Closer To Truth
What exists? Lots of things exist. But what’s truly fundamental? The challenge is to discern the minimum number of basic categories that explains the entirety of existence. Featuring interviews with Sean Carroll, David Wallace, David Chalmers, and Don Page.

Asking what exists, is like looking in the refrigerator when you are hungry and all that's left in there is some old carrots, a piece of pie and some beer. I guess its beer for dinner.
This show is just incredible to watch. Just brilliance.
“David is an arch-physicalist…..he thinks reality is only which is accessible to science” right after the man said “there may be stuff which is inaccessible to science but we’ll never know”. Jeez. If there were ever a smart, logical person who let his desire that god exists cloud his judgement it’s Kuhn
Totally love this show!!
Annndddd…..the most bumbling, stuttering one of the entire bunch was the one trying to explain the "christian version"…..as usual…..
At 15:18 You cant tell me he dont sound like stewie!! 😂
Sean Carrol said he is physicalist then said all that exists is a quantum wave function. huhhh?!!
Quantum wave on (cosmic) consciousness
Thank you Thank you Thank you – I am learning (slowly) how to think critically and entertain viewpoints I once struggled to face. Open minded, sincere, respectful and as always pushing the envelope. Thank you RLK et al. at Close To Truth. 👌
What exists? Everything:)
Minimum number 1. Waves.
…there's a real arrogance in modern physics
it endlessly spouts on and on about
"quantum wave function"
then (like Sean) says:
"I don't know"
No one should care on lick what some "expert" "believes"….people are stupid primates and having a degree in quantum physics doesn't grant immunity to stupid "beliefs"
Only objects "exist" Only things with "shape" exist. Everything else is a concept. Full stop.
Chalmers: Consciousness doesn't interact with the physical. What about when we have thoughts, new neurological pathways are created, forged, established … new synapses created? This is mentation creating the physical.
There is no such thing as nothing. It's self-contradictory. No … Thing. A thing is a thing that necessarily exists. What then is "no thing?" A thing (which exists) that doesn't exist?? That doesn't work. Even when we say "nothing," that is a word and a thought … and it exists. There is no such thing as nothing and can't be. So there is no mystery about why there is something rather than nothing (which is a logical contradiction).
Physical actions depend on subtle causes.
I just unified general relativity and quantum mechanics (Quantum mechanics + Consciousness = General relativity). Waiting for my nobel prize. 😉😉
How does the double split experiment fit with the idea of consciousness and material objects. On the surface it would seem that consciousness affects the material.
Why did they use Alan Alda's voice for the first guy?
5 meo DMT
I have my own theory of the universe.

My question, how does dimensional science fit into y'all's science.
Sean Carroll summarised it as well as is possible. Far too much is made of consciousness. However, Don page is a good example of the unusual ways in which the mind can work.
You have given the explanation to "Thought manifests reality" the quantum mechanics wave is the platform and the mind gives the orders- the program. It can be the active abstract "god" or any one of us. Thank you.
Matter cannot exist without physical laws and constants first existing. Physical laws and constants cannot exist without mind / consciousness / intelligence first existing. Mind / consciousness / intelligence is Prime.
It’s a quantum field we live in. Waves are just what we can see. It is all individual, whilst we see agreement we are perverting each other’s contribution. The challenge is finding balance and acceptance of each other.
How about this question. Why would the primordial matter of the known universe, if according to orthodox science is not conscious or intelligent, need, want or even be able to organize itself into complex organs like a brain for instance capable of consciousness and thus intelligence if not without some predetermined impetus and intent that would want and need it to be so? From a purely logical perspective you can't get a "Something" from a "No" "Thing". IMO when "Consciousness" is really understood with all it's contingent implications then we might have the answers to the scientific and existential questions that are presently not available regardless of how they are at times summarily dismissed by orthodox scientists.
I hate listening to atheists, specifically liberal ones. They have that subtle, passive aggressive (no I'm right and you're ideas are stupid) attitude.
We are swallowing ourselves
Mathematical equation or expression can never explain this or for that matter anything because it’s formulation assumes too many things so that the final product is far away from what it is supposed to do.this is just a p,at of words.
Do Not;: I repeat do not smoke weed before you watch this video.
I love being open-minded I feel bigger then life no matter what. The energy I've always had and still have is amazing. My spirit I feel, will go on I'll never die. This is based in what I've learned by this time from wisdom and knowledge with lifetime everything day by day experiences .. An education would have been the cherry on top but, it was not in the cards for me. Recently, I learned what I never understood ..I was diagnosed with major adhd along with some kind of personality disorder. Yes I suffered. I grew up with a loving family who never knew I was suffering cos I managed to just get through life living by the moment. Someone once put it after handing him my personality test.. He took me aside and gave me my results of that test.. . How puzzled he was he said I'm like a lost spirit wondering just floating around . 15 years later after moving back to that state..I took the same test again.. And got the same reaction… The exact same words to me amazed again.. Wow to begin what he said again..
If we exist God can also exist and he does for sure.
What is real? How do you define real?
See the Science and Nonduality website for the answer:

The existing itself is relative. All things are changing either slowly or rapidly. It includes our perseption and understanding of everything as well. Universe is a nonstationary itself. What exists is eternal motion of matter.
The 4 th density is where we go after our 90000 year reincarnation cycle is over with. 4th density beings are a kin to super humans.
There was one creator that split itself off into separate pieces of consciousness to experience itself. Duality, positive and negative/good and bad is a way for the creator to know itself. Once our consciousness goes through these 8 densities, we then merge back with the one creator m. We are now in the third density which has a 90,000 year reincarnation cycle. The 3rd density has the veil of forgetting so that in each life we make an honest choice to follow the positive path which is the service to others path or the negative path which is service to self path. Both paths serve the one creator in knowing itself. So at the end of the day experience is the only purpose to anything.
Read the 3 or 4 books of the law of one: the ra material and it will explain everything.
There is no God it's all made up in your mind.
I believe your conscience creates even the process of your thought and action creating the physical and all around perspective and creation..
Numbers are there ..all the physical..creative resources given by perseption..all the science is explored by curious thought
A therm they used all the time
Space and Time!
If they know so much, they should know what Will happening the next second of their life!
Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
This is doesn’t makes sense at all! Everything came from nothing. The so-called physicians are trying to prove themselves right; but they are burry themselves in the ditch.
None of the philosophical explanation makes sense.
Wtf????
