30 minutes of this channel gives me more motivation than 3 weeky of my studies at university.

Why aren't there millions subscribed to this channel? Love every episode, so glad I found it.

Robert Lawrence Kuhn is the best. Closer to Truth is close to my heart.

Amazing series, all the heavy hitting questions. Thanks for making these

There isn't enough good things to say about this program. It's genuine, none biased and it hits to the deepest questions of reality. Keep up the great work Robert.

I agree with Dr. Krauss. There is way more that we do not understand than things we do understand. It's a great time for discovery and invention.

i like how every interview takes place in different places

Excellent.... especially the analysis & conclusion by Distinguished Dr Robert L Kuhn... thanks 🙏.

Love this channel...thanks for taking us with you in this journey

This is one of those channels that I love to break away from this reality & ponder other possibilities. Thanx for such a different series, my friend!

Best episode yet! Lawrence Krauss is brilliant!

Closer to truth. I so appreciate your digging in and grinding through our science, religion...and whatever it is that makes us conscious human beings.The Truth of All Things...my mission statement.

Usually a straight faced production, but I like your editor's sense of humor at 3:33.

When it comes to the truth, the answer is just another question.

"if you asked that question a hundred years ago you'd have been put in a lunatic asylum."

Good episode just watched on Beyond Physics, Robert Kuhn! I think dr. Krauss is getting it. Compare to the other opinions.

It´s not "Beyond Physics", it´s "Beyond current concepts" ;) Btw. Thank you for the undogmatic content from a scientific perspective! Instant subscribe

Definitely one of my favorite STEM etc. channels. It really should have more subscribers.

"What's beyond Physics?" The part of physics we haven't uncovered, yet.

This Channel is too good to be real. Love the quality and content

Dear Robert, thanks again for those very high quality interviews. Let me try to show some perspective from science philosophy. Please excuse me if it is something that you are already familiar with. Our idea that scientific progress would probably reach an end (a final theory) is biased because of our imprisonment within some paradigm. Paradigms do reach a limit of understanding, and when we are on the edge of the paradigm, we really think we are very close to an end, still very far. So we feel some anguish. But the paradigm is only a set of fundamental axioms and postulates, that will allow lots of development in its beggining and face a tough time in its end. Thomas Kuhn stated that, when acquiring a paradigm, the scientific and intellectual community also acquires a criterion for choosing problems that, as long as the paradigm is accepted, will be considered as having a possible solution. If we are on the edge of a paradigm, we are not on the edge of proper knowledge about reality, bot only on the edge of the paradigm's limits. When we could adhere to a new paradigm, we feel relief, but it is only because of the possibilities of another newbie set of axioms and postulates. It is not easy for us to recognize that our questions are conditioned by their own possible answers in a non causal relationship. Questions do only exist because we know how to ask. Best regards and thanks again. Best YT science channel ever.

I enjoy this series, the appearances of characters like Lawrence Kraut and the bottomless pit discussions about religion notwithstanding

What's very interesting too is that these theories seem to form in the imagination first and then materializes. Not just through what observed almost like something is calling us to discover it on a timeline. Like we are the universe discovering it's own consciousness.

thank you for interviewing Sheldrake.

Krauss won a lot of respect from me here.

He is the Anthony Bourdain of science. I love his spirit of inquiry and his accompanying narrative.

thank you for this ... really enjoyed this one ..

Morphic resonance, what a beautiful concept, beautifully explained.

11:50 😂👏 One of the most brilliant things I've ever heard. Instead of "Laws" "Habbits"...that have evolved over a very long time.

Very informative! 👍❤

Great video. Thank you! 💯

wow. Paul Davies blew my mind. haven't heard that idea before but I think he's completely right.

Brave man getting in a pool with Krause.

Wonderful presentation. Complex matters dealt in simple understandable language. Loved it. I tend to agree with the proposed idea of consciousness which will make the universe a living entity and not a slave to physical laws. This has to be approached with an open mind with a realisation that complete truth is yet to be revealed. Maybe a little less of rigidity and a little more of humility might help. I also tend to agree that the universal laws which govern the working of our universe would be simp,e rather than complex. Great presentation.

This is quickly becoming my favourite show

I love that he brings up conciousness. Suprise. The soul is fact not faith. The soul is quantum mechanical in nature.

Love this guy !

Love this channel!!!

Iam obcessed with this series

This channel is GOLD.⚱️

A superb programme. The intro, about two minutes gave me goosebumps, absolutely brilliant. Kuhn himself is a treasure and has such a wonderful knowledge of all the Closer To The Truth programmes. Laurence Krauss is a diamond in our society. Absolutely a wonderful programme in a wonderful collection. A tribute to humanity.

brilliant series

Best episode for me in the moment!! No boundaries.. Just surprises..

Isaac Asimov said he believed knowledge was "fractal in nature." I would infer from that, it is (exponentially) new questions all the way down. Philosophers and scientists will have job security till the end of time.

Thanks for the share. This is most definitely one of the best pieces on youtube.

13:50 he's describing a fractal. Wow, he just blew my mind with morphic resonance. It aligns and expands on my own intuitions.

David Chalmers' ideas go up to eleven!!

Loving these long-form videos. Great job!

Very Good discussion.

Such a great channel

I'm with Rupert. Physics evolves. Like, the speed of light is, in a way, faster now than it was a billion years ago. I think this because of expansion. Light doesn't travel a mile any faster than it ever did but, a mile is now longer than it was in the beginning. Everything is expanding together so we don't see it. There's no way to gain perspective. We'll need a way to disconnect from the universe and see what it does without us. From the outside looking in. I think as the universe gets bigger, new smaller things are added. Maybe by a designer, a programmer and yes, maybe a creator. When we finally get close to finding the smallest thing in the universe, the building block of everything, a new and invisible smallest thing will be added. Something for us to continue to look for.

Wonderful episode🙂 Rupert Sheldrake’s Morphic Fields hypothesis is brilliant👍

I am sure we will make progress on these questions. I wonder though whether it will be in the near future, or whether on the comtrary we can expect a fallow period in our progress comparable to that between Classical Greece and the Scientific Revolution!

A good show and closer to the truth I hope

Thank you 🙏 appreciate the brain 🧠 tickles 🤗

Very interesting video. One can learn from cradle to grave. Bravo. 👍

Great.....this one of your best.....wonderful...

Love the theories

Excellent..... thanks 🙏.

Robert truely is truth seeker with golden voice.

really great most reasonable minded person to me in all the programmes

Great video and great topic. I have often thought about this myself. What major discoveries do we not know that future scientists will discover. What do we believe now that is totally wrong. Will we ever know everything? Personally I don't think we ever will.

the only reason i listen to mr. kuhn is because he has a hypnotic voice and it puts me to sleep.

A video on entropy please dr Kuhn??? 😁♥️♥️

Whats beyond physics? Life and biology. Its all right here - right in front of us. Life is the answer. Life breaks the cycle of determinism.

Sheldrake is a legend.

Fascinating

You guys are legend.

If 400 years of discoveries would be sufficient to know how this world works it would mean that creator of this world was rather simple being.

As much as finding “answers” is pleasurable, personally playing with the the questions to be more so. Guess that sentiment is simply a reformulation of “ooh, shiny!”

Consciousness is the elephant in the room that the mainstream thinkers are ignoring.

The more we understand what exists beyond our current understanding, the more we will discover about the paranormal and supernatural

More “physics” is probably beyond “physics”

All that the themes discussed here are beautifully presented in an upcoming book, Dreamaker, on December 2020

I like this channel partly because of the mostly mature and relative comments.Some you agree some you don't however-apart from individuals with irrelative and non-scientific political agenda's -all worth reading...

Thanks

It might all come down to the sensitivity and complexity of our measuring instruments. And we have just begun our trip up the steep learning curve of ever-evolving computing power.

Kuhn on Sheldrake: "conjuring up organising principles that almost certainly do not exist". The term "almost certainly" is the standard put down in the absence of a better theory.

I agree with him , inside the quarks , you have the znorts , & so on .

I'm watching again tomorrow.

Lawrence rocking the Panerai. Respect!

A mystical experience under the effects on psychedelics makes a presentation such as this significantly more understandable.

Thanks for this episode, only for the mention, Roger Penrose and David Deutsch could have added more here.

I like your closer to truth, 100Nu.

Art 🤩

Beyond Physics is the Supernatural.

Physics is everything.

There is so much beyond physics. So much that we have no idea how much there is beyond it. We already know that metaphysics is beyond physics, but that is just the start.

Great

Rupert Sheldrake's "morphic ressonance" sounds like it came straight out of ancient Greek philosophy.

We are barely aware of how much we still have to learn

1:34 yes! with more science!

No better place to talk of physics than iceland

I believe that consciousness is the missing link between nothingness and creation. In a looping Darwinian evolutionary circle which is also including space and time in its intermediate steps.

Consciousness is everything , physics are inside mind , not outside 💓

Magic!

I have loads of these and I am still none the wiser however at least Rupert Sheldrake does sound poetic even if I have no idea what he is on about.

21:21 I don't know about his understanding of Quantum Mechanics. The whole conscious observer thing is kinda pop science at this point isn't it? You do not need a living thing to collapse a wave function. Any measurement device, or really any macroscopic thing capable of being entangled with a quantum system can collapse a wave function. A camera with no human looking at the camera can collect it. A detector with no human there can collapse it. You would have to suggest that the camera or detector device also has consciousness however you define it, and by extension yield that inanimate objects have whatever your definition of consciousness is. But I would say that that definition would ultimately boil down to being the ability to be entangled with a quantum system, which if that's the definition, then yeah sure everything has consciousness to some degree at least because everything obeys quantum mechanics. But what is special about that? I really don't quite subscribe to the whole consciousness theory stuff. It's interesting, but it's not quite there. I don't think it's the right direction and is overly glorifying this idea of consciousness because we have it and asserting that it must be special because we have it and it's so amazing, and even more boldly, trying to assert that a Physicalist model can never explain or understand or account for consciousness.

You may understand how the world WORKS, but you have know clue what it IS.

The universe is conscious and living things are intelligent (able to make comfort out of uncomfortable)
