Lawrence Krauss: Hidden Realities - The Greatest Story Ever Told... So Far (at Conway Hall)

--

The Conway Memorial Lecture 2016 with Lawrence Krauss. Chaired by A. C. Grayling.

This is how the story of the greatest intellectual adventure in history should be introduced - how humanity reached its current understanding of the universe, one that is far removed from the realm of everyday experience. Krauss connects the world we know with the invisible world all around us, which is removed from intuition and direct sensation. He explains our current understanding of nature and the struggle to construct the greatest theoretical edifice ever assembled, the Standard Model of Particle Physics -- and then to understand its implications for our existence.

[This talk was filmed at Conway Hall, London, in 2016]

Lawrence Krauss makes me cry of joy for the knowledge and the advancements in science in our life time. This conference is so good that everybody should watch it. He has the ability to make you understand the most difficult theories. Thank so much Lawrence.

Who knew that i would be living in the time of new physics Titans and that i would be able to grasp history while its in the making. Real progress observable in our lifetime!

It is the worst of times, politics are part of our daily lives. I am glad intelligent people are discussing it.

[shawnkelso]

The MORE I come to KNOW, The MORE I come to KNOW I "REALLY DONT"KNOW.

[renehenriksen]

I wonder what a world without politics would look like.

[Taffeyboy]

Great lecture despite The moderators politics. Let’s go Brandon!

[redneckways]

reading these comments make me so happy knowing people are awakening

Imagine somebody didn’t torch the Library of Alexandria and we get something more than just Plato

[mogreasy]

Lawrence Krauss is just over the top with his discussion talks, and I wish he did more of them.

The hidden reality theory is one the most interesting idea that has ever existed and I think will ever exist. This is because in hidden reality every thing is possible simply because no one has information to conclude on yes or no. That's why the reality is hidden and so interesting.

when asked what its like being the smartest person on earth Einstein replied "I don't know ask Mr. Tesla"

[zacharykanebronson]

Brilliant? That's definitely debatable. Boring? Absolutely!

[aliciascat]

Everyone on Earth 🌏 needs to stop and watch this now. Brilliant.

[christiamhaagensen]

Glad I read the comments before 10 minutes in.
Farewell

Personal politics has no place in a science lecture.

[nomoreme]

Lawrence is such a great physicist that i always care about his ideas on that. I do not however care about his political views especially that i take it he preferred Hillary.

[primus]

I was torn between this and "The Great British Bake Off"
I chose wisely.

[ianspence]

I love the way the staunch materialist Lawrence Krauss very carefully calls it an 'accident' rather than a 'miracle'. Especially when in this case both mean the same thing. As Einstein said: Either you believe it all happened by accident or you believe it was a miracle.

It looks like he's standing next to a big bottle of cologne.

This talk is amazing. It is the best Lawrence Krauss talk that I have ever watched. Thanks for sharing it.
