I seriously think that religion and science can be both on the same boat. BUT, this is true, as long as there is some common sense and intelligence in the discussion. I really don't understand how supposedly intelligent people start making agressive statements about each other...let there be some respect. Although I believe in God and don't believe in string theory, I think it is perfectly conceivable.
Only way to avoid it is to lock comments. The religious dolts are everywhere and will always jump at stuff like this. It's simply human nature for many folk that cannot buy the fact that we're not meant for anything and that there is nothing else beyond this life (for us). A sad, selfish bunch that have held back man for eons. One day they will be stifled and any utterance of such nonsense will be outlawed. I look forward to that day.
The silly thing is that even if science found a theory to everything, it wouldn't necessarily disprove religion. Why attack the scientific method that explains "how" when the theist could always just fall back on the "why"?
Science does require time to learn. We humans need time to understand the concept behind the science already around us. Religion is only the answer to how this impeccable implementation of this science came into existence. Religion does NOT deny the existence of it. My reply to the comment "that there is a god in everyone of us" explain how such
Science behind perfectionism of this universe? Obviously there is and this science implemented by God for what we are today. Ask yourself, although it may seem too spiritual think about it . To what extent can such processes as precise as they are, can occur without the involvement of a higher power? A god in everyone of us? Scientists have yet to completely understand the intricate structure of our brain. How godly can we be when our when our own body remains marvel to us?
Religion is for people who have a united faith in a single creator without whom the perfection of this universe would not be possible. I'm a Muslim and marvel at the discoveries of science but the fact remains that science fails to explain or only presume what tends to be out of their grasp
@apmlifiedpunk I think this is out of your grasp, this explains WHY we have united faith.. this is science behind your religion and you don't even know it. god is everyone. isn't that the idea?
@apmlifiedpunk So you deny science the time required to learn more about our origins yet religion had how much time to solidify/mold people into what religion was created on in the first place, which was control of a populace but nevermind that for now. Religion is already on the decline around the planet and it has been around for a much, MUCH greater amount of time in comparison. Science needs more time.. maybe much more. But I am certain it will break this "code".

Every single space video on youtube, without exception, has a comments section littered with tired, irrelevant, annoying and repetitive arguments about religion.
@kramnodd12 dude i was just thinking that when i read it haha. Religion even managed to annoy me on another level! It is simply wasting intellectuals time who find it important to attack. It is important to attack for social reasons, but its seriously a waste of time trying to attack it philosophically... its not real philosophy anyway!
@MichaelMellijor No, actually science says the odds of there being a creator are about as high as of there being none. However, it also says that it is highly unlikely that if there is one, it is of a form that we could even understand.
If science WAS shoved down throats, I wouldn't have met anyone after primary school, in the middle of Europe, who believed in the geocentric model. IMO, if something should be "shoved down throats", it's general philosophy.
Hate how in this country all education below university includes "religion". Which is exactly, always and only christianity. And obligatory. While things like objective ethics are just thrown out of the program, because really, who cares?...
Well we can simply dismiss the idea and say, "God created it all!". But that's not the way science works. As scientists, we want to know the truth, we want to know how the world works.. Even if there was a creator, we want to know exactly how he had created the universe.. Or if there is not, we want to know how it all began.. We thirst for knowledge because we know that it is this that will ultimately give us the upper hand..
I wonder how M-Theory can unify E(8)xE(8) class with all the other classes of strings. Also how Calibi-Yau manifolds will behave in this duality. hmm.
When I first read this book at 13 years old, my mind was blown and I fell in love with this stuff. I'm now 19 and studying physics in college. This is absolutely amazing.
I don't believe the bible to be an accurate description of creation. It is however the best description of very ancient human history that is available. Now the existence of a creator can never be proven nor dis-proven. For myself I believe there was a creator that set up the conditions leading to the Big Bang and those condition allowed for the evolution of a species like us.
I'm sorry, but that opening segment with the enthralled-sounding announcer was annoying as hell. Greene himself is great, but that crap is why I don't watch TV anymore.
i think the universe is gods body in i think heaven is outside his body kind of like the heart is and are body in people are outside are body so yea it could be true
in general i have no problem accepting religion and science together, but the disgraceful crimes that christianity and islam jusitfy between them both, I do have a problem with
Im pretty sure you are an educated person but arent these just theories? okay so dont go around bashing every christian you come into contact with. im just saying its just as annoying as someone constantly pressing religion on you. and i know you think you are smarter than anyone who contests your THEORIES, maybe wear black rim glasses and a couple tats but still weak as fuck
The problem here is that String Theory is the only Theory that is in Scientific "Limbo" so to say.
For the rest of Theories in Science, it comes down to evidence and the conclusions we can draw from it - not proof (as in Mathematically Definite). String Theory is the only Theory that is 100% mathematically definite - but can never have any evidence gathered for it. :|
Why is it that people have such a hard time accepting both religion and science? One does not disprove the other. Just because scientists may be figuring out the ultimate structure of the universe it does not disprove the existence of a creator that initiated the process or constructed physical laws. Maybe string theory will unify science and religion the way scientists are trying to unify relativity and quantum mechanics. Keep an open mind knuckleheads.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@kaypee1985 fuck it being about a philosophy...religion cannot be denied because it is why we are here...religion and science are connected and science exists because of god...therefor the two are connected together...not fighting like how the world wants them to be.......religion should be forced down your throat just as science is justified in being forced down the throat....open up ur mind and try to understand
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@kaypee1985 it doesnt matter if its christianity or not...the religion itself doesnt matter...the fact is, that something spiritual or beyond us exists....and it is the reason that science, physics and math are even here...bottom line......relying on science without religion is like the creation spitting on his creator after hes been born and forgetting all about how the hell he even got here in the first place.....get what im saying?
1) You assume that you were created. Many "religions" out there talk about manifestation instead of creation.
2) Science never said that there is nothing beyond us, I never said either. In fact personally I believe that there is definitely something/one beyond us. But that does mean that I subscribe to any religion.
@kaypee1985 you dont have to suscribe to any religion, but you do have to suscribe to the fact that there is a god out there.....god is religion...so thats y i say religion.......god and science coexists...god created everything, therefore he created science...so all u science buffs out there stop brushing god off to the side because u think you have your science....when god is the one who put it there!!
@dlawso77 God and Science might co-exist in your head but that doesn't mean there is any reason for anyone else to believe that a "god" exists. There is no proof of god and infantile minds will continue to try and push their beliefs with no evidence. Religion holds back humanity I hope it diminishes during my lifetime to a tiny speck and science can continue its discoveries uninterrupted.
@ExplodeDeath i completely feel what you're saying. yes ur rite there is no actual physical proof that god does exist and we believers in god know this but we actually leave the hope and at least the chance that a god does exist, its just that we believe in it so hard and that all of the wonders of the universe are just so many that its like to us, religious folk, there almost has to be a god. i mean how the fuck else did all this universe shit just finally, suddenly happen to come into play?
@ExplodeDeath but then the science people, act like "oh theres absolutely no possibility of a god" like they know for sure or something, and thats where the big clash between science and religion come from
@dlawso77 right i really have to point out this one thing. The bible does not give an explenation of how the world was created. At all. why? simple. Genesis gives 2 stories of how the earth was created, ergo they were trying to tell us something different then the 'scientific' way. Besides, god in the bible stands for love, it s just that simple. If you are a songwriter with no inspiration. Go to the psalmes and replace god with baby or darling or honey and you have yourself a superb lovesong.
I completely agree with you. Just because the scientists cannot prove the existence of God doesn't believe that he doesn't exist. I'm a Christian. I completely believe in God and i love science. I wish everyone could be like that.
@BradiKal61 Your right. No one knows the extent of the design of the universe. The best answer to a question you don't know is not "God's way is the only way" but "I don't know but lets find out." That's exactly why no one needs religion pushed on them. Thanks a lot for posting!
@BradiKal61 Science a collection of information from tests that help us explain the physical world around us. Religion is a mental construct that an individual uses to view the world around them. You are correct that one does not necessarily need to be exclusive of the other. But they are completely different. This is because religion is a mental construct, a thought, and cannot be tested. It has no physicality to it.
@BradiKal61 I was catholic and then at some point I was an atheist and now I'm an agnostic. Humans cannot know with absolute certainty if a god does or does not exist. In some ways, quantum mechanics could be the language of 'god'. 'He' would be able to know both the position and velocity of each particle with great accuracy if he's on the outside of the universe.
@BradiKal61 The biggest reason scientists cannot usually accept religion, is because scientists work off of being able to prove things. Not disprove them. If there is not a way to prove something exists, most will not accept its existence. Religion in a lot of peoples eyes is a blindly following faith. Simply believeing in it to have something to hold onto to prove things they themselves cannot prove. Scientists figure they should be able to prove anything to believe in it, not blindly follow.
@BradiKal61 There's only a problem when the creator of the universe is perceived in the form of a man with emotions. Men are animals. I doubt the creator a savage nor a hipocrite but the idea of a "creator" of the universe beyond our comprehension is more understanding.
@BradiKal61 Real Scientists will acknowledge there is no room for religion in Science. Religion's foundation lies in the realm of superstition. There is no evidence that an anthropomorphic god created the Universe, on the contrary, more evidence we created him. No Evidence for the eternal soul, or an afterlife either. To search for such is to practice science with bias, and is not valid science. It's called "Conformational Bias." I'd rather take the humble approach, say we lack the intellect.
@BradiKal61 completely agree with wat ur saying...religion and science are tied together...without religion there would be no science....it doesnt have to be a battle between the two like other people like to make it....they are both interconnected
@BradiKal61 Science can disprove many of the assertions of religion... Noah's flood, Creationism, etc. If there is an impersonal supreme intelligence then we'll discover it with earnest enquiry, but not if we are bound by primitive attempts at understanding the universe. Another problem is that laws; shariah, outlawing gay marriages, etc are inspired and justified by religious faith. I think it deserves to be challenged, because many human being suffer as a result. My 2 cents.
True. But I was talking about BOTH sides of the argument, from both the scientific and religious perspectives. People can work on their own side of the question without necessarily needing to disprove the other. Did some entity use "strings" to build the universe in a manner indistinguishable from the universe evolving without conscious control? Who knows?
@BradiKal61 Omg thank you thank you thank you... someone who realises that one does not factually cancel out the other! and there I was thinking to myself ohh no I'm probably an idiot just because I don't buy either one of those things as if It were the same as choosing a car! Thank you again! Made my night.
Hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I detect bible thumpers in here.....They condem religion for not being scientific, yet the only thing they have are theories. Ironic isn't it. ....lolz...religion ISN'T scientific....you call the general theory of relativity just a 'theory'? Maybe you are using your terms wrong, i don't know.
@nextHeritage Yea, lots of hypocracy but what can you do? Science and Religion fit perfectly well together in my eyes, i don't see why people have to choose between either and then criticize the other.
I like how the description bashes on religion when one of the greatest Physicists, Albert Einstein, was very religious. So he's basically saying Einstein can't handle the information he put out?
Anyway it's not about religion, it's about physics, thanks for uploading these videos!
M-theory is the way to go! It's Science and it has more logic behind it. The multi-verse is pure energy! At least they can test it mathematically and experimentally with the LHC and what not. Whereas god cannot be proved whatsoever!
The quantum mechanical forces are stronger because they are caused by warps and curves in the 11th dimension of M-THEORY! It all fits. The theoretical physicists of M-THEORY claims that the parallel membranes within the 11th dimension have to ripple. These ripples are the warps and curves within the 11th dimension which is why they have a stronger effect on us and why we have matter and the universe itself from the collision of the parallel membranes i.e. the big bang.
I feel like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole when i watch videos about M-theory and string theory. I've chosen the red pill; unlike the rest of society who has taken the blue pill and is too busy with their lives on Earth.
EVERYONE! Just skip to 4:50 to start the actual documentary. This doesn't need major editing - this is how it aired on TV in 2003. And I love NOVA logos.
just consider this these advance minds are overseeing the destruction of of our home planet but is OK if you destroy the planet on this universe we have another 10 parallel universes to go to we get to do over.
science is the religion of man the attempt of man to elevate himself to Godhood. and these scientists consider the idea of creation ludicrous this string theory just shows how ignorant scientists are and how preposterous "evolution" really is.
@Vmartin70EZ no you dickhead. The great thing about science is, its not preeched to you from birth teaching you to ignore all reason. Science is learned, studied, and nothing is believed until tested and confirmed. I dont care if your religious. Thats fine, but when you try and compare science which can be explained, to your religion, which in all history has never produced a shred of proof or fact to this day, your so far off the mark its embarressing.
@Vmartin70EZ you aint to inteligent are ya.... Ignorance has many forms... One form is taken, when someone dismisses ideas offhand because they can't accept that they are following other doctrines blindly... Your ignorance is scary it hampers our ability as a whole society as you preach your ignorance as fact... Science preaches proof over doctrine everytime... without theorys such as this we would all still be in the dark ages, delusional religious nuts like you would still be burning witches..
@Vmartin70EZ Yeah, you're right. Let's go back to the 5th century. We don't need this stupid science stuff. We don't need medicine or technology. We'll just pray to "god" to help us out. After all, he/she/it has been doing such a wonderful job for millenia-NOT.
okay so physicists have discovered molecules, then they discovered atoms, and within an atom they discovered a nuclei with nucleons i.e. protons and neutrons inside the nuclear shell and electrons orbiting this shell. inside protons and neutrons, they've discovered other particles including quarks. and now they're suggesting these quarks and everything in this universe is comprised of extremely tiny vibrating strings. here's the ultimate question: HOW FAR DOWN DOES THE RABBIT HOLE GO?
@jasonfish07 maybe nothing exists at all. maybe our consciousness is what drives the universe and hence everything else that we can sense with our five senses. it might be a radical notion but how far down does the rabbit hole really go?
@FallofDarkness55 Even in the context of String Theory, quarks are thought to be elementary particles. Don't think of a quark as being "made of" strings, but as *being* a string, with a particular tension, vibration, etc. It's just a different, perhaps more useful way of viewing the same thing. i.e., we may well have reached the bottom of the rabbit hole. In the 1800s, we thought we were there with atoms. Turned out there was more. But we're really only 1 to 2 levels down from that today.
And how is this rubbish any different from religion?
There is no evidence for any of this, it is pure speculation and philosophy, metaphysics.
Real science is that which can be tested and experimented with.
To say there "might be" parallel universes is the same as saying "there might be" green invisible gremlins on the dark side of the moon, it would be just as educationaly backward.
Sure, but you have to wonder if religions are not created the same way.
For instance consider the idea there is infinite universes for a moment, well then what religions say about an "immortal soul" would infact be true, i'd be immortal, i cannot die if i am always going to exist somewhere in the universe.
You may say "well its not the same without the memory"
But that means you define living (life) by memory.
@MDEMONIC689 i agree that that is how religion may have been made....along with language, laws, and other fundamentals of life. when u say "what religions says, it leads me to believe that you are speaking on behave of all religions. something tells me that you have not studied every religion; however, nor have i. and there is a vast difference between an immortal soul and human immortality.
Well, i'll put religion to one side because really people can believe what they want, so long as they don't turn it into political policy or have influence over political policy.
The main point is: are some of these theories science?
I would argue that many of these ideas really are metaphysics and philosophy, rather than something that can be tested objectively.
Also is there a practical purpose?
Theres nothing wrong with philosophy, but i think it is different from science.
@MDEMONIC689 Well i can completely relate to you on that part, regarding metaphysics. I've often wondered what would come if we were to discover the existence of strings and whatnot.
As of yet, 11 dimensions and parallel universes are just theories. It is extremely difficult to test something like that. The difference between this and philosophy, for example, is that it does make (theoretically) testable predictions. The reason they are theories is because we see all of these phenomena going on in the universe and use math to explain them. These are the only way to reconcile the math and the effects. And so far, it works.
Saying something can be" tested in theory" is the same as saying something like: "there is a button somewhere and if i push it i'll get the answer, but i don't know if the button exists or not yet, or do i know the location"
When physics speaks of "looking for the holy grail" i sometimes think they mean it in an almost litteral sense.
@MDEMONIC689 True, but just look at the theory of general relativity. Its still called a theory, not because it hasn't been proven, or that its just speculation, but because there is no better explanation, yet. String theory is trying to be that better explanation. People don't just "come up" with these ideas randomely. There is a lot of math behind it.
Well i can't possibly understand the math, if it is gibberish to me i have to ignore it until their math provides something tangible, something objective.
This could be seen as an admition of failure on my part, but really it's that nobody in their right mind would just "take someones word for it"
It might all add up if the things you add together are all acute ideas of the mind.
A lot of arcane trickery can be (and is) done with numbers.
@bboyloco3 thats funny because just a few days ago me and my friends played the "in another universe" game for almost half an hour. I believe the craziest one was, "In another universe, Elvis and Chuck Norris flew into the sun on the back of a unicorn while playing the ukulele and doing the macarena while covered in wet paint and chicken feathers."
thanks a million for these special uploads. i knew these videos sounded familiar because i recently checked out a book from the library called the elegant universe by Brian Greene. the cover of the book says it's also a major nova special on pbs and i came across this fantastic nova special here on youtube. again thanks for the upload. you rock.
REAL Free energy technology exists!But the Establishment doesn't want ppl to know this,Get the blueprints for a real Magnet motor free enegy machine at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Let the revolution begin!
I couldn't get through the intro.. too much like a home shopping commercial selling me crap. String theory makes the universe just as "amazing" as scratch proof fire resistant car wax...and that narrator can shove it all up his arse for what I care.
@ratje67 , and engineers use the "amazing" stuff these guys come up with to do pretty awesome things. Granted, right now these things may seem useless, but Boolean algebra probably looked completely retarded well over 100 years ago when the guy came up with it. Why would you even need binary math?

@kramnodd12 dude i was just thinking that when i read it haha. Religion even managed to annoy me on another level! It is simply wasting intellectuals time who find it important to attack. It is important to attack for social reasons, but its seriously a waste of time trying to attack it philosophically... its not real philosophy anyway!

@MichaelMellijor No, actually science says the odds of there being a creator are about as high as of there being none. However, it also says that it is highly unlikely that if there is one, it is of a form that we could even understand.

If science WAS shoved down throats, I wouldn't have met anyone after primary school, in the middle of Europe, who believed in the geocentric model. IMO, if something should be "shoved down throats", it's general philosophy.
Hate how in this country all education below university includes "religion". Which is exactly, always and only christianity. And obligatory. While things like objective ethics are just thrown out of the program, because really, who cares?...

Well we can simply dismiss the idea and say, "God created it all!". But that's not the way science works. As scientists, we want to know the truth, we want to know how the world works.. Even if there was a creator, we want to know exactly how he had created the universe.. Or if there is not, we want to know how it all began.. We thirst for knowledge because we know that it is this that will ultimately give us the upper hand..

I don't believe the bible to be an accurate description of creation. It is however the best description of very ancient human history that is available. Now the existence of a creator can never be proven nor dis-proven. For myself I believe there was a creator that set up the conditions leading to the Big Bang and those condition allowed for the evolution of a species like us.

The problem here is that String Theory is the only Theory that is in Scientific "Limbo" so to say.
For the rest of Theories in Science, it comes down to evidence and the conclusions we can draw from it - not proof (as in Mathematically Definite). String Theory is the only Theory that is 100% mathematically definite - but can never have any evidence gathered for it. :|

Why is it that people have such a hard time accepting both religion and science? One does not disprove the other. Just because scientists may be figuring out the ultimate structure of the universe it does not disprove the existence of a creator that initiated the process or constructed physical laws. Maybe string theory will unify science and religion the way scientists are trying to unify relativity and quantum mechanics. Keep an open mind knuckleheads.

@BradiKal61 The biggest reason scientists cannot usually accept religion, is because scientists work off of being able to prove things. Not disprove them. If there is not a way to prove something exists, most will not accept its existence. Religion in a lot of peoples eyes is a blindly following faith. Simply believeing in it to have something to hold onto to prove things they themselves cannot prove. Scientists figure they should be able to prove anything to believe in it, not blindly follow.

@BradiKal61 Real Scientists will acknowledge there is no room for religion in Science. Religion's foundation lies in the realm of superstition. There is no evidence that an anthropomorphic god created the Universe, on the contrary, more evidence we created him. No Evidence for the eternal soul, or an afterlife either. To search for such is to practice science with bias, and is not valid science. It's called "Conformational Bias." I'd rather take the humble approach, say we lack the intellect.

@BradiKal61 Science can disprove many of the assertions of religion... Noah's flood, Creationism, etc. If there is an impersonal supreme intelligence then we'll discover it with earnest enquiry, but not if we are bound by primitive attempts at understanding the universe. Another problem is that laws; shariah, outlawing gay marriages, etc are inspired and justified by religious faith. I think it deserves to be challenged, because many human being suffer as a result. My 2 cents.

The quantum mechanical forces are stronger because they are caused by warps and curves in the 11th dimension of M-THEORY! It all fits. The theoretical physicists of M-THEORY claims that the parallel membranes within the 11th dimension have to ripple. These ripples are the warps and curves within the 11th dimension which is why they have a stronger effect on us and why we have matter and the universe itself from the collision of the parallel membranes i.e. the big bang.

FallofDarkness55 1 year ago
@FallofDarkness55 Even in the context of String Theory, quarks are thought to be elementary particles. Don't think of a quark as being "made of" strings, but as *being* a string, with a particular tension, vibration, etc. It's just a different, perhaps more useful way of viewing the same thing. i.e., we may well have reached the bottom of the rabbit hole. In the 1800s, we thought we were there with atoms. Turned out there was more. But we're really only 1 to 2 levels down from that today.

There is no evidence for any of this, it is pure speculation and philosophy, metaphysics.

@gleetron
"by people having an idea and expanding upon it"
Sure, but you have to wonder if religions are not created the same way.
For instance consider the idea there is infinite universes for a moment, well then what religions say about an "immortal soul" would infact be true, i'd be immortal, i cannot die if i am always going to exist somewhere in the universe.
You may say "well its not the same without the memory"
But that means you define living (life) by memory.

@MDEMONIC689 i agree that that is how religion may have been made....along with language, laws, and other fundamentals of life. when u say "what religions says, it leads me to believe that you are speaking on behave of all religions. something tells me that you have not studied every religion; however, nor have i. and there is a vast difference between an immortal soul and human immortality.
gleetron 1 year ago
@gleetron
Well, i'll put religion to one side because really people can believe what they want, so long as they don't turn it into political policy or have influence over political policy.
The main point is: are some of these theories science?
I would argue that many of these ideas really are metaphysics and philosophy, rather than something that can be tested objectively.
Also is there a practical purpose?
Theres nothing wrong with philosophy, but i think it is different from science.
MDEMONIC689 1 year ago
@MDEMONIC689 Well i can completely relate to you on that part, regarding metaphysics. I've often wondered what would come if we were to discover the existence of strings and whatnot.
gleetron 1 year ago
@MDEMONIC689
As of yet, 11 dimensions and parallel universes are just theories. It is extremely difficult to test something like that. The difference between this and philosophy, for example, is that it does make (theoretically) testable predictions. The reason they are theories is because we see all of these phenomena going on in the universe and use math to explain them. These are the only way to reconcile the math and the effects. And so far, it works.
dsh1224 1 year ago
@dsh1224
Key word in front of testable is "theoretically".
Saying something can be" tested in theory" is the same as saying something like: "there is a button somewhere and if i push it i'll get the answer, but i don't know if the button exists or not yet, or do i know the location"
When physics speaks of "looking for the holy grail" i sometimes think they mean it in an almost litteral sense.
MDEMONIC689 1 year ago
@MDEMONIC689 True, but just look at the theory of general relativity. Its still called a theory, not because it hasn't been proven, or that its just speculation, but because there is no better explanation, yet. String theory is trying to be that better explanation. People don't just "come up" with these ideas randomely. There is a lot of math behind it.
