Don't miss Nobel Minds 2023 with this year's class of laureates. See it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLNofpuD09TKdIE.html

Guinness world record for IQ per square meter

This should have been a two hour conversation and without a host.

The amount of respect that every scientist is giving to each other while speaking is amazing we don't see that often.

"We are the beneficiaries of also a lot of luck, as well as hard work and perhaps a tiny bit of talent." That humility hit me differently.

Can’t help but feel sorry for the host. The format of this was basically attempting to individually interview the 15 or so Nobel winners with a very harsh time constraint that left no room for the interaction between them that everyone wanted to see. It meant she constantly had to cut off and interrupt them, making her look like a terrible interviewer.

So I'm 3 minutes in, and I'm already under the impression that the host is trying to wrap things up.

17:43 “we are physicists, we worked in biology and we get the Nobel Prize in Chemistry” 😅👏🏿

I worry about the self awareness of anyone who calls themselves “100% rational”.

I once met a Nobel, Albert Fert. He asked me what I studied, I said: "Aerospace Engineering", he was not impressed. A charmful experience.

Finally got this suggestion, I think my feed is on the right track.

It was sort of gratifying to hear how the one Nobel laureate went after love, flunked MIT, and still achieved this great thing…

40:00 the irony... so many cuts in this conversation. They should be releasing the full video.

Its so satisfying to see, how they don't interrupt each other. Its such harmonious conversation. That shows, how smart people have a conversation. Compare this to politics.

The Rick and Morty fan meetup looked fun

This conversation is way too short. Love to hear these people talk. There's so much potential for great discussion and dumbed down insight for all of us but no time to go there. Imagine if you could let these people talk for a couple of hours. Would be priceless.

There’s so much respect towards writer Kazuo Ishiguro from the scientists that you rarely see in the real world. I hope one day liberal-fine arts can co-exist peacefully with STEM, instead of people arguing about which one’s more difficult or which one’s more profound. It’s clear that fine-arts has a gift of “nudging” society that through films and music, and vice versa. Interstellar is a great example of that. Kip Thorne and Ishiguro should work on a film together. Would love to see that.

"If you write a novel and it´s read by a hundred readers, you´re really writing a hundred novels" - beautifully put! 27:28

The host here did an amazing job considering that she had to interact with 11 super nerdy geniuses who are leaders in specific fields. Imagine the amount of research she had to do to understand what each of these guys had been awarded for. She needed to know all that in order to ask relevant questions and contribute in the conversation as well! At the same time she had to know how to regulate the conversation so that everyone gets a chance to speak in the short amount of time. Some of them are clearly not very social and some are taking too long to answer. Plus she had put up with the interruptions and still stay calm and try to keep the whole conversation flowing and entertaining to watch. She is brilliant and she deserves to be appreciated more!

22:33 the fact that this is such a common, profound narrative, even in the realms of scientists (as rational and objective as it gets) is nothing less than beautiful. Granting people the opportunity to follow what they love and support them in that is invaluable

I’ve watched every year’s nobel minds but most people agree the 2017 conversation is the most interesting authentic, insightful.

They should gather the nobels in a room with a hidden camera, n see what will they talked about

It's a real shame that a conversation between some of the world's greatest minds would receive only 7000 views, while a video of two people fighting in a shopping mall can get tens of millions.

The world needs more round tables like this, for inspiration and insight alone. Thank you!!

Jeffrey Hall's demeanor is like a poker player in WSOP, so chill and laid back, really curious on his perspective in life after all of his accomplishments.

This could have been great. If it had been a conversation instead of an inane attempt to interview so many people at once.

The Hollywood Reporter has the roundtable full with actors, directors, etc. Those were entertaining. But Nobel Prize has a roundtable with Nobel Laureates? Beyond amazing. I hope this continues in perpetuity.

I have a feeling they all had the actual round table after this event wrapped up, where no one would interrupt them.

Next time consider giving laureates to chance ask the questions.

22:39 - 23:38 -- This statement said by Rainer Weiss got me at the heart. His small speech on dedicating your life to something shouldn't be for an award or recognition, but for the sheer pleasure of working on it or better yet "having fun with it". Although not important, the recognition follows later for others that see your vision as you saw it when you first started working on your pursuit. It's almost as if it came out of a movie script about brilliant intellectuals coinciding their ideas. EXCEPT IT'S REAL!

just observe the amount of humbleness in these giants. It's insane man!!

The expression "Sleeping like a baby" is actually referring to having no worries in the world when you sleep not the quality of said sleep.

"you jumped too fast, don't do that"

why are there so many cuts and edit-out sections? I got the feeling that many of the laureates didn't finish their ideas. A discussion of this level must have a higher time limit, you can't expect them to deliver short answers. Big minds answer big questions and when they do, you can't expect the answers to be small.

when those man start taking notes , you know that there is something useful in their conversation

.... can't these be series where we hear every Nobel prize winner alive, discussing about their field,life and such with each other and explain about them

11:07 She received a harsh correction from this brilliant man. "It is better to be quick to listen and slow to speak."

I feel bad for the host. There is simply too much content to touch upon in such a limited stretch of time. She is already doing a good job pacing the conversation, but it’s simply impossible not to cut out anything important. This should go on forever.

Please make these conversations longer perhaps 3 hours, tackle societal issues in context with the present and the future. Let's hear sector recommendations from the great minds with reference to their specific fields.

If it could go for forever and forever. This conversation is like symphony to me.

I would've watched this for 6 hours if not more

This feels like a huge missed opportunity. The editing and watering down of these great minds simply because they want the program to be 45 minutes and possibly out of fear of actually letting a discussion go forward unhindered, To me it feels like an insult to the audiences intelligence. I would love to see something like this that was more free form and completely uneditited.

This in a long form discussion would be some of the most influential material ever produced, such a shame they limit the conversation so much

Whole video is wonderful. The insights and Q&As are absolutely amazing. Minute 22 stood out to me. Rosbash and Weiss passionately present the key to it all; love for the work itself, independent of awards and recognition... Hell Yes

What surprises me most was the amount of energy and comments by noticing the faults, and propelling on the idea of certain imperfection of this session over the profound topics and great minds exchanging within this short 45 mins talk. I would say, if you agree the topics heard are of significance and most of you agree, no doubt, then let's do something about it. In order to contribute constructively to the conversation, I'd like to encourage the following discussion: 1. How might we teach maths in an interesting and applicable way? (10.33 to 11.18) 2. Expect failure 99%, you can only pursue something if you are truly having fun. And with luck, that 1% you might succeed. In spite of its treacherous journey, the joy of doing, the joy of pushing further, the joy of exploration is what needs to be understood, for all fields and of life. (20.07- 23.32) 3. The importance of writing (for scientist and beyond) even if you aren't in the Arts (29.25) 4. With the new discovery, science breakthrough and thought-provoking work, how can our society benefits from it? (25.40) 5. The necessary education of science, how to go about teaching these topics, how best to expose kids and the general public the importance of science and math, and having higher literacy and comprehension of the subject. (35.25 to 39.11, 40.19 to 41.14 ) 6. "We have forums but media chop everything in the piece, people are incapable of getting coherence stories". 39.48 7. Journalism is broken. People care more about eyeballs and click rates over the accuracy of information - (41.33) No doubt there might be negative feedback or voices of opposition, we are all entitled to our own opinions, if we spent our time listening to this, over something else we could have done, then it would be a dis-service to ourselves not to talk about some of the ideas and thoughts within this video. Here or somewhere else, or even just a dialogue within yourself.

All so calm and soft spoken. You can just hear the wisdom when they speak.

8 min through , and I still don't see how mind blowing this session is gonna be

32:33 I can imagine him having wanted to be a writer when young. Love all he utters.

This guy @3:14 helped make Nolan's interstellar so perfect. They named the AI bot Kipp after him. The movie was inspired by his book by the same name.

For every Nobel prize there is an assistant that done half the work. But much respect.

I can’t believe that THESE MINDS weren’t giver the freedom to have an open conversation. Having such great minds together on a table and openly conversing should be open to the public more often!

I just don't understand why people dislike such a great video.

Isnt it interesting that intelligent people actually listen to one another without interupting. Maybe we could learn from this example...probably not tho

I'm lucky enough to have met Rainer Weiss in person. Very kind intelligent man.

40:34 ironically it is exactly what has happened to this video. This whole discussion has been chopped down because the media thinks "the consumer has low attention span". I would love to spend hours learning with this discussion but sadly has been chopped down. I think I'm not alone in this topic.

This should be a series ❤️ such great insights into what humanity is doing apart from wasting time partying.

This conversation deserves more than 40 minutes, at least 2 hours to be satisfied.

this is a perfect discussion, but the profesor right the lady looks unhappy at the end of the talk. i think the host should not ignore his emotion ,and let they say what they realy want to say, not to interrupt the conversation. it is the basic respect to these science gaint.

I honestly wish this went for hours and hours. I love hearing their ideas in highly specific sciences.

One of the coolest discussion ever seen.

In my sophomore year of high school (last year), my Algebra 2 Accelerated class did a unit on probability and actually focused a lot on gambling. We even had a partner project in which we made games and calculated all their statistical aspects. At the very end of the unit was "Casino Day" where everyone had the same amount of tickets, set up their games and played each others. I was astounded by the results. So appreciative of teachers like mine who always went the extra mile in his teaching.

KZfaq suggested this to me in 2020 and I can't stop watching. Can't believe I missed it for this long.

Quality education, Ethnic Business Model, Accurate Storytelling, Acceptance of failure rate and loving your craftsmanship. Wonderful takeaway from the dedicated well seasoned certified learners.

She did a great job hosting and i could just listen to what everyone have to say for hours on end

Just let this table of brilliant men have a conversation with each other... the moment a topic gains momentum the moderator throws it off completely

22:25 absolutely golden. Rainer Weiss basically trying to say: "You, stop twisting words and listen"

When I see Kip Throne, my eyes burst into years. I love you from the bottom of my heart, Kip. I wish more prosperities for you Kip.

This should have been longer

This lady would be a great reality show host or other popular thing on tv. But sure as hell not fit to host a conversation between some of the smartest people in the world.

We are physicist who work in biology to get Nobel in chimestry......well sounds interesting.

Truly inspirational, One such moment I want to share. When this chemistry teacher mr walter white won a nobal price he put it beautifully, he said and I quote "I liked it I was good at it, I felt alive" ❤️

Anyone catch Kip Thorne as one of the minds that helped give us the spectacular images from Interstellar. A great man indeed!

I want more! Def not enough time for these great minds to express fully their thoughts in one hour.

More People should watch this. It's amazing that we live in such a world were my simple life has access to such wisdom. :)

Imagine a live stream of this round table without a host and without a time limit.

OMG. Kazuo Ishiguro's face when she said, " I hope you all enjoyed it!" in the end. The irony!!! :-D when he's actually talking about media putting too much emphasis on entertainment. Man!!!....i cracked up so bad. Also That comment, "So you want kids to become gamblers?" The difference between a noble prize winner and a common person - jumping into conclusions.

What is with Zeinab Badawi continually interrupting? She talks way too much.

Just make it in "a group discussion on a specific broad topic" format. No need of a host, these people know how to keep the discussion civilized.

Such a marvel watching these brilliant people exchange ideas. Props to the interviewer for doing such a great job.

Damn, whenever I see kip Thorne I just feel that lucky I am to live at the same time with Kip Thorne. One of the greatest scientists ever.

It's really great to watch this extraordinary men talking about their discoveries, and the fun they had working on them. Science is incredible, and this has a lot to do with the men that are behind it.

God, the huge amount of smartness is oozing out of the screen! Would love to be part of the audience ;)

The way She makes her credentials function well in front of Eleven Laureates Is startling!

I like the importance they give to their own work. They don’t wave it around the room as the greatest thing to ever happen to mankind, yet they are proud of it, and treat it with the respect. It must be such a great feeling to be in that room with great minds exchanging their knowledge.

Interviewer did a great job with the time she was allotted and the job she was given. Being able to have that many people contribute in 40 minutes substantively to a range of topics in keeping with their differing areas of expertise was well achieved. She did cut the literature laureate off twice that I noticed. However she circled back and allowed him continue to speak to the topic under discussion. The second time was to end the program. I did hear her cutoff one other person to her right and was trying to clarify the point of her question that the laureate lost his cool and took exception to. That's a reflection on him not her. She finally caught on that there was no point in clarifying let him finish and had the good sense to take his outburst gracefully and move on. There was another gentleman to her left whom she brought into the conversation on literature and writing who obviously found being asked a question about that interesting but had the good graces to smile acknowledge why she was doing that, but also responded to the question gracefully. She did a great job! She gave everyone an opportunity to contribute despite the number of people and time constraints. She also raised interesting topics in which to engage these disparate disciplines sitting at the same table (5 disciplines).

This could have potentially been one of the greatest interviews/conversations, ever. I really don't understand why they have chosen this lady as a host. She might be perfect for news interviews with politicians where you don't allow the speaker to talk a lot. But here, this is definitely not the case. We should let these people to talk and teach as much as possible.

For those people wondering what the intro song is, it's Fireflies by Paul Mottram. You're welcome.

It's wonderful to see a group of old people speak with so much young energy. The way in which every word is deliberately thought out and presented doesn't at all hinder the clearly endless passion they have for their respective subjects.

In such a unique setting where we have the chance to know what goes on in the minds of these great academics, the host should have had the clear realization that they are there only to facilitate the conversation and not lead it, and should play only the role of filling in the silent/dull moments to spark up new conversation rather than try to 'ask questions and get answers' from everyone all the time and many a times by interrupting what could have been an interesting anecdote/thought.

Any one commenting on the necessity of the host is missing a great gift. She is a wonderful bridge for people who have the same thoughts and question. If she wasn't present I doubt much of the viewership, myself included, would be able to follow a discussion between these incredibly intelligent beings. She makes it much or accessible to me. Also when she was correct - how many people do you think had the same thought about teaching through gambling? Not only was she corrected - so were all the people with the same thought. Also when they focused on failure and were corrected, or rather, nudged to focus on having fun - everyone who glorifies failure were nudged at the same time. She played an important roll.

It’s good to have this sort of forum, but the prize doesn’t often go to the ones who truly deserve it

I enjoyed a lot and learned so much on their round-table discussion. Both noble and Nobel minds in their respective sphere of science and arts and each one is representative of mankind's vast and excellent potentialities and communicating a universal common theme: focusing the mind with the passion to discover, to learn, to use new or old knowledge to improve human life. That's an attempt on my part to articulate their collective passion and energy as they share their thoughts and ideas. Thank you.

The most pleasant, interesting and brillant chat I heard in my entire life.

Professor Weiss laying it down @ 23:12 -- thank THE GODS. Honestly, who does this lady think she is?

Amazing how people can be this brilliant and this dull at the same time.

I hope it was the intern that put the microphone on the ties. Besides that, it gives you goosebumps this kind of talks with incredible, talented and smart people

If the host dumbing it down means interesting topics will appeal to more people than a more drawn out discussion, she isn’t really causing any damage

I am sorry but the host killed this reunion. Please make another reunion without a disrupting host every minute.

Great minds! Refreshing and educating to hear from some of the brilliant minds of our time.

Learning others language as adult remains one of the most challenging thing of all time
