The Fine Art of Not Knowing

Uploaded by BlueCollarScience on Dec 26, 2009
Richard Feynman, Carl Sagan, S. James Gates, Jr., and Freeman Dyson discusses science, human knowledge and the unknown. I re upload this video after reading a comment posted on my original by FilmTravelerMatt who kindly suggested that I should correct the aspect ratio. Thank you and sorry for the mistake.

@lightbluegunshots And where is the fun in knowing it all? If I knew everything I would have no inclination to do anything because I'd know the outcome before I even thought about it. Omniscience sucks.

Best video on youtube, #1 on my chanel....When I first saw this I knew I wasn't the only one thinking this way. I have a feeling that we know nothing, our religions and human history is a dot compared to what's out there.

I love this. It makes me feel so small! But I love that feeling. It brings me closer to myself and my own life and what it means to ME. The universe is badass.

He's anthropomorphizing what goes on with radioactive isotopes - in this case, of uranium. It's not a "free choice" per se, but rather a random event. To spew a few more metaphors into the ether, there's no alarm clock set to ring and eject an alpha particle, but rather a random number generator. If the right number comes up, bam, you've got thorium. But you can't say when! Of course, this doesn't happen with most atoms, only the exceptional radioactive ones.
