilizations of the ancient world, all faced some measure of distress. And due to the lack of understanding the changes in the world, in comparison to today global warming. The people of it’s time called it the end of times. Basically revelation is a spawn of ignorance, and supersitions. I do believe the world will end on some level, but I rather base it on science, rather some unforeseen higher being.
May 30th, 2010 at 6:14 pm

May 30th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Well, personally, I think our universe began after matter from another got sucked through a black hole(s) and spit out the other side – it makes sense, given it’d be incredibly dense (much like it was theorized to be before the big bang). So in a way, yes – I do believe it kind of repeats itself (as black holes in our universe would do the same). The end, though, all really depends how much matter is in the universe, which is also related to its curvature. If the curvature is exactly zero, then the local geometry is flat; if it is positive, then the local geometry is spherical, and if it is negative then the local geometry is hyperbolic. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/End_of_universe.jpg/275px-End_of_universe.jpg
Now, depending on these curvatures, the universe will come to different ends – if it is flat, the universe will eventually slow down and stop expanding, and everything will just sit. If it is spherical, the universe will slow down, but never stop, expanding. If it is hyperbolic, however, the universe will eventually begin to contract, and kinda collapse in on itself. So, in the grand scheme of things, it could go very well, or not so well. But that’s pretty much the big picture.
As for the day to day, though, I like to take a little from a lot of people. However, when I really think about things, it always boils down to something Kurt told me:
We are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you different.

Some believe that Aliens from another planet came to earth way back when and gave us knowledge but since we weren’t that educated back then we thought they were God.. But others may believe in the God and that he watches us all… Honestly I still don’t know in what to believe in right know, everything is just a huge mystery to me… And I’m guessing it will be for a very, very long time.

[..YouTube..] @MegaVolcano wow, I am saying she should do a commentary about a man who was stabbed and bled to death on a sidewalk in new york while people walked by for hours and did nothing to help him and it was video taped and shown in the news. I am dick for mourning the loss of that guy and she lives in new york and will not comment about it, make a video about it, just ignore it which is similiar to the other new yorkers who walked on by and did not care? who is the real dick my friend?
May 31st, 2010 at 11:59 pm
[..YouTube..] @MegaVolcano I never said she must always so you are wrong there. she lives in new york and it was big news for two days and then forgotten and you think it is wrong to talk about what would you do if a guy was laying on a sidewalk bleeding? what would you do? is that too much reality for you? do you give a shit about anyone but yourself? you would rather talk about theory but reality such as that topic makes you angry with me? Give me a break. Dick? what a joke you are……….
June 1st, 2010 at 12:56 am

Having said that, Lori did a video on a subject that fascinated herand has no obligation to do subject that you or I feel she should. She’s a free person. Now if the guy getting stabbed and nobody helping is disturbing you, you have a youtube account. Do your own video. I’ll watch, and probably agree with you.

[..YouTube..] There are more dimensions because our 360 view is different than an ant’s. At a subatomic level, there are more dimensions, eventually bringing u to the very fibers that create protons & neutrons. Quantam Physics comes into play and states that these subatomic fibers can exist in two or more places at once. It is also known as String Theory.
June 3rd, 2010 at 9:04 pm
[..YouTube..] The latest theory in physics is the Multiverse. It states that we are just one universe in an infinite number of universes. Some cannot support stable matter and consist of gas, electricity or what have you. Others may be just like ours with a different course of events leading to a different outcome. These alternate universes exist in what is called the 11th dimension. We can see 4 dimensions (vertical, horizontal, depth & time).
June 4th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
[..YouTube..] @G58 Even to us atheists, Obama and his democrat gov’t are a bunch of gangsters. But yeah, the Bible is a pile of rubbish. I’ve read through some sections of it, and I may say that the Bible is quite a sloppily written book. Not to mention all of the suppositions that it can’t substantiate (nor any of its followers).
June 4th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
[..YouTube..] @Nuker1337 What suppositions are you talking about, and who are the followers, or is this just a mass generalization of all bible scripture, and it’s followers.
June 4th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
[..YouTube..] The bible is not one book; it is a collection of 66 books over a time period of 500 years. The first account of God, and His interaction with people is about 7000 years ago. Since that time, people have been trying to disprove the bible in part, or as a whole, and to this date not one person has been able to do so. Reading parts of the bible is like looking at parts of a movie, and then stating that you know all there is to know about the bible, and it’s all rubbish.
June 8th, 2010 at 11:43 am
to question whether the universe is a closed or open system (infinite or finite) is the real crux, and then trying to find some middle way between these two or something totally different…
we are stuck in our 3 dimensions (XYZ axis) and relative time, but we know that there are other dimensions that we are still stuck with trying to define in our 4D way of things…
its like infra red, there is nothing RED about this frequency yet its how we TRY to translate it from our narrow band of a visible spectrum we use to define it…
as to some cosmic answer, it will continue to elude us until we have several species changes away from stupid mammalian territoriality, eating, decay and death, etc… if only we were ETs that could phone home and get us off this stupid human run planet… except for Lori of course, ETs might want to take her along to continue her work as a public interviewer…
June 10th, 2010 at 1:10 am
[..YouTube..] hahaha yeah, the bible… Think there was one theory that pretty much did disprove it….. Ooooh what was it called again… Oh yeah, the common sense theory kicked it out the water…
June 10th, 2010 at 4:12 am
[..YouTube..] @deeksatube1964 Who’s common sense…yours?, yea well thanks, but no thanks. I am sure the smart ones will read the bible first, and then decide. Be sure you are right, it is only your soul that you are going to gamble with.
June 10th, 2010 at 11:18 am
[..YouTube..] Recently i’ve been quite intrigued by The Biocentric Universe theory which basically states that the living world builds the physical world around us. There are video’s on youtube about it so if you get a minute or 60 check it out.People talking about the bible… it can’t be proved or disproved truly what faith and beliefs are all about.And finally search this for a giggle “God non existence of” and you’ll find a clip from the original Hitchhiker’s Guide To the Galaxy TV series,Gordon
June 10th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
[..YouTube..] @ebalida Well yes, it is my opinion. But lets not pretend the bible is some book of facts, it is at best unclear and open to what ever slant you wish to put on it. And that is the problem, the smart once have read it and though WTF…..
June 10th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
[..YouTube..] It all means something. I just don’t know what the fuck it is. I do believe there is a God though, and he certainly does know what the fk it means.

Dear “Resident”,
Regarding your own comments of your work (videos), I think you underestimate yourself. Although you may be lacking a little in knowledge of certain things,
(which I don’t really know, since I never met you in person), you’re obviously highly perceptive, have a good sense of humor and have an energetic, inquisitive and very likable personality. Keep up the good work !
June 14th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
[..YouTube..] let us be clear, science says creation from nothing IS NOT POSSIBLE. Nice thing about sience is that you don’t have to believe in it, since there are facts and experiments which are proofs per se evident. People needs faith only when they can’t understand something, people have to believe in paradise because they never actually saw it, and since paradise was a man fantasy production, very much probably they will never see it.
June 14th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
[..YouTube..] that said, the current achievings of sience say that the universe is expanding, and it is doing it quite fast. The two possible outcomes of this fact depend on the shape of the universe itself which we actually don’t know.If the universe has a flat shape then it will expand till infinitum, the stars and planet will be so far from each other that the low temperatures will kill all the life forms in it.
June 14th, 2010 at 6:52 pm
[..YouTube..] otherwise if the universe has a spherical shape, the matter generated in the big bang will expand, but beacause of the said spherical shape all the matter will be bound to meet on the antipode of the first big bang, collapsing into a gigantic wormhole,that because of the high density of its matter will lead to another big bang, generating a circular process, much like the circle life of the universe in the pagan beliefs. look up “ultimate fate of the universe” on wiki for a more detailed account
June 14th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Thanks for remembering there’s no S in “Book of Revelation”
June 16th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
[..YouTube..] @martiangrundy It is logic. It is impossible for either matter or energy to appear from nothing. But to say that energy or matter always existed from the “beginning”(?) is also impossible. All first beginning theories are impossible.
June 16th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
[..YouTube..] @foititis It’s LOGIC is it?Well You didn’t even attempt to answer any of the questions.How about this one.You seem to suggest everything is “impossible”, and give no alternative.What’s YOUR explanation. Where did it come from then?I’m glad you seem fond of logic, let’s hope you can answer in a logical fashion.
June 16th, 2010 at 11:24 pm
[..YouTube..] @martiangrundy I actually wrote an article about it on: spectrum magazine online. Search for an article written by Jakob Thibault.I don’t purport to know where matter appeared from. I just know that it is impossible that matter or energy to appear out of nothing without a super-natural occurrence.
June 17th, 2010 at 9:55 am
[..YouTube..] well, i thought it was pretty clear. Probably it needs clarification, than it isn’t. These scientific theories come to the same conclusions that produced the first naturalists phylosophers 500 B.C.: the universe is eternal. “This cosmos wasn’t made by any god, nor man, but it always was, is, and will be, everlasting sacred fire, that with measure burns and with measure extinguish himself”
June 20th, 2010 at 1:51 am
[..YouTube..] Your trying to add an abstract (pattern) notion to a composite development of universal physics in differing magnitudes of operation. Your better off asking the wall if it can bang flies. Or relate the whole wall to specific deficiencies called microscopic holes which impact upon the inner constitution of its chemical allocation in the energetic scheme of its environment during the elapse of all household lifetime events. [Is it Freudian to mention Captain Crunch and Big Bang in the same vid?]
June 24th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
[..YouTube..] @stubbornVN Actually is just replying the only two accounted physical theoris existing:the universe expands to infinite, or it expands till collapsing again on itself. Seems pretty clear to me. If you have other options you should let all the scientist in the world know.the fact that is eternal: this is the obvious conclusion assuming the laws of thermodinamics!As I said, nice thing about science is that you don’t have to believe in it, basically because is the best approx. to truth
June 24th, 2010 at 4:38 pm
[..YouTube..] @stubbornVN just to make some laughs: mentioning the universe collapse you talk about capitain crunch which sponsors cereals? eating and destruction instincts? i’d say definitely issues with the oral phase man XD
June 24th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube My expectation of the big bang theory is that its somewhere near the garbage in the industry. Flights don’t even check the limits of its concerns yet; we’ll talk later maybe?
June 25th, 2010 at 8:05 am
[..YouTube..] @stubbornVN well man if you reject science, then there’s no point in trying to make any kind of rational discussion, is there?
June 25th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube well if I reject science here, theres plenty more to go around; I don’t understand why you’d cry over the Big Bang Theory. There’s is at least one scientist who published on data for movement from beyond the Big Bang fringe. Obviously as time progresses if it is a fictional ‘end of things’ the number of publishers will increase. Common education will lose its most memorable theory.
June 26th, 2010 at 9:20 am
[..YouTube..] @stubbornVN That happens because I prefer to understand science instead of going around talking bogus.Every day the scientific community proves wrong hundreds of bugus theories of scientists who claim to have solved the secrets of the universe. Until the scientific community has proven something true I don’t even bother caring.

[..YouTube..] We all become exactly what created us, the universe, or as I call it- the Maker. Many call the Maker- God, Yahweh, Alah, ect. If we scientifically came from beginning of substance itself, the universe would be our creator. A star is very similar to a cell, with the exception of conditional immortality. Proof of the soul could be known as what is called the action potential. 3 is an important number, and the sphere being the most important shape in the universe. Void=matter as male=female.

[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain I’d like to point out that i can only appreciate the precision of your answer. That said what is in question is the fact that something like a simulation is not entirely equiparable to reality. Even if with a simulation we will be capable of reproducing social or individual behavioural patterns. another is the chance of creating a full indipendent artificial intelligence. Now that possibility i don’t feel confortable discussing, I think will better face the issue when it becomes true
July 4th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – “what is in question is the fact that something like a simulation is not entirely equiparable to reality.” Surprisingly, they are both quantized; our reality is quantized in all dimensions. Hard to believe, at first, but it’s true. The varying parts between “reality” and a simulation are precision, capacity, and mechanics (the algorithms that make things work). You cannot prove that you are not now living in a massive digital simulation. Quantization absolutely = digital.

[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – p2 – Almost forgot. Regarding fully independent AI: Search YouTube for “Dharmendra Modha” and “Singularity Summit”. There are an amazing number of scientists doing research and making tremendous discoveries regarding how the brain works (how it is structured, wired, and computes). Some are perhaps one or two decades away from creating a synthetic brain on the order of complexity of a human brain. Miniaturization and capacity+ability beyond human in the decades to follow that.
July 5th, 2010 at 5:03 am
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain Yeah, I am familiar with the theory of simulation, and it’s fascinating, but the issue here is determining the truth. Now when it comes to this issue, the most common fault of humanity is making assumptions that make the universe apper like we want to. The hidden assumption of the simulation is that somebody or something is already performing it. Now it doesn’t take a psychologist to see how the need to see something behind reality is a matter of compelling human desires..
July 5th, 2010 at 5:08 am
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain in these matter we have to think about the possibility (which i actually don’t share, but still!) that the universe is the result of a random set of interactions and, in the effort of understanding it, we’re applying models, like algoritms, which shape the universe in a way understandable from our brains: but this way we’re shaping phenomenons, givin them a order which is fictional, because without an observer in nature there is not time or order, but just continuos unordered change
July 5th, 2010 at 5:13 am
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain this way we’re finding back what we put in the universe to understand it in the first place: we cry for order, or simulation (which all by itself implies a project), without being aware that in the effort of understanding the chaos we put in it order and principles (like the information principle) which are naturally assumed by the mechanics of our knowledge, but which nobody can prove to be actually in the universe, instead of only in our mind.
July 5th, 2010 at 8:32 am
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – “…to see how the need to see something behind reality…” You’re misunderstanding my point. I’m just pointing out POSSIBILITIES, not projecting what is. After all, how can anyone truly know “is”?
July 5th, 2010 at 8:51 am
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – I agree up to the point regarding the necessity for an observer. There are some interpretations of QM that show that wave function collapse may be an illusion, an epiphenomenon of quantum decoherence that we merely interpret as being a need for an observer. The many-worlds interpretation is one such interpretation that eschews “observer”. So, in fact, I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with you regarding the need for an observer. It is merely a possibility. There’s that word again.
July 5th, 2010 at 9:08 am
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – “…but which nobody can prove to be actually in the universe…” So… this then would not be an absolute; only be a… possibility. My original proposition is basically, “Why only one possibility for existence? Why can’t existence work in infinite ways?” Consider that what we know as existence as one “existant”. What precludes infinite existants which may or may not be distinctly different in varying ways? Our QM (mechanics of existence) may be but one of an infinite number.
July 5th, 2010 at 9:23 am
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – p4- If you think about it deeply, you might just see that possibility is the only thing that just IS and which also makes way for infinity. Possibility immediately springs forth infinite more possibility (repeat ad infinitum). With interaction being a possibility, “probability” becomes. With probability comes “realities”. With realities come “circumstances”. With circumstances come “higher-order interaction” and “things”. Ok, this is all just talk of possibility, nothing more.
July 5th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain Let me point out that I deeply appreciate your passion in the matter.
I now understand your point of view, and I respect it, but mine is a little different. I’d like to show you way, maybe you’ll find it interesting, even not sharing it. First thing I do when talking about knowledge is searching the source of it. Now everithing that comes under the word “being” presents itself to our senses, or to our mind (conscience) in these terms: presence. It doesn’t matters if your touching
July 5th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain if your smelling, if you’re seeing or remembering it. It presents itself. Now when a scientists tries to predict the place of the fell of a ball, or the trajectory of en electron or any other event, he uses his abstraction capacities, his thought, to figure out all the possible scenarios, and decide between all of them the one who will actually happen. Now possibility is a child of the tought, because one function of thinking is abstraction, the capacity to take something, put it out
July 5th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain of his context, and find the general frame which fits all the objects who match this deion: example the thing “atom” is a concept which includes all the kind of existing atoms, but concretely is none of them for its a generalization, it’s just an ontologic region we could say, but it’s nothing concrete, to tell it simply it’s an “idea”. Now with ideas you can do whatever you want: if you take something out of his context, like person, you can figure out all the things you want
July 5th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain of his context, and find the general frame which fits all the objects who match this description: example the thing “atom” is a concept which includes all the kind of existing atoms, but concretely is none of them for its a generalization, it’s just an ontologic region we could say, but it’s nothing concrete, to tell it simply it’s an “idea”. Now with ideas you can do whatever you want: if you take something out of his context, like person, you can figure out all the things you want
July 5th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain about it: you can imagine a person eatin, or sleeping, or having sex, or killing. If you take a particular person, an existing person, things are different: for example in this exact moment, the maker of this silly video will be doing a particular thing because of all the events that are happened to her before this one. So trying to figure out what she’s actually doing, you can imagine her in many activities, but what REALLY she’s doing will, and will always be one thing.
July 5th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain Now what we can say, in my modest opinion is that, possibility or chance, is the fruit of our ignorance, is the consequence of our incapacity of calculate all the events and variables that describe the life of our fellow reporter. Not knowing the CONCRETE person we have to use the malleability of the concept, his LACK OF DETERMINATION, to figure out many possible or plausible scenarios, which actually do not exist, that we CREATED with the power of our thought
July 5th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain Now according to this reflections would be a serious mistake to take something we’ve created in the process of understanding the world, within our minds and put it out there, and start saying that there are a lot of universes, a very confortable opinion since nobody can verify it. All for now I find easier to believe that there’s only one universe, the one in which we live and that we can experience in many ways, and all the others are only the mistakes, the garbage of our thought.
July 5th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – p1 – “Now possibility is a child of the tought, because one function of thinking is abstraction, the capacity to take something, put it out ” This is only a particular interpretation. See Wikipedia “Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics”. Again, the many-worlds and some other interpretations do not require an observer or thought to manifest reality. Yours is just one of the many possibilities of how reality might actually work.
July 5th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – p2 – “…to tell it simply it’s an “idea”. No, to tell it more simply, it MAY have to do with an “idea” or things of the mind as that interpretation is one of the many “possible” interpretations. You are trying to force your interpretation of QM onto the world. You are contradicting one of your own premises: We can’t possibly know for sure. Therefore, we are still left saying only that it is a “possibility”.
July 5th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – p3 – “…but what REALLY she’s doing will, and will always be one thing. ” But, again, that is speculating on which of the possible interpretations of QM is correct.
July 5th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – p4 – “Now what we can say, in my modest opinion is that, possibility or chance, is the fruit of our ignorance…” Only if you first assume that our thinking, awareness and observation have anything to do with how reality manifests.
July 5th, 2010 at 5:00 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – “…start saying that there are a lot of universes, a very confortable opinion since nobody can verify it. ” Even though we experience only one universe, can anyone verify that this is the only one? Or is it simply a comfortable opinion since nobody can verify it? Each is only a possible interpretation. Each is subject to the same problem of verifiability. To slam one for its inability to be verified, you must slam them all, right? The net result of your argument here is zero.
July 5th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain Man you have to get it. I told you it was my point of view. And since its a metaphysical point of view, as all the point of view which constitute the ground for a speculations they are not confutable, since, the same facts, from the two different point of view are unable to prove neither one point of view nor the other false. Now i get it. You like the matrix, but i don’t really care. What do you think is simpler that trying to forsee if tomorrow will rain i fantasize
July 5th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain about all the weather chances, sunny, cloudy, rainy etc, or the fact that there are as many universes with many different weather conditions? i tend to know which kind of answer will give somebody who watches too many sci-fiction movies.EVEN IF there were lots of universes: WHO CARES! nobody seems to be able to experience them nor to take a walk in those other universes, so which kind of UTILITY has aknowledge the fact that there are many!?!?!? come on!!!
July 5th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – “Now i get it. You like the matrix, but i don’t really care. What do you think is simpler that trying to forsee if tomorrow will rain i fantasize.” No, bud, ha ha… you don’t get it. ha ha ha… it’s precisely that I have no preference. That is the point. I’m am not denying any possibility. You are the one who is expressing a preference. Now, do you get it? For real this time? Ha ha ha. Funny.
July 5th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube -”so which kind of UTILITY has aknowledge the fact that there are many!?!?!?” It is you who are turning a possibility into an alleged fact. I’ve only risen it as a what?… a possibility. Right now, to declare that any plausible interpretation of QM is true or false is an act of arrogance. Even my extreme exploration of possibility is a plausible interpretation of QM It’s what’s called an intellectual exercise. To deny its plausibility is a sure sign of short-sightedness. Come on!!
July 6th, 2010 at 11:30 am
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain It’s quite simple to take statements and put them out of the context, you can make anybody say what you want. If you read carefully, you would have understood that i was only sharing my point of view: now i get the fact that from an argument you want others to recognise that you’re right, but beware! there can be more to it! The fact that you recognize possibility, is a theoritical point of view THAT COULD ACTUALLY BE WRONG. the fact that you believe that analysing more possibilities
July 6th, 2010 at 11:41 am
[..YouTube..] you are being more correct, or less wrong is a scientifical prejudice, of which you’re obviously not aware of. Again i am only sharing which of the interpretations I PREFER between the one existing analyzing it from the HISTORICAL GENESIS OF THE SCIENCE perspective, which usually gives to the men the responsablility of their scientifical system, not to the universe. And yeah, i like booties, i am not ashamed of it, i am a man:even because when i want to study i have university, usually not utube
July 6th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – Honestly, I completely respect your position. Please forgive me regarding the “booties” comment. That was totally foul and out of line and EXTREMELY hypocritical as I am quite an aficionado of booties myself. Thus, the deletion of that comment from public view. I’m sorry that it didn’t also delete it from your inbox. I deleted it for that reason and also because that attacking and counter-attacking is completely useless and I hate seeing people (myself included) devolve to that.
July 6th, 2010 at 12:22 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – Another thing, honestly, I have enjoyed our conversation, because you actually proved yourself well beyond my original discounting assessment. I had mistakenly, perhaps arrogantly, assumed that most people were in agreement with the plausibility of the many-worlds view (due to its spread among popular science media), and that, by extension, “possibility” as a spark for all things would be obviously plausible as an abstract answer to TR’s question. I’m usually less insistent.
July 6th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain I most appreciate your honesty, now just because I am persuaded that you have a brilliant mind, and that would be sad to see the undredth smart guy doing the internet lam-o. I mostly enjoyed this conversation too, and even if opposite to mine I deeply respect your point of view, since I believe the only things or persons that don’t deserve respect are those who are unable to use their minds, and argument reasonably their perspective. However I am persuaded that science, even if
July 6th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
[..YouTube..] is one of the most majestic tools of our knowledge, perhaps the most majestic, will not answer all the quastions we have about the universe. Even is scientists would discover the most acclaimed unified theory, still nobody would be able to answer WHY THE HELL we live, and why the universe exists (or was created) in the first place. But I think this is the magic: i believe the only SACRED thing in the universe is MISTERY of the universe itself, and that i am persuaded nobody will solve.
July 6th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – “…to answer WHY THE HELL we live, and why the universe exists…” — Very good, my friend… the absolute heart of the matter and the spur that led me to thinking of “possibility” possibly as being… just being… in and of itself. IF (BIG “if”) possibility exists without having to be first manifest, then it is the answer: Through it, “ALL” (an infinite infinity of alls) can immediately or eventually become simply because it is possible for them to. Agreed, though, a mystery.
July 6th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
[..YouTube..] @azraeleutube – p2 – Why do we endeavor to entertain such mental circuses when there is no true hope of divining the definitive answer? For the very reason that TheResident posed it in the first place… because we exist, existence is puzzling, we evolved partially for the purpose of solving puzzles, but, perhaps, mainly because it’s fun and entertaining to warp our minds beyond what our universe-bound existence normally limits us to conceive.
July 6th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
[..YouTube..] @BigMTBrain – p3 – Lastly, perhaps it goes without saying, these types of discussions about the “big” questions are never scientific, they are philosophic. They can only be philosophic, though they might employ scientific thinking and discovery to bolster or diminish the plausibility of any giving proposition and position. Ha ha… philosophical debates will rage on and on… great (sometimes) intellectual sport.

August 29th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
[..YouTube..] What percentage of your videos make a hilariously transparent reference to sex in the title? Your channel should be called, “Hi, I’m reasonably hot as you can see, the title of this video suggests I will talk about sex or something else that will make people click on it, generally what I’ll actually do is give you a pointless, 8th grade-level take on some random issue.” Good job marketing yourself to the lonely male jack-off crowd on YouTube, but you clearly have nothing interesting to say.
