The Most Poetic Thing I Know About the Universe - Lawrence Krauss

"The universe is huge and old and rare things happen all the time."
- Dr. Lawrence Krauss speaks about the most poetic thing he knows about the universe, the method by which we know the distance of cosmic objects, and the expansion rate of the universe under the Richard Dawkins Foundation at AAI 2009.

I bet EvanT could explain it even better. But I respect his decision to show this other professor explaining it. Integrity. Not willing to take credit for another man’s work.

This guy will one day have 10X that. If not more. He is the most underrated physicist /teacher on YouTube.

Lawrence Krauss says the most poetic thing is we're all made of stardust.
To expand on that; essentially, we are the universe experiencing itself through human consciousness. Not only is that Poetic but it's deeply profound. 💖

Man, I would forget the rest of the world while listening to this guy.

[joesmamaofficial]

if only my teachers were this interesting to listen to

[neosodon]

I wish all my professors were this interesting to listen too.

[mattschultz]

I love higher level thinking and the videos that endorse it.

[saramarzoli]

You deserve hundreds of thousands of views

The stars die so we could live, and we die so the stars can be reborn.

[wentiantann]

But isn’t it embarrassing that we have found a star older than the universe… I love the channel btw

[lightyagami]

Can someone give the original link of the whole video

[Anvar]

So two people can be from the different stars? Or 2 people may have some % of atoms from same star

[luna]

So are we expanding as a galaxy or as individuals planets and suns

[elavazhagansivaraj]

As 10 th grade student this video made me realise that I am made of stardust

[butterfacemcgillicutty]

Yet what is more important to the vast majority of us?
War, politics, bullshit, lies and reality television.

[Anomalous-Plant]

What do you think of the new research that says the universe is nearly twice as old as thought here? 26.7 billion years old

[Cat-qocn]

Thank you star for exploding. i am now piloting this mechanized fleshbag

[subes]

didn't they just revise the age, to approximately twice??
26/28 billion years old?

science is a guess not exact, don't be so confident..
