This is traditional physics talk from a physicalistic / materialistic perspective. It assumes that consciousness is a derivative of matter and that stuff exists outside of consciousness. Reality is more likely to be the opposite. Check out from eg Donald Hoffman or Bernardo Kastrup why consciousness may well be a fundamental property. All of reality that we know of is inside our consciousness. The nature of reality is mind and not matter. This is, in my view, a more viable hypothesis to build on than the materialistic hypothesis.
Perhaps. And perhaps not. But if we can't conceive that consciousness, then this is, by definition, a non falsifiable hypothesis, i.e. has no value, tells un nothing.
If there is a multiverse it doesn’t mean intelligent life cannot form in a different multiverse bubble, it just means we probably couldn’t live there due to different physics however a different sort of life form or even an intelligent life form could evolve in that universe the way we did here on earth, unfortunately we’ll probably never know.

Whilst meditating, an entity who self identifies as Mother Earth, informs me that She is like an organic space ship who can travel the cosmos to wherever she chooses. Quite literally.
This boils down to the fine-tuning problem, and the multiverse theory does not negate this problem. It just pushes the problem further away. Whatever gives rise to a multiverse to exist would need to be fine-tuned. No matter how far you push the problem away, fine-tuning will be fundamental at some point.
@@m_christine1070 I’m certainly open to simulation theory as a potential possibility. Scientifically, it is currently just a theory that happens to fit much of what we don’t know, so on the face of it, as far as proof, I see there’s some way to go before we can say this with any degree of certainty, I definitely wouldn’t rule it out as a potential just yet though.

The image shows the clouds as cartoon style characters, and the branches/leaves on a tree, showed digital art style depictions of dog heads, all facing in one direction, all different varieties. About a year ago I bought a $25 pair of bak4 lens binoculars on Amazon. When I view my backyard, house, trees, dogs, etc...the images are two dimensional. Like, flat, artificial, and they are stacked, to create depth. The images themselves , thru the binocs, are realistic, but still detectable artificial. Example: When I stand three feet away from my backyard tree, and compare the view, with and without binoculars; the view thru binoculars the image appears as flat , stacked; and the texture looks almost real but not completely natural, when compared with viewing the same tree without binoculars, from the same distance away.... Where the image thru my visual perception, appears natural, and clearly, is 3 dimensional. A few months ago, I bought a thermal camera. When I zoom in on any picture taken with the thermal camera, it shows pixel art cartoon images , like super hero or super villains type characters, scattered in the image. The picture itself, is fractals. Endless fractals. If I zoom in on a particular portion of the picture. And repeat, take screenshot, then zoom in on screenshot...the fractals never end.

Science is a way of thinking. Every way of thinking has its own rules. The rules can be logically self-consistent OR logically inconsistent. Inconsistent in ways that make no sense either in meaning or reasoning or observation but yet have contextual validity. In other words thinking in certain ways, as opposed to other ways, validates the intention of that way of thinking. There is a core context that consistently shows up.

Consciousness can only be aware of itself, and thus exist, through being conscious of something. So the universe had to be created for this purpose, if nothing more. Is reality a symptom of consciousness or vice versa?

It seems we are handicapped to some extent by not knowing what forms of life are possible, the cellular or multicellular form of which we are a part might not make of special at all, there maybe other forms of life that are not cell based that could be more advantageous and more special.
The human universe: Was the cosmos made for us? For millennia, we humans have thought of ourselves as a pretty big deal. Then along came science and taught us how insignificant we are. Or so we thought Was the cosmos made for humans? Sam Chivers But maybe we were too hasty to write ourselves off. There is a sense in which we are still the centre of the universe. Science also teaches us that the laws of physics are ridiculously, almost unbelievably, “fine-tuned” for you and me. Take the electromagnetic force. It has a value that is perfectly set for getting stars to bind protons and neutron to create carbon - the building block of life as we know it. Or the strong nuclear force, which binds the insides of protons and neutrons. If it were even a tiny bit stronger, the whole world would be made of hydrogen; if it were weaker, there would be no hydrogen at all. In either case, life as we know it wouldn’t be possible. Even the amount of energy contained in empty space seems perfectly set to allow intelligent life to flourish. That’s not all. All told, about 12 parameters have been identified as being just right for life. Why is the universe so perfect? Most physicists now argue that in some sense, it could not have been otherwise. That reasoning has given rise to several different answers known as “anthropic principles”. One end of the spectrum puts us truly back in the centre. This extreme anthropic principle posits that the universe is so perfect that it must have been made for us, either by an intelligent creator or, more likely, because of some fundamental feature of the cosmos that drives it towards intelligent life. In his book The Goldilocks Enigma, Paul Davies, a cosmologist at Arizona State University, tentatively suggests the possibility that life could be a law of nature. He calls it the “life principle”, although he admits it is verging on the theological. Most physicists have no time for ideas like this. “To say that this is all for us? That is just completely bizarre,” says Sean Carroll, a cosmologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Perhaps, then, it is the other way round: according to another formulation of the anthropic principle, the universe only exists because we do. We conjure it up with our consciousness Some less mind-bending versions of the principle are also available. They try to explain why the universe would appear perfectly made for us, even if it isn’t. In a nutshell, this weak anthropic principle says that given that we are around to observe the universe, it simply has to allow for our existence. This is often taken to imply that there are other regions of the universe - or even other universes - where physical laws and constants are different. So asking why things are this way amounts to asking why we are in this region. In that case, the anthropic principle is merely pointing out that places that are hospitable to our kind of life are the only places we can possibly be. This line of reasoning has been bolstered by the possible existence of a multiverse, versions of which emerge from both quantum mechanics and standard cosmology. With lots of other universes, each with their own physical constants and laws, the mystery of our own fine-tuned universe evaporates. We can only be in one that is fine-tuned for carbon-based life. But even if this version of the anthropic principle explains fine-tuning, it still restores us to some of our former (self-appointed) glory by putting human observers firmly back into our description of the cosmos. “If you want to explain the universe that we see, the very fact that we are seeing it is part of that explanation,” says Davies. “It is a bit of a U-turn in the history of science that has been removing the observer from the picture altogether.”
A probability of a universe with such mind blowing accuracy and diversity without conscious mind behind it is like finding a boing plane with it's complexity in the desert thinking it's a product of chaotic nature actions ... P.s I am an atheist so no I don't mean the notorious imaginary G.O.D by conscious mind
The deeper, more relevant question is: "Must consciousness contain the universe?" The answer is no. The proof is that in dreamless sleep the world is not (from the first person perspective; the only one there is) and yet you must exist. It is impossible for both the world and the Self to not exist, and as the world arises and passes within consciousness as a natural result of the circadian rhythm, the Self must be fundamental and the world, derivative. Death is simply a larger scale cycle of the same process. As is the upcoming extinction of the human species a larger scale than the ego death of a person.
@@MarkLucasProductions Some people love to fantasize and present is as THE truth. I don't understand what is going on in their minds. It is such weird behavior.
The Universe doesn’t exist without consciousness…this isn’t some woo woo misuse of quantum randomness. What I mean is that existence doesn’t matter (doesn’t exist) without a consciousness to perceive it.
That can't be true. It's easy to feel that way or to intuit such a thing but there is no way it can be true unless there is some way it can make sense.
@@MarkLucasProductions the most basic thing that makes sense is that a reality without observes is basically not existing. Really "reality" had this fundamental feature "by chance" ?
We are both. Our life on Earth adapted to our environment. This is what all life would do in every other Universe. Then there would be the survival of the fittest that would determine what survives, then DNA would alter that life form to add or remove traits helpfull for its3 survival. Life only has one purpose, survival. Then we alst determine that our creation was rare, but in the same breath trillions of other galaxies and Universes have near identical chances of life and it's survival.
The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence-Nikola Tesla.

the question is tautologically: since we can see ourselves in the mirror (at least some of us) the Universe can ( and we did create with our brains a new universe already called computer - both just reflecting each other as the Universe does...

If it can happen it must happen
Could anthropic principle be more about time, with Copernican principle being more about space?
Take notice he said " The Theory of Everything- (When we finally get it)
😉 ....Science is GOD!
WHERE IS THE INTRO MUSIC???
The Universe doesn’t exist without consciousness…this isn’t some woo woo misuse of quantum randomness. What I mean is that existence doesn’t matter (doesn’t exist) without a consciousness to perceive it.
absolutely true ...can we conceive a reality made of some rocks running around some balls of energy ...and ...no one even watching it ?
That can't be true. It's easy to feel that way or to intuit such a thing but there is no way it can be true unless there is some way it can make sense.
@@MarkLucasProductions the most basic thing that makes sense is that a reality without observes is basically not existing. Really "reality" had this fundamental feature "by chance" ?
Whatever the truth, it is impossible to believe it all came from nothing and created itself.
We are both. Our life on Earth adapted to our environment. This is what all life would do in every other Universe. Then there would be the survival of the fittest that would determine what survives, then DNA would alter that life form to add or remove traits helpfull for its3 survival. Life only has one purpose, survival. Then we alst determine that our creation was rare, but in the same breath trillions of other galaxies and Universes have near identical chances of life and it's survival.
of course
Good one.
Wrong person to ask the great question 🙄
Then are you?
We can onlu conclude that WE exist.....
The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence-Nikola Tesla.
Woo woo
@@N0Xa880iUL Geology sounds woo woo to my 4 year old cute child. I tell him to grow up. So you do the same please;Grow up!!
@@soubhikmukherjee6871 Nonsense analogy
The science that does this is called "Meditation." Physics, by definition can't go there.
Since "non-physical" simply means "imaginary", I have been making tons of "progress" ever since I was born; so have everyone else.
The good thing is that I eventually realized how pointless such "progress" is, and quit wasting my time; hope others will come to the same conclusion. 😏
The universe is created, maintained and ultimately destroyed. Only consciousness can evolve... and devolve.
the question is tautologically: since we can see ourselves in the mirror (at least some of us) the Universe can ( and we did create with our brains a new universe already called computer - both just reflecting each other as the Universe does...
Consciousness is the Universe! No Consciousness, no Universe.
And the Bible doesn't call us both? you ain't taking this and getting this from the Bible at all? Special and not special, heaven and hell, pride and humbleness. To choose to be special or choose not to be special. Have a softened heart or a hardened heart.

Also galaxies, stars and planets that do not have life

The Cosmos could be a brain much like ours.
Lol assumptions upon assumptions, are these the best minds of our time?😂
No, but they’re good at getting corporate and government grants.
Lot's of mights happening here....
No
Simple answer : no
Baseless discussion . Phiscs fundament Not explains mult Universe. It is hipotesy. Brazenly liar. Tautoligy rethoric from dishonest guy. In other words anti scientif. Abusive chalatan.
It 'was' nonsense I think. but I don't see that it called for such accusations. I love the way you spell - That's how I used to spell until late in my adulthood.
This doesn't say anything.
ah those times in which people believed in string theory and multiverses !!
This is so horribly mistitled it’s frustrating
DIFFERENT UNIVERSE TOTAL BS
I think most people (including cosmologists) would agree with you but they talk about multiple universes just because they have a theory about what might have been responsible for 'this' our universe.
Here is a simple scientific experiment for the couch-locked "explorers of truth", sometimes known as "philosophers": pick something you know absolutely nothing about, for example, a computer, and see if you can figure out how it works and what it is made of simply by thinking about it for a long long time.
Let me know how far you get, brainiacs. LOL
Best comment I've seen on any of the videos on this channel!
No. There was no consciousness in the universe for billions of years.
