      I really enjoy these podcasts. One wonders how many civilizations have noticed our existence. 100 light years radius and growing. Hope friendlies find us first. Considering the number of Borgs on Earth, it's not improbable they're out there. A celestial Klaus Schwab would be bad news

      There was no beginning and can be no end , before the big bang there possible was another big bang or similar, the end will only be the end of our universe, it may give rise to another universe , or other universes will continue to exist , basically there are no limits and infinite amount of possibilities

      It is no nature in 4% of the universe.
      Renaming either theory dark matter doesn't make it physical or a material lol
      Their is no esoteric theory of everything woven into the universe. It's more complex than this. Just as you would create something you would add more redundancy to it.

      On the one hand we'd travel for about 40 thousand years to get to the nearest planet that MIGHT support human life, nevermind the inevitable conflicts that would compel those astronauts to attempt to return to Earth after about one, count 'em, one generation......... but on the other hand, I'm wondering how if in space something has to push against something else to achieve movement, and in the opposite direction, but if space, by definition, is nothingness, what does a space craft's engine propel against while in space? If it's truly propelling against nothingness, why is it not motionless? Just hot air blasting out of its nether regions, like a series of farts. I'm not denying gravity, I'm just saying "space" needs to be redefined if we are to continue.

    Lex Fridman. This man stole my heart. I’m a 29 year old mom who is cleaning my home and I can’t find anything else in the world I would rather listen to. This seems like the most important questions in life. Everything that came out of this man’s mouth is all I think about on repeat in my brain. I don’t comment usually in videos. Especially his excitement for ai makes me think that it’s one day going to come up and slap us in the face with the advancements of technology once ai is helping us. The part especially about making a simulation to predict certain clues for the actual theory of everything really made me wonder if were in one right now. The theory that gets everyone spooked.

    Исключительно интересная лекция. Алекс, браво! Проблема современной физики в том, что мы не можем объяснить этот мир с точки зрения классической физики, а квантовая теория не укладывается в ее прокрустово ложе. Сперва Калуза пытался снять это противоречие при помощи 5 измерения, затем его теория была забыта и появилась теория струн, которая крайне интересна, но пока никак не была подтверждена. Я полагаю, что наша Вселенная является проекцией другого измерения, ну вот что-то типа кино, когда на экране появляются люди и события, хотя в реальности это просто игра теней. Кино не может осознать себя как реальность, ему необходимо иметь "костыль" в форме наличия каких-то других измерений, которые мы пока обнаружить не можем. Большой взрыв - это когда включили кинопроектор. Но человеческий мозг не может представить реальность, которая существует вне пространства и вне времени. Поэтому крайне маловероятно, что мы поймем наш мир. Похоже что смысл нашего мира лежит за его пределами, или в другом измерении если хотите, которое мы пока обнаружить не можем. Спасибо за лекцию, Алекс!

    Rees is a great example of why matured elders will always be the default to finding wisdom and sanity in progress. Lex has a great optimism which is normal for being under 40, but once you cross 40 and have some experience with all the generations of life, you realize that science fiction really is fantasy for the most part, it’s just that it’s the fantasies of nerdy boys, but it’s fantasy all the same. No one wants to be cared for by a robot in old age. Before returning to grad school, I worked in hospice and took care of elderly people in institutions. It’s a crime we put them in these homes as if they were a burden on “economy” and progress. Old age exists precisely because we are supposed to develop our consciousness further (beyond the maturation it goes through when you become a parent) by taking care of our mothers and fathers, uncles and aunts. It’s not dirty work. It’s profound and humbling and it’s where we find our deepest wisdom, which the tech utopians most often lack because they’re stuck in their childish fantasies. More elders as guests on the show would be a great balance to the youth Lex is still experiencing. People like Rees have the vital ability to speak sensibly about the future of the human race without the tech sensationalism that often blinds the Musk fanboys (me being one of them). Well done on getting this diamond soul to speak on the podcast!
