Nobel Conference 41, 'The Legacy of Einstein,' celebrates the 100th anniversary of Einstein's annus mirabilis. The series links a general audience in debate with some of the World's foremost scientists in the areas of statistical physics, relativity, cosmology, and unified theories. In addition, the impact of Einstein's discoveries and his social and political views has had on science and humanity.This episode features speaker Kip S. Thorne. This forum was held at Gustavus Adolphus College.
Interesting opinions, however I disagree that consciousness must be explained in a spiritual sense. Scientists like dawkins or Sagan do not devalue human life or take any of it's "preciousness" away. Actually, they likely value life more so because they don't believe in an after life where they can exist eternally. They simply dispute the existence of a god or the supernatural. Some just offer an alternative approach other than that of some driving force that transcends the laws of nature.
