   It's not just in the Bible that the light came first. Pretty much every ancient culture believed this from the Mayans to the Egyptians. We're coming full circle. The leading theories and ideas about the universe now depict how the entire reality is like a giant living organism that grows and evolves and manifests new things. The big bang is the breath of source energy from which everything manifested. All of the parameters for the structures of the universe were defined within the first nanconds of the big bang. It wasn't random. There was a fundamental pattern at the core of that creation. It…

   Uh Lawrence Krauss has a wonderful piece in the upcoming scientific American on this absolutely crucial point. It means that within measurable time there will be no signs left in the observable universe that the big bang ever occurred at all. Everything will have disappeared out of sight. There'll be no markers uh nothing to take observations from. I mentioned this because it's often said that how can um how can uh something come out of nothing? It's the clever clever question every religious demagogue and businessman always begins by asking you. Well, we know we've got a bit of something in t…

   This is the real behavior of physical stuff in the universe. So Aristotle says, "I know what's going on. Motion is an unnatural state of being. There are natural ways for things in the universe to be places that things want to be in forms of motion that places and things want to have. And if you just let something go and don't disturb it, it will just sit there. It will not move. Motion requires an impetus, a mover. Something needs to be pushing it." This illustration stolen from the internet. The dog is not actually moving the car. You see the dog there, right? If you look very closely, there…

   There's reasons why things exist, reasons why things happen. And this was elevated to a principle called the principle of sufficient reason. The principle of sufficient reason is literally the bumper sticker you see that says everything happens for a reason. Okay, there's a technical way of saying it that linenets uh the guy on the right said Spinosa is in the middle. All three of these philosophers promagated this principle and the way that Linus put it was the sake for which something happens is the final cause. Sorry, the principle sufficient reason is nothing is without a ground or reason …

   objective reality out there are you comfortable with that absolutely all life is conscious even bacteria anarchia are are conscious how can we know that the Mind At Large really exist the game of metaphysics is the game of coming out with the best hypothesis we can it's not about proof even in science there is no proof there is only falsification in foundations of physics people get very very confused today because measurements show that physical entities only exist after you measure them and we get confused and then we spend huge amounts of money trying to reconcile that with physicalism nons…

   Knowing is an experience. That's me. One say that's me. It knows itself. >> Yeah. >> It brings into at the same time that it knows itself, it brings it into existence. Okay. And it must be a part whole of itself. Why? It's not made of parts. One is not made of parts. It cannot see itself just a little bit. It's got to see itself completely in the direction in which it look at itself. >> What [clears throat] is direction? The direction is the identity of what it brings into existence. That's the identity of the sati. It brings into existence a saty. A part of itself that now b…

   Davies explains, "The coming into being of the universe, as discussed in "modern science, is not just a matter of imposing some "sort of organization upon a previous incoherent state "but literally the coming into being of "all physical things from nothing." Now, this puts the atheist in a very awkward position. As Anthony Kenny of Oxford University urges, "A proponent of the Big Bang theory, "at least if he is an atheist, "must believe that the universe came "from nothing and by nothing." But surely that doesn't make sense. Out of nothing, nothing comes. So why does the universe exist, instea…

   And that would be a very beautiful resolution to all of this. We've yet to find anything like that equation. Would we have to rule out those possibilities? Because s such an equation would say that all of these trillions of other potential ways of organizing the universe actually can't obtain. Uh we just didn't realize it before. Would we have to show its impossibility in that sense to show that it didn't in fact exist? Or is there a world in which we can prove actually they are all definitely possible and yet we know that they don't exist? Sure, it could just be historical contingency. If we …

    Most humans are innately aware of the existence of fundamental laws of nature. These are the laws that define our material existence of our universe that we physically inhabit and that currently define our conscious existence. But what humans fail to realize is that how these laws, when singled out for dissection seem so contrary to our common sense. This series is slowly reminding you that the rules of life follow the physical laws who are their counterpart, even when your beliefs cause you to think otherwise. When you begin to explore the microcosm of our quantum reality you begin to see how…
