- Even the greatest scientists have made some serious blunders. "Brilliant Blunders" concerns the evolution of life on Earth, of the Earth itself, of stars, and of the universe as a whole.
In this talk, astrophysicist Dr. Mario Livio explores and analyzes major errors committed by such luminaries as Charles Darwin, Linus Pauling, and Albert Einstein.

One of the best lectures ever. I resolve to blunder far more henceforth, and encourage others to do so as well.
I like Prof Livio very much because when he makes an important point he SHOUTS AT THE AUDIENCE and that helps me to remember it! :-)
He shouts too much. Don't need to be hollared at
@@Moronvideos1940 EHH??? SPEAK UP SONNY 👂🏻🤚🏻
he's fun to listen to
That’s why I remember everything my dad says.
Really cleaver and simple explanation about genetic’s fundamentals. The stuff you didn’t hear so much out of classrooms, I suppose. 👌
This deserves a much, much wider audience. Thank you.
Mario is incredibly enjoyable to listen to!
Ł
This was a neat lecture which left the audience captivated. So I bought the book!
Neil Rieck hi was it a good book that you can recommend?
Hi. u where at the speak?
@@eskibliss Yes! Titled "Brilliant Blunders: From Darwin to Einstein - Colossal Mistakes by Great Scientists That Changed Our Understanding of Life and the Universe"
@@andersask5503 Yes! I am lucky to live 4-Km away from the Perimeter Institute so try to attend every public lecture.
I love PI, I love Dr. Neil Turok, Greg Dick, great work, deeply appreciate, is there a way to know of the next lecture before it happens, please
Neil Turoks lecture on the amazing simplicity of making sheeet up was bo.
Delightfully illuminating lecture!
Enjoyable, thanks.
Professors really hate it when you point out that they wrote a bad question on their exam.
The best professors love it though.
Well, brilliant blunders by a brilliant lecturer. I only wish there is more of a similar caliber lectures at Perimeter Institute.
There's lots.
What a delightful lecture, by a delightful gentleman
Great insights, wonderfully presented!
Mario is so humble and not arrogant unlike his science colleagues.
Brilliant! Thank you :-)
Outstanding!
Factual and entertaining lecturer.
Wow! Dr. I am going to be your follower
Wow that was fantastic! Thanks PI.
30:54 "In 1948 Darwin was in England" OOPS! I think he meant "Pauling was in England". It appears even the terrific Mario Livio is capable of making his own Brilliant Blunders :P
And some far from brilliant as well.
It is encouraging to note that the like/view ratio is not much more than 1%!
His 3 strand DNA is supposed to work for silicone based lifeforms. Came up in a crop-circle pictogram right next to Jodderel Bank replying to the gold plate on voyager.
Great presentation.
Thanks!
59:00 In the US, Naval Nuclear Power School / Nuclear Field 'A' School is another program that does not (well, didn't in 1988-1990) use multiple choice or true/false examinations.
Metastability requires constant maintenance to sustain. Some blundering is inevitable and naturally occurring quantisation integration of real-time probability.
19:32 how could a black butterfly come from white butterflies (under blending)?
Good, Well worth a bump,
I understand RNA DNA but fail to completely understand ETA ( Evolutionary Transformational Agents) Can someone help she'd some light here, thanks.
Best quote at 56:30! 💗Science 💗
Brilliant and spellbinding.
I always cringe a little when the audience can ask questions. Don't know why though...
The blunder was: Darwin had a copy of Gregor Mendel's original manuscript and he failed to read/or appreciate the significance of the work.
becouse uses traductor en diferent lenguage or spanish thanks from chile sudamerica
Mendelian heredity example is still confusing. If AA is white, aa is black, and Aa is gray, you end up with only 3 possible outcomes. The probability of gray is 50%, and white and black 25% each. How do we get shades then?
Also if every female gives birth to one of the two distinct sexes this doesn’t agree with the above example with black and white where 50% of the outcomes would be hermaphrodites (half male half female).
I am sure there must be better explanation.
Greg Dick (presenter) looks like the late Alan Rickman.
...That's Sir Charles Darwin and Sir Fred Hoyle. You know; the origin of species guy, (with Alfred Russel Wallace, incidentally,) and the big bang guy, (which was a piss take!)
The things thrown are only electrons. That's why they form shield for the earth and planetary objects. The reason Sun doesn't burst into flames and explode. And why they throw out is because of the polar repulsive magnets. Usually flames don't throw things and act like combiners. Usually Sun doesn't give heat. It warms the planet only through light. That's why it is cold during night. Heat is a phenomenon only within event horizon and that's the reason the space don't have heat. When electrons reduce speed by one third you see heat. That's why an ordinary electric cables melt. Silicon triodes are the max producers of heat. Vector coordinates of heat is around 11° out of 90°. That's why heat doesn't take bends beyond 11. Because heat doesn't dissipate smaller black holes are complete molten silicon. They can swing. Light takes a turn on surface not light takes a bend of extreme gravity. Or that you can get out. Light takes a merge sequence of bending by reflection off surfaces. There is no diffraction or refraction. Only reflection convergence or divergence. Light cannot be split. They can only slow down or speed. They just take different forms of colours of speed. Based on distance short cut. Even sounds are reflections. Light slows down sounds. That's why you can hear thunder better during night. Electrons are trap modules of light slowed down to one billionth of light speed at one billionth of 90°. That's why they can wave ride to light speeds.
Rosalind Franklin discovered DNA model, not Watson & Crick. Time to acknowledge her more often.
Didn't they actually build it though, with old ear-buds and bogeys?

What are xou.
Too bad that the best versions of stories turn out to be fake. The more different versions of a story I hear, the less convincing it is that there are any true stories. People eventually adjust and readjust the stories until there is no way to either verify them or disprove them, by a process of evolution.
The last version of the white-versus-dark moth story I heard before this one was a debunking of the story that light moths had evolved into dark moths as a result of the darkening of tree bark by pollution, or rather there had been a shift in the population of this moth towards darker. Somebody checked out the records and the different moths themselves and found there had alway been two moths, light and dark, and the records showed the populations had been the same. In story 1, we are destroying the earth and now have to save it. In story 2, we have had no effect in this case. Now the story has been readjusted so that there had once been a shift in populations, but more recently, since pollution is supposedly less, the relative populations have recovered to be as they once were. In story 3, we have been destroying the earth, but have changed our ways a bit, and the earth is recovering, and we must do more to save the earth.
The other stories have likewise been altered. The usual story about Mendel is that he worked in total obscurity, and was ignored, not that Darwin surely knew of his work. It was when Mendel was long dead, after his kind of ideas became the norm, without ever knowing of Mendel, that some one discovered Mendel's dusty records of his experiments with the same ideas. It is said that the opinion of experts on peas is that Mendel must have know a very lot about peas to have found the few characteristics which would demonstrate his principles, because it is seldom that simple.
I have read a very long (900 pages) biography of Newton. Here is how I understand the version of the apple story from Newton. While Newton was outside on a nice day, he wondered whether the very same action of an apple falling might also apply to the moon. In other words, if things like apples fall, then also the moon must fall. The point of the thought is not about the apple, but the moon.
In Newton's time, most thinkers were just beginning to reconcile the observations of telescopes, where heavenly bodies, especially the moon, looked material like the earth, with the long held idea that heavenly bodies must be of an essence different than earthly objects in order not to fall, but rather move in circles. It should be mentioned that moon had always been thought of as intermediate type of object, because even without a telescope it could be seen to be blemished and not perfect. So the thought of the moon falling was not as outrageous as planets falling.
Newton soon came up with an idea that would have the moon, or any object, constantly falling and yet stay the same distance from the earth. Imagine if you fired a cannonball fast enough exactly horizontally. Even while it is falling in the direction of the earth constantly, the curvature of the earth would fall away enough that the cannonball would surely hit further and further away as it was fired faster and faster. It could go all the way around the earth once. And if it could go around once, it could also be made to go around any number of times, including forever.
Nice story about Newton. He was a mentalist. He wrote 9 times as much about theology as he did the natural sciences. Also manager of the Royal mint where he convicted and executed numerous forgers. But then you would know that! I often think he must have come from the same place as Tesla, just found fairer patrons. X
I've read his books.
Now I get to listen.
Will he lecture us on how not to fall for the appearance of design.
That's Dawkin's job.
Things may look designed but that's an illusion.
My eyes are glazing over.
You sound undecided. ??
@@lengould9262
Are you decided,?
@@peterjongsma2779 Absolutely. It is obvious when you've studied ancient history as much as I have. Religions are merely tools elites use to keep everyone else doing what they want. A big joke.
@@lengould9262
The besseting sin of this generation is Ingratitude .
The Sun and The Moon do meet.
We are such stuff as Dreams are made of.
Convince me we are not.
Who taught you to Read and Write ?
Stop being so Absolute and Obvious .
Seems like these 3 stories are repeated again and again. It would be more interesting to find some new stories.
Perhaps very important for a Brit, but regarding Darwin Mario Livio seems to claim Darwin never read any newspapers and never had any discussions with anybody about things going on in the world.
Walking around half evolved
I can't believe that there are still people that take Darwin / evolution so seriously. Diversity alone, is more than sufficient proof to refute any so called evolution of any kind as stated by evolutionists. We need a new origin of Life theory / evolution.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah :) Yes. Blah.
#polive xou eh?
His delivery is comic, BUT,
I heard only one punch line!
The theory of Evolution should be called the Darwin/Wallace theory.
Oh no... I found that 'even he's on the horse there but didn't find the correct theory' so funny... Y!
but dd🙂
🤣 outdated by Chinese scientists , the tree is head down !
Stop shouting at me damn it
Evolution is not a fact, its an assumption.
There are no physicists on this planet only sheep.
That will apply to all people. It's called human nature.
Another purposefully bad haircut/comb job on a super smart physicist. Ooooh, look at how smart he is, can't even get a regular hair cut and comb his hair properly!
his haircut is Not at all mportant.
