  • 5:58 lol the FACT

  • Islam honors knowledge and learned people. Throughout its history and the golden age of discovery and inventions, there is no history of persecution against the search for knowledge by Muslims. Only today when Muslims are leaderless do we hear of such animosity against new ideas and findings amongst Muslims.

  • To me life is every where on earth big and micro small now imagine the universe and multiverse life is infinite and thats common sense to me and I am just an open minded person who was not good at all in school but my mind was always open to anything because I was so CURIOUS about everything like the earth core is made up of and the suns core is made up of they are just guessing they have never been .They are just working on what they know from different compounds..everything is kepts secret.

  • Sometimes I think the secret societies have a point like imagine if you are a brillant mind and you are let lose with no objectivies from other with an unlimited budget ect thats why I think some of these secrets societies exist to open new science . But like all mankind and religion and professors they point and dont like to be wrong an example of this is the pyramids they refuse to believe that aliens built them no no its man made and we are the only ones in the universes..how dumb is that.

  • Im not a scientist but I dont understand the attack on these scientist. They obviously were ahead of their peers in the manner they thought and the others just couldnt comprehend it.

  • @mlp633 because ignorance is bliss.

  • This just proves that even geniuses are shit throwing chimps. How many great people were ridiculed and attacked in their lifetimes, only to be shown to be correct after time passes. What a shame. This is why I am an anarchist and despise the concept of peers. I have no peers.

  • @baalisgod666 Bravo!

  • @baalisgod666 or you can learn from the past to better the ideals of that emerge in the present instead of destroying hope for the future through anarchy . . .

  • If only science was mature enough to ask precognition for the answer. predetermination is highly probable, it takes one with the sight to have rare empowerments of maniphastations outside of predeterminations. The only thing that must be defined thru the eyes of a precog is that what we see in dreams commonly predetermined? Or that what we are not viewing may be maniphested or predetermind? Or is this window into the future a chance at maniphestation in a sea of predetermination?

  • So, whatever led Heisenberg to propose the theory of quantum mechanics, he was at odds with Einstein.

  • Albert Einstein never appreciated the use of probability in Physics. So, he was saddened by the development of quantum physics.

  • i hate this bbc and discovery shows witch have 10 minutes of content streatch to a borring hour

  • I don't get the dancing part and the talking part ,dancing part is irrelevant to the subject itself!

  • @xxmisaxx8 the dancing part illustrates the social class pure and simple.

  • Beware of conventional wisdom - it is merely a body of aggregated prejudice. Question everything.

    State your truth.

  • Boltzmann thought that a spontaneous entropy decrease in some kind of media, perhaps a cold thin gas, could have created the universe. Such a hypothesis would explain why the entropy in the universe is increasing, because after such a entropy decrease, the entropy would start to increase again. This was a radical idea at the time, and a brilliant but wrong guess.

  • If your going to watch this pay attention if you don't post stupid shit on it.

  • @chino5710

    Your idea of stupid may not be stupid at all. Be respectful of other people's ideas, please.

  • there are plenty of good super sayans out there.so be nice please ;) we can all work together

  • Comment removed

  • nobody knows what "God" wants...the idea of a higher power is an illusion in itself until the day the deity himself comes to you and gives you the truths of reality...not man's idea of reality

  • @brsbillion

    I don't agree. Whatever is presented to us, nothing conflicts with the idea of a creator. Not to me, anyway. Though I respect your view.

  • @trakomako u should not be allowed to reproduce...

  • The things of God are certain. Science shows that the world around us is probabilities. Why do you have to think that since the world around us is uncertain, so is God?

  • ignorance is bliss... bass in the bliss

  • @appletisha27 that's what idiots say to justify remaining stupid.

  • @pwnageAAXAApker too bad your so critical... that you cant just pass up my stupid comment...

  • This guy saying "maths" instead of math is annoying lol

  • @BilltheRedMufasa its a british thing

  • Why do religious people always have to spoil things?

  • @tjxkid It's not "religious people" in genera. Just close-minded people that might or might not be religious. Religion is then only an excuse.

  • @tjxkid Because-- they give up on actually trying to understand anything-- and are just-- content.

  • @tjxkid Oh please. The more I read these comments, and the more I watch this series, the more I cringe at the utter mindless emotionalized stupidity, and the nauseating mutual admiration society you like to imagine you're part of, those poor persecuted geniuses of history who are somehow the Real Deal(tm) of history. You're parroting sophists, and so are these BBC opinion-molding numskulls. Any real understanding of history, philosophy, and natural science will known the nuance and the...

  • @tjxkid complexity of things is richer here. Science under religious thought was not rigid by virtue of religion. This fallacious marriage of naturalistic/social certainty and predictability, and religion, contradicts what St. Augustine states about the permanence of only the "City of God" and not the cities of Man. It boggles the mind. Science under religious thought, if genuine, was focused on the truth, and not predictability and control of nature, which is a later, atheistic move. Without...

  • @tjxkid God, what does man do? He tries to find certainty elsewhere; he transfers it onto something else. Nietzsche calls truth an idiot that will eventually die eventually as the Death of God is more fully realized in the minds of men. Just look around us, and how science today is a paper tiger of mangled ideas, mere pragmatic usefulness, and a social club (Postmodernism? The academic paper count fetish?). Also, the Brits did not first crack Enigma. You can thank the Poles for that.

  • @crewalpha kid shut up

  • 2:49 My God, that is some scary pair of eyes !

  • I usually like BBC documentaries, but this one is just BS... Probably the most boring documentary ever made...

  • A true god would encourage the seeking of truth. I do not believe in mankind's gods. I listen to the spirit in my heart and embrace creativity.

  • Instead of coming to the conclusion that God was wrong there is disorderly order why not conclude that they were wrong about God?

  • someone ALWAYS have to be s.t.s -ahead of their time...otherwise evolution does not happen.. Whatever caveman once upon a time could make the first fire, was well ahead of his -time-..

  • wow this guy is truly a fucking beast!

  • @mrwhoisthat: An der schönen blauen Donau

  • I can't imagine the weight these great thinkers carried.

  • Which is the waltz in the beginning?

  • This documentary is marvelous :-D

  • this presenter is a poes

  • beaulieu4008 .

    While l respect your point of view,l feel that the matter is one step more fundemental than that. Fear is the root of all problems,fear of not getting something,fear of losing something.

    The list is endless but the principal is the same.

    Fear seems to goven all of our actions

  • S = k . log w = MATT DAAAAMON

  • where does truth lie, in the big or the small? on one hand you have boltsman's work on the atoms and the small and then kantor on the big and the infinity, so where is the answers? in the larger or smaller? or is the answers spread out across the large, small and here? Yet all answers are created for e.g. the answer of 1+1 = X and X is 2 which is bigger than 1 thus it comes from the larger yet 1-1= X and X is 0 which is smaller so where is certain answers? there probably is no certainty in that

  • @deanmullen10 . I dont get it. 1+1=2 and 1-1=0. 2 is bigger than 1, and 1 is bigger than 0. Theyre both correct. Whers the uncertainty? If you say 1+1=X and 1-1=Y, maybe itll be more clear.

  • @rockytotherescue what I mean is where does truth emanate from? the quantum level up or the infinite leve down? in my opinion it just exists everywhere and has no definitive whereabouts.

  • @deanmullen10 Yes but the truth is in all. This is nature. It may seem weird to us because of what we are used to in everyday life but it shouldnt be. Its just nature.

  • thumbs up if your like me, boltsman, and cantor that you come up with an idea and the rest of the world presumes its wrong because they don't understand it and you feel your lost in a world of stupidity and presumption wishing you were living in the future where people are more up and complex.

  • Why assume that God's reality wouldn't embrace randomness. I'd expect God to be able to cope with random events and probablity. They'd "probably" have recreational value when everything else is ordered and predictable. Don't want God to ge bored, God knows what he do!

  • The problem people need to realize is that the truth is never comforting. It is always unsettling and always strikes a nerve. There is a good chance that if something is comforting it is a lie, or it is temporary. Atleast that is the way I see it.  To those who keep mentioning God, God is a dream and a idea created by man. Just like World Peace, Utopia, Heaven, ect. They are all ideals which are impractical in reality. Lay them to rest.

  • Are people still talking about 'God'

  • You are both missing the point, God is literally the universe. They both mean the same thing. Science, religion and mathematics are different languages that describe the same thing.

  • @ThelastPantheist there is and will be a great and long hope for some or many people, longing for things or activities like science and religion to reconcile to each other and to themselves, but the reality is far from hope and certainty, that there will be present and future times of hopelessness, neglect and chaos ensued...

  • Got is spirit and matter At once. for now and always. not only in all, but made of all.

    if the spirit cause a body what a marvel, if the body a spirit a marvel of marvels.

  • 5:51 I see Joy in the clouds?

  • "the equation that killed him"?? reminds me of monty python's deadly joke.

  • They need to change the title of this from "Dangerous Minds" to "Society is Retarded and Completely Incapable of Accepting New Ideas"

  • Let God be God; if we try to fathom Him, which we cannot, insanity is the result.

  • 'GOD' doesn't exist. Greatest Orchestrated Deception. (Me 2010)

  • @jumpupdnbdj so you're saying the 'great orchestrated deception' doesnt exist?

  • @jumpupdnbdj

    wrong

  • That guy from Vienna thinks it can last forever

    What is forever??? maybe he would've sat down and drank tea with these mathematicians

  • Mathematics is the calculation of existence and there is nothing infinite in this universe it just human capabilities to put things into finite and infinite. We can calculate the exact amount of matter (Atoms) the amount of Energy ) time and space 7 everything among these. so there is no need to put an infinite sign into Mathematics and calculations.

  • @Badshahkhanisb Clearly you have never taken university level calculus. You need an infinity sign just to calculate the volume of a sphere.

  • @TheMerlinOfAR . Lolzz.. i m Ph.d.

    Actually u need a higher ( more then university and degree ) level to understand what i have said.

  • @Badshahkhanisb Bads that might very well be true, but could you be a little clearer. What is your PhD in? If its in math then I suppose you can tell me how the definite integral was originally defined?

  • @TheMerlinOfAR Quantum mechanics

  • @Badshahkhanisb haha yeah. I actually do have a bachelors in physics btw.

  • @TheMerlinOfAR but... you haven't mastered physics, you merely bachelor around with physics... a physics fiddler BWAAAhahahaha

  • @Badshahkhanisb but you write with so many mistakes... never had the time to learn?

  • @netonuno i like to learn .. that's y i m here .... u guys can help in this regard !!

  • Life is messy. The Bible tells us that. Prov 14: 4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

    

  • That the world resulted from the "random bumping of atoms" may have been a "radical" idea, but it wasn't new. It was a tenet of ancient Epicureanism. The Roman poet Lucretius described the idea in detail.

  • It is probability for us, but certainty for God.

  • The reason why humans are kept from knowing the Truth is because of other humans beings, not God. We fear persecution. It takes courage to stand up for what one believes. It requires courage and hard work to pursue something that might amount to nothing or worse self destruction. We crave approval from our peers and recognition. The problem is most people are ignorant and are happy to live that way.

  • @beaulieu4008 agreed and perfectly said.

  • @beaulieu4008 MAN does not prevent it, nor does GOD. Nothing can DIE for the un-utterable

  • @beaulieu4008 That's very very very very very very very true. I myself is a victim of this.

  • @beaulieu4008

    this explains as well the faith of all religions and the faith in god that comes from them. We try to live with the majority around us. That is why most Christians are living among other Christians, most Muslims are living among Muslims, and so on.

  • @Leopoldo30305 "Religion is an accident of geography."

    

  • @lormendi

    yeah. More or less. Most people feel pushed by the crowds and goes with the crowds. Very few people dare to challenge the general thinking. It even occurs in Science.

  • @Leopoldo30305

    its like retards living among other retards, it aint gonna help them.

  • @beaulieu4008 Why bother seeking approval from peers when they are backstabbing SAVAGES? The most brilliant people in history are attacked for their insights. Humanity is a monkey cage not worthy to receive higher knowledge from the wise men of science. It saddens me to see how low mankind is willing to go to destroy the people who only want to share advancements in ideas. I'm not a very smart person, but if I were a genius I'd keep it to myself. This world ruins visionaries. Screw humanity.

  • @mindstormsabrewin

    Human being isn't at it's best when someone differs from others. It seems we are social. Brilliance of an individual isn't necessary, just the ability to work as a group. We don't need higher knowledge to survive. The lesson here also is, a human mind can't really grasp the higher knowledge, has a tendency self destruct when facing a glimpse of truth. Most of us aren't smart, so even if someone brilliant solved everything, the rest of us still wouldn't benefit anything.

  • @Sethae I'm not trying to insult you but that sounds like the "hive" mentality there. "Brilliance of an individual isn't necessary" you say. Yet it's brilliant individuals that create the most useful things and ideas. You are reinforcing my original idea, that people who ARE brilliant have to contend with the hive mentality. They are knocked back down into the pit when they try to climb out. They are told their brilliance "isn't necessary". They are even punished for being different.

  • @mindstormsabrewin

    There's no insult. I'm approaching the thing from pragmatic perspective. Usefulness of things and ideas seem circular in thought - surrogate activity if you may. The way we tend to kick different people out from our midst is not. I think it's as basic as can be, and we can't get rid of it. The main point from me was, the mediocre majority of us, that make the world what it is, will keep the world mediocre. It's the megatrend of human evolution.

  • @mindstormsabrewin

    These people described here were not a product of an individualistic world. It was on the rise though, but these people were grown out of a world where there was not so huge emphasis on an individual. Today's world is different, individualism has become the mainstream. It's so mainstream, it's not very individualistic at core at all. Just a side note.

  • @mindstormsabrewin Very well said, A great example of this is when the atomic bomb was created, those scientist surely realized their mistake very quickly by understanding that people are far too primitive and that trusting them with the knowledge of nuclear physics would prove a terrible mistake that may ultimately be the cause of our extinction. I too would not trust people with knowledge either, especially the government.

  • @mindstormsabrewin i love how you can insult everyone ever and still have the highest rated comment because of it.

  • @101stlastperson Because that is almost 99,999999999999999999999999999­9999999....% true.

  • @mindstormsabrewin Respect, to understand this it will make you a very smart men!

  • @mindstormsabrewin theres an appropriate word for those kind of people

    "JEALOUS" :)

  • @MrDawgz525 Jealous can quickly turn to "dangerous". People seem threatened when someone has different ideas than them. When I'm around people that know things I don't, I find I'm INSPIRED by them! If they are not an arrogant elitist about it. I don't want to see them torn down. Quite the contrary, I want to learn from them. If someone is willing to share knowledge in the spirit of Enlightenment, why hate them?

  • @mindstormsabrewin the context of this can overwhgelm some. imagine having ur lifes work debunked by some upstart...this can easily make one sour.

  • @rahulpower When surrounded by upstarts it definitely discourages freedom of thought. We are falling as a civilization exactly because we tolerate the rule of the degenerate and ignorant OVER the merits of virtuosity and nobility. These characteristics have been bred out of Western Man by the "mob rule" mentality. Until we start cherishing wisdom and rejecting hostility and degeneracy, we will spiral into the dark ages once more. The inmates must no longer run the asylum.

  • @mindstormsabrewin agreed, but many many people, even intelligent ones cannot distinguish one from the other. its not in black and white in the real world.

  • @mindstormsabrewin different ideas than they...just saying

  • @beaulieu4008

    Speak for yourself. You're not "most people" so you can't have any idea they think or feel, nor can you have any idea what constitutes Truth.

  • @FedupwithR Why can't I be like most people? Why can't I know the Truth?

  • @beaulieu4008

    One can talk about a truth, or It is true that, but there is no such thing as The Truth. A statement which is usually used to encompass the God concept. Even peas in a pod are different. You are an individual, sure there may be many people who share your ideas on a given subject but that doesn't make you like most people. Such statements are bland generalizations.

  • @FedupwithR That's how you choose to see life, I didn't ask you to agree with me. You are entitled to your opinion, but where I draw the line is that you now try to speak for me. I am like most people. There is nothing wrong with generalizations - it's a comment on YouTube. I can write you a book if you want. How is it that you became the only person who knows things. It must be very lonely in your own world.

  • @FedupwithR I agree with dismissing the notion of truth. However, if truth did not exist, the assertion that truth does not exist would, of course, be untrue. Nonetheless, I agree with dismissing the notion of universal truth. Regardless of whether a universal truth exists or not, the faculty of judgment generates uncertainty, hence all knowledge is reduced to belief. An ordered god creating a chaotic system is then plausible, and no one feels stupid for not knowing anything.

  • @axm7473

    No, real knowledge can be verified by facts. We all agree that 1 + 1 apples makes 2 apples. You could believe that it made 3 if it depended on nothing but belief. People believe all manner of nonsense but that doesn't make it true.

  • @FedupwithR This scenario provides as a good example. It does seem that 1 + 1 apples make 2 apples. If one believed that it made 3 apples, I would think that they were wrong, just like most others. The problem is verifying that this statement is in fact incorrect. I myself have a firm belief in the correctness of mathematics and logic, but this itself still remains a belief.

  • @axm7473

    Logic and facts can be proved therefore it doesn't matter if you believe in them or not. A belief is just a belief until it is proved to be fact. Mathematics is not a belief system. It can't be compared to religions which are entirely figments of man's imagination and rely on acceptance without evidence.

  • @beaulieu4008 Not me!:)

  • @beaulieu4008 Mysteriously, I have become increasingly compelled to seek answers of the universes' secrets. I want my own approval only & my mind won't let me rest until I understand why I am, what is real & what relm of infinity will I go. My mind is fogged with hundreds of questions that until only recently, have I had the desire to begin to understand which i probably never will, yet I just keep chipping away at this relentless need to grasp & understand what's it all about & is this it or ..

  • @eyeluvcloe

    I share with you this growing curiosity, as we approach what I'm convinced is a big change in our conscience as humans. I'm amazed at all the knowledge existing today in science and philosophy, and how it is all becoming closer together. We are living astounding times.

  • @eyeluvcloe and me two, I was beginning to worry as my mind has been in turmoil about reality, but it makes make happy to see I am not the only one here.

    Don't panic, whatever comes

  • Comment removed

  • People don't seem to realize that God created human intelligence. It doesn't matter if you believe in him or not he doesn't discriminate with knowledge. How can a chaotic incidental beginning ever give rise to human rationality. People speak of order and logic coming from less oder and no logic? Doesn't make sense.

  • @RoshWilliams

    God is simply the word that has always been used by man to explain everything he failed to comprehend. We no longer imagine a god of rain or thunder because science has solved these mysteries. Now if you bother to educate yourself by studying science you might begin to understand how we have evolved. There is no reason to believe in the imaginary SkyDaddy! You don't need him, free your mind from superstition!

  • me as amuslim these videos improve my faith in almighty allah (GOD)

  • @mdm0e It's only due to the fact of your infinite ignorance! If your faith needed improving, it wasn't very solid to start with... You had a chance then LOL!

  • when math kills you...you're doing it wrong...

  • so the uncertainity of his enemies being near him was low.. it seem

  • Boltzmann was mistaken to believe God could not work through probability. The thermodynamic world requires a quantum mechanical complementarity substratum, the conditions of the complementarity field ultimately determine the fate of a quantum event.

  • @seanmPWH You miss the point. In the idea of God, there can be no probability, just one big certainty. One should leave God way apart from science and mathematics. God could have told mankind about the mysteries of the universe, instead He chose to keep us in complete ignorance of scientific truths until the times Galileo and Newton !

  • @cedrikledlp - you can even move things a step further. There is no reason whatsoever that the 'God' of the Bible is in any way the final arbiter of all things. That god is just one god of many that have existed and will exist in people's imagination. The biblical 'God' was originally two gods that were merged into one godhead, and in itself merely the god of a particular group of people from the Middle East. This is why it should be excluded from any rational thought.It is merely an invention.

  • @cedrikledlp Every thing that can be sensed (emotions, pain, pleasure) is in fact the result of interactions between opposites. The feeling of joy is in fact movement from pain towards pleasure.

    The pleasure of learning is result of movement from ignorance towards knowledge. So, we should be ignorant to experience the pleasure of learning. Its these interactions that makes life worth living. If we were made all knowing, then life would have been meaningless. (Philosophy of Islam)

  • @kureem It's called dualistic mind. People feel happy when other is miserable.

    People praise God because they think they are God themselves even though

    they did not acknowledge this feeling. Denial to their own benefit.

  • @kureem It's called dualistic mind. People are happy so there ought to

    be their overcome of misery.

    People praise God because they think they are God themselves even though

    they did not acknowledge this feeling. Denial to their own benefit.

  • @cedrikledlp "God could have told mankind about the mysteries of the universe, "

    He gave us brains to use but it takes a long time to harness this blob of a tool,

    its a tool that err...has a mind of its own. It leads us away from truth sometimes, its self invested in keeping God far away as possible.

  • @jonesgerard Evolution gave us inteligence not god .

  • @davazno1 God gave us evolution.

  • Evolution is not an object to be given . You have a LOT of catching up .

  • @cedrikledlp God kept us in ignorance ? Santa Clause also keps us in ignorance .

  • @cedrikledlp cedrikledlp you miss the point. Is it not en-vogue among scientists to condemn religion and the idea of god? It is like the protestant reformation, the separation happened, but the protestants were just as the catholics. Just because one believes in science it doesn't mean the idea of god is reserved for religion. Scientist can be just as hard-headed as religious fanatics. The greatest scientists, through their research, knew that they cannot separate spirituality from science.

  • @cedrikledlp Why do u refer to god as a he? Most people think of god as a human like being with whom one can have a personal relationship with. When you look at he vast size of the universe and how insignificant and accidental human life is in it that seems most implausible. Moreover, you are wrong about the ignorance of scientific truths not being until Galileo and Newton... The Sumerians had incredible scientific knowledge for there time, and so did the Egyptians after them...

  • @cedrikledlp well not all of us were kept in ignorance. There are records of 'scientific truths' such as heliocentricism being widely accpeted in other parts of the world, namely Muslim lands, long before Galileo.

  • @cedrikledlp well not all of us were kept in ignorance. arguments for 'scienetific truths' just as heliocentricism wereput forward in other parts of the world long before Galileo.

  • @cedrikledlp Humankind has been fighting over the control of knowledge since before the times of Sumer, Babylon, Egypt, Macedonia. and Rome.

    We know now that in our physical reality, nothing is faster than the speed of light, yet in the dimension of particle physics, an electron can not only behave as a wave and a particle and change it's characteristics under observation, it can also interchange these characteristics with another electron on "the other side" of the Universe INSTANTANEOUSLY!

  • @cedrikledlp Hehe that's the Bible god.... x)

  • @cedrikledlp depends on which religion

  • Actually, they're finding that a huge nice machine computer, without an operator , it does not work. And this huge machine is working without any spiritual touch...

    Just see the foolishness.

    They think automatically it works.

    How this huge machine works, that will be next chapter.

    Misuse of independence is what got us ito this material world, just like a smart father has a smart son, there is possibility of slipping and misusing independence.

  • at 6:10, anyone know the name of that site ... and the name of the statue???

  • It is interesting that western thought evolved from the the suposition that primitive man saw an uncertain, unpredictable world, through a predictable 'clockwork' universe, and back to uncertainty, and 'chaos'. Is this another wheel within a wheel?

    I disagree that entropy increases. This conclusion arises from a narrow perspective & a limited definition of what is 'order'. We are told, for instance, that life on earth has increased in complexity.

  • @bassymcbassface what bug me is that you can't see the idea of why? you know that the atoms are there and are moving as they do, but why are they there and why must they move.

  • @tubxyoob

    The purpose of physics is to first explain the things as they are. Understand the fundamental laws governing such a phenomena just like Quantum mechanical laws describing the atom. At first these themselves were unknown.Science is progressive and incremental. The very fact that we can describe the movement of atoms and make tiny stuff like the chips, shows that our "scientific" understanding is NOT TOO BAD...The question of why will be understood in time...

  • I hope that people in 50 years will be able to re-discover what I have discovered today.

  • people sell their souls to the devil for many different reasons...satan has many different lures...

    the purpose is to keep one's mind occupy with anything that does not pertain to the Word of Yahweh....if u r not walking in the Way of Yahweh, u r walking in the ways of satan

  • @YAHWEHisperfect

    Hihi you are a funny guy.

  • @YAHWEHisperfect

    oh my god shut your mouth and get out of here 

  • @YAHWEHisperfect

    but yes ofcourse. satan wants to lure us. its so obivious ! that explains everything. so all we need to do is to destroy all technology, all the science we have developed. how about you start by smashing your fucking computer with a sledgehammer, destroy everything what you have made by technology and science, go in to the woods, take some leeves, build a tent from those and live your life there and never enjoy anything because ITS THE DEVIL THAT IS LURING YOU. its SO obivious!

  • Ironic! I was reading about Boltzman and theromodymanics this morning in the book decoding the universe.

  • "genius of disorder"..., very well!

  • if I say this documentary is food for thought, the phrase is understood and no one has a problem with it... but my mind is not a mouth and thoughts aren't edible...

    life is constructed of nonsensical shit

  • Einstein protested that "God does not pay dice," but mightn't God play with loaded dice?

  • Where would we be today without these great people? They keep us from ignorance. They are kings amongst men. I think there is a connection between genius and madness. I'm I right?

  • @trudunneism

    "We have all heard people cite the celebrated line of Dryden as "Great genius is to madness near allied." But Dryden did not say that great genius was to madness near allied. Dryden was a great genius himself, and knew better. It would have been hard to find a man more romantic than he, or more sensible. What Dryden said was this, "Great wits are oft to madness near allied"; and that is true. It is the pure promptitude of the intellect that is in peril of a breakdown. " -Chesterton

  • @JefferyJacckelot Thanks for taking the time to answer,much appreciated.

  • as always. to succeeding generations even our knowledge of the universe will seem just as naive as those of the ancient greeks. knowledge is forever expanding but its upto to you to let your imagination go past what you know.

  • Wow, he revolutionized his world by introducing probability. Today it's so banal and obvious, back then he was going against modern science itself! It's awesome to realize that these shifts happen. Those on the outside today are celebrated tomorrow.
