"Lawrence Krauss - Life, the Universe, and Nothing: A Cosmic Mystery Story "
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Webcast sponsored by Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and hosted by the Vancouver Institute. Lawrence Krauss' work has been primarily in theoretical (as opposed to experimental) physics, and he has published research on a great variety of topics within that field. Krauss is a renowned cosmologist and popularizer of modern science and director of the Origins Project at Arizona State University. Hailed by Scientific American as a rare public intellectual, he is the author of more than three hundred scientific publications and 8 books, including the bestselling The Physics of Star Trek, and the recipient of numerous international awards for his research and writing. He is an internationally known theoretical physicist with wide research interests, including the interface between elementary particle physics and cosmology, where his studies include the early universe, the nature of dark matter, general relativity and neutrino astrophysics. His soon to be published book, A Universe From Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing is already garnering strong reviews. Exploring the scientific advances that provide insight into how the universe formed, Krauss ultimately tackles the age-old assumption that something cannot arise from nothing by arguing that not only can something arise from nothing, but something will always arise from nothing.

Lawrence Krauss is limited in what he describes as Non-existence. He believes in paradoxes, so he lives in cartoon land, let alone understand what the Bible means to begin with.

I still believe in Thor

I have listened to about 20 lectures by LK, and thoroughly dislike him and have come to the conclusion that the man is sick from drinking his own bath water and has made 0 discoveries. I am officially done with his bullshit that baffles, despite his brilliance .

The Bible is a chain and ball if you take it literally.. The Bible can also be the instruction booklet that comes along with that new machine you refuse to read because your pride depends on your Ego raining always who needs no insight.

I am in the multiverse where there are no other universes.

People have trouble with the term 'nothing'. It's not surprising I suppose. We can't actually point to a concrete example of such a concept - it's completely abstract. What Lawrence is referring to is actually 'space'. There is no known place in the universe where there is 'nothing'. Even voids like the Boötes void which is a huge volume of space with little matter, still has plenty of stuff in it, like radiation and light passing through, gravity waves and around one atom of hydrogen per cubic metre. Good lecture by Lawrence.

17:17 An incredibly beautiful realization, AND REAL, in the shit bible you are told you are born in sin and in need of a blood sacrifice, god himself must die for you, but it's ok he doesn't die but he gives his blood for you and has a very bad weekend. This to pay for some stolen fruit something someone did generations ago you weren't there but no matter you're in trouble for it and someone must die.. Back to 17:17, back to reality, science tells us we are made of stars, literally stars. I think I prefer the truth science has revealed. FUCK religion

This is what's wrong with professors in our universities. They are so adamant about keeping religion out of government yet they use their own platform to deride religion and advance their amoral and atheist agenda. One has nothing to do with the other. There is no reason for this jackass to promote atheism as a factor in whether you're a good scientist and that is what he is doing. It doesn't need to be part of the narrative. You do not have to be atheist to be a good scientist.This is proof of the kind of indoctrination our kids get at college. This type of "if you want to pass or be cool you have to abandon religious belief" bs. That type of behavior is rampant in colleges and is what is ruining this country.

A science lecture that starts out attacking other beliefs is pure crap. Not listening. If he's got something to say say it otherwise take your slanted biased crap and stick it. Closed minds can work on both sides of the fence. Krauss is a crackpot and a moron. Skip this lecture and move on to someone that wants to explain their theories instead of using other peoples time to attack others/ Screw this guy. I don't think what this guy is saying is funny or cute like he thinks it does. What a creep. Any jackass that stands in front of a crowd and attacks beliefs and the crowd laughs is not the crowd for me. Screw all these jerks. The Barber Learning Center sure has a lot of idiots. Canadians....what do you expect. Feckless atheist pukes. Does anyone really think this little greaseball has the answers? Not a chance.

great video...Lawrence...I think it may be universally conducive for us to exchange some idea or theories...I have a theory of triangual sequencing which I have been really intrigued with that I cannot get out of my head...lol ....ever feel that way...lololol ...and a possibility of an idea on the question of quanti....and why....I think you will agree ...I am very enthralled in all you say and your thoughts...thank you for all you think and teach...I am a student or yours and study all you say ...thanks

all from logic

I ALWAYS chuckle between minute 50 and 51. Is it just me?

Some crazies on this thread --is it a full moon again?

GREAT VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like dark matter is the spirit world. Heaven and Hell and all the angels are probably just this invisible dark matter you speak of. All those miracles they do and all that traveling about the universe that they do is powered by that dark energy. The Catholic church made one mistake by believing a Ptolomy (a non-christian) and every single scientist will never let anyone forget it. Didn't he say that matter pops into existance. maybe new matter will appear out of nothing to fill up the empty space that appears as a result of galaxies traveling away at faster than the speed of light.

Doesn anyone know the name of the supernova pictured at 17:00? i want to find that image but seeing as there are thousands of images from hubble, knowing it's name may help?
