    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]

    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's only a miracle if you believe this universe is the first and only one. If you believe in a cyclic universe, then there has been endless iterations before us, perhaps all with slightly different physical properties. Endless iterations that for a multitude of reasons perhaps didn't exist for long or folded because the properties of mass reversed or life didn't evolve in them. We only see it as a miracle because this is the only reality we know of.

    His illustration served to make me feel that there are perspectives and personal realities based on our individual perspectives. They’re not really an illusion as such, just a limited view of reality, a definition of reality from our own perspective. That’s why curiosity is so important for science, to get us to m wonder what’s beyond our own horizon.
    “The illusion of design is an accident”
    This is an atheist fantasy rather than a scientific theory. The danger of taking physics into the realm of philosophy is that we use it to create new religions every day that suit our own fantastic imagination. It tells us something about our inner desires, but sheds very little light on the true nature of reality.
    The fact that matter and the universe as we know could blink put of existence in a moment should cause us to be filled with wonder that our existence is so improbable, potentially ephemeral and apparently accidental; that so much order and beauty has arisen out of apparently nothing doesn’t mean to me that life and the universe are meaningless. It means to me that they’re incredibly miraculous and that our existence is providential. It adds meaning to our existence rather than removing it.

      The universe doesn't need us. It managed perfectly well before we showed up and won't miss us when we're gone.
      Krauss's tongue-in-cheek point is that it's never nice to be taken for granted. Unlike the hydrogen, rocks, oceans, daffodils and cockroaches that the universe produced before us, humans are a species that's prepared to compliment it on its new hairstyle and ask it how it's feeling.

If you don't understand this, how can you possibly think you understand something as complex as ZPE (which cannot be used for propulsion, as momentum requires interaction between real particles).

      The point is that so many of the discoveries made in the field of physics would sound like mythical stories if they were not demonstrably true. Krauss is arguing that while many people consider science to be boring, scientific explanations of the universe are actually more fascinating than the religious explanations that many of us cling to. That's his thesis anyway. The rest of the lecture serves as evidence/examples of interesting scientific discoveries throughout history that prove his thesis.

    1:22:11 I just love it when people like this guy start drawing conclusions out of things they don't remotely understand.
    "The light speed limit is just bollocks, obviously... because If two objects are on a collision course at 3/4C, then their combined speed must be 1.5C, duh..."
    It exemplifies Krauss' icicle analogy/the allegory of the cavern beautifully: thick people have trouble understanding what's not immediately apparent, and they end up denying it.
    This guy can only think in Newtonian terms, so he assumes that anything beyond Newtonian physics must be rubbish...because, obviously, if he can't understand something, then NOBODY can, ^^.
    It must be sad for him, denying all sorts of stuff just because he can't figure them out... and I bet he still thinks he's a genius, ^^
    So we are in a relativistic situation, we have two objects moving at 3/4C towards each other.
    First off, we need to specify a frame of reference, we can choose between being inside one of those objects or being an external observer.
    An external observer will see the two objects moving at 3/4C towards each other, so there's no mystery there, case closed.
    The interesting bit comes when we enter either object's frame of reference. From that perspective, we aren't moving at all (assuming constant speed and direction), it's the rest of the world that's rushing by us at 3/4C.
    Now the guy will say "and since the other object is moving 3/4C relative to the external observer, that means that it's 0.75C + 0.75C = 1.5C, duh" Well, nope. The mistake is applying Newtonian physics, just adding together V1+V2 and be done with it.
    As Krauss explained, every observer has a twisted space-time perspective, dependant on position and relative speed.
    Space contracts/time dilates the faster you go (according to other frames of reference), so it's not as simple as V1+V2 = PV.
    It's actually more like (V1 + V2) / 1 + (V1 x V2) = Perceived Velocity (if the other object is moving towards you).
    In this particular case:
    V1 = 0.75C
    V2 = 0.75C
    So let's apply the equation and see what's the actual perceived velocity from each object's frame of reference.
    (0.75 + 0.75) / 1 + (0.75 x 0.75) = 1.5 / 1.5625 = 0.96C
    There you go, less than 1C.
    There's more than one way of getting this kind of result, but the fundamentals are the same: space and time contract and dilate, the faster you go, so kiss Newtonian assumptions goodbye, they are only approximations that just don't work at relativistic speeds.
    Now you could say that this is just a dishonest equation designed so speeds which should amount to a number greater than 1, end up giving a result smaller than 1. And I would agree with you...except for the fact that equations like this one actually work when put to the test...they actually describe how the physical world behaves, Newtonian equations, on the other hand, fail at relativistic speeds. You can actually use relativistic equations to calculate mundane speeds too, they'll give you even more accurate results than Newtonian equations.
