Krauss '11: Cosmic Connections

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL & HERE TOO:- https://www.youtube.com/user/MrMindFeed Conway Hall, London Sunday 16th Oct. 2011 "Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust" Lawrence Krauss Professor of Earth and Space Exploration, Lawrence Krauss, isn't immune to small irritations of daily living. However, he can see the bigger picture. In this 'secular sermon' he shows how each of us is connected to the cosmos in ways we'd never imagine. From the stardust we're made of, to the atoms we breathe, to the curving of space time that governs the way we make our way through traffic jams, to time travel itself. Dr Lawrence Krauss is a prolific and popular writer and an indefatigable fighter for science and critical thinking. At Arizona State University, he is Foundation Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration and Physics Departments, Associate Director of the Beyond Center, and Co-Director of the Cosmology Initiative. He is also Director of the exciting new Origins Initiative, which explores questions ranging from the origin of the Universe to the origins of human culture and cognition. He has studied and explained matters from the microscopic to astronomical. In performing with the Cleveland Orchestra, judging at the Sundance Film Festival, and his Grammy nominated notes for Telarc Records, Krauss has also bridged the chasm between science and popular culture. http://www.theschooloflife.com/ http://vimeo.com/theschooloflife http://azureworld.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/nassim-haramein-fraud-or-sage-part-2.html

fantastic as always Lawrence Krauss
-
.....all this time I've said I'm just here to sprinkle a bit of stardust around this broken world, and in the end it seems it's true.......wow!!!
-
Although this may be the third time I have seen this, it is amazing that 41 people dissaprove ofthis video. I think its their religious views that affect their thinking.
-
Great show. In short, this is heaven,enjoy every moment
-
What he sais about the water molecules at 37:00, is that legit?
-
I enjoy listening to Lawrence Krauss, both his cosmology lectures and his religious debates. He is both informative and entertaining. I am also proud that I teach at the same university where he received his Batchelor's degree in physics (just wish some of his brilliance would rub off on me).

"Every atom in your body has experienced, maybe more than once, the most violent explosion in the universe." I love that we are stare dust.
-
GPS programmers must adjust their satellites' clocks to distribute 38K nanoseconds equally throughout any given day to account for the space-time "nuances" of Special Relativity and General Relativity...which Einstein mathematically predicted seventy years before the first GPS satellite was ever launched. This guy has a beautiful habit of blowing my mind.

I gladly accept that all my atoms were donated by ancient exploding stars. What I still don't get what facilitates the coalescing of atoms into organic matter. For instance, my parents' zygotes mixed to create an embryo, and from that moment DNA "built" me. Well in order to do that, building materials like oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, calcium, etc. were needed. How are freely floating atoms plucked from the universe and organized into new, complex organic systems?
-
thank you SOOOOOOO MUCH for the image of drinking atoms of the sweat of my parents :)
-
Have we found a star that could destroy our system with a supernovae?
-
Looking out there into space is looking into the past. Just imagine the changes that may have happened, that will not be seen for ages or longer to come. Again because looking into space, is looking into the past since such light takes ages to get here. We may be looking at one of those so called earth like planets that they have found. But what we are seeing is that earth like planet in its past, so by now who knows, there could be advanced life there.

Lawrence Krauss is fond of saying that every atom in your body came from a star. But at least some hydrogen formed before stars. Our bodies contain hydrogen. Therefore some of our atoms did not come from a star. Suck it, Krauss.
-
Well, some GPS systems are off that much!
-
nice lecture, thanks
-
I just finished reading Krauss's book A Universe From Nothing, it's really very accessible and expands on just about everything in this video and then some
-
this would had been for me a wonderful and TRUE story to grow and be forged as a person by, instead of the magic man in the sky who judges me because reasons. I am good/moral because I choose to be, Live and let Live, we are are recycled matter :) Great talk! Cheers!
-
What you've written seems right to me sir. I retract the "bollocks" :)
-
I stand corrected belief re atheism (Def: 1.an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists.) I agree that belief is not a weaker version of knowledge but should be a statement related to knowledge . About faith 1. complete trust or confidence in someone or something. 2. strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof. My experience in talking to religious is that they believe absent facts and call it faith.
