Thank you very much for sharing these insightful and intelligence containing videos !! Excellent !! Greetings from California … I wish you and folks and all good health , success and happiness !! Much Love ✌️😎💕
At 57:08 Lawrence Krauss says that “light does travel in straight lines.” This is incorrect. It makes no difference what scale you talk about. If your assumptions or interpretations are wrong then your conclusions will be wrong and you’ll continue to remain confused. Luis, the answer to your question “How will we avoid destroying ourselves as a species?” is for humankind to have a unified theory. In order to have a unified theory, physicists must have an intimate understanding of the physics of light. Light must be understood as the one and only substance of the universe, of which all matter including space are conditions of this one substance. I believe if physicists start with this, we can make progress. Lauren Dove

One might agree to disagree on details, but Lawrence creates an atmosphere for open intellectual discussion. Kudos to Lawrence; you are a mensch.

Life is not eternal, reality is.
Thanks for your comment. It looks like we might be using similar words to mean different things. In any case, thanks for the input.
Never mind he is being biased
It is painful hearing a scientist talking about politics
he will know the answer about God when he dies he will be ashamed !
Nah
And there is the silly person who threatens everybody with his invisible friend. ;-)

Light is simply "as straight" as you can make something.
