@@3rsullivan it is not so absurd, if you think about it.. Human beings are the only known (so far) arrangements of atoms in the cosmos that are sentient and can reflect upon existence. Thus, we are a part of the cosmos that can observe itself.
@ I'm saying that evolution (life from non-life) is not possible. True scientists know that. Look at DNA. It's a language - a programming language.. It is literally impossible for it to develop outside of an intelligent force. As long as God is in the mix, than yes, we can reflect upon our existence - but only because we were made that way.

This is the greatest short i have ever watch Brian Cox is truly unmatched in how he simplifies and delivers he’s ideas no matter how complicated they are
You are absolutely correct, English is my third language and I have much difficulty to understand this heavily subject, but he makes it much easier for me, not to mention I still have hard time to catch the whole conversation, but I love it . ❤❤
Brian Cox has been far too busy making his own excellent documentary series and giving lectures as well as doing actual astro physics and cosmology and also working at the cutting edge Large Hadron Collider in Europe.
It is. Brian is a word smith in relating scale and beauty in few words. I am also able to bask in this amazing thought process as you. Truely remarkable.
Honestly if you ever get the chance, go to one of his lectures! I went to one last year in February and it was mind blowing! Planning to go to another one of his lectures next February
@@john-nx4xnThe unpardonable sin is rejecting God's light of truth so often and so defiantly that someone goes beyond the point of no return, the point where they not only reject God's revelation but become hardened against it, determined never to accept it.
I see Brian Cox as the greatest gift to the science community, since Sagan. I have never seen someone so humbly describe complex scientific principles without a shred of arrogance, or elitism towards the layman audience. Cox seems genuinely & sincerely excited about getting the message out, in regards to scientific breakthroughs & science in general.
I also like how he isn't JUST "formalistic", at all. He approaches philosophical questions and really enjoys the ride, when most modern scientists are like "meeh philosophy, old crap by old people". As a teacher once told me, if science doesn't help us become better humans, it's useless.
Prof Cox speaks about the most challenging concepts in the most enchanting way. I appreciate your knowledge and enormous work you put into your development. You are a brilliant scientist ✨
Well, we are experience itself. The atoms and the stars and the universe might be components of mentation. Subset to experience. Read Kastrup for compelling analytical idealist arguments.

Exactly! I'm fascinated to learn about science-based discoveries every day. Those who think they have the "truth" as prepackaged, easy answers from whatever religion happens to be convenient to their culture are missing out on evidence-based, tested and peer-reviewed discoveries which I consider far more interesting than old stories by primitive and superstitious people. Also, if one 'thinks' they already have their 'answers', why keep looking for them or even learning any more?

No - 'create' implies considered intent - there is no evidence of intention that we exist, Bryan has talked about this at length. There is also no evidence to suggest that life is anything more than part of the inevitable process of the laws inherent in the universe, no matter how 'special' that feels for the beings it creates and exist within it. Carl Sagan talked about that too.
@@TarotVylan A teacher once told me "the universe is mind, this is why everything translates into information". And it's really fascinating if you think existence like a fractal.
Yes, YES! We are all just parts of the same system that is the universe, experiencing itself! I’ve always loved this idea, and it’s what makes me feel like even though I’ll be gone and forgotten someday, everything that is *currently* me, will still exist, just in other forms and other parts of this universe. My body may die, I may lose all of my memories of this time here on earth, but every bit of me, down to the atoms, will never cease to exist. I find my own kind of comfort in that.
I love Brian Cox. Truly love that basic philosophical question. Interestingly, the universe, in one of its attempts to understand itself, I said in ONE of it's attempts, is to imagine that there's a creator/s behind everything--from those forces that produced the cosmic soup and into the expanding universe that would continue for thrillions of years more. We are indeed atoms that gained consciousness and atoms that will again join the cosmic dust in a blip. This quest for understanding is fascinating. I'm all for the journey, even for a very, very brief moment.
Since it is human beings who invent notions like "Universe" and "infinite", it is actually the mind that is talking about itself. Words are good for giving ourselves the illusion that we grasp what we are talking about.
It’s profoundly simple. We are simply children of the stars. We are literally Stardust, a recipe that’s been cooking for since the beginning of time. That’s why everybody can look up at the sky at night and feel a connection to the stars. Is because it’s where we came from. And in a speck of time, we will lose this conscious physical form, and our bodies will rejoin the universe. Every beginning comes from an end..
Wow, that is the best depiction of how I feel in this human body bag. This blew my mind so simple and so true. Who is this gentleman? I would love to learn from him & hear more of what he has to say. 🤯 💫
@@imper3310🤣🤣🤣👏💀 Imagine being his wife, just waking up in the middle of the night, rolls over to snuggle her husband and he's just ALL toothy grinning with his eyes closed! That alone is funny to visualize to me, but then I hear her startled noise (cause she just woke up, right? No one's ready for all that) and she kinda makes a "oh!" Jump noise. Than HIS EYES FLASH OPEN! with a cinematic-like impact noise on que! She goes "AH!" and he just whispers into the windows of her soul, "we ARE the universe Sarah" Sarah: "AAAHHHHHHH!" 😂🤣😂🤣💀💀💀🤙🏽
But isn't that scary too? We weren't built to comprehend these things fully, this is all just here with lots of space for no reason that we know of. No creator that we know for sure of. No place that we or our loved ones will surely go once we meet our end here. Being a product of the universe itself just feels like nihilism with no greater meaning.
The universe is not infinite. It is in fact finite. An example of that is that the universe is expanding. This proves that the universe is finite, because it had to start at one point to be able to expand. If the universe was infinite then it would be… well infinite, and we wouldn’t be able to tell that it is indeed expanding. So if what I just said is true(that the universe is expanding) then I have discredited everything he said and you should have no business listening to him.
Unfortunately, our ability to reason does not make us better than any other animal or species... Probably makes us worst actually, considering what we've done to nature and the planet.
That's the ego, the ego is the only thing that separates "us" from "others" around us. We create the significance amongst ourselves. We are one consciousness constructed to experience ourselves.
If no mind was here to ponder the universe, it would still expand and evolve, without us , its sad to think mankind's ego could end all that , im content to believe a creator watches over his flower garden,and sooner or later hes coming to pull the weeds 🙏
This feels like a reverse existential crisis to me. It feels like it lifts a weight off of you. Death really doesn't matter if you are still part of the universe. You are still atoms, just arranged in a different way.
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeepstop. Everyone is delusional. they’re delusional for not accepting something that has no proof, no evidence of existing or of not existing. And you’re delusional for accepting said thing as fact. Get over it and learn for yourself don’t just accept Brian Cox hasn’t accepted, he’s gone out and looked for the answers, tried to learn as much as he can, and you’ll call him an idiot and absurd for having all the evidence and proof because it contradicts your beliefs?
@@NaughtyFox1331 Wrong. The universe is inherently coherent, this alone tells us there must be a God. The universe had a full start, thus requires a first cause, energy cannot be created or destroyed. It's only logical to default to the position the evidence points towards which is God, than not. Without saying Atheists want to assert cause and effect doesn't exist in the one singular instance of the start of the big bang to do away with the need for God, the first cause. Mankinds most proven knowledge the space time theorems have told us there must be a God. Borde and Vilenkin took Hawking and Penrose work on classic general relativity and expanded it as far as possible with 5 papers in an attempt to disprove the Big Bang and it's Christian implications and concluded "all reasonable cosmic models are subject to the relentless grip of the space-time theorems." They gave examples where you wouldn't need an absolute beginning to space and time but in such models you wouldn't have life. So there has to be a causal agent(God) beyond space and time. But are they a personal "God"(intelligent, caring) or "something else." Fine tuning evidence tells us the causal agent is a personal God. So we logically have God, that is a personal in nature. So an easy test is which faith gives us a big bang, fine tuned universe of an intelligent caring God. Only Christianity nothing else comes close religious nor scientific in all of human history. The big bang is uniquely a biblical concept. Science has advanced to a point we know now life is based on an immaterial concept, information, found in DNA. There is no physical process or naturalistic phenomenon that can produce such communicative information. A mind is required. Life requires God. Rationality does not come from irrationality, the burden of proof is on those who say it does. The universe is inherently coherent. Christianity claims God the Word created everything by transfer of information. Rationality does not come from irrationality, the burden of proof is on those who say it does the naturalist. Naturalism and by extension evolutionary theory is based on a mechanism that does not exist. And such a deus ex machina mechanism will never exist because if you can get rationality from irrationality at that point personhood ceases to exist, the universe did everything, all achievements of all mankind mean nothing. That's why the multiverse theory is so patently ridiculous. So yes it is total delusional and fantasy by those who refuse to acknowledge the absolute need this universe requires of a God. God has to exist. Christianity and Intelligent Design is the model that birthed modern science. The naturalistic model is a failure and hindrance to scientific progress also and should be thrown out at this point. We tried it and it doesn't work and never will and the gaps and issues have only grown exponentially while the intelligent design model has been the reverse and what birthed modern science after all anyways. Time to get back to our roots.
Except, as Cox can explain, the ghost part is imaginary. If there were a ghost or soul animating your body, it would have to be a yet unknown form of energy that interacts powerfully with matter, and (if you want it to survive the body’s death) is not subject to entropy.
- *Hydrogen* 💫 was made from the very first particles, at the very beginning of time... counting from the big bang... - when the universe was only a few hrs old... & cooled down... Hydrogen was about *89% of everything* ...🌌 - then, the stars used it to create everything else through fusion...🌟 - the speck... the smallest element... is the most significant... the universe's building block... *without it, nothing else would've existed...* 🌑
Your body is WHAT you are. Your mind is WHO you are. Every person is like a neuron. Individually we cannot accomplish much. However, when we organize like the neurons in our brains, what we can accomplish grows exponentially. This is why a few dozen corporations can control a planet of almost ten billion people.

It’s profoundly simple. We are simply children of the stars. We are literally Stardust, a recipe that’s been cooking for since the beginning of time. That’s why everybody can look up at the sky at night and feel a connection to the stars. Is because it’s where we came from. And in a speck of time, we will lose this conscious physical form, and our bodies will rejoin the universe. Every beginning comes from an end..
Wow, that is the best depiction of how I feel in this human body bag. This blew my mind so simple and so true. Who is this gentleman? I would love to learn from him & hear more of what he has to say. 🤯 💫
Physicist Brian Cox. Plenty of videos of him on RUclips.
Brian even smiles when he sleeps
nightmare fuel.
@@imper3310🤣🤣🤣👏💀
Imagine being his wife, just waking up in the middle of the night, rolls over to snuggle her husband and he's just ALL toothy grinning with his eyes closed! That alone is funny to visualize to me, but then I hear her startled noise (cause she just woke up, right? No one's ready for all that) and she kinda makes a "oh!" Jump noise. Than HIS EYES FLASH OPEN! with a cinematic-like impact noise on que! She goes "AH!" and he just whispers into the windows of her soul, "we ARE the universe Sarah"
Sarah: "AAAHHHHHHH!"
😂🤣😂🤣💀💀💀🤙🏽
Enjoy your life and feel good about yourself. If there is one thing for sure it’s that you are so unique in the unimaginably large universe.
The idea that the Universe is exploring itself gives me goosebumps
Sounds like an atheists religion.
He replaced “God” with “Universe”. You may as well become religious
But it's not exploring itself. It has no awareness of its existence. It just does what it does because that's what it was made to do.
@@Nameenteredby whom?
This guy is sublime
The universe is a means of how we understand ourselves not the other way round
More of Brian Cox.
Much less of de Grasse Tyson.
Thats literally what I was thinking watching this.
AMEN BROTHER
de Grasse Tyson would argue endlessly why this is a bad choice.
Please don't say that. They're both magnificent.
@@KURDinEXILEHell no. Tyson is insufferable.
Healing esp with that voice 😅
Collectively, we are the consciousness of the universe! ❤
I needed to hear this today.
This literally made my existential crisis horror vanishes like a snap.
I am the universe manifested into living organism thinking what universe is
But isn't that scary too? We weren't built to comprehend these things fully, this is all just here with lots of space for no reason that we know of. No creator that we know for sure of. No place that we or our loved ones will surely go once we meet our end here. Being a product of the universe itself just feels like nihilism with no greater meaning.
It's not scary to me at all. It makes me feel like im part of something, which we all are .@@Isaistr8
He really truly is one of the best science communicators out there
Now here's Paul with the weather
PLEASE someone remake Babylon 5.
"The universe broke itself into pieces, in order to learn and understand itself."
The universe is not infinite. It is in fact finite. An example of that is that the universe is expanding. This proves that the universe is finite, because it had to start at one point to be able to expand. If the universe was infinite then it would be… well infinite, and we wouldn’t be able to tell that it is indeed expanding. So if what I just said is true(that the universe is expanding) then I have discredited everything he said and you should have no business listening to him.
In other words, we are the most significant thing in existence
Things we know of…
Perhaps. More likely that we are no more or less than any other part of the universe.
Unfortunately, our ability to reason does not make us better than any other animal or species... Probably makes us worst actually, considering what we've done to nature and the planet.
That's the ego, the ego is the only thing that separates "us" from "others" around us. We create the significance amongst ourselves. We are one consciousness constructed to experience ourselves.
If no mind was here to ponder the universe, it would still expand and evolve, without us , its sad to think mankind's ego could end all that , im content to believe a creator watches over his flower garden,and sooner or later hes coming to pull the weeds 🙏
‘We are the universe trying to understand itself’
Incredible
Brian Cox gives people existential crises in the most calming way
This feels like a reverse existential crisis to me. It feels like it lifts a weight off of you. Death really doesn't matter if you are still part of the universe. You are still atoms, just arranged in a different way.
😂😂😂
I could listen to Brian all day… absolute legend
Brilliant that answers things very clearly
Genius 😈
Why the devil face?
Never has there been a more condensed statement that contains the entire universe and our existence... 😮
we are so insignificant but significant 🥺😊
The Universe uses us to understand itself.
-Azusa
Patently nonsensical and absurd though. A fantasy of grand delusion sought by those who deny God the creator of the universe.
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeepstop. Everyone is delusional. they’re delusional for not accepting something that has no proof, no evidence of existing or of not existing. And you’re delusional for accepting said thing as fact. Get over it and learn for yourself don’t just accept
Brian Cox hasn’t accepted, he’s gone out and looked for the answers, tried to learn as much as he can, and you’ll call him an idiot and absurd for having all the evidence and proof because it contradicts your beliefs?
@@NaughtyFox1331 Wrong. The universe is inherently coherent, this alone tells us there must be a God. The universe had a full start, thus requires a first cause, energy cannot be created or destroyed. It's only logical to default to the position the evidence points towards which is God, than not.
Without saying Atheists want to assert cause and effect doesn't exist in the one singular instance of the start of the big bang to do away with the need for God, the first cause.
Mankinds most proven knowledge the space time theorems have told us there must be a God. Borde and Vilenkin took Hawking and Penrose work on classic general relativity and expanded it as far as possible with 5 papers in an attempt to disprove the Big Bang and it's Christian implications and concluded "all reasonable cosmic models are subject to the relentless grip of the space-time theorems." They gave examples where you wouldn't need an absolute beginning to space and time but in such models you wouldn't have life. So there has to be a causal agent(God) beyond space and time. But are they a personal "God"(intelligent, caring) or "something else." Fine tuning evidence tells us the causal agent is a personal God. So we logically have God, that is a personal in nature. So an easy test is which faith gives us a big bang, fine tuned universe of an intelligent caring God. Only Christianity nothing else comes close religious nor scientific in all of human history. The big bang is uniquely a biblical concept. Science has advanced to a point we know now life is based on an immaterial concept, information, found in DNA. There is no physical process or naturalistic phenomenon that can produce such communicative information. A mind is required. Life requires God. Rationality does not come from irrationality, the burden of proof is on those who say it does. The universe is inherently coherent. Christianity claims God the Word created everything by transfer of information.
Rationality does not come from irrationality, the burden of proof is on those who say it does the naturalist. Naturalism and by extension evolutionary theory is based on a mechanism that does not exist. And such a deus ex machina mechanism will never exist because if you can get rationality from irrationality at that point personhood ceases to exist, the universe did everything, all achievements of all mankind mean nothing. That's why the multiverse theory is so patently ridiculous.
So yes it is total delusional and fantasy by those who refuse to acknowledge the absolute need this universe requires of a God. God has to exist. Christianity and Intelligent Design is the model that birthed modern science. The naturalistic model is a failure and hindrance to scientific progress also and should be thrown out at this point. We tried it and it doesn't work and never will and the gaps and issues have only grown exponentially while the intelligent design model has been the reverse and what birthed modern science after all anyways. Time to get back to our roots.
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeephave you found him yet?
@@potatomagnet7070 You commented to wrong person
Brian’s words are always so interesting and help stretch my brain!
I think I'm just gonna give up and go back to bed rest my atoms ⚛️
We are just ghosts wearing a meat-suit made out of stardust.
Except, as Cox can explain, the ghost part is imaginary. If there were a ghost or soul animating your body, it would have to be a yet unknown form of energy that interacts powerfully with matter, and (if you want it to survive the body’s death) is not subject to entropy.
- *Hydrogen* 💫 was made from the very first particles, at the very beginning of time... counting from the big bang...
- when the universe was only a few hrs old... & cooled down... Hydrogen was about *89% of everything* ...🌌
- then, the stars used it to create everything else through fusion...🌟
- the speck... the smallest element... is the most significant... the universe's building block... *without it, nothing else would've existed...* 🌑

His voice is so soothing!!
that we function as well as we do, always surprises and amazes me. My favorite quote: "we are all star stuff".
Your body is WHAT you are.
Your mind is WHO you are.
Every person is like a neuron. Individually we cannot accomplish much. However, when we organize like the neurons in our brains, what we can accomplish grows exponentially.
This is why a few dozen corporations can control a planet of almost ten billion people.
How prophetic... A universe exploring itself... love both these guys
That answer is the start of the spiritual journey
🤗That is the physical world you described, what about the unseen, subtle, formless realms of pure consciousness. That is the realm of the witness state of who we are described by the ancient sages and seers as Reality……….. pure Being beyond the material world…………..✨
Cannot LOVE this guy any more. Incredible mind and communicator of science.
The universe holds the patent over everything. I'm a big fan of Brian!
Thanks for solving all the problems of philosophy in YT short Bri.
