How humble the great ones are!
I watched it all. Fascinating. I could listen to him talk for even longer.
Yes, this is fantastic I really enjoy Frank's brilliance.
I think he is my favorite overall guest on CTT.
We were thrilled to be able to interview him right after he won the Templeton Prize.

The man is unbelievable! The ideas are just wonderful! I wish I could understand the world on his level. 😁
Read his books. The latest one, "Fundamentals", explains a lot of physics in a brilliant way. I knew a lot of what he discusses there but he gave me new perspectives on many things.
@@iridium1911 really ill take a look
Another fascinating CTT conversation. Mr. Kuhn, you are brilliant, knowledgeable and have just the right temperament. You are the best at this.
This was a really great interview...I was glued to the screen the entire time...I appreciate you having him on your show...kudos. On a side note...you couldn't have picked a more prototypical looking guy for being a "scientist" could you....messed up hair, broken glasses that are taped up and keep falling down his nose, a pocket full of pens...I LOVE IT...this man get's it...he doesn't care what people think about him 'cuz he's too busy doing smart stuff ....again, I love it.
Richard Dawkins hates the Templeton Prize with the heat of a hundred suns. So it's fun
to dissect just one of Dawkins' imbecilic "The God Delusion" statements:
On the first page of chapter 4, Dawkins assails brilliant physicist/atheist Fred Hoyle's claim that "life
beginning on earth of natural origin is as likely as a hurricane assembling a fully functioning Boeing 747
going through a junkyard". NO says Dawkins, Hoyle fails to recognize the power of natural selection.
HOW FN BRAIN DEAD is it possible to be and get paid?! Natural selection NEVER EVER applies to junkyards!!
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics NEVER EVER NOT ONCE allows non-biology to do ANYTHING other than to
"disorder". Natural selection applies to biology, ONLY EVER NOT A SINGLE EXCEPTION!!
Hurricanes destroy....ONLY!
Here's Dawkins sitting mute/deaf/sub-moronic as ACTUAL biologists/chemists ALL, say "it is IMPOSSIBLE
humans will EVER know the origin of life". Two Nobel laureates and Craig Venter mapped the human genome.
"Life of natural origin" is THE sine qua non of "New Atheism", of which Dawkins is Lord High Executioner;
AND YET HE CAN'T EVEN SPEAK WHEN IT'S PRIMA FACIE REPUDIATED TO HIS FACE?!?!?!

When smart people speak... I listen 💯
Such high quality intellect, yet so unassuming. His book " Fundamentals Ten keys to reality" is ,like this interview, beyond fascinating.
A wonderful discussion!
Very interesting conversation.
What I like best about Robert Lawrence Kuhn is his ability to ask pertinent questions without inserting his own ego.
If you can bring other great physicists and scientists in this format, with well-segregated sections on each personality's key achievements - as you did with Frank Wilczek. That would be fantastic for us who follow your podcast regularly
I wonder what you think he has been doing?
I admire Robert’s ability to stay abreast of so many topic areas that he has relevant questions for leading edge peeps.
Yes of course he is doing it all his life - chat format with well-defined sections is what I was taking. Apologies if that didn't get conveyed
We're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great.

A conversation filled to the brim with ideas
But, physicists still don't understand why there are constants. Heavenly knowledge 😇
What do you mean, 'STILL don't understand'? It's a very difficult problem to work out.
What is hardest to understand is why certain humans immediately invoke "heavenly" solutions WHEN they don't understand something.
@@erlybird3122 it's you that doesn't understand, have you thought that possible?
For me it raises the question: what standard we use to measure what. Human knowledge is finite and limited which means no real reflection from the side of scientists that how and what they are dealing with but they are creating law like expression how the world works, instead of realizing that they knowledge is only a fragment of the whole picture and should be warn sign how they use their fragmented knowledge to apply to our life.
This gentle soft spoken form of life is irrefutably the universe's finest attempt to understand itself to date. What a privilege to listen him.
Fascinating
I love that Frank has his glasses taped up. On Lex he had six pens in his pocket. Pure nerd superman!
Do you find it odd how Lex can get interviewees on this level, but also spends valuable time on people like Rogan and J Peterson?
I’m asking because I noticed this discrepancy, but havent communicated with others who watch both programs and wondered if it was a shared observation
@@ili626 agreed
WOW!
When you translate the languages, in to English, sometimes, the meaning of your words changed , and your words and the meaning also changes as results!
'I think what you could do, what you must do, is go to what science is to what could be if we want to think about what science is going to mean for our future" Frank Wilczek
This is so profound. Much more fascinating than supernatural opinions.
okay if you like
A big question that haunts me & I don’t have an answer to is this, if Robert can find answers to - What happens when you know all the secrets of the world? What would life look like? Would it not be better to stay naive than loose the magic of curiosity?
email him
Re: "Does that mean that 'should' is a subset of 'could'?" - just recently I was watching a video where Tony Blake had asked JG Bennett "What is the original sin?" and Bennett answered: "Not doing what you can do, and trying to do what you cannot do." - it seems to fit nicely with the should and could statement!
You can't tell me that the tape on his glasses and pen/pencil pocket protector are not there intentionally. No way.
I was wandering about the tape too. Reminds me of my first broken glasses when I was young and had no time and money to buy new ones 👀😂
A clock ⏰ has been created by us , and the time’s created by itself, and nobody knows, the size of it, and how to do it !
The taped glasses, the pocket protector, that's got to be his sense of humor.
I was chucking about the comment "To me God is a work in progress". I was thinking to myself afterwards that it's ok. God feels the same way about you as well. Ha ha. A little Christian humor. Not bashing at all. It was thought of in love not out of spite or animosity.
Great conversation.
Hello Profrssor Wilczek, once again the problems that keep alluding us has cropped up once more in your video. With respect, may I make some suggestions which may give cause for constructive cosideration.
' Dark Matter ', an incredibly small Negatively charged monopole particle, called a ' Harveytron ', that fills every available empty space in the atom and every available empty space throughout the universe, forming a cloud. The presence of this ' Harvetron cloud ', is what provides a medium in which all electromagnetic radiation and gravittional waves can propogate and travel through space.
The force exerted by these particle trying to repel each other in every direction is the ' Dark energy '.
' Dark Energy ', is the force that is causing the universe to expand. It is also one of the forces of gravity, which I believe is a force of both attraction and repulsion in an interplay between positive and negative particles.
I believe that there exists only two fundamental particles that make up everything that exists in the universe, The negatively charged monopole ' Harveytron ' particle, and a corresponding positively charged monopole called a ' Dannytron '.
In combination, these two particles make up all of the atomic nuclei, everything else are soley the negatively charged particles.
These particles may turn out to be impossible to detect at the present time, because they are so small. They are are so small that I believe that all of the particles making up the nucleus of the atom are composites of these particles. I am happy to explain more if you are interested. Kind regars Tony Marsh.
Thanks
A few hundred years ago, who would have believed that, by mixing stones, metals and vegetation, we would create a robot that could compute, walk and talk?

If time does not really exist, no need to worry about reversing the laws of physics.
Does the Nash Equilibrium only exist because our orbit provides a 50%light and a 50%darkness state? Please advise
The rightful course for future science is staying closer to truth.
and what do you understand that Robert means by truth
@@chrisbennett6260 there are 2 types of truth:
1. Personal truth. Subjective. Each of us have a personal truth.
2. Universal Truth. Nobody knows. It is beyond human comprehension.
What Robert seeks is universal Truth but he is pragmatic enough to know it is impossible
So he aimed to get pass personal truth and get "closer" to universal Truth.
We find truth from facts. But facts alone are not enough.
I love the green screen of a green screen.
Frank has interesting ideas, this reminds me of a tentioned spring coming back to is origanal position when realesed because it has a memory.Our mids run clockwise so its not that intuitive to think that a partical can run anti clockwise. But quantum mechanics is not that intuitive.Does God play dice or is the universe deterministic?
I don’t dispute the expansion of the universe but if space has no gravity and it’s gravity that groups together all the mass out there , planets , galaxies, suns , black holes all the objects out there then as the universe expands and the distances between galaxies and stuff become larger and gravity plays less and less a part than of course the expansion would speed up but it didn’t just start from nothing.
How to take a person seriously who says “this is an unusual property” about an observation of the Universe…?
Let’s talk about 50/50 chances. The released object is approaching the earth or is the earth approaching the released object. Time immemorial the first has passed for knowledge: gravity. Yet the latter is correct. Galilean relative motion has the earth approaching- expanding at 16 feet per second per second constant acceleration (d=1/2at^2 part of the gravity equation)- the released object. The 4 ‘ fundamental forces’ along with epicycles put on the shelf 20 years ago. “The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy “, Mark McCutcheon.
Everything in the universe appear as energy and forces or beauty, all of which do not exist except for our sensual feelings of heat, touch and visual color respectively. In reality all that exist is mysterious emergent fields at all levels.
how so
Love how he has a green screen but the chair blocks the entire view
Frank's in Stockholm, explains the European windows.
Speed 1.75x .
when you guys can create a robert that can take a dump ,go for a slash ,,have pie and mash with jellied eels and know the difference through experience from fish and chips ,then have it dream about it and know it is dreaming specifically about it then that will be closer to truth
Dark matter is fundamental matters, and is also dead matter, but we should be aware of dark energies, because they still alive!
Two dimensional materials? Somebody care to explain that one?
A möbius strip.
Is Awareness at the Source, is “God” the name for AWARENESS itself, only thing Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent? 3 Personalities of Awareness are (Presence, Awareness, & Memory) . If Awareness is Omnipresent, you are looking through it right NOW, if it is Omniscient, All knowledge is accessed through it, if Awareness is omnipotent, IT alone determines your next step ..........
do you think the physicist .cosmologists,biologists, computer scientists that are physicalists blatant hard nose atheists and militant materalists accept any of that ?
Most important Truisms of the night:

The quark’s has no memory, but how they can find each other’s!

Consciousness does not require memory.
@@misterhill5598 and by consciousness what do you mean ?
@@chrisbennett6260 a fundamental part of life.
If there are building blocks of life, consciousness would be one of them.
When I read the words of Jesus while defining God as causality and Heaven as Utopia, I concluded that the Son of Causality was a determinist and Utopian.
each of us are part’s of universes, and all of us, including, all the universes, together will be a God , another words can we find anything more powerful than the combination’s above ! even any religion, saying that, we’re all pieces of God’s, !!!!
my man set up his green screen for nothing
This life is a prison hell the proof is literally everywhere
Diogenes may agree with you.

Just stop ignoring evidence.
We all crystals iam the red crystal and someone the green ranger blue ranger yellow ranger and broke clock A better tomorrow climate changes on the way we are going save the planet lol
the introduction is so funny (real apes)
the dervish who wears the cloak of science ! it is the planet of the apes no doubt.
for harnessing the power of sciences to explore the deepest questions of the universe ! the apes are good at big words !
this irrational dervish did all that ! funny sick apes !
they make lies then believe them ! I am about to believe the apes' hallucinations.
real apes !
so funny apes !
the only thing the thief apes can do is (theft)
this is a very simple man wearing the cloak of science, it is a heavy burden on the clown !
I LOVE Frank Wilczek!
Me too. I feel warm and safe and challenged by his gentle brilliance.
The "straight jacket" is the Big Bang, Lambda-CDM model.
Congrats to your guest. Great video. If human scientific endeavors have existed for a billionth of one percent in relation to the age of our universe, I would caution against thinking we've unraveled everything worth knowing.
K you do that.
