  • Andy Knoll is a Renaissance Scientist. He is a geologist, paleobiologist, and geochemist and has applied key ideas from chemistry, biology, physiology and more to understanding the key developments associated with life on Earth-both how geology and chemistry have impacted on life, and vice versa. He has made ground breaking contributions to the understanding of almost every phase of life, from early Pre-Cambrian single cell life, to the emergence of more complex lifeforms, to mass extinctions. His group was the first to demonstrate that the rapid rise of CO2 was probably responsible for the last great extinction on Earth, a subject of some relevance today. For his work he most recently won the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Crafoord Prize in Geosciences… the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in that field.
    But more than all of this, Andy is a wonderful teacher and human being, and a great communicator . Andy has written numerous books on the history of life on Earth, and Lawrence and he discussed his most recent book, “A Brief History of Earth: Four Billion Years in Eight Chapters” in this podcast, along with his own origins and evolution as a scientist. The discussion was so fascinating that Lawrence and Andy went overtime during the first session and had to continue the next day.
    This discussion will forever change your perspective on our planet, and our place within it. Enjoy.

No they were not full grown animals (for the most part on the Ark) but as the Bible says male and female (ie, sperm and eggs) of the animals with lungs (ie, with BREATH) were stored on the Ark for a year.

    It is only proper that Andy ended the conversation with the same concept that he started it with. He started by explaining how his contributions were unique and only possible because of his life work integrating biology (Life Science) with Geology (Earth Science) and in his answer to the last question of where he thinks science is going, he said: Advances in the future will take place through more integration between different fields of science.

I also enjoyed the discussions regarding developing autodidactic traits, continuing long after graduate and postgraduate work, and the nature of observation and knowledge; a phenomenological and epistemological analysis if you will. The import and role of science in society is ever more relevant in these strange times.

    Theory of Everything solution (short version):
    Swap from Newton "real/necessary" universe over to Leibniz "contingent/not-necessary" universe as our fundamental blueprint of the universe.
    This includes Leibniz calculus vs Newton calculus. Anywhere Leibniz and Newton thought different. All of it. Full swap.
    Gottfried Leibniz "contingent/not-necessary" universe just lacked 2022 quantum physics verbiage (just match up definitions i.e. quark and Monad) and Hamilton's 4D quaternion algebra (created 200 years after Leibniz died).
    Lastly, our first number is NOT 1.
    It's 0.
    Our ten numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3,...9 ✅.
    Our ten dimensions are 0D, 1D, 2D, 3D,...9D ✅.
    Ask someone to begin counting. I bet they begin with 1.
    1 is not the beginning.
    0 is the beginning.
    1D is a Line; two points; physical; matter; beginning and ending; contingent.
    0D is a (point); exact location only; no spatial extension; zero size; quark (strong nuclear force); necessary.
    Examples:
    What is another word for quark?
    fundamental particle, elementary particle.
    Do quarks take up space?
    Its defining feature is that it lacks spatial extension; being dimensionless, it does not take up space.
    "0D (point)"
    How fast do quarks move?
    the speed of light
    What is an elementary particle example?
    Elementary particles include
    quarks (the constituents of protons and neutrons),
    leptons (electrons, muons, taus, and neutrinos),
    gauge bosons (photons, gluons, and W and Z bosons) and the Higgs boson.
    What is the size of an elementary particle?
    The elementary particles are not believed to have any size at all. As currently understood they are zero size points. Protons and neutrons (and all hadrons) are about 10−15m.
    Match Leibniz definitions to quantum physics definitions. Different word, same definition.
    Not a coincidence.

      Human consciousness, mathematically, is identical to 4D quaternion algebra with w, x, y, z being "real/necessary" (0D, 1D, 2D, 3D) and i, j, k being "contingent/not-necessary" (1D xi, 2D yj, 3D zk).
      1D-9D contingent/not-necessary universe has "conscious lifeforms" (1D xi, 2D yj, 3D zk)..."turning" 'time'.
      [In mathematics, a versor is a quaternion of norm one (a unit quaternion). The word is derived from Latin versare = "to turn" with the suffix -or forming a noun from the verb (i.e. versor = "the turner"). It was introduced by William Rowan Hamilton in the context of his quaternion theory.]
      [Math; 4D quaternion algebra]
      A quaternion is a 4-tuple, which is a more concise representation than a rotation matrix. Its geo- metric meaning is also more obvious as the rotation axis and angle can be trivially recovered.
      How do you make a quaternion?
      You can create an N-by-1 quaternion array by specifying an N-by-3 array of Euler angles in radians or degrees. Use the euler syntax to create a scalar quaternion using a 1-by-3 vector of Euler angles in radians.
      "Turn" to what, you might ask. 5D is the center of 1D-9D. The breadth (space-time). All 'things' are drawn to the center, the whole.
      [Contingent Universe]:
      3 sets of 3 dimensions:
      (1D-3D/4D-6D/7D-9D)
      The illusory middle set (4D, 5D, 6D) is temporal. Id imagine we create this middle temporal set similar to a dimensional Venn Diagram with polarized lenses that we "turn" by being conscious.
      Which requires energy. 3D height symmetry/entanglement with 9D absorption is why we are "consumers", we must consume/absorb calories, and sleep, to continue "to turn" 'time' (be alive).
      1D-3D spatial set/7D-9D spectral set overlap creating the temporal illusion of 4D-6D set.
      1D, 2D, 3D = spatial composite (line, width, height)
      4D, 5D, 6D = temporal illusory (length, breadth, depth)
      7D, 8D, 9D = spectra energies (continuous, emission, absorption)
      Symmetry/entanglement:
      1D, 4D, 7D line, length, continuous
      2D, 5D, 8D width, breadth, emission
      3D, 6D, 9D height, depth, absorption
      [Time]
      According to theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, time is an illusion: our naive perception of its flow doesn't correspond to physical reality. Indeed, as Rovelli argues in The Order of Time, much more is illusory, including Isaac Newton's picture of a universally ticking clock.
      Does time exist without space?
      Time 'is' as space 'is' - part of a reference frame in which in ordered sequence you can touch, throw and eat apples.
      Time cannot exist without space and the existence of time does require energy.
      Time, then, has three levels, according to Leibniz:
      (i) the atemporality or eternality of God;
      (ii) the continuous immanent becoming-itself of the monad as entelechy;
      (iii) time as the external framework of a chronology of “nows”
      The difference between (ii) and (iii) is made clear by the account of the internal principle of change.
      The real difference between the necessary being of God and the contingent, created finitude of a human being is the difference between (i) and (ii).
      Conclusion: Humanity needs to immediately swap from "Newton" to "Leibniz".
      Our calculus is incorrect (Leibniz > Newton):
      What is the difference between Newton and Leibniz calculus?
      Newton's calculus is about functions.
      Leibniz's calculus is about relations defined by constraints.
      In Newton's calculus, there is (what would now be called) a limit built into every operation.
      In Leibniz's calculus, the limit is a separate operation.

    One time, I saw a zircon. It felt sort of hard and soft. Then I put it under the nuclear magnetic resonance viewer and it said it was happy to tell me that it was 101^673 billion years old. So I turned to my colleague and said, "I have a hypothesis...." Immediately he held up his pointer finger of his left hand and proclaimed quite persuasively, "I don't have time for hypotheses. You either tell me the truth or I'm going to step right out of this nuclear magnetic resonance machine room."
    I said, "OK, then, you will never know the secret of The Great Zircon." And I flipped him off and left the nuclear magnetic resonance room.
    Come to find a couple years later, I met the same scientist. It was a drizzly November day in Harvard Square, he was sitting on the grass in front of a large pepperoni pizza, about to lift a slice. I sauntered over and said, "So, you think you know the secret of The Great Zircon, well, I'm here to tell you buddy that you don't know squat!" And I took a puff of my pipe and walked briskly away. I laughed because I knew his pizza would get wet, unless he pitched a tent to cover it up and capture its savory odor under the tarp.

    I heard mention of the "Faint Sun Paradox", I heard mass extinctions in stages around the world ("recurring feature" @2:30:10), I haven't heard much about re-speciation or the capability of new species to remove Co2 from the atmosphere more efficiently than previous life forms.

    Sorry I'm late, but great interview. For me, how life began is possibly the most important question I'd like to see answered. (As long as it's supported by evidence). Oh, and my mate said that it wasn't Tuesday it started (as Andrew pointed out), it was a Sunday, but they changed it for religious reasons.
    Surely, if we powered everything stationary by nuclear energy, we could still drive cars. No?

    Dear Laurence - all was going quite well until your insistence that modelling is IT and decided humans are to blame and anthropogenic fearporn spews out of your mouth… its not science its ideology. How sad but of course follow the money is easily turned into ‘I know better than you’

    TH-cam has some wonderful recent videos on the evolution of hominids. So much has been learned in recent years. What is fascinating about this interview of two modern hominids is to see how far our ability to exchange complex information has advanced. This exchange has revolutionized our understanding of our world in just a single lifetime. How lucky we are to be able to see it all.

    I find it fascinating that the earth was a water planet, was described in Zechariah Sitchens book the 12 planet. The knowledge he wrote came from ancient cuneiform text. But we are still arrogant.

    I'm so glad I just started this in the background and started playing a computer game without looking at how long it would be -- I never would have thought to listen all-the-way-through in one sitting, but just letting it happen instead!

      I've been getting through a fair number of these while playing a computer game too, though I have the windows side-by-side since the game is a little boring at the start, and I keep rewinding the video for some of the topics.

Wow, inspires me to see if I can grab some graduate classes at U of Arizona. At 78 I still get excited. The hamster wheel in my head is “squeaking” as the ideas flow. Thank you, gentlemen for a superb and inspiring discourse.

    Lawrence, you're the greatest Physicist (scientist) that's ever existed. That's just my humble opinion. Ive watched every single lecture, documentary and debate you've been involved in since 'a universe from nothing'. You are my personal God, but the difference is; I know you exist. Thank you.
