- www.ted.com In a taut soliloquy that takes us from the origins of the universe to the last days of a dying sun 6 billion years later, renowned cosmologist Sir Martin Rees explains why the 21st century is a pivotal moment in the history of humanity: the first time in history when we can materially change ourselves and our planet. Stunning imagery of cosmological wonders show us the universe as we know it now. Speaking as "a concerned member of the human race," Rees harkens to the wisdom of Einstein, calling for scientists to act as moral compasses, confronting the coming developments and ensuring our role in "the immense future."

@Anson Gabriel i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I'll wager that on the day our planet is blown to bits there will be seen on the largest bit a McDonald's and it will be open for business.
Having known Sir Martin for about a decade now, I have never heard (or read) such amazing seriousness. Hi ability to succinctly examine humanity's role in the universe is both honest and pleading; hopeful, yet accepting that humanity's biggest problem is humanity.
Absolutely true, humanity's biggest problem is humanity.

Humans are the so-called crowning achievement of Earth's evolution, but they've let me down, often cruelly.
We are not the endpoint or top of evolution. That is a misconception. Humans are just one branch on the tree of life
Also: don't blame other people for your unhappiness
As George Carlin said many years ago -
The earth isn't going away anytime soon .............. WE ARE
It bothers me when people say "save the planet". Earth has been a molten rock, and a frozen ball. Maybe it will one day be a baren wasteland, but it will still be. Shouldn't it be about saving humanity?
Yep, I dont want all our children to perish but maybe the planet could do with us not being here anymore lol.
@@rainsmith6138 yes exactly. This young 16 year old Swedish girl about to sail into some climate change seminar when she should be 'sorting' herself out instead. If everyone focussed on themselves first the planet would be saved as a by product perhaps
@@rainsmith6138 why? humanity is a cancer and needs to go away, ASAP!
@@rhinegun3482 life will endure, it has done so long before us and it will long after us. Humanity has not been the first thing to lead about a change on this Earth and it won't be the last. We have been given an opportunity for life. With that life we have potential for great progress as well as great destruction. It will be our destination we find though, if we choose that path. If life is just a fluke we have the potential to seed the universe. If life is an inevitability we have little to worry about. I think the human experiment is worth considering, and so does evolution. For now. Maybe our destination is inevitable, everything runs it's course eventually. But just like every lifeform, we'll fight to hold on.
If this dream ends, there’s a never ending number of other dreams awaiting us.
We obviously don’t know very much about this universe or how it came into being. But I find the enormous size of the only universe we can see to be comforting.
There is nothing more pleasing to the ear than the voice of reason and intelligence, ...a rare gift to humanity!
One thing I found rather odd to hear from an astronomer is that while it's true that in 6 billion years or so, the Sun will expand and collapse, taking the Earth with it, but in just 1 billion years, the Sun's brightness will increase by 10%, which will most likely mean the extinction of complex carbon based life on Earth unless something can be done to shield the planet. Maybe I'm missing something since astronomy was not my main subject in college.
Neil deGrasse Tyson once said that it is pointless to hire someone as a bed warmer as they would obviously wear pajamas and that would insulate them preventing their body heat from warming your bed. I don't think he knows the difference between an insulator and a perfect insulator but then again I dropped out of high school...

Brilliant ...! One of those TED talks that warrant watching more than once.
If you can't appreciate this ,am afraid you do not have a heart and feelings to emulate great work.This is fantastic!!
I must admit that in my lifetime I've learned and understand (up to some point) from many different scientists about evolution, nuclear fusion (sorry, I was only 14 years old) , the Big Bang (for which I probably know how it started), worm holes, black holes, dark matter, dark energy, and much more.
In primary school when we where tested (through some form of IQ test) the school told my parents that I must have cheated someway as my results where way beyond the maximum expectation. So I had to redo the test with many teachers watching me as the only student in a room to make sure I did not cheat. As I was never prepared for any form of IQ test, I currently scored a few points lower due to being nervous, however still far beyond what was expected from a "standard student".
At my current age of 52 I've never heard of Sir Martin Rees. That is up until now, August 2019.
And I can say: "what a brilliant man!" I want to know more about him, what he does, who he is, what his major is. And so forth.
Whomever read this far, I encourage to do the same, and discover this , but also many other scientists. It enlightens your brain, your knowledge, your freedom. Don't constrict your brain with suffocation religion.
Enjoy life. Drink a beer, because in heaven ain't no beer. (Not that I believe in any form of afterlife ;-)

@@phantomwalker8251 Harry, have you been drinking? Your words make no sense.
How exactly do you cheat on an IQ test?
@@bitemethehardest I didn't. The school lured me into the test without any preparation. On the first results they did believe I cheated, but how could I, I had no idea there would be an IQ test. After a chat with my parents I had to redo the test, me in one classroom with four teachers watching me constantly. That made me a bit nervous, so I scored about 2 points lower. That was when I was 12.
In those days I stopped asking questions to teachers, as they could not answer my questions, so I resorted to books from a university library and I started to create my own hypnotizes of nuclear physics and quantum mechanics. When I sent a letter to a nuclear fusion laboratory with questions (before the internet started) I was invited by some professor working there to discuss the matter. On arrival He believed it was a joke that a 14 year old kid showed up, but I convinced him in less than two minutes I was serious.
So; no I did not cheat on my IQ test.
In order for humanity to change from a destructive to a benign influence on the Earth a fundamental shift in consciousness will need to occur. A fundamental change from a fear and lack based consciousness to a love and abundance based consciousness. Fortunately this is what our Creator has planned to occur.
Only seeing this now,thanks for posting.
I really enjoyed that talk, extremely lucid in its content and full of simple logic, no complex equations or rhetoric! Great!
I liked the jest about the American Bible belt, or was that a quip? Of course Albert E. regretted signing those two letters to FDR, and our tax dollars secretly went to building a bigger boom-boom. And the USSR plotted on mostly alone to fight the Hun for us. But wait! We've only blown up a little over 1,000 nuclear weapons, lots of them into our precious atmosphere what did the holy Einstein say about nuclear waste? This is three years before Fukushima I realize but Fukushima is a game changer. What does Mr. Rees have to say about Glowball human self absorption of the nuclear Pandora's box?
I have to say your logic is simple and neither you or that speaker are lucid!
"Hello god, are you there still?"
"No?.....Guess we (some of us!) have moved on from your bronze-aged bullshit"
Sir Martin Rees...
To explore the outer cosmos.. We need to explore the the inner cosmos....
Man is a microcosm....
Who am I..
I am not the body, I am not the mind... I am not the thought...

Space, time and matter are only derived from our sensory world...
But the soul is beyond...
The soul is primordial energy...
The omnipresent, omnipotent...
Element.....
Space and time... Even matter do not exit..
We all need self exploration

At 2:50 he says that those stars probably don't have planets, but that was 10 billion light years ago. Today they probably look completely different... it's just that the light hasn't reach us yet... and they are probably so far away that the light from those systems may never reach us because we are travelling away from them... things a certain distance from us are not worth wasting time over, because they will never affect us.. let us work more on what lies a head and how we can prepare for that and make the future better for our planet and all the wonderful life that lives on it... and if we need to get ready to live somewhere else at some time in the future... lets start working towards that now..
Just a thought...
But the light that is just reaching us IS our point of "now", nothing is faster than light
A pretty good summation.

Love the rumpled professorial look. Especially those trouser cuffs. For what its worth: the wild card for humanity has always been, and will always be, the optimism, ingenuity, and courage of the young. Humanity's back is against the wall, once again, and in past crisis', the young have found ways and means to escape calamity. Let us hope, for the sake of our endangered specie, and all earthly life, that they will rise to this challenge as well. It's something to hope for. And hope is about all we got left..........
Have you seen the kids these days? We are so screwed it ain't even funny. And they think it's funny and cute. We're doomed
The notion that we will always find a way to weasel out of our own collective stupidity, just because we have thus far, is not as sensible as it might seem. It is not unlikely that the scale of the problems we have created for ourselves is insurmountable. Technology and optimism will not always and forever be capable of solving every calamity we create, simply because it has in the past.
We continually dig deeper and deeper holes for ourselves, always with the trust that our cleverness and resourcefulness will save the day. But at this point technology might not provide us with a ladder big enough to climb out of this abyss, it might just give us nothing but more shovels.
Never fear though! The Elon Musks of this world will solve it by allowing us to escape to Mars! A world a thousand times more desolate than Earth even if we spend another thousand years destroying our own habitat here!

This is what the Indian Vedas have
always claimed, Martin Rees: that
there are a countless number of
universes.
They are constantly being reborn and
decaying. And here we speak
expressly of universes and not of
galaxies.
And that this metacycle is a perpetual
one, say the Vedas, forever.
There's nothing about ancient peep-holes that gave them some greater insight or intellect than anyone today. They simply engaged in the use of powerful hallucinogenics which have demonstrated can give you NDE type of experiences. There's nothing new here.
@Heindrich etc - quite correct. Thousands of years of the ancient wisdom and further. Chaldean era and further back in the mists of time when Gods were little more than men and visits from other dimensions to nudge and guide the fledgling human race including warriors 10 ft tall and blacker than ebony...... Madam Blavatsky did a great job of interpreting the Bahagavad Gita. The western and other recent eastern religions tend to ignore what you mention, but the great 4th level eastern teachers of Vedic traditions eg Nisargadartta Maharaj and Ramana Maharshi on occasion did discuss the cyclic coming and going of universes. Modern man his sheer arrogance and the frittering scientific mind is so sure of itself and it’s relentless indoctrination of short term ignorance and dismissal of the ancient wisdom that it’s like observing noisy children in a sandpit building sandcastles. But never mind. Nothing a good visit to an Observatory one fine evening, wouldn’t cure. There’s nothing better for the restoration of wonder. And childlike wonder is a cure in and of itself..

A true talk by an eminent astrologist. Anybody listening to the end may have their eyes opened, others may not understand, others it will be what they already know such as me. The human race in astrological time has been around for 5 minutes, we should be proud of what we have achieved apart from the bad stuff such as war. Anybody who likes to think of travel to the future as Martin Reese say’s would be surprised at what has happened to reshape humans if we have not destroyed ourselves which is also possible. My thought is what would existence be then?

The thing that's always annoyed me is the penchant of cosmologists and astrophysicists to use the present tense when describing the universe.
It seems to me that when you're relying on light that's been travelling for billions of years, everything you observe is an ancient historical event.
For instance, they still talk about galactic collision NCG 2207 as if it's an event that's happening now and will continue to happen for the next few million years. When in fact what the Hubble photographed happened 80 million years ago and the collision was probably over when the dinosaurs still walked this planet.
They are using the "anthropocentric" principle. Events that happened zillions of years ago light years away don't happen here until "our" time. Kind of like our time zones. Something in NY happens 12 hours "later" in Hong Kong, for example.
Something that happens in New York happens at exactly the same instant no matter where in the world you are.
If you watch film of it later you are watching the past and it should be explained as such.
When they say the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate they are using present tense to describe an event the evidence for which may be hundreds of millions or billions of years out of date.
In fact the universe could be contracting but humanity will never live to see it.
Astrophysicists are essentially historians describing the past. None of the objects they observe are actually in the locations they observe them in and many may have creased to exist billions of years ago.
@@Domesticated_Ape . If I agreed with you we'd be talking about two different things. An instant in time is the same anywhere in the universe but I think you're talking about how we interact with that instant.
No. Your's is a philosophical point - mine deals with reality.
If you map the universe based on what you can see now, the map would have no basis in reality. Nothing we see in the night sky is where it is when we see it.
What we're doing is taking a picture of a speeding train and then showing someone the picture two days later and telling them that this is proof the train in that position when it's actually a thousand miles from that position by the time you showed them the picture.
When people say the universe is expanding and that the expansion is accelerating they are talking about historical data that in some cases is billions of years old.
In fact we don't know whether the universe is expanding. All we know is that it was.
The example I gave was of NCG 2207. It's said to be 80 million light years away.
Hubble took a picture of the two galaxies colliding and astronomers said that the collision would be going on for about 3 million more years, which is not true because the light we are seeing is 80 million years old. So the collision was over when the dinosaurs still roamed our planet.
Even when we look at the other side of our own galaxy we are looking at a picture of how it was 100,000 years ago.
Einsteins relativity isn't relevant. We supposedly know how far away something is so we know how long light took to get here so what we're looking at is an historical event.
I fail to see how astrophysicists can say the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate when the data they are using can be billions of years out of date. Plus the fact that two galaxies can collide means the expansion isn't uniform because one galaxy must have been travelling faster than the other in order for them to catch up to each other.
The ancient people understood a lot more than we realize, since many cultures saw the Orouboros as a symbol of creation.
They also didn't understand a lot more than they understood; they thought that gods threw lightening bolts, sacrificing virgins caused crops to be bountiful, and that demons caused disease - too name a few examples.

Best speach I heard in my life.
The parallel realities or dimensions he talks about have been known to exist for millennia - they have usually been called spiritual realms or the astral realms or heavens and hells and so on. For some reason it is taking scientists a long to time to figure out the connection between their physical theories that predict parallel realities and the historical records about the parallel realms in every human culture that has ever existed that we know of.

Thank you, Sir Martin.
I know, he makes so serious it becomes silly.
My question: is the temperature of our sun stable, or do suns increase or decrease in intensity through their life...which makes sense.
Could this be responsible for part of our own climate change?
Depends on what time scale you look at it. But If the time you're interested in is in the thousands or millions, than yes, the Sun's temperature has been increasing and will continue to do so. However, the most reputable and valid studies show that the sun is not contributing to climate change in any significant way.

Earth doesn't need us to survive & endured much worse then us, we need earth
What interests me is that it took half the lifespan of our sun just to bring life on earth to the point of "intelligence" and fitful starts to space travel. How can one then so easily and assuredly *assume* that life on earth, or indeed anywhere in our universe, has the time needed to become truly intelligent and spacefaring? And the earth's life is *only* about 1/4 of the *entire* age of our *universe* - so how likely is it actually that significantly more advanced alien life has evolved somewhere within our light cone?

Thus a host star, fostering a Goldilocks zone planet aging for 10 billion years, say, in an aftermath of (if the theory of big bang is even partially accurate), is of no chemilurgic significance, we are just a chemical reaction, an electro glazing for a nanomoment - we don't mean anything. we are just we, a fizz, a eyeblink effervescence. of no meaning or purport, in dimensional existence meaning nothing, in a soup of infinite matter, and infinite empty cubic area sharing, too, no 'all', as that word connotes a beginning and and end.
we are the finite ones - in a cradle and bath of infinity.
+Ka Bong no "beginning to time". You know how I know you don't understand reality??? Einstein from exactly 100 years ago called, he want's Newtonian fan-boys to stop prank-calling him.
you use so many long words to say nothing. youre not as smart as you think
It is part of the holistic theory of the universe, that spacetime and gravity are emergent.
So that would mean that there is a beginning to what we experience as time.
In at least this bubble we are in, the amount of matter is not infinite.
There is something you might call the bit, the smallest amount of 'information': the Planck scale.
Even black holes grow in size when they absorb other 'information'.
Information is not lost. It does not mysteriously disappear.
On top of that, it is the black hole's surface area which grows proportional to the absorbed information.
Besides a law of conservation of energy, there now also seems to exist,
a law of conservation of information
.
If you believe that house flies could evolve into Tyrannosaurus Rex, you have absolutely no grasp of the evolution theory and should make an attempt to research the matter before dismissing it.
Respect man.. empressive.
very good.
Bet it's not, the safe bet for quantum reality is that everything is the creation of our own perception and that by ignoring probability you find a universe of unpredictability and that being so, any conclusion is the right one or the wrong one it makes no difference because with multidimensional reality suggests it's right somewhere at sometime
True that! I always say... "If or not Everett's many worlds persist they exist if only in the mind in that they can be quantified"
It's rather exciting to me because I'm under the impression that quantum computers (should we ever get those working right) maybe able to take that understanding and some starting data {like the collective knowledge of mankind, thank you internet} to begin charting it's position in the potentials of time. At least it should be able to find what questions need asked and answered to fill in the data necessary to make that calculation with a known margin of error...
In 2008 this was a question. In Mid 2019 ... this is a serious worry.

Wow , that picture of titan was incredible
the world will last for ever , humans won't last very long
Also nothing lasts forever, not even universe..
***** Not toasts but it will dissolve in nothingness..
World will NOT last forever! In approx. 1 BILLION years the Earth will be an uninhabitable desert. In approx. 5 BILLION years the SUN will become a RED GIANT and Earth ( along with Mercury, Venus and Mars) will be destroyed. Better start looking for a NEW HOME ( and a way to get there)
This a very critical time we live in. The chances of a nuclear holocaust are very real. Nothing can survive it.
But if we can come to understand the severity of our present situation, and that the crazy, radical despots of the world, I e, Kim Jong un, refrain from blowing us all up, it's possible we may continue to evolved into a radically different type of sentient beings unlike our present selves. I refer to beings composed of metal and plastic, or perhaps some other type of material not yet developed. In order to withstand the rigors of outer space, we, by necessity will become other than flesh and bone. Also, our lifetime in our present form is too limited when traveling to other star systems, where we may "seed" a suitable planet with our DNA and those of other organic living things. Whether we survive our self-induced extinction depends on how fast we can develop machines capable of saving ourselves from ourselves.
The planet will exist until the sun goes Red Giant from consuming almost all of its hydrogen by fusion to helium. It is indeed absurd for humans to fret about slightly used nuclear fuel one percent being the supposedly deadly plutonium, half of which it will take 24 thousand years to emit helium nuclei as "radioactive decay",
It is more useful to ask whether there is any decent moral excuse for allowing our global numbers to go from about 3,250 million in 1962, to >7,500 million today. There is also the reckless burning of fossil carbon, changing the content of the atmosphere much faster than at the time of the most recent mass extinction.
End of the world? Short answer no. Long answer nope... its a big rock and will be a big rock long after us

Excellent. He's a wonderfully engaging speaker, able to take the very long view. A pessimist? I see him as giving the human race warnings that we ignore at our peril.
Dinosaurs were around just over 100,000,000 years on Earth. (Jurassic ~56MYrs / Cretaceous ~80MYrs. ) and Humans, in our most distant guesses, likely only go back 100,000. Perhaps only 30-50,000 in our current form.
Just something to think about.
@earth ocean Huh, i'm not sure if i just didn't submit or if Google deleted it / held the comment. None the less I had missed the point regardless, you were referring to Nuclear weapons.
Perhaps so... unless you read the Vedic scriptures regarding thermonuclear spear weapons lol

The takeaway?
Nature always wins. Always.
@geezusispan It's always been man vs nature. Just because you kill an animal to wear its skin to keep from freezing to death does not automatically make you a small part of nature. It makes you an adversary.

Serious food for thought, perhaps the planet has been the scene of more remarkable events and advancements only handled better in past slithers of time. If the timeline is only half way and we refrain from fucking our selves and the planet 🌍 we may have a chance yet!

The electrodynamic /plasma universe is a large component of the dynamism of our universe.
I think you don't really understand what you are saying, let alone the topic.
Aryan Zijlstra Ok. Thanks for sharing.
@@drscott1 I hear this so much.
Most people don't understand what dark matter is, but assume it is dark, void of matter, the space between "nothing". But dark matter is a whole different thing at all.
It would take too much time to explain right here in the comments, and I believe there are much better video's out there that explain it much better than I could.
If you do understand dark matter, then forget about this comment. If you don't, search for "dark matter explanation"
I agree with you Dr. Scot!
Aryan Zijlstra Lol. I know everything dark matter is not. Thanks for your profound understanding and interest in the non matter.
A singularity by it's nature causes temporal distortion. The accumulated mass of all singularities creates an Einstein-Rosen bridge with the output at the big bang. More of a hydra than an oroboros.
