Does Space Exist Without Matter? w/ Tevin Naidu

What’s the relationship between matter and space-time? What’s the fundamental nature of reality? And how should we, as science communicators, push back against anti-scientific BS?

These are just some of the topics I had the pleasure of discussing with Tevin Naidu. Tevin is a medical doctor, philosopher, and ethicist whose academic work spans theories of consciousness, computational psychiatry, phenomenological psychopathology, values-based practice, moral luck, addiction, and the philosophy and ethics of science, mind, and mental health.

Which podcast didn't post your appearance?

[oliverjamito]

Shared "i" AM come forth! A little precious treasure will say, it's amazing! In a BLINK of an EYE! Finally can see!

[oliverjamito]

Students shared "i" AM remind and comes with comfort unto all the spit out! Bring back flavor! From without taste! Intent good for nothing! But self exaltation!

[kmktruthserum]

I do find your lobotomy insight to be very intriguing and I do believe that there are a few people that would prove to benefit from such a medical surgery.

SPACE TIME MATTER, BEFORE SPACE AND TIME THERE WAS ONLY MATTER.

[nunomaroco]

Hi, lots of knowledge Dr. Brian, thanks a lot, really appreciate your Scientific

[nelbongellor]

Hi me again. In reference to defending NASA. I grew up during the space race. An uncle and aunt worked at NASA. Always a huge fan until the climate. Sent a X/tweet to look over. Thanks.

[oliverjamito]

Unto all in plain view! Willing to come forth! Come take thy shoes nor sandals off! Come my Own let me wash thy feet to be given New feet! Are ye crying? Sincere tears is recognize! Come let me wipe your tears from your eyes! Love you without shame but with boldness! Gratitude and Honor

How in the world did he remember my question? That's crazy. I was the someone who asked if there was any radioactivity

[vktu]

Great episode, Doc! You being interviewed is awesome too :D... I have an interesting proposal/suggestion ;)

[oliverjamito]

My Heir Host Tevin thank you for thy visitation and attending unto our OWN. Love you too! Imagine there's no neighbors. How else can ye show off unto WHO? Beloved made a New Table.

I enjoyed listening to this conversation very much.

What hour do you actually talk about space and time ????

[theostapel]

Space - is the fore-runner of everything. It is the state of Akasha (India)
Has no matter in it - and is eternal.
Time is a later development - when energy moves = Duration - thence time - appears.
Continual movement and heat produce - matter.
(Hint from Raja yoga meditation).
Fare thee well - on life's journey.

[OSAS]

Normie here. 😊 Dr. K, I really enjoy your POV on science and your civil attitude to everyone, even those who don't deserve it 😂 I learn so much from your channel and try hard to retain most of it. Just wanna say you should consider narrating children's books or maybe do a science channel targeted to kids. I think your voice and manner is perfect and you would definitely inspire many kids to pursue a career in science.

Does time exist without particle or wave movement?

[soopergoof]

I haven't had a chance to watch the vid yet, but wanta address the question: "Does Space Exist Without Matter?"

Does the ocean exist without the fish?

The current physics model predicated on non-existence of space medium (the subPlanckian Plenum), portraying space to be a "vacuum", is as if the science of Oceanography were based on non-existence of the ocean (!). The sitting vacuum aka 'spacetime' model is a paradigm inversion eclipsing the geocentrism/heliocentrism inversion, and needs to be upended with the Plenum model.
