Professor Tegmark is my favourite physicist. 💥Highly intelligent, humble, humorous and an all-round nice guy... always a joy to watch. 👌
Thank you for both your contribution and presentations. 👀

This guy is my favorite speaker. Such a joy to listen to.

Explains it in simple terms. Funny and informative presentation. I wish I had this guy as a teacher.

fantastic max! i love thinking about this and have concluded that there is quite a paradox in our human understanding. while most think time is time and space is space, i say nope. time is space. think about when you are not moving, like sitting all day. time fades and spurts based upon how much you do mentally, the amount of things you do. and space is time. think about driving, when we are moving across distances they come and go at different amounts yet time is then sensed and more constant. so when we look up at the sky we should not say we see space, but that we are looking at time. only way we could see space then is to look at something from the exact same spot years apart!

The most exciting thing is our universe... thank you all the Scientists to pursue this and revealing these big mysteries..

Tack för föreläsningen Max, det ska bli spännande att dels fortsätta följa ert insamlande av data från radioteleskopen men även fortsätta följa dina eskapader inom den övriga världsledande forskningen om universums födelse och framtid. Det skänker mig stor glädje och en djupare insikt i om vi kommer närmare svaret 42...

Some of those science guys and ladies seem nervous and awkward in front of the audience but at the same time super excited about what they do and what they talk about.

Honestly if we had astrophysics in my school when I was a kid I would have been living a different life right now.

[PetraKann]

Superb presentation.
From Aristarchus and Eratosthenes to the omniscope at MIT

I like the passion of this man telling the audience about the universe. He’s a nice guy really 👌☺️. Wonderful

I have a question(may be stupid one). Big Bang happened from a single apple sized object and then all transitions happened. Now we are looking back to the time and we can see the opaque plasma background. My question is in the lecture Max says we are looking from inside to out side... why is it not from out side to inside? Thanks

🚗 Eeeyyooong! 🚐
😄 His example of the doppler effect made me laugh (20:51)

I like the way Brian Greene and Max explain things.

[subReme]

I haven't seen him ever since the cosmo documentary years ago.

[SmoothCompassion]

Perfectly scientifically accurate!!
🖖😎

[raingodmusic]

max is the man if max were my professor I would have continued with my studies

[alexj]

What this world needs is a new Einstein to explain the quantum mysteries, and he's the man.

[Badcrow]

Max tegmark sounds like a superhero name

[totalfreedom]

Max Tegmark rocks, even though he's not a rock star. He's well off the chain. 💕 ☮ 🌎 🌌
