reality, physics... never mind them, because the things can be infinitely big and small, but our ability to see them are always limited. These guys (scientists) are only making a living telling stories but are never getting to the bottom of it. The bright side is that these guys are creating more and more funs for us, but always within the boundary of a sandbox.
Wow! very human, warm, fuzzy, and mind expanding, great comfortable synergy on a quantum level. thank you Brian, and Frank...Sounds like everything is really connected, strings, rubber bands, paperclips, conservation of energy and mass....blessing to love and truth, the continuum....some great chat questions, enjoyed. tyvm
HOW LUCKY AND WONDERFUL IT MUST BE TO BE CONSCIENCE AND AWARE AT A YOUNG AGE OF THE POSSIBILITIES AND CHOICES AVAILABLE TO ONES SELF WHETHER IT BE SCIENCE OR ART OR SOME OTHER CORSE OF STUDY.
My daughter’s undergrad degree is in physics. She had a life sized cardboard ‘paper doll’ of Einstein. She walked him around campus, including taking him to physics classes. Maybe he helped her - she completed all the undergrad physics courses by the end of her sophomore year, and started grad level physics her junior year. She said the best thing about physics was that she never had to leave kindergarten. It was playtime, with advanced math.
Just brilliant. Thank you Profs. Greene and Wilczek. Perhaps our reality emerges out of an existing multiverse and not the other way around. Who knows. : )

There is another practical vs. speculative explanation of strong force and it comes from propulsion system based on time dilation described by one hands-on scientist. Details are in 4-min story on Medium "Simple quantum explanation of gravity without mass or math".
Great programing. Thank you for taking the time to explain different concepts. I so appreciate it. My mind doesn't function at the speed of light like yours and so many of your guests. Looking foward to your next projects. RMM
Your minds function at the same speed :) It's only that he's spent most of his life studying cosmology & physics, so he knows those fields well. I'm sure there are subjects you know far better than Brian
My trustworthy ISP failed me right on 15th Jan :( I was looking forward to trying to attending the session. For what it's worth, I would think Dr. Wilczek is to get second of those Nobel things for anyon. So, pardon my presumptuousness, Congratulations in advance Dr. Wilczek :)
You sure do talk to each other lots, it would have been more interesting if you shared some more details, or explained just a little more. Lots of chuckling, plenty of promises -- sorry no sale. You are both presenting as happy and wise - I wanted to hear more details .

I would love to see WSF team bring on kip throne in upcoming conversations with noble laureates. By the way, The WSF is dong a great job by brining on such an amazing content.
Excellent content! Just make sure to laugh with him and bask in his humor when he jokes rather than ignoring the joke and rushing to the next topic. That would make it feel more organic convo rather than an interview, I know you have a lot of topics you want to get thru, just a viewer perspective
The human mind of astronaut-scientist Jack Schmitt suddenly spotted the orange soil on the moon and it was the human that took over from the computer because astronaut-pilot Armstrong understood the rocky landing site was not sound. I'd agree with the cyborg hypothesis. As usual a unique brilliant presentation. Thank you Prof Greene
Even the highly intelligent cant accept that free will is just a human concept like religion, that strokes the ego of the accomplished, justifies the pain of the losers of society and motivates us all to be our best version of our selves and at the same time gives us a certain feeling of being in control. But the simple reality is, that if you believe in logic and empirical evidence there is no real free will in what we believe to be our reality as of now. There is just our genetic code and our experiences through life that determain our choices. Like philosophers have said hundreds of years ago. If an entity could know everything there is to know right now and were not limited in any capacity, that entity could predict everything that would happen and every choice everyone would make untill eternity. The decision people make is a simple formula of their genetics and their experiences and in theory could be predicted perfectly. Only because life and the personal experience of life is highly unpredictable, makes that predicting once choices and future is complex. Even watching a youtube video, reading a comment, the food you eat, every encounter no matter how insignificant changes a person permenantly. The thing that most people call free will or a choice, is just a reaction to an impulse manipulated by genes that have been manipulated by other impulses and actions and the environment through time. When you look at choice as a reaction, which I dont see any other way logically how one could look at it. Every choice is just a reaction manipulated by prior actions and reactions and I dont think the implication that people have with the idea of choice actually coincides with being on a track determained by genetics and experiences out of our own control. I think choice implies actually being able to do different things on our own volition than what one does and there is just no logical argument to be made that is based on emipirical evidence as of now that could prove free will or choice as it is seen now actually exists.
Well, the behavior of quarks creating a quark anti-quark pair does remind of the behavior of the magnetic force when a magnet is cut in half: both pieces of the magnet will still have a north and south pole.
"cast a wide net, don't try to understand everything before you understand anything, pay attention to the foundation, learn calculus soon as possible, be curious and have fun" 1:52:41. advice for the ages, ta Frank.
So this quark/strong force dilemma reminds me of how the physical act of stretching an electric arc raises it's voltage potential/energy level. The idea that some have as an explanation for this effect in electric arcs in gases is that of "electron avalanche"- ionized electrons or photons smash into other molecules, releasing even more electrons, in a chain reaction (like the a bomb). Could this be the Casimir force of the "quantum foam" pushing back on the quark separation- until they reach a distance sizeable enough to allow the wave functions of local spacetime to "go around them", collide/interfere and produce the new pair of quark/antiquark?
Four months, ago, Matt O'Dowd on PBS space time UA-cam channel explained the options for proving and studying supersymmetric particles: better colliders or high energy particle detection from space. The high energy particles from space are rare while billions are needed, so the colliders are the only viable option.
Brian is pretty based for a lifelong academic. Far better understanding of human realities than most of his colleagues who speak and act like they live in a different universe.
This is one of those videos that was put on to fill a space in the background then became interesting enough to focus on, watch and enjoy. I only heard of Axions a few weeks ago and they could have got lost in the sea of theories but now it seems they might be a more serious a contender for the next way forward. The universe is like a maze that we keep finding dead ends and so many openings which we don't yet know if they lead anywhere. But so far we haven't reached the end of every possibility. It could still have an overall solution, which is wild and exciting.
That statement "Space-time is a form of matter, too" found on what I believe I recall is page 178 of Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek's book "Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality", is a turning point in the fundamentals of Physics. Inherent to the statement is that the definition of matter now incorporates a direct interchangeability with space, and offered as follows: The intent herein is to provide a new definition of matter and space consistent with the CIG Theory: That new definition of Matter is: That which has mass, consists of the curvature of space-time and has an element of motion. While the current definition of space in its simplest form customarily is: "a boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction" As can be seen, since we have redefined Matter in the context of the curvature of space-time, we must also redefine "Space" as well, herein and as best I can, as follows: Space is that three dimensional extent in which objects and their events occur, wherein those objects of Matter are they themselves curved space-time, wherein the aforementioned space consists of and emerges via the unfolding of that Matter into various volumes and densities of Space by way of opportunistic rates of motion of Matter. In it's simpler form, Space is unfolded Matter, emergent from rates of motion. That's it and if I come up with a better definition or if someone else would like a try in the context of CIG Theory, please have a go at it. In this manner, a particle can become spatial and go through both slits in the double slit experiment. So, the single statement in the book "Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality" can be so elaborated upon. I would love to see a discussion on that statement alone. These two are brilliant.

How do I have to interpret your reference to “Hegelian dialectic”? Thank you. I think Hegel was a genius. When he died, also his scientific approach to philosophy was buried. And philosophy became a platform for the publication of individual believe systems rather than a scientific research for knowledge and truth. I think that our scientific progress is being hindered by people that think that their meanings and feelings about scientific topics is a benefit for science and increases human knowledge and truth. Science is based on skills, discussion, passion and unbiased analysis.
Dr. Greene, I'd like to suggest that you ask persons who's opinions you value whether moving your camera back about 10-30 percent of what it is currently set at? Thank you for your consideration.

Hi Dr. Brian, I am always amazed to listen to your all presentation, very poignant and soul reaching. Wondering if you have ever thought of gravity including other (unknown/ yet to discover) elementary forcefield was present before big bang? There are some indications in holy scripture (Quran)? Best regards.
The purpose of consciousness, take the entropy of the distribution of individual Grooves, coalescing us into entrainment of the planet! Creativity is the intelligent addition, that explains any unpredictable discrepancies that appear.
He mentioned the symmetry of the sphere in beginning. It goes further. Don't overlook that a sphere extends outward in all directions yet always curves back to itself as well. I try to live by that. I must be real square.
The cover of Wilczek's book reminded me of the Dover reprint of Max Born's "Einstein's Theory of Relativity" and another of theirs, Wyel's "Space, Time, Matter." I'm just at the beginning of the video, but am settling in for an enjoyable two hours.
I like this formulation. I like equating "meaning" to _mean_ - as in the arithmetic mean of a set of values. The mean of a probability distribution is also known as the _expected value._ The expected value is a measure of the predictability (along with standard deviation) of a distribution of possible events. What something "means" / the "meaning" of something is essentially what do you expect about its value.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself yup. A handy mention for me to keep in mind while proselytizing, but I really mean you can extrapolate it to every question about meaning. Ive typed up quite a bit on it. BUT the emphasis is on the evaluation. You start with context and a set of conditions. You review. You experience.
The chat reply kinda cracks me up. I'm no physicist, but one thing I know as truth, and my evidence is proven through my own experience, so prove me wrong, you can't, nothing is impossible. (No thing being still regarded a thing, mind you) The only impossibilities are based on a individual's own unique perceptions. And this applies to the "really real" world. At this stage of evolution there are some things we simply will not be able to comprehend until we "level up" and with all the dogmas of science at play I give great kudos to Brian for being a sorta "equalizer" we need more "truth" seekers who will not allow dogma to bog down the advancement of human knowledge. *side note* I love how they go into describing the naming process!!! "They" didn't let it fly. See based on my experience "They" don't get to be the overlords of what we name the stuff we discover. That giving up of power to someone else is soooo yesterday. LMAO! Each of our experiences should be as life and perception altering as Einstein's discovery was for him, mine have began being for me in regards to almost every aspect of my life. Not just profound advancements in socially accepted modes of scientific education.

reality, physics... never mind them, because the things can be infinitely big and small, but our ability to see them are always limited. These guys (scientists) are only making a living telling stories but are never getting to the bottom of it. The bright side is that these guys are creating more and more funs for us, but always within the boundary of a sandbox.
Wow! very human, warm, fuzzy, and mind expanding, great comfortable synergy on a quantum level. thank you Brian, and Frank...Sounds like everything is really connected, strings, rubber bands, paperclips, conservation of energy and mass....blessing to love and truth, the continuum....some great chat questions, enjoyed. tyvm
HOW LUCKY AND WONDERFUL IT MUST BE TO BE CONSCIENCE AND AWARE AT A YOUNG AGE OF THE POSSIBILITIES AND CHOICES AVAILABLE TO ONES SELF WHETHER IT BE SCIENCE OR ART OR SOME OTHER CORSE OF STUDY.
Thank you Brian these talks help me get through this whole virus thing. Keeps my brain busy ✌
Great conversation and discussion. Not understand all of it but like the way Brain explaining complex matters in an animated way.
Thanks for a wonderful, uplifting talk!
Thank you for such amazing interviews and explanations. 👍
Thank you.both of you.
My daughter’s undergrad degree is in physics. She had a life sized cardboard ‘paper doll’ of Einstein. She walked him around campus, including taking him to physics classes. Maybe he helped her - she completed all the undergrad physics courses by the end of her sophomore year, and started grad level physics her junior year.
She said the best thing about physics was that she never had to leave kindergarten. It was playtime, with advanced math.
Just brilliant. Thank you Profs. Greene and Wilczek. Perhaps our reality emerges out of an existing multiverse and not the other way around. Who knows. : )
I'm in need of around 50000 Indian rupees for the treatment of my wife she got injured in an accident and is critical please help me .
And do believe me I will repay it back to u by doing my job overtime but please help me today I have talked to my friends and relatives but no one is helping I anything happens to her I cannot forgive myself because we have done love marriage so everyone bis against us and nobody is helping us
There is another practical vs. speculative explanation of strong force and it comes from propulsion system based on time dilation described by one hands-on scientist. Details are in 4-min story on Medium "Simple quantum explanation of gravity without mass or math".
Beautiful snowy landscape outside your windows. Thanks for sharing.
Great programing. Thank you for taking the time to explain different concepts. I so appreciate it. My mind doesn't function at the speed of light like yours and so many of your guests. Looking foward to your next projects. RMM
Your minds function at the same speed :) It's only that he's spent most of his life studying cosmology & physics, so he knows those fields well. I'm sure there are subjects you know far better than Brian
My trustworthy ISP failed me right on 15th Jan :( I was looking forward to trying to attending the session.
For what it's worth, I would think Dr. Wilczek is to get second of those Nobel things for anyon. So, pardon my presumptuousness, Congratulations in advance Dr. Wilczek :)
Brian's illustration at 17:23 is just epic!!!
Bubbly stuff!!!! :P
Always natural, awesome, open minded ...Brian, and his college Frank
You sure do talk to each other lots, it would have been more interesting if you shared some more details, or explained just a little more. Lots of chuckling, plenty of promises -- sorry no sale. You are both presenting as happy and wise - I wanted to hear more details .
Following you all the years in different ways. Thank you for educating us with understandable words. It’s not easy.
I read Fundamentals. I liked reading it, the vast net it casts to place the different pieces together.
Great interview, great discussion. Thank you both.
First of all, thank you for these. If I could make a small request, could we get timestamps for the topics in the video?
Blah blah blah juggling laundry soap
Blah blah blah
58:28 laundry soap FASCINATING!
1:0026 Spermion gets rejected (imagine that)
Can’t watch anymore of this drivel.
Good luck
@@melissaclaire8502 stick to a topic. If we get a focus it becomes much more understandable. No need for complex math but some helpful at times.
I’ve been into it 30 minutes and not much physics yet.
First of all, you're very welcome. Tx for watching. And, no, you may not make a request. Good day, sir. :D
@Đeath Vader General Tarkanian - I'm telling the Emperor you said that.
i second that request. por favor. muchas gracias.
Very interesting conversation. Thanks for making these available!

I would love to see WSF team bring on kip throne in upcoming conversations with noble laureates.
By the way, The WSF is dong a great job by brining on such an amazing content.
Thank you to all ,
Excellent content! Just make sure to laugh with him and bask in his humor when he jokes rather than ignoring the joke and rushing to the next topic. That would make it feel more organic convo rather than an interview, I know you have a lot of topics you want to get thru, just a viewer perspective
'complimentarity' - word of the year. A bit of validation for lateral theorists.
Wonderful conversation, thank you for this!
The human mind of astronaut-scientist Jack Schmitt suddenly spotted the orange soil on the moon and it was the human that took over from the computer because astronaut-pilot Armstrong understood the rocky landing site was not sound. I'd agree with the cyborg hypothesis. As usual a unique brilliant presentation. Thank you Prof Greene
Giants of the mind. Utmost respect and gratitude!
I am thoroughly enjoying this discussion.
What would the world we live in today be like if people of this caliber were the leaders of our world?
It would be like the politics at the departments of our universities... hell on Earth. ;-)
Even the highly intelligent cant accept that free will is just a human concept like religion, that strokes the ego of the accomplished, justifies the pain of the losers of society and motivates us all to be our best version of our selves and at the same time gives us a certain feeling of being in control. But the simple reality is, that if you believe in logic and empirical evidence there is no real free will in what we believe to be our reality as of now. There is just our genetic code and our experiences through life that determain our choices.
Like philosophers have said hundreds of years ago. If an entity could know everything there is to know right now and were not limited in any capacity, that entity could predict everything that would happen and every choice everyone would make untill eternity. The decision people make is a simple formula of their genetics and their experiences and in theory could be predicted perfectly.
Only because life and the personal experience of life is highly unpredictable, makes that predicting once choices and future is complex. Even watching a youtube video, reading a comment, the food you eat, every encounter no matter how insignificant changes a person permenantly.
The thing that most people call free will or a choice, is just a reaction to an impulse manipulated by genes that have been manipulated by other impulses and actions and the environment through time. When you look at choice as a reaction, which I dont see any other way logically how one could look at it. Every choice is just a reaction manipulated by prior actions and reactions and I dont think the implication that people have with the idea of choice actually coincides with being on a track determained by genetics and experiences out of our own control. I think choice implies actually being able to do different things on our own volition than what one does and there is just no logical argument to be made that is based on emipirical evidence as of now that could prove free will or choice as it is seen now actually exists.
Well, the behavior of quarks creating a quark anti-quark pair does remind of the behavior of the magnetic force when a magnet is cut in half: both pieces of the magnet will still have a north and south pole.
"cast a wide net, don't try to understand everything before you understand anything, pay attention to the foundation, learn calculus soon as possible, be curious and have fun" 1:52:41. advice for the ages, ta Frank.
Great conversation and great book (just finished it)...Thanks Brian and Frank!!!
If you like, try the book "I Have Become Space"
So this quark/strong force dilemma reminds me of how the physical act of stretching an electric arc raises it's voltage potential/energy level. The idea that some have as an explanation for this effect in electric arcs in gases is that of "electron avalanche"- ionized electrons or photons smash into other molecules, releasing even more electrons, in a chain reaction (like the a bomb). Could this be the Casimir force of the "quantum foam" pushing back on the quark separation- until they reach a distance sizeable enough to allow the wave functions of local spacetime to "go around them", collide/interfere and produce the new pair of quark/antiquark?
It is a maze that never stops giving ,one could only wonder of its limits ...orderly and beautiful ..imagination is short of it potential .
Really appreciate your time in making these great videos.
Excellent!!! Very inspiring. Thank you.
Conciousness is the part of the subconcious that optimizes the subconscious via consciousness.
Four months, ago, Matt O'Dowd on PBS space time UA-cam channel explained the options for proving and studying supersymmetric particles: better colliders or high energy particle detection from space. The high energy particles from space are rare while billions are needed, so the colliders are the only viable option.
Brian is pretty based for a lifelong academic. Far better understanding of human realities than most of his colleagues who speak and act like they live in a different universe.
Please get Lee Smolin or Peter Woit in the interview too!
This is one of those videos that was put on to fill a space in the background then became interesting enough to focus on, watch and enjoy. I only heard of Axions a few weeks ago and they could have got lost in the sea of theories but now it seems they might be a more serious a contender for the next way forward. The universe is like a maze that we keep finding dead ends and so many openings which we don't yet know if they lead anywhere. But so far we haven't reached the end of every possibility. It could still have an overall solution, which is wild and exciting.
Good thought ,but ... a maze is built predicting a certain mindset ,it has to keep its designed target busy for a certain purpose ...and time .
Please more live sessions or start a Brian Greene podcast
"Space-time is a form of matter, too"
That statement "Space-time is a form of matter, too" found on what I believe I recall is page 178 of Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek's book "Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality", is a turning point in the fundamentals of Physics. Inherent to the statement is that the definition of matter now incorporates a direct interchangeability with space, and offered as follows:
The intent herein is to provide a new definition of matter and space consistent with the CIG Theory:
That new definition of Matter is: That which has mass, consists of the curvature of space-time and has an element of motion.
While the current definition of space in its simplest form customarily is:
"a boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction"
As can be seen, since we have redefined Matter in the context of the curvature of space-time, we must also redefine "Space" as well, herein and as best I can, as follows:
Space is that three dimensional extent in which objects and their events occur, wherein those objects of Matter are they themselves curved space-time, wherein the aforementioned space consists of and emerges via the unfolding of that Matter into various volumes and densities of Space by way of opportunistic rates of motion of Matter. In it's simpler form, Space is unfolded Matter, emergent from rates of motion.
That's it and if I come up with a better definition or if someone else would like a try in the context of CIG Theory, please have a go at it.
In this manner, a particle can become spatial and go through both slits in the double slit experiment.
So, the single statement in the book "Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality" can be so elaborated upon. I would love to see a discussion on that statement alone. These two are brilliant.
So love these streams !! Thanks so much for doing!
I listened to these geeks for five minutes last night………haven’t gone to sleep so fast in years……..
I can't wait for the next wsf in nyc

I can't help thinking Dr Wilczek has ensnared himself in a perfectly self consistent Hegelian dialectic
How do I have to interpret your reference to “Hegelian dialectic”? Thank you.
I think Hegel was a genius. When he died, also his scientific approach to philosophy was buried. And philosophy became a platform for the publication of individual believe systems rather than a scientific research for knowledge and truth.
I think that our scientific progress is being hindered by people that think that their meanings and feelings about scientific topics is a benefit for science and increases human knowledge and truth.
Science is based on skills, discussion, passion and unbiased analysis.
such a nice discussion...i wish i knew this kind of math
Suggestions: I would really enjoy a session with Michio Kaku.
Or Edward Witten.
Or Abhay Akshetar.
Or Kip Throne
Yes thanks again for the inspiring brainstorm. ♥
Why is there any dislikes? If you don’t understand or agree, point that out in the comments?
While I can relate, the answer is simple - this is youtube mate. And when you compare likes vs dislikes, I think that it works out pretty well.
Love this channel
Great conversation. Thank you
Dr. Greene, I'd like to suggest that you ask persons who's opinions you value whether moving your camera back about 10-30 percent of what it is currently set at? Thank you for your consideration.

wonderful conversation, thanks
You just heard a genius speak.... pay attention... he doesn't need to talk to us.
really fantastic conversation. Best wishes from Europe.
Hi Dr. Brian, I am always amazed to listen to your all presentation, very poignant and soul reaching. Wondering if you have ever thought of gravity including other (unknown/ yet to discover) elementary forcefield was present before big bang? There are some indications in holy scripture (Quran)? Best regards.
There was no religious bullshit during the big bang. Not even the Neanderthals had religious bullshit like the Koran. ;-)

Greene blathers until 24:00. Then there's a bit of Wilczek.
"Dark Matter, is like being able to see a vast beach of sand, but not able to see each grain."
Who said that? One of these two guys said that? I don't like that analogy at all, sorry. Just mho.
The purpose of consciousness, take the entropy of the distribution of individual Grooves, coalescing us into entrainment of the planet! Creativity is the intelligent addition, that explains any unpredictable discrepancies that appear.
Heroes! Frank is fantastic. Read the book. Great. In talks he is also great and very funny from time to time.
He mentioned the symmetry of the sphere in beginning. It goes further. Don't overlook that a sphere extends outward in all directions yet always curves back to itself as well. I try to live by that. I must be real square.
The cover of Wilczek's book reminded me of the Dover reprint of Max Born's "Einstein's Theory of Relativity" and another of theirs, Wyel's "Space, Time, Matter." I'm just at the beginning of the video, but am settling in for an enjoyable two hours.
Meaning is the evaluation of the predictability of a scenario.
Thats it. You can derive all arguments about meaning.
I like this formulation. I like equating "meaning" to _mean_ - as in the arithmetic mean of a set of values.
The mean of a probability distribution is also known as the _expected value._
The expected value is a measure of the predictability (along with standard deviation) of a distribution of possible events.
What something "means" / the "meaning" of something is essentially what do you expect about its value.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself yup. A handy mention for me to keep in mind while proselytizing, but I really mean you can extrapolate it to every question about meaning. Ive typed up quite a bit on it. BUT the emphasis is on the evaluation.
You start with context and a set of conditions. You review. You experience.
The chat reply kinda cracks me up. I'm no physicist, but one thing I know as truth, and my evidence is proven through my own experience, so prove me wrong, you can't, nothing is impossible. (No thing being still regarded a thing, mind you) The only impossibilities are based on a individual's own unique perceptions. And this applies to the "really real" world. At this stage of evolution there are some things we simply will not be able to comprehend until we "level up" and with all the dogmas of science at play I give great kudos to Brian for being a sorta "equalizer" we need more "truth" seekers who will not allow dogma to bog down the advancement of human knowledge.
*side note* I love how they go into describing the naming process!!! "They" didn't let it fly. See based on my experience "They" don't get to be the overlords of what we name the stuff we discover. That giving up of power to someone else is soooo yesterday. LMAO! Each of our experiences should be as life and perception altering as Einstein's discovery was for him, mine have began being for me in regards to almost every aspect of my life. Not just profound advancements in socially accepted modes of scientific education.

I am in need of money that's why I am asking it but believe me ,I have been through a lot of spiritual awakening here in india and it just opens a new dimension of universe my wife has gone through a special process of kundalini jagran that is why I am begging u to help me
And one day I will invite u to india to experience that spritual universe
@@kalpeshsharma3823 if you spend time working instead of posting your begging requests on as many UA-cam channels as possible you’ll make 50k rupees in no time at all and it will mean nobody has to spend time with you or your no doubt charming wife 👍🏾
Make a Patreon account plz, as it's a great resource to use. Science always needs 💰 and knowledge is priceless
That would be dumb.
Great Video. Great Minds ! Thanks
