Cosmic connections: the Universe and You with Lawrence Krauss

Показать описание

Lecture brought to you by Science & Cocktails together with ECSJ2017/Danske Videnskabsjournalister/EUSJA.
You are intimately connected to the Universe in ways you might never have imagined. Every atom in your body was once inside other stars that exploded so that you could be here today. How did the universe begin? How will it end? Why are we here in a big rock called Earth travelling through space and time?

Science & Cocktails, together with the Danish Association of Science Journalists, has the pleasure to invite you to a brilliant evening with theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss at the Grey Hall in Christiania. In an event integrated in the 4th European Conference for Science Journalists, Lawrence Krauss, the acclaimed author of A Universe from Nothing, will be telling the greatest story ever told about the universe. An evening mixed with some of the finest cocktail mixology, light installations, live art by Henrik Schutze and music performances by Tromleorkestret feat. ROSYAN on cello and their robotic, fire spitting barrel organ, as well as the funky, steamy and surf jazz by the superstars The Orgelheimers and, last but not least, a piece that will trigger specific electrical impulses in your brain with incredible 2D graphics and algorithmic electronic music by Vectral.

We may have unexpected connections to life elsewhere in the solar system, and you are also directly connected to almost every being that has ever lived on Earth. And even the most esoteric developments at the forefront of physics, from the Large Hadron Collider, to the discovery of gravitational waves impact on you in ways you might never have anticipated. In this evening, Lawrence Krauss will roam over modern discoveries in science from astronomy to particle physics, and from the remotest corners of the Universe to our own backyard.

So much more inspirational to me than the religious stories that used to excite me. Probably his best lecture yet!

54:28: Ha ha! "There's an 'invisible field' everywhere in the Universe!" I love it! Lawrence sounds as if he's doing an impersonation of one of Daniel Dennett's goofy 'stupified' voices!

Thank goodness I moved to Calgary 20yrs ago.
I feel safe here, PTSD has an upside 😊

Yeah how that are connected is the best way to go about exploring cosmos.

It is always a pleasure to listen to genius. Thank you professor Krauss.

That was amazing, thank you Pr. Krauss for your great perspective and big knowledge

It’s funny listening to the old lectures of even just a few years and hear the difference in what we know now and what they knew then. Like the fact mars has tons of water and enough to cover the surface even if melted. And the stuff proven true and the mistakes steering and changing our understanding and the speed at witch it’s happening even speeding up exponentially. Proves we are in the beginnings of the new singularity event and it’s not in the near future but now.

Lol. OMG I love this. He is so funny when he's drinking. He needs to start having a couple drinks before all his speeches.

The Big Bang: The coupling of hydrogen and pressure/energy. Something like that. Hydrogen cooked by Gamma Radiation. Where did those Gamma rays come from? That's the source of your theory of everything. I.E. the mechanism the "aliens" used to set off this whole game. "Out, out damn spot." -MacBeth

You know, some make fun of the molasses reference. Oddly, they have no sensible replacement for the analogy. "Eh, nobody keered." Jimmy, The Cab Driver.

Don't forget, some of the matter in the "Uni" verse was created during the so-called "Big Bang.". BTW, why did they give the birth of our Universe a name more appropriate for a salacious movie? Was that double-entendre intentional, secretly maybe. You know, they are both concepts involving, in a sense, fertility. It makes, ironic, sense. If f it don't make dollars, it don't me ake cents.

I just already knew this all .I THINK IO KNEW THIS .maybe this is the cosmic connection cause i contain a couple of atoms in this universe itself because I am the universe too.

"It (The Fermi Accelerator) has nothing to do directly with defending our country... except to make it worth defending". Holy shit! PERFECT
By the way, the Fermi Paradox is cool. Enrico Fermi, in a late night discussion with other physicists asked a question about extraterrestrials. He said that if the universe had so many habitable planets... and life formed on some of them... the universe must be teeming with life... and there must be a lot of advanced civilizations. So where the f--- are they? (emphasis mine lol). Why don't we detect them? Why don't they say hi?
The answer some of the physicists gave was that when a civilization evolved to where it could blow itself up... it did. That's why there aren't ETs visiting Earth and why we aren't detecting radio waves from them.
We earthlings are now at that level of a so-called Type 1 civilization. We can destroy all that we have created - by nuclear war, global warming, plague, artificial intelligence, or some other catastrophe. RIGHT NOW we are at a crossroads. Never in human history have we had the ability to destroy almost all life on Earth. A full scale nuclear war would make life extinct except for cockroaches and some other hardy creatures. Will we avoid becoming a failed planet? I say its a 50-50 chance. What do your think?

The ReSulting Effects of creation are Not what should be called accidental but incidental and unpredictable because of the level of InTelligence that produced it which most mere humans can not conceive.

We have found water on Mars, now. By the way, the poles haven't experienced the same level of tectonic churning than is the case closer to the equator. At least since the last pole shift.

I've watched it 8 times now. Awesome is an understatement. He ties it all together. Definitely his finest talk ever.
Brilliant, how he ties in the arts with the cosmos at the end, and humiliates Trump without mentioning him.
I must meet him some day. I love this guy.

"Rare events happen all the time in the universe."

That's a meme, a hash tag and a T-shirt.

coweatsman

He thinks he's smart or something... Smart isn't the word for it. Genius, and brilliant are understatements as well. I didn't care for this guy at all at first. That all changed when I shut my judgmental mouth, and listened to what he's saying.

Bla bla bla about connections, yes we get it!
Now get on with it!!!!
