A message from Lawrence:
On June 4th, The Origins Project Foundation and AUK co-sponsored an event entitled Changing Minds in Changing Times. Locally co-ordinated and hosted by John Richards, the event included numerous lectures, by me, Sophie Scott, Blay Whitby, and Keith Porteous Wood as well as an award ceremony for Richard Dawkins followed by a dialogue between the two of us, and an auction for a painting of Christopher Hitchens. AUK is releasing videos of various parts of the event over the course of the next month, and The Origins Project Foundation will release videos of my lecture, and my dialogue with Richard our UA-cam channel as well. Critical Mass paid subscribers will have access to both of these videos in advance, ad-free.
Attached here is a link to the video of the first live in person lecture I gave on my new book, The Known Unknowns. It was brief, given the constraints of time at the meeting, so it only covered a few topics, but it was fun to be able to discuss them in front of a live audience. I hope you enjoy it.

Time is an illusion. Lunch time, doubly so.
Thank you, D.A.
I am forever happy that I saw the American movie of Hitchiker's Guide before I read the books. When I read that book now I basically hear Mos Def's voice as Prefect Ford instead of a british dude. And I hear Martin Freeman's voice as Arthur.
Such a great event of fortuitous randomness considering how much I love classic hiphop.
Doctor Awesome?
@@folee_edge That is a quote from Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, written by Douglas Adams. Lawrence Krauss is definitely awesome tho.
Drink up. The world's about to end.
This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays!
I'm one of the few people that had the privilege of attending this magical wonderful event! All the lecturers were absolutely brilliant and to my pleasant surprise extremely humble. Dear Lawrence, I will forever be grateful to you for signing your book to my 10 year old son Sergei!
We are doing another one at the end of September in the Midlands Arts Centre. Tickets available soon!
Where was this held, if you don’t mind me asking? Thanks 🙏
@@LeonSKennedy7777 The Tabernacle, Notting Hill, London - great venue.
@@FreeThoughtProductions Thank you!
Why is he wearing a hat?
One of my favourite intellectuals🇿🇦Thank you for enlightening us !
Was he one of your favourite intellectuals when he defended Jeffery Epstein after he pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor?
is Krauss bald ?? known unkown
@@Sportliveonline I think he wants to look like Oppenheimer lol.
You haven't listened to enough intellectuals. Madiba would have hated him. He's a fascist and we don't do fascist.
Much love and appreciation from Ireland 🇮🇪💚🌈

The legend lives whilst I breathe.
Ireland unfree shall never be at peace 😭
@@noamfinnegan8663You don’t do intelligence either.
Your work in spreading knowledge, reason, and wonder make you a true hero of the people. Thank you.
I very much still feel the loss of Carl Sagan, especially since his Heir Apparent's recent unfortunate foray into inebriated adventures in "biology is a spectrum" - I prefer his inebriated adventures in astrophysics in movies - but your presence back in the lecture circuit keeps me going. Long live you and Dr. Dawkins! ❤
Every time I listen to Lawrence I come away knowing something new. That is the essence of great teaching.
Hi Lawrence. I'm listening to your podcast on Spotify, but I thought I would come over here so I can just say thank you. Thank you so much. The fact that I, a 42 year old roofer in New Zealand can listen to yourself, and all the amazing people you have on your podcast, and hear all these amazing conversations... Words fail me. I'm so grateful. Thank you.
many thanks! Words like your help motivate us continuing! Enjoy
@@TheOriginsPodcast Krauss, the con man. Writes a book, A Universe From Nothing that is not nothing, but something, and that something has space, matter, and time ALREADY there but to his deceiving ways, that's somehow a scientific nothing. He's so full it, he said..."The universe is huge and old and rare things happen all the time, including life." Wow, NO evidence again. How people take this con man seriously is beyond me.
If it wasn't for roofers, we might not even have science. All the papers would get wet. So thank you!
@@reversefulfillment9189 Krauss' papers can get wet; they don't have science. It would save a lot of paper too, like his book A Universe From Nothing, that wasn't nothing, it was something there already he likes to call nothing so he sounds smart and scientific.
@@2fast2block
The nothing in krauss book was a sarcastic piss take on the bibles god made everything from nothing.
A response to the big bang name originally being a piss take of science from theist.
Just reclaimed!
But you know this as multiple people have explained it and I have dozens of times to you over the years.
Yet here you are still trolling lies.
Lies to protect your myths and fables my fellow ape.
The internet is amazing if used correctly at its best, I often listen to some of the smartest, experts like Lawrence talk about cutting edge subjects 9n their fields and it's a total privilege to be able to do that. It wasn't too long ago that to here these people speak it would take you getting into a top university or travelling a long way to hear such minds, I'm truly thankful To hear experts give public lectures and talk candidly about their subject, it's just great.
Every lecture by Lawrence Krauss is an absolute gift. I listen to the same lectures many times in a vain effort to better glimpse the range and dimensions of his understanding. I'd love to one day be able to come see him in person, perhaps even shake his hand in gratitude for shining light into areas of my earthly experience which would otherwise have remained unknown. Lets hope he tours Europe soon.
Great Exponent and Brilliant discourse about the Unknowns and Knowns of the Universe by Mr Lawrence...Really Enlightening...
I'm incredibly grateful to both of my parents for modelling to me that it's not at all a big deal to not know something, and actually a far bigger deal to pretend to know something when you don't, especially the things no one has the answer to.
Congratulations on your new book
He's a great comedian.
Just bought this book after seeing this wonderful talk by Prof. Lawrence Krauss. Thank you very much! :-)
thank you
So many things everywhere!
Thanks!
You're awesome!
Beautiful! I'm always in awe by your lectures.
Thank you --LMK
I am soooo glad that you are back giving wonderful lectures to the world!!!
So it's wonderful to you that this con man calls something nothing, and that nothing created the universe. Amazing.
@@2fast2block Omph. Did he make you sad cause magic isn't real lol
@@darkprototype5353 no, he made me happy showing he has no idea what he's talking about. Still, it's not like it was hard to do.
Excellent lecture. Very easy to follow, but also covers so many important subjects.
Great Lecture, the world needs more!
is there a God Known unknown
@@Sportliveonlinenot one proven
Wow! As someone who wants to become a Quantum Physicsist, this lecture was truly amazing! I can't wait to read the book! Thank you, Professor Krauss! What a lecture it was!
Yeah, become like he did, this way you can make up anything you want too. You can call something nothing and then just say but it's a scientific nothing. Yep, no thinking involved, just deceive all you want.
@@2fast2blockwhat?
@@Lassana_sari I don't give reading lessons in the comment section.
@@2fast2blockYou don't provide anything in the comments section. Completely vacuous - but luckily for you, Dr. Krauss has helped to prove that a vacuum isn't *completely* empty.
@@folee_edge well, if you were honest, which your low standard of life shows you're not, just what I gave on Krauss is correct. Happy lying.
I have missed you Lawrence. Thank you thank you thank you.
Brilliant as usual 💞
I have actually been thinking "But aren't we just a product of the Universe? We are fine tuned to it not the other way around right?" for many years. Thank you for the eloquent explanation!
Life is Not inherent in mechanistic ⚛️ atoms and lifeless molecules. Nor will Life emerge from random chance.
Therefore, we humans are not a mere "product of the universe ".
There is hierarchy wherever you look. What is the result, when you combine hierarchy with infinity? That is the logical idea about the god phenomenan.
This would touch on the idea of Logos.
The ground that supports our scienctific assumptions.
Einstein looked up to Godel who has his famous incompleteness thereoms. Which point to something like that.
You're senseless like Krauss. He never explained a universe from nothing, he just changed the definition of nothing to suit him. Then from there it got worse for him. Oh, let's not forget his..."The universe is huge and old and rare things happen all the time, including life." No, life only comes from life, no matter how people like Krauss say otherwise with NO evidence.
No. Unless the universe had exactly the right values we wouldn’t be here to speculate about it.
Legend in the making! Thank you Lawrence for sharing your insights and knowledge. Your a great public communicator of science and i hope you have inspired the younger theoretical physicists and scientists from all areas to follow in your foot steps. We dont get much time, let nothing we do be in vain.
They don't build 'em like Lawrence Krauss no more, we need to clone him ;)) beautiful evenrt speech sir, keep it up, looking forward for your future ventures.
🥳 Ooohh, new lecture from Prof. Krauss?! his spherical cow spiel is amongst my faaavorites.
The order of causality never changes. If event A is causally linked to event B, then B will always follow A, regardless.
What a great talk! Loved it.
One of my favourite demonstrations to explain how a constant speed of light can cause two observers to see things in a different order, that is really easy to understand is this:
You get two people to stand an equal distance from you, but have them stood so they are 90 degrees apart if you are at the centre of a circle. You represent the centre of the galaxy, you hold two balls representing stars. You then hold your arms out pointing at each person, then drop the two balls at the same time representing them going Supernova.
You then ask them, from their perspective which ball would have gone supernova first. Obviously, it would be the one you were holding out towards them. Despite both going supernova at the same time, over such great distances, the speed of light makes time very subjective.
Have them stood?
Love this project.
I began my physics studies at UCLA in 1964 with "texts' being Feynman's Lectures in Physics delivered when he was at CalTech. Within 3 yrs, I was simulating the ammonia molecule's Schrodinger's Equations, Fortran programming it's computations. I was working on terminals next to early speech synthesizing and biomechanial models. Upstairs they were testing the first nuclear magnetic resonators used in today's MRI. Most of what's changed since then is that Americans get MBA and medical degrees, not in the physical sciences or even economics anymore. We live off our past achievements and foreign students in our grad programs.
😢 So true
One of my most favourite Professors in the World.
Professor Krauss
Rumsfeld was summarizing a theory known as 'The Johari Window,. It is a framework for understanding conscious and unconscious bias that can help increase self-awareness and understanding of others. It was created by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in 1955. The model is named by combining their first names.
It consists of four ' window panes'
1. Things we all know
2. Things we know and no one else knows
3. Things we know we don't know
4. Things no one knows.
Excellent summary. Thanks for the information!
This man is a treasure.
the latest PBS Nova episodes with heather berlin also covered some of this.(S50, E9 and 10) Definitely worth a watch
Thank you for the tip!
Lawrence Krauss is such a pleasure to listen to. I love his "I don't know" attitude, just like feynman had.
Only zealots think they know all. Good scientists are very well aware they don't know a lot.
Brilliant man!
You don't need to follow anybody.
You are all different.
(Yes, we are all different)
Dr. Krauss, you are an amazing thinker and an inspiration to the world. The wonder of science is that everything has not been answered yet. As Newton put it, he was just collecting some pebbles on the shore when an entire ocean of knowledge had yet to be explored.

I received my first wireless remote clicker for my PowerPoint presentations as far back as 2002. Might I suggest providing one for your guest speakers? This would save them the trouble of repeatedly asking to advance to the next slide. After all, with the advances in AGI these days, such accommodations should be relatively easy to implement.
'There are known knowns, unknown knowns and unknown unknowns.
Who was I giving orders to on 9/11?'
Don Rumsfeld
You're brilliant as you ever were Sir Krauss!
However, Krauss is not "brilliant" enough to know the source and origin of Life and Consciousness.
Quite dishonest and unintelligent imo. The majority of science in the US serves military purposes and is antipathetic to the often repeated myth that there is a scientific community centred on notions of questioning, openness, transparency, and sharing. The constructed histories of science are criminally false, and the biological sciences are founded on falsehoods. Krauss's theory that reality came from nothing is laughably ridiculous.
@@steveflorida8699 Agreed. Nor his he knighted, therefore Sir is an incorrect salutation!
@@steveflorida8699 SMH
@@steveflorida8699 But he does and told you. You either weren't listening, or you disagree.
OK LK, I am working on it.

This is the right thing to do study this holy book they say i myself had a crushed faith when i study it
Very interesting , and we'll delivered.........certainly a lot to think about and question, ... Which I guess is the whole idea. Keep asking the question to gain a greater knowledge.
Just a thought...wonder if any other species ask questions?
You are by far the person I quote the most , so much information that is so enlightening and still manage to continue delivering new and exciting perspectives and theories. ( I also quote Harris, Dawkins, Dennet , ok sometimes Tyson) . Can't wait to read the new book! Please keep doing this, you have a lot of people who still need to be enlightened. Thanks for all you do!
many thanks!
@@TheOriginsPodcast Krauss, the con man. Starting with space, matter, and time already there and calling it nothing. And why not, your dishonesty is all ok with you, "The universe is huge and old and rare things happen all the time, including life." Forget that life only comes from life, you can make up anything you want, you're Lawrence Krauss the con man.
What new theory has he come up with?
@@bryn3652 That A Universe From Nothing is possible. He just lacks the evidence but as I showed, nothing stops Krauss from his nonsense.
I was on a Swiss train and there was an announcement, in multiple languages, apologizing for running _two minutes_ late.
In most countries you wouldn't even notice.
This was good
“Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.”
Then where did this stain on my shirt come from? Is that an illusion too? because it kinds tastes like mustard........
This towel tastes like barbecue sauce!
Good program
Yes Lawrence Krauss! We should learn by formulating good questions not by learning prefabricated answers.
By the way I didn't understand why time is not universal ?!...however I am convinced that the main caracteristique of the concept of time is irreversible since I have lost my parents forever and never again, because they have been died
Time will always be relative because it relies on distance and gravity a universal fact
Thorouhly interesting point about protozoa and neurons. It certainly got me thinking.
Bertrand Russell was quite a thinker, and the right kind of atheist.
Wonder-full
Lawrence looks like one of the Spy v. Spy characters from MAD Magazine in the thumbnail for this vid.
Bahahahaha
Haha I had this thought too.
"Time is an illusion, at lunchtime doubly so"
One of the most inspiring talks ive heard. thank you.
Gret lecture as usual from L Krauss. Challenging topic!! Pity we couldn't see the images properly due to poor camera work and stray light on the screen as Prof Krauss complained at the start.
My thinking is that if you can travel through time. We would be stuck only being able to go forward as with the arrow of time. This could be nature's way of preventing paradox.
Great talk. We know very little and our intuition leads us in disparate directions. Luckily there are such people who enjoy banging their minds against the unknown. Thanks, Professor Kraus.
An ideological bases is also intuitive. This includes a scientific intuition used in physics. There the is idea that there might be something beyond writing and words is philosophically valid.
So, Larry, is that where you wrote your monthly Scientific American article? I had a subhscription in 1975 and into 2015, and Sagaa's The Planetary7u Society as well. Something after was weekly Science mag from AAAS too.
if intelligent life is eternally recurrent, then it means that its most likely related to understanding and answering certain question in kosmos building.
The known unknowns quote is actually from the Greek philosopher Aristotle. It can be found in the book Nicomachean Ethics.
Well, well ... before hearing the phrase 'the known unknowns' from anyone else for the first time today, I have said it myself countless times in my conversations with friends!
He was quoting Donald Rumsfeld.

There's always been a level of pomposity occupying Krauss's remarks, and he never misses the chance to inject his political opinions into his talks. It' makes listening to him tough.
if you have listened to more than 1 of his lectures, you would understand. most people who attend lectures, whatever they may be about, are typically like-minded, so there isn't an issue. this isn't a debate. I would much rather listen to someone who doesn't just speak factually and attempts to throw in some humor. everybody has a different sense of humor. it landed for me, but clearly missed for you. and guess what, that's ok. don't be offended, your feelings don't matter when it comes to humor. look up ricky gervais...
You're correct. The universe, as far as we understand it, doesn't have a purpose or intention to make humans happy. It's a vast and complex system governed by natural laws and processes.
That's an awesome first slide. Love being mesmerized by traveling along fields as well as magnets, not to mention always being fascinated with UFO'S...not to mention the force, since I chose to walk the path of a Djedi when I was young, at the age of a child, told others I know it's true, nobody believed me, n perhaps that's why they weren't able to tap into their abilities like I was. Perhaps tapping into what was really going on, reason that I had that an extra sensory ability, such as the tingle from Spiderman...and used it to help others and do my best not to take advantage of it in a harmful way
If i turn a laser pointer on, the beam of light is practically instant. What is at the head of the beam of light? Does the beam of light push particles ahead of it so not only is the beam going at the speed of light but also the particles that are in front of it? Podcasts like this really get me thinking about odd things 😂
*Consciousness* is a singular grammatically. The seeming unity of our consciousness may be us deceiving ourselves and the split brain is some evidence that we have at least two.
Nothing can come from something 👍
Time is an illusion, lunch time more than we can ever no.
7:50 what's even weirder is what happens when you are the observer on the ground, cos you aren't constantly perpendicular to the train, it's moving past you and you have light doing doppler effects.
is there a God known Unknown
Larry turning into George Burns in "Oh God".
Time may be an illusion, but it always starts and stops in Greenwich England.

Consciousness: is the ability to conduct evolutionary (computation) experimentation and learning on oneself. By this definition it can be traced back over the evolutionary tape to its biological origin. (debate on this would take you into the evolutionary computations of human and animal brain).
Look at his spiv posture

12:40 secs perhaps dyson spheres of a sort for the smallest Chandrasekhar types, 3.4 solar masses becomes a diameter of around 3 miles?
31:07 secs. Consciousness can be beyond space as well, and energy. if one takes space, energy, and consciousness to be the fundamental three.
Uncle Krauss:)
Taking time as an illusion, how can we describe the periodicity of universe?
Interesting
+infinity style points for the orange sneakers lol
Loved it! ❤ But here's a further suggestion. Perhaps you can do a shorter version of it in a studio environment by speaking more quietly and clicking to the slides as and when you needed them. Best wishes from a fan❤
There is the time I was watching that and the time you were doing the presentation about the time the story you were telling happened and all at once. Anyone who’d wanna tell me that is not holy smokes would be absolutely cluelessly incorrect
The way to get these accurate definitions, for getting to the most accurate way of modelling everything, including life, consciousness, etc, is by first understanding how the Grand Unified Theory-Classical Physics was derived, by first being initiated by Hermann Haus and his student in Haus ' post grad courses in electronic engineering at MIT in 1986, Randell Mills. Yes that same Mills, whose company, Brilliant Light and Power is being maligned on Wikipedia. Someone is scared all to hell about what Mills has achieved.
*Consciousness is an illusion?* Who is experiencing the illusion? Perceiving an illusion requires consciousness.
philosophy books needed. Suggest you read some.
@@colinjames2469 Suggest you provide actual arguments
Lawrence's talks are always pleasant the listen to. It struck me as strange He rightly
laughs at the religious myths but then go's on to believe the Swiss train myth both do not stand up to close scrutiny.
Madness
16:42 ... 8 months to Mars and some time there and 6-8 months back wow now that's close to time travel right, on return to earth I'm arriving literally in to the future. And possibly aging less than staying on earth thats if the solar radiation doesn't get me. Great lecture thanks
"Consciousness is the singular of which the plural is unknown" - great quote by Schrodinger, but - I would put forth the idea that perhaps we DO now the plural of consciousness (or we could), and that the plural of consciousness is... GOD.
There, I said it.
Perhaps they go into the black hole, fill up and then BANG AGAIN!!!
30:25 secs, but what then of intelligent deisgn in the Kosmos. There was an origination to the kosmos itself, and the multiverse. It means that indeed there was intelligent design to the structure of kosmoses, since eventually intelligent life will recognize this aspect of freely given existence... which is recurrent.. possibly.
Most of if the universe may be inhospitable because we were not created to live in most of the universe. There may be other life forms in different parts of the universe. I believe everything is conscious
How do we know what the opposers of writing said, if they didn't put it in writing?
@8:21
Kraus says that for distant observers, distant events can happen in different orders.
Hence, is there any example where the cause and effect universal phenomenon can be broken?
Now that would be interesting... 🤔
