  • So if you go back to before the big bang you will be going into negative time?

  • "The notion of before doesn't apply".... Zooiks!! Scary...

  • How the hell are there dislikes? lol wtf are people that dumb to dismiss sound theory.

  • klein bottle..

    

  • I really don't want to find out all the mysteries of the unvierse or how it came to be. I think the chase after knowledge in this case is more rewarding then an ultimate answer.

  • beyond imagination

  • Great video! I think we humans are purely three dimensional and we literally can't comprhend overy much going on around us. There is a relationship between how we experience this realm (time) and other natural laws we may or may not be aware of. All the answers are right under our noses but we need better technology or evolution to be able to interpret what exactly we're working with in this universe. i mean let's be honest we really are just big monkeys...

  • thumbs up if your an apple

  • BigThink brought me here!

  • @MrWadeBarrett Added to my list of noteworthy things.

  • 3:34 - 3:53 ohhhh i get it now! as a hobbiest i have always had a hard time trying to grasp the extra dimensions curling up on itself and being microscopic. but now i understand!

  • That's a lot of maybe's and may have's. I'm not buying all of this mumbo jumbo. Sure, these guys have a job to do and if there's no interest to keep doing to job, they have no job, that's the whole point behind these videos. They don't really explain anything just the fact that they have some idea of how and why, even though how and why is irrelevant really -- if you want to claim to have an understanding of reality, accept the fact it is not rational otherwise it wouldn't be here anyway... :)

  • @luismendezs The point of science isn't to know the truth, but to have models of explanation that can predict events to such a degree that we can call it accurate. Why bother with this? Because we can use these models and theories to make devices that take advantage of the way the universe works. Quantum physics flew in the face of what Einstein understood about the universe, but we know its power through computers: Computers rely on QP to work.

  • @henrywiltcher And I agree with that. Science has made a lot of things possible, actually we can thank science for the life we are priviliged to have today - along with the computers. I just don't get in to this dimensions thing, not that I can grasp what's the point but it seems they're just trying to fit this in the equation somehow so that is "evens out" if you know what I mean.

    And how is this not about truth? The whole point is to know the "reality", however bizare.

  • 2:00 DREAM SHATTERED

    

  • we are in one of those extremely small dimensions

  • This is the best Brian Greene video I have seen to date.

  • why is it that every time a big think video comes out, there has to be an arguement on religion

    i know why, because science proves religion wrong, and religion generaly contradicts all of science, and science contadicts all of religion, but why cant you people just let other people be happy and believe in there god? do you really find it nesicary to prove every non athiest wrong and force your opinions on others? you think what you think

    others dont have to think that way, oh and great video

  • @WBenny74 Science doesn't actually prove anything about religion, that's why the debate is still going on.

    @420Vagabond1 Being religious isn't pretending, it's not about intelligence, it's not (only) about explaining the unexplainable. It has evolved into our brains because, at least at some point, it was a good thing to believe in something higher than us - it made the cavemen carry on to the next day. Many people (including myself) are sceptical, but let's still respect everyone.

  • @WBenny74 yea ur right but science can never disprove a god since hes meant to be the creator of everything

  • @WBenny74 Why is it our fault that the retards can't agree with us. They are the ones arguing here. They shouldn't e on big think videos. They should be watching videos with some guy with a towel on his head dancer around for all I care.

  • @TekLok wow you know how to spell!

  • Super Awesome...Love Brian Greene...his ability to get regular people involved in science and ultimately in understanding who we really are....

  • If not for the animations i would of been banging my head against my computer trying to imagine what the hell he was talking about.

  • my head did explosions.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • my whole brain is crying

  • I get so tired of the science vs religion debate all the time, same boring points over and over again. Glad to get something that is just science and really interesting. Sometimes its sad scientists like Dawkins have to waist so much time on religion.

  • AND AGAIN!!! I wanted to see a video with brian greene, explaining his ideas and what is the first word I have to read in the top rated comment? RELIGION!! I´VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!!

  • Excellent explanation but you wasted your animation budget.

  • @420Vagabond1 I'm not sure which is scarier, one who knows this at the core of their being yet continues to self-dilude, or one that really buys into it.

  • I like this guy!

  • Flame War EVERYWHERE!!!!!

  • @domlanic The Bible(even lots in Old Test) is always being proven right historically. See EX-atheist Sir William Ramsay famous archaeologist(not the chemist 1) tried to prove the Book of Acts/Luke wrong...after yrs of digs proved Luke right to the smallest detail & became Xtian. They just found the Pool of Siloam where Gospels say Jesus healed the blind man. Skeptics claim thru history that it never existed. They just found it all - with the 5 cisterns & tunnel EXACTLY per the Gospels accounts..

  • @GoodyBob great old testament has evidence, so now we know god is an ass.

  • @quzishen Poor kiddie troll. Slither back under yer rock please...then study. Watch out for your Karma...you are being watched.

  • @GoodyBob karma? do you know your religion at all?!?!?!? btw if the old testament has evidence, than all those really bad laws of slavery and stuff happened, and since god is the same all the time, he is still an ass.

  • @quzishen Ha...I used a Karma ref to try to get you to think about it since you say you don't believe anything. The Bible is a collection of books by different people over MANY generations. It is the greatest history book ever, BUT I agree the Old Test & some of the New T has some redneck stuff inserted by ancient men throwing their views, fears, & attempted explanations of stuff they couldn't explain. I really follow what Jesus said & what He came here for. He said God is love & light, etc.

  • @GoodyBob cool, thanks for responding and the thoughtful discussion.

  • @quzishen No problem friend, we ALL have lots to learn while here.

  • @GoodyBob "The Bible is a collection of books by different people over MANY generations. It is the greatest history book ever"

    I lol'd hard.

  • @GoodyBob Except that God is a vicious, vindictive and proudly jealous God who revels in human misery which is well documented in both books, so either Jesus is a liar or deluded...

  • @quzishen He had to use parables to get thru to the bronze-age mind (as needs to now even) as He even was referring to spiritual & quantum type worlds. A person can tell what Jesus was about & what He would have & not have said, regardless of translations & Old Catholic rednecks. Please study the real Jesus, history & archaeology. Not the New Age twisted claims & BS. Regardless, you might wanna watch yer mouth. See the PROVEN NDE's & about our lives here, & our effects, etc. BYE

  • @grayfoxv Well said. A minor detail that also baffles me is that God's name happens to be a Hebrew collection of consonants; YHWH which I find convenient and a contradiction as the Hebrew language existed and was widespread when Moses first heard the word of God (supposedly).

  • @GoodyBob His name was actually Yeshua, not Jesus. Almost all Christians are actually blasphemers and don't realise it.

  • @GoodyBob It's not.

  • @domlanic Thanks amigo, no problemo. What you said about no think/accept religion is true is MORE true about scientists. Yes, & about the Muslim robots, & others, including many Xtians/Catholics but not the majority. I rebelled against my p's forcing me to go to church. I agree that some redneck stuff got into the Bible as is a collection of books & history. I like Jesus of the New Test, way more than the old. For yrs, I've researched Jesus historical/archaeological info, etc. No doubt= the One

  • @domlanic Based on your "kind & humane" comment = don't block your imagination so blindly & follow the new-age clones...you'll never be a good little scientist if yer just a robot detective like so many others. It's better to a a moron that loves his fellow man & cares, than a world of comments like yours.

  • I'm very surprised that Dawkins would endorse this as it helps prove the possibility of God/intelligent design. Of his new book: "Mr. Greene tackles the core question: How can fundamental science progress if great swaths of reality lie beyond our reach?"This is exactly what atheists call( Xtians like me) our magical "skydaddy" & heaven. Go figure.

    Also Google The Extradimensional Nature of God

    by Rich Deem. God and science org.

  • @GoodyBob

    Excapt for 1 liiiiiitle thing ... I know you dislike this idea - Evidence!

    This does not constitute evidence of your particular god, nor is it eveidence for waterwalking and similar silly claims. You ACTUALLY have to prove waterwalking. Multi-dimensional realities, quantumphysics etc., no matter how much you desperately wish it to be so, is NOT evidence of virgin births, heaven, waterwalking, burning bushes, endorcement of slavery by divine permission, mysoginy, or even hell

  • @tdjdk Way wrong. 1st your same criteria is applied to you skeptics/history-blockers= show me proof it didn't happen as multitudes say that it did, in fact willingly died for this belief. You're missing one liiiitle thing = research! There is more evidence, & testimonies of Jesus than MOST of history. His enemies even agreed on His miracles, except they called it "sorcery". Of science see Dr. Gisins' work in Geneva on photons think & are connected invisibly even 100 miles apart. See my channel.

  • @GoodyBob

    Name one single extra-biblical source of contemporary evidence of the existance of jeebus. Just one ...

  • @tdjdk I'm real busy this week w/o hrs to help you...but every week sciences point to Biblical accuracy. I admit there's some macho redneck stuff thrown in by men, but The Bible is the greatest history book ever. See Sir William Ramsay(not the chemist) famous EX-atheist archaeologist, said the Book of Acts/Luke was correct to the smallest detail. See the newly found Pool of Siloam & tunnel where Jesus healed the blind man = skeptics said never existed, but now it's been found. On & on..research.

  • @GoodyBob

    Ahh, so you think that because an old book mentions real places, like jerusalem, EVERYTHING in the bible is correct? Is that REALLY your standard of evidence? So, if an old book mentions an old city, jeebus walked on water, virgins give birth, zombies walk the streets of jerusalem, bushes burn without being consumed ... how incredibly convincing ... if you are a, from childhood, indoctrinated religious fanatic. Yea, that's the standard of evidence we all need ...

  • @tdjdk Wow dude, so un-researched & a legend in your own mind. I don't just believe cuz a book mentions it. Ha= try thousands of books, testimonies, including those by Jesus' enemies, & archaeological support, which obviously you never checked out Ramsay, etc. Based on your reply, you are blinded by Zeitgeist(the Mindheist), & the other conspiracy-loving clones. See the over 50 non-Biblical documents confirming Jesus. More contemporary than most of historical figures-Alex the Great 400 yrs late.

  • @tdjdk & you have Tacitus confirming Nero killing a HUGE MULTITUDE of Xtians for the Great Fire of Rome only 64AD only 30 yrs. after Jesus! =where did they come from so fast & most willingly died. No I-pads then bro.

  • @GoodyBob Primitive religion has nothing to do with science. Same craps like Inteligent desing or Self programming brain that just reli-rednecs looks for way how not to look so dumb.

  • @85Damix Religion is outdated. It was a primitive form of explaining the unexplainable, and a quick solution to our fears of death. Christianity is how modern day people pretend they will never die, and pretend they are all "important".  Religion is, in its purest form, the ultimate denial of reality. Religion is the ultimate denial of accountability. Unfortunately, it will be a long time before humanity is ready to accept reality, especially when it's so much easier to pretend.

  • @420Vagabond1 all the religion you know is christianity...

  • @akmaljaward Yeah and whatever religion you follow is any different? Same pretense different actors.

  • @420Vagabond1 i think the main reason christianity exists is so popes can millest little children and get away with it.

  • @420Vagabond1

    Well said.

    Something I've been trying to express to people a long time

    But some people are just too deliriously close minded to accept it and respond in anger instead

  • Comment removed

  • @420Vagabond1 The Gospel is not religion, Christianity is not religion.. Christianity is a relationship.. We live under grace

  • @chaosdimension98

    He never mentioned "the gospel" being a religion. Christianity, however, is a religion. You can say it's whatever you want, but you'll be wrong. Enjoy your delusions.

  • @420Vagabond1 Atheism is outdated as pretending & having only FAITH that the universe began out of nothing, thus breaking laws of physics, etc. & that 0 + 0 = ALL?? Then we have Jesus Christ, IF anyone will quit reading new age garbage & twists/blocks of history & denial of deductive reasoning which NOW says 1 + 1,000 = 0. Good math. Then research real history & archaeology. Sigh.

  • @GoodyBob poorly worded and bad English throughout. bravo

  • @hazandthej LOL. I know, as I was in a big hurry & didn't know the grammar was more important than the quick message! BTW ...you forgot to put the first letters of your sentences in capital letters. I rest my case. Bye friend.

  • @420Vagabond1 Atheism is the fastest growing religion (or lack of religion) ever.

  • I definately understand & c your point here, however, I must say that everything that is n existence has its purpose otherwise it wouldnt be. Perhaps that purpose sometimes has 2 change n order 2 accomodate 2 the natural cycle of change w/n the world that we c. I may sound like an idealist but I do believe that even religion has its purpose, but maybe its purpose may need 2 change if it wants 2 continue its existence & contribute 2 the ongoing human experience.

  • P. S. would you consider Buddhism, Taoism, or Hinduism religion? Just wanting to know your perspective on how you define "religion?"

  • @GoodyBob

    Extra dimensions on the scale of a planck length and a multi-verse help religion somehow? Thanks for letting us know, because I would have never jumped to that wild and seemingly unrelated conclusion on my own.

  • @Ryakki appart from youre reasonable first comment, shut the fuck up. :)

    (in a nice way)

  • @GoodyBob

    Also, there's a difference between saying:

    "Hey, we don't know everything, and in fact, there's things we may never know."

    and

    "Everything's magic, and here's a book about it."

  • @GoodyBob Your problem is you care so much about religion. It's pathetic. Just seeing a religious top comment on this video was sad because it has nothing to do with religion but yet you try to find a way to throw in a religious comment. No Dawkins is not endorsing religion with this video, stop trying to make it that way. And I know it is your favorite hobby but, stop arguing about religion. One day you will realize how foolish you look.hopefully.

  • Very cool that the little character is knocking on the wall of the CERN collider at the end of the vid! VERY cool!

  • This video was made in 3D but you can't see it because one of the dimensions is curled up so small you can't see it . :-P

  • the cartoons are really stupid and render make an otherwise interesting video rather annoying.

  • sharing on facebook is not working

  • Beautiful

  • I'm so jealous of those who will be born in 1000 years or so! They'd know so much more.... I wish I could be reborn and know the answer to so many mysteries...

  • @islandbuoy4. If you think about it, it's hard to comprehend something that is only one dimension only. Know matter how you look at it, there are always at least two dimensions involved.

  • @ IstopAllNonsence. I'm no expert in this, but have taken a few physics classes. I'm pretty sure dimensions are a characteristics of space only.

  • @The8wallace8 you also do not know how to reply, hover over a comment and hit reply so you dont have to type the name, and have no space between @ and the name. you see how "and the name" is not blue? that means it isnt going to anybody.

  • @The8wallace8 No really. A dimension is just a direction in which something can move. We move through time, and it is now accepted that time is the fourth obvious dimension of the universe. Time does not or is not the same as space.

  • @shaninblake why do you assume that religious ppl are the ones who would not agree with or believe the points stated in this video? It seems to me the more we learn about our universe, the more we can see that that we hardly know anything about it. Who's to say if a "God" is or is not the one who created everything we see in our brief lifetimes. As a human, I can not comprehend that there is not some driving force behind what we see today. Stay humble and be open to others opinions, it wil

  • @The8wallace8 "I can not comprehend"

    Argument from ignorance. You don't know any other way for how it would work, therefor "some driving force"? Sorry, poor argument.

  • 115 religious people clicked the dislike button.

  • @shaninblake perhaps 115 were not impressed with the animation...

  • @shaninblake Why? I would think the 4,675 people who clicked the like button are in awe of God's creation.

  • Was just wondering if we will ever reach a "brick wall" in which we are not currently evolved enough or will ever be to comprehend things such as if there were things before the big bang? Could that be a possible inevitable problem we may face?

  • @InterlockingGs In theory, it's possible, simply because of the unpredictability of future knowledge, however, theoretical math is capable of describing many things without a full comprehension of things.

  • 1D, 2D, 3D, are all easy to comprehend.

    4D is interesting, now we are in the realm of invisible dimensions.

    If we were 2D flatlanders we would have a hard time comprehending the true shape of a 3D entity passing through our 'plane' existence.

    So what does the 4D look like according to current models?

    Anybody want to take a guess?

    How do 3D beings/entities (that would be us) perceive higher dimensions passing through our Gee Golly Wiz geometric 'xyz 3D box'?

    Do you see HOPE inside?

  • @islandbuoy4 The answer comes from Geometry. When you unfold a cube (which is 3D), you get 6 squares situated into a cross. A brilliant man (whose name escapes me at this moment) discovered that this can be applied to 4D cubes. In other words, the 4D cube would be unfolded into a cross of not squares, but 3D CUBES. Of course, when you put the cubes together again, it is impossible for our minds to visualize the whole 4D cube in it's entirety. We can however, break it down.

  • @ThePuffyDuck

    do you mean the geometric figure called the tesseract or hypercube?

    you are correct....

    now what geometric shape 2D or 3D, did Sir Isaac Newton come up with after studying the dimensions of Solomon's Temple in the Bible for over 20 years....?

  • @ThePuffyDuck

    Oh hey I also forgot to ask the obvious...

    And what geometrical shape is the New Jerusalem?

    And what geometrical shape is the Kaaba in Mecca?

  • Extra dimensions that are so small that they can neither be seen nor proven to exist, is indistinguishable from extra dimensions that don't exist....meaning that thinking about it (until proven otherwise) is fruitless. I'll continue living my live in the three that i know exist

  • @jtoddguelph If I remember correctly; time is a dimension right? - Einstein pointed that out, correct?

  • It gives me chills every time I think about how small I am in the grand scheme of existence.

  • @FatalityX9 same here.

  • I can't wait for his new NOVA special next month.

  • I've been reading Greene's newest book "The hidden reality" and boy it is awesome. My personal theory is that every possible combination of matter, energy, life and consciousness that can exist within 10 dimensions... does. Greene mentions that there are roughly 10^500 possible fluxed Cabri Yau shapes which condense energy into universes. Our life is a very small part of that, all of the wrapped plank dimensions around us exist parallel to our own consciousness, as probabilities.

  • Brian Greene is great. I love 'The Fabric of the Cosmos'.

  • Parallel Universes!!!

  • You can travel interdimensionally through astral projection...

    btw!)o(666~69

  • There are more dimensions. And we ourselves are interdimensional beings. I've been into anther dimension. It's in the same space. My consiousness remained in my soul. We are souls. My soul is blue colored. A soul looks like an interdimensional jelly fish, i guess. It controls my body with thousends of thin strings that are connected to the nerve system. A soul enters and leaves a body through the top of one's head. Entering a body feels like stroking through your hair. Leaving is different.

  • Also, there are tiny rabbits, smaller than we can perceive, that's causing the effect of quantum probability. Therefore, there are billions of tiny rabbit doppings littering the universe, making up dark matter.

  • If our Big Bang is just an interesting event that happened in the "Big Cosmos" then it introduces the concept of "our space" expanding within the hyperspace of the "Big Cosmos." Three dimensional space in the large scale with 10 dimensions in the infinitesimal scale expanding within a Hyperspace? So, we have Multiverses popping into existence in the hyperspace of this Big Cosmos. Very interesting idea that creates many questions rather than answers. We certainly will not have the final answer!

  • do a search of the following, it EXPOSES science as just another religion.

    >>1379-6 Maya Code KEY to PORTALS-PILLARS-CORNERSTONE<<

    bookmark the page, I guarantee you the page will be UPDATED with evidence that SCIENCE has been shleeping with the enemy, RELIGION, for a long time.

    Scientists fail to remember a FACT of euro-HIS-story that the CHURCH at ONE time controlled science.

    Can the science nerds remind me when the CHURCH said they were no longer into POWER & CONTROL?

    They went underground!!

  • "ELI ELI lama sabachthani"

    translation:

    "MY GOD, MY GOD, why has Thou forsaken me?

    -Jesus

    So we have proof now that ELI = GOD

    And we know LEvI surrounded the tabernacle...

    And we know hEIL from the BethELIte tribe built Jericho

    And we know all significant prophets have IEL in their names i.e. EzekIEL, DanIEL, ELIjah, ELIsha, ELIas...and we know Zoroaster perhaps the first magician invoked magic, the magic of SOUND, incantations were done using SOUND and the help of AngELs to alter angLEs

  • yes yes of course AngELs are angLEs. The wings of the angELs opening and closing would be analogous to the Freemason compaSS.

    To alter the geometry of the matrix would involve knowing how to apply cosmic celestial geometry.

    What is a bigger prize, landing a man on the MOON, or being able to alter the weather on the altar called Earth, using the MOON as counterweight to a barycenter we share? FUNNY how I promote the 1379 Maya Code and the FACT is we have not been back to deep space since 1973.

  • So where do we find the MAYA CODE on Merikan Freemason Architecture?

    Where do you want to start to *SEE* the obvious?

    BTW the MAYA CODE connected to their Long Count Calender is simple.

    13=underworld, 7=earth, 9=heaven, multiply them together 13x7x9=819 days.

    So now I wonder if that is why the CORNERSTONE on the CAPITOL Building that George Washington laid is in any way connected to the MESOamerican 1379 MAYA Code. Evidence suggests the MESOpotamia Code is 1376, i.e. the 'reverse' polarity code

  • AHA! the CAPITOL Building in Washington D.C., the highly ritualistic CORNERSTONE was put in place on September 18, 1793.

    Can we find the MAYA CODE 13x7x9=819 in that date?

    Yes ALL seven numbers are in fact there!

    Now in what passage in the bIbLE did the TWO PILLARS in the Temple of Solomon get erected, the same TWO Pillars that are referred to as Jachin and Boaz?

    REMEMBER I suggest these TWO PILLARS are in fact the TWO SPECTRAL LINES between which we can place the 'DIMENSIONLESS number '137'

  • continued from the posts below....

    so the passage where we find the TWO PILLARS getting erected in the bIbLE is in fact: 1 Kings 7:13-22

    and the first Freemason constitution was drafted in 1723, the second one in 1738, and the House of the Temple is located at 1733 16th Street NW in Washington....

    YUP all of the above are COINCIDENCES?

    LOL

    The main problem is that the IGNORANT, PROFANE, MUNDANE, VULGAR sheeple who love to gossip do not know they are ignorant, profane, mundane, and vulgar.

  • time to repeat the I37 mantra connected to the electro-magnetic fIELd. "ELI ELI lama sabachthani"

    translation:

    "MY GOD, MY GOD, why has Thou forsaken me?

    -Jesus

    So is the TRUTH starting to sink in, how simple the SOLUTION really truly is?

    Dr. Michael Persinger CLAIMS HE CAN UNIFY the WORLD in 10 minutes using the EM fIELd and our dreams.

    SOUNDS like fun, all Dr. Michael Persinger and ME (EM backwards) now need are 6+ billion lab rats who want to find a solution to the MAZE we are in.

  • BTW the great aLchEmIst Paracelsus suggested the artist ELIas would be revealed when humanity was ready.

    We are getting closer, but we will need many of the ignorant, mundane, profane, and vulgar illusions to die first.

    JUNG's guides were ELIjah, KA, and phILEmon...another coincidence?

    In the acclaimed book called Number 9 written by Cecil Balmond, the story centers around the mystic EnjIL.

    And need I tell you I was reborn as RaphaEL...though it appears I am missing an 'I' or is it an EYE?

    LOL

  • "ELI ELI lama sabachthani"

    "137 137 lama sabachthani"

    translation:

    "MY GOD,137, why has Thou forsaken me, am I outta TUNE with the Big KAhuna?"

    namaste

  • And the plaque that commemorates the landing of George Washington at Braddock's Rock in 1755 lists 713 men dying in an ambush when others claim only 456 were killed.

    So why list 713 dead at a place that had great significance going back to at least to 1632?

    Far too many coincidences, DUH only a dummy suggests all the 137 evidence is a coincidence.

    ELI ELI why have thou forsaken me?

  • go to 6:30 of the video, and listen:

    "ONE OF THE KEY THINGS THAT OFTEN LOST IS ... when you are testing a theory you do not need to test every single prediction of the theory .... you need to test enough of the predictions that you gain confidence that the theory is a good guide to the nature of reality and then if that theory tells you things about realms that you can't see like a realm before the big bang your actually learning about that realm even though you can't test it or see it."

  • @islandbuoy4

    PART 2 of last post re: quote "ONE OF THE KEY THINGS..." Now take that quote and come to the realization that if we apply the words of guru Brian Greene to the QaBaLaH, which was in fact a good guide to the nature of reality, in the time it was written, and it was in fact a THEORY of EVERYTHING, and this theo-cosmology had placed a NUMERICAL value of '137' to their THEORY of EVERYTHING, occurring 1000 years before we decided 137, the fine structure constant to be a main player!!!

  • Great proof exists that SCIENCE is a vEILed rELIgion.

    Who wants to see a blueprint for what 'CERN' really is, that can be dated without a doubt, back to the 17th century???

    A blueprint for CERN exists dating back to the 17th century!!

    Mo evidence: the Puritan Arian Sir Isaac Newton who in FACT was an aLchEmIst, spent MOST of his time using the math/physics/optics he invented only in his spirited efforts to prove the bIbLE true!

    Then science adopted him, stole his work inspired by religion.

  • Richard Dawkins has gone off the rails:

    search for Richard Dawkins and male privilege on Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy blog.

    Participating in flaming a woman because she dares to say 'don't objectify me at a conference'? Poorly done, Dawkins.

  • @8yankee

    google 'Richard Dawkins puts on the God Helmet', this video proved to me that Dawkins is immune to even hearing his own voice? i.e. his own EEG fed back to him. To a fella like Dawkins who has his own science specialty, I would love to ask him to tell me what the hierarchy of sciences is?

    Is physics #1, or the emerging BRAIN SCIENCES? assisted by MRI we can now see exactly where the activity is taking place in the brain. And MRI will lead to Masonic Reality Interface one day? LOL

  • Fuck this dude. Fuck Dawkins. There are 11 dimensions. You're welcome. You can all go home now.

  • great I love it.

    Newton was an Puritan Arian, the best Alchemist of his day, the Last Great Sorcerer who conjured up the math and physics he thought he needed in order to unlock the hidden secrets of the BIBLE...that is a fact...another fact is that science stole his IDEAS and called them their own, and then have been battling the CREATIONISTS ever since.

    Newton spent 25+ years probing the bible via the design of Solomon's Temple and its HIDDEN DIMENSIONS??

    What did it look like?

    >>> TESSERACT?

  • The dimensions are to small to notice and he's to smart to understand.

  • What I am far more concerned with is a point Mr. Greene brings up. What is the point in understanding other dimensions. That is work that can be done later...when we figure out how we can keep human life active in our Universe. From what I understand, our sun will die billions of years before the "bubble of the Universe" "pops." So how about we focus our great physicists on coming up with ways to keep humanity alive after Earth in uninhabitable. Once we get that worked out, then other probs

  • this is the truths that we clever people are searching for!

  • @Inpitcrasher You are not clever.

  • Great ideas and theories here. THX

  • Come on, Prof. Dawkins. Hidden dimensions are as unfalsifiable, therefore as unscientific as God.

  • @drrobertoboogie97 I don't think so. I think that it's impossible to PROVE other dimensions RIGHT NOW. But look at the last 100 years. We've learned so much more in 100 years than in 5,000 years. Leave SOME possibility open. However, my main issue is that there are far more pressing problems than what's outside of our universe. Let's work on sustaining human life after our sun dies...then we'll get to other dimensions.

  • @CaptHandsome42 It's mathematically impossible. It's possible to derive an uncertainty principle for dimensions. Here's the thing: If we observe an extra dimension, the ordinary 3 spatial dimensions become completely uncertain, but we know that 3 spatial dimensions are certain, therefore we can't observe extra dimensions. 3 spatial dimensions commute, extra dimensions don't.

  • While religion clearly says about the evolution of sensory organs and thus the evolution of organisms, science failed to explain evolution properly. Darwin's evolution talks about the evolution of one species totally changing into another like ape to human. In reality, there no proof and no witness for it. Well you can leave a domestic animal in the wild and see it adapting to the wild life but is there a proof of one species of animal changing into another?NO! how is science's evolution valid?

  • @kriscool001 It's very valid and perfectly understood. If you put down your bible and picked up a basic biology textbook, then you would understand. Darwins INITIAL theory had some holes in it, mainly because he didn't have the scientific tools that we have now. Nowadays, the only people that don't believe in evolution are fanatics, idiots and politicians. Which one are you?

    Also, would you like a video of human evolution? It doesn't exist, there were no video cameras back then.

  • @kriscool001 Err, I think you need a biology book shoved up your ass and then another book explaining DNA shoved up your throat, and good slap to the head with the string theory. The ability to understand even the number one is an amazing feat, that would indicate intelligence, and nature can obviously produce something to understand itself. And of course God would be off by 1 642 500 000 000 days off of the time he's giving just to piss us off. just shut up -.-

  • @SorryStamin I don't really like replying to dumb heads like you but since I'm a good person would give you a chance once more; if you shove some of the religious text in your unused brain you will understand that your big bang to string theory to quantum theories were all hi-jacked from pure religious texts. If you have some patience try to read Rig veda, Aitareya & Taittiriya upanishad, Vishnu purana, Satapatha Brahmana, Brahma samhita, Srimat Bhagavatam etc.

  • @kriscool001 Ok, before I read these. Which religion/religions? How accurate? Have you read any arguments?

    And I can say for certain the big bang theory was not as Einstein had to go through a great deal of trouble convincing the scientific community as they had thought the universe just always was. Also, Einstein was agnostic or atheist I believe.

  • @SorryStamin These are from Vedic tradition/hinduism.

    Truth is sometimes hard to believe. Einstein also has a back ground of vedic education. Even today, children in Austria get to learn sanskrit texts. This idea of 'big bang' came from spiritual texts where it explains the ultimate as that which existed alone as a big golden egg which exploded to manifest itself into different forms to experience its own nature.

  • @kriscool001 The universe did not manifest to come to know itself, as, unless it had a form of consciousness before the big bang, which I would also refute as it would not have been able to affect the universe of today. And as I have not read any of the manuscripts, are you sure it did not mean hatch? and maybe a translation error as I cannot read the writings in the original language.

  • Mr. Dawkins,I don't mean religion is everything but you have to atleast have an open mind and research why all the religions say the same thing.Today's bible already lost its true essence after being constantly refined over a number of centuries.I don't like to stress to much on religion because a person who truely understands God knows that religion is only a first step to understanding god or even to know that a creator exist.The lack of which may lead to lack of discipline in civilization.

  • Mr. Dawkins, to tell the truth, the story of evolution in science originated from spiritual books. Man is not that too intelligent that he thinks he is.The creation story is not in one religious text but in several.In eastern tradition, creation clearly talks about the evolution of organisms' senses one by one. Even the creation story in bible means the 6 days as the number of days in God's understanding which is millions of years and does not mean the 6 days of human's time with 24hrs a day.

  • So funny to see these physicists keep changing their definition about a single theory called big bang, keep on refining it and making it a constant variable. Can't explain what was before big bang...yeah yeah yeah big bang is an interesting event to imagine in the realm of science and fiction which to-date has no proof.

  • @kriscool001 Give me proof of god you religious zealot. Once you give me REAL proof of god, I will give you DISPROOF. However, you MUST give me REAL proof that god exists. I dare you, you crazy, moronic, brainwashed, simpleton.

  • In reality, science is delusional where Mr. Dawkins himself is an optical illusion. He is only a collection of sub-atomic particles. 

  • @kriscool001 Science is delusional? Wow you must be totally out of your mind or you must not know how science works. My bet is that you're crazy AND you don't know how science works. When I say science, I mean the collection of evidence to support an idea. Evolution has MASSIVE amounts of evidence in its FAVOR, but absolutely ZEO evidence in contraction of. The only things that contradict evidence is crazy, retarded, fanatical, religious fools.

  • Richard are you ready to debut with an Indian Yogi? I know you are reading this. Are you ready for your final debut which will disprove your 'God Delusion' theory for ever?

  • @kriscool001 Yea man, he hangs onto your every word. He reads EVERY youtube comment on EVERY video his foundation posts. He is probably writing a book to shut you up.

  • @CaptHandsome42 you might be right, he is probably writing "God Delusion - Part 2"!

  • complex stuff

  • this is excellent!!!!

  • Very interessting video!!!

  • 110 dislike this video because of the pointless, annoying music.

  • basically this is what he says multiple times through his video...

    If you take (A) and believe it as a truth ignoring that we have no scientific data to prove it and it seems illogical based on current scientific data then we can look at solving and proving (B) based on (A) being true and therefore (B) would prove current data wrong.

    (A)= If ice cream melted faster in the cold

    (B)= it would be better to store it in heat to prevent it from melting

    (A) is wrong but based on (A), (B) is right.

  • @elemenst88 Not quite; this is the same methodology behind Einstein's Special Relativity, a now widely accepted theory by scientists, which is based on the presupposition of the speed of light being a constant. Even if we were to find a greater universal speed limit, useful information has still been accrued through this 'faith-based' assumption, such as mass and energy equivalence. Hyper-dimentional space has the mathematics to support its hypothesis, and in due time it may be testable.

  • @phatphace Special Relativity is more than widely accepted...it mathematically explains how much of the Universe and light works. It is beyond accepted...it m
