+Roedy Green They probably don't have the consciousness to know that the same will apply to them, yet still feel sadness for the loss of a friend/family.
+MrZapparin Dumb is relative though, right? I mean it depends on how you're defining dumb. If akiman23 23 is basing his assessment off of cognitive abilities such as abstract thinking, problem solving, self contemplation, creativity, and using your average human as the standard, then yes most animals are dumb. I love my dog, she's incredibly sweet and I believe she has strong affection for myself and my family, but when comparing intellect I would have to say she's dumb; maybe not by dog standards, but I'm not a dog and I'm making the assessment so I'm using my own standards.
I liked how I clicked on this upload wanting to know what Kaku's opinion on life after death was... only to hear him say, "I need more evidence." Then he drifts off on to another topic pondering just how old earth really is. Lol
Dr Kaku is a scientist who needs physical proof, however he needs to address the non physical information from many believable sources that seem to open cracks in the mystery of this temporary life. Near death experiences, psychic abilities, first hand reports of UFO and alien visitations etc. All have the ability to change our perceptions of reality.
When he says - he needs more proof - it means he is tending towards existence if afterlife. But my strong logic for afterlife is that when we all are existing as individuals for once then why can't it be for twice, thrice and more and for always in lot of frequencies. Yes, it can repeat again and again.
im a christian and i admire his outlook. he isnt mocking or screaming yet he shows facts and leaves it open at the end. no matter what ur religion is or if you dont have one at all gotta show respect. love it!
+MyworstEnemy Yeah that's truth but, what if they have methodologies to find out things you cannot possibly know without such methodologies? not that i'm one of them, i'm like the person next door.
ThisIsRTSThree999 If these methodologies are genuine, then they will they will know what we don't currently know and that's great. Life or existence after death is a tough one. Unless we have methodologies that lead to talking to dead people, I believe this will remain unknown lol.
+MyworstEnemy Oh please. No one knows anything by the strictest philosophical standards. Thankfully no one uses those standards...unless desperately defending a religion they were brought up on. You don't even have to ask complicated questions to debunk ideas about heaven: How big is it? How many people are there? How do people get around? Are there chairs? If so, does that mean people get tired in heaven? Do you need to sleep? Is it ever dark? Is it warm? Is it cold? What if I like 70 degrees and you like 60? Do people wear clothes? Do they wear the same clothes every day? If naked, do you become perfectly fit? Can you opt to have more or less hair on your body? How old are you when you get there? When infants die, do they stay in an infantile state? Do you have to eat? It's pretty obvious that heaven is a fantasy conjured up to protect you from fear of dying. It's nonsense, and you shouldn't believe it's true for the same reason you shouldn't believe that Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are documentaries.
@@shadrachemmanuel1720 No God is not a human construct. You didn't put yourself here, You don't hold the key to immortality, You're not going to Mars; You are severely LIMITED. Your IDEA...of what you...THINK...its "supposed to be", is what is the human construct. Your problem is you think just because you've read a few books, and have a few favorite television personalities teaching your science to you, as arrogant as you are, you quickly start thinking you just know everything, or have some kind of priveleged "right" to bully the religious. But the reality is, Religion in fact goes way over your head, just as much as it does the religious. Your belief in, or hopes of, Aliens, or other habitable worlds, is no different than one's pursuit of God or 'Heaven'. Its merely a high hope of someone saving you, from making your best effort to save yourself.
+Rob Bowes lol Had guys like you lived in usher's day, you'd believe that stuff just as firmly as you believe whatever you believe now ... whatever the status quo says. You have no idea what BS you believe today. Go fuck your selves, hypocrats.
I really apprieciate how he tries to be for the most part an unbiased observer. when he is speaking on fundamentalist creationism he points out how it is flawed with straight facts, but when it comes to the after-life he shows that while he won't believe something that hasn't been proven he does seem open to the idea. I have also seen him in some talks of god, and he never seems to try to be completely for or against. I feel Michio Kaku is a great educator in that he always shows facts to what we know for certain, but never tries to shove beliefs (ideas that are made to fill in gaps between facts) down our throats, and this is why I have so much respect for him.
That's my biggest problem, as far as a Orator. Listening to false information taken as Facts . And trying not to reply in a nefarious manner . An obvious failure on my understanding.
He's a great scientist. He's got immense knowledge of several different scientific subjects. He's a great writer and storyteller too. I respect his opinions.
+Gavin Snyder Impossible. The only thing NJ is good for is being jealous of their neighbors. They couldn't manage a crap factory if they were surrounded by taco bells.
***** Religion has historically promoted division and violence between peoples. Atheism is merely a lack of religious belief, not a gang or army that engages in aggressive proselytization in pursuit of social control. Conservative religions use law to force non-members to conform. I don't march under any banners, I'm not a Communist, and I don't want to convert anyone by force, as christianity and islam have done for centuries.
***** Religion has been the cause of many wars-- don't you even pay attention to today's headlines? It's as if your addiction to the personal pleasure that religion gives you causes you to ignore the reality of its harm.
***** Most wars being fought to day are religious. Supernatural beliefs cripples rational judgment and bring savage emotions to the fore. As the poet said, "The sleep of Reason causes monsters to be born."

"Speaking as a scientist I think that there is a problem with regards to the after life and religious immortality and that is there is no proof that it exists. Remarkable claims require remarkable proof. But maybe you don't need proof. Well, I do." I love this guy!
fardinaula123 Thank you, I have researched the texts of all three of the monotheist Abrahamic religions, The Old Testament, The New Testament AND the Quran. There is one thing that a rational person can be certain of and that is that every person and any text that claims knowledge of, proof of, or answers to "all things in the universe" is wrong about that assertion 100% of the time. "Who is more humble; the scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and nevermind the falibility of all the human beings involved in the writing of this book?" -Dr. Carl Sagan
rdingo1 The subject of Quran is to introduce God to all human beings of all times places cultures languages, fields etc.scientists are extremely tiny fraction of that. Quran is supposed to introduce God to us and teach us the good way of life so that we live successfully on earth and hearafter. in doing so Quran states some facts about earth, universe and human life and other things around us. So far not a single fact has been proved wrong by any scientist, on the contrary many scientists have embraced Islam when came across those facts. Maurice Bucaille is one of them. That proves truth of religion and God.
Saqib Khan The problem with your statement is that you could have easily substituted the word "Quran" with "Old Testement" and made the same case for the Jewish faith. You could also have substitued the word "Quran" with "New Testament" and made the same case for the Christian faith. Here inlies the problem: all Abrahamic religions suggest that Allah / Yahweh / God is, at best, a coy and fickle being, or at least our limited interpretation does. These religions cannot seem to get along with themselves among different sects let alone coexisting with each other; Reformed Judaism -vs- Orthodox Judaism, Catholic -vs- Protestant, Sunni -vs- Shiite. I believe that we ALL have historically brought great shame to our faith and dishonor to ourselves in the way that we have treated each other. Muhammad, Moses and Jesus were ALL sons of Abraham. They are brothers! I believe that they would see our behavior towards each other as an utter disgrace, as abject evil, and all done in their name. Shame, shame, shame on all of us! I believe that our creator cares most about how we treat each other and all of creation than how we practice our ridiculous man-made dogmas. This is the truest test of our worthiness in the eyes of our creator. We are ALL chosen people because we were all born on this beautiful blue spec of dust. When will come the day that we can all honestly and truly honor Allah / Yahweh / God with the greatest homage that we humans could possibly offer; with respect towards each other, as Father Abraham teaches? When shall we denounce those among us who disgrace by preaching literalism, hate, bigotry, intolerance, misogyny, territorialism and violence? Our greatest honor, our greatest homage should be that of PEACE! Could we start today? "All you need is love!" -JWL -Peace & respect to you.
Well, this week that ebola epidemic was just eradicated. Thanks to science. What your gods and churches did to solve that problem? nothing than wish a good luck. You criticize science but you always can count on it to save your ass EVERYDAY. So, how do you think the food that sustain your life and the life of billions of people came from? god and his nature? wrong, because nature can't provide millions of tons of food naturally, so guess what? science again. your computer, car, house, and even your birth, everything today is only possible because of science. That's why I have more respect for it than I have for religions and you should do the same.
If your brain is a little bit damaged, your thinking is a little bit impaired. If your brain is severely damaged your thinking and physiology will be severely impaired. BUT, once that brain has turned to mush in the grave you get to this state of super awareness. Anyone buying?
cristop5 Conscious function is the same for everyone regardless of intelligence. Consciousness is not a result of the brain. The brain just interfaces the consciousness with the physical world. The quality of the interfacing can degrade or be altered but the conscious willful being is the same just what changes is the experience. The biological body with the brain are just tools to operate and experience the physical world and the experience itself is not the same as the soul or the conscious mind. Don't confuse the experience with the experiencer. Don't confuse the brain processing power and memories with the mind's ability to make willful decisions. Just like the user of computer software and the software itself are two separate things is the same way that the conscious willful mind is different than the biological brain.
Boris Alfaro No one can prove it either way. I recognize that but secular scientists like to think they have proven something they have not. Scientists like to throw around that "fact" word when all they really have is a claim or guess.
They have and that's how humans advance. You can't advance in anything if there isn't proof that your statement is true. When someone says something to be true you better be prepared to show evidence. Truth is not bias. Truth stays true no matter who or what is observing. If you state something and cannot prove it you either do not have no evidence, not stating the truth, or delusional.
Boris Alfaro you are confusing a claim with truth. They claim something to be fact and truth when it has been far from proven. You can advance simply by more evidence/data. The existing evidence and data on old ages is far from resulting in any truths as they are very lacking in their modules and have been left to use many assumptions.
“Time is But a mere illusion.” -Albert Einstein Personally, I don’t believe there was a beginning because you need time in order for it to begin. I believe this is just something our minds cannot accept. That we live in and infinite universe. I mean the cosmos almost prove it really.
Time isn't mere illusion, he too was reluctant in accepting the universe is not static, yet there it was expanding. What you are implying is giving the attributes of God to Universe to begin with(irrational illogical attributes that only suit god) and mind accepts it
@JaySR, I came UP with the same opinion of US living in an infinite UNIVERSE. Concrete example, is the OLD CIVILISATION in EGYPT a time CAME when everything was covered UP with DESERT SAND and every KNOWLEDGE was LOST. To me the SOLE CREATOR erases and restart everything on EARTH as HE PLEASES giving us cruelty to question OUR PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE as HUMANS. I'm SURE the RECLYING will be SOON because WE ARE TRYING TO DIG DEEP D INTO THE THE WHOLE EXISTENCE OF THE EARTH.
We don't have a soul. We are the soul. The body lives and dies. We do not. Now is the time for us to wake up to this reality and start focusing on why we agreed to come here in the first place.
I am Greek and from my 35 years I have converted from atheism to orthodox Christians. I agree with you that it is sad when some are trying to commercialize religion or ideology, or try to impose their faith in schools or society. I know there are many Christian approaches to America. I have been informed enough before accepting Orthodoxy.

That's an erroneous statement; if there isn't life after death we wouldn't "know" that's the case because we would lack the mental faculties that would allow such observations.
That's nice. If he's an eloquently spoken misguided fool I guess you're signing up for pleasantly sounding false beliefs as well? Just a theory but I doubt the physicists and the science folks just as much as the bible thumpers. Everyone thinks they know but few admit they know nothing.
Setting aside the creationism claims in the Book of Genesis, I’ve found that most YECs simply have a difficult time accepting the idea of 4.5bil years, because, to them, it sounds too far-fetched; and they’ll often deride the idea of a timescale so vast. The problem is, the timescale we use as humans - years - is essentially arbitrary (aside from the obvious fact that it takes a 365.25 days to orbit the sun). Let’s say we lived on Jupiter, which takes 12 earth years to complete one full orbit around the sun. If we used the Jovian orbit as a calendar year, the earth would “only” be 375mil years old. If you used Neptune’s calendar year, which year is ~165 earth years, the earth would “only” be 27.3mil years old. The point is, our unit of measurement concerning time is relative, so we have to look at the bigger picture when we hear timescales that range in the billions of years.
@@osiris1102 I think what he's saying is that yes, time itself would be the same, but how we quantify it (in years) is simply a human construct and could differ if we measured years from another planet or the like
We don't know if we have a better understanding of time than animals. It is the arrogance of humans who put themselves on top of everything. The only difference between weed and flowers, is our own judgement.
Where are the animals' government? Utilization of electricity? Cars? Planes? GPS? Space exploration? Schools? Humans intellectually exceed any other animal by miles. You really think its arrogant to think humans' have a better understanding of time, or anything at all, than animals?
PapaKay All your examples show off human intelligence, but Who is to say humans are in fact smarter or have a better perception of time? Is it because we can build atomic bombs and have striped toothpaste? I don't think that is the essential core of the universe, but that is just my opinion. The more we learn about this earth, the more I am baffled by how intelligent our environment is. Recent studies even show communication between plantlife and we merely are scratching the surface of that. There is a whole lot more to this world/universe than we could ever imagine. Again, you judge animals like we judge everything around us and place the human race on top of it all. As I said earlier, the only difference between weed and flowers is our own judgement.

All I can think about is what Homer Simpson once said : "what if we've been praying to and worshipping the wrong God and the REAL God is getting angrier and angrier. So true and funny if you think about it!
That's no diffferent than what fundamentalist would have you think and believe.Homer simpson is satire humor on goofy fundamentalism.If god is god ,omnipotent, genius he she has no reason to ever be angry at anything or anyone.
@@alankuntz6494 Yet the anger of god is mentioned nearly 500 times in the bible and he got so angry once that he flooded the entire earth with water higher than the highest mountains( 29,035 + 22foot ; and that is 22 foot higher than Mt Everest ) And why so high , because there were giants on the earth in those days. it is no surprise that modern man does not take god seriously.
And you believe all this to be so just because somebody said so? I don't get your point? My point is a s*** happens but trying to explain it away by some egotistical anthropomorphic fathead just doesn't cut the mustard. All of this stuff very well could be people's interpretations of what they thought might be God but saying that doesn't mean it's God.
@@alankuntz6494 So in the end we just do not know , and all the gods are merely a human being's conception of god created by the human imagination and their own experience of life and their upbringing by their parents and the current world -view at the time when they lived.
@@peterj6740 Yep, Thats the way i see it.If there is any sane idea of god it's in apophatic contemplative ideas and practices. a constant ceasless question of who am I ? who and what is god, what is not I? , what is not god? neti neti, nada nada shunyata...Nothing you can say about God is God.God is quintessential nothingness and its only in silence that you might be able to hear and understand it ~ Meister Eckhart. Truth is so noble that if God were beside it, i could hold to the truth and let go of God.
Michala W....Has that helped you to believe, that is good because James 2:19...Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But do you believe in His Son who paid the price for your sins, if you do, tell Him, and then be baptized and turn from sin and be a new person in Christ, this will please the Father.
GamerDares Wins yep but its slightly different in what kaku has discovered. An actual entity or particles to support Spinoza god or god of the universe.he understands nothing is random & that we live in a matrix.if the entity exists it would explain the fine tuning of the universe& the maths behind the beauty & order of nature.
One Pilgrim you know what.if Michio kaku did confirm his theory of the Entity, it would convince me scientifically that there was a designer or a force behind all the beauty & order in the universe & nature.the maths behind the beauty / symmetry. .it would explain the fine tuning of the universe which cannot be explained by random processes.it gives one comfort to know there could be something out there guiding it all.
I dont see believing in a God as any more odd than believing everything is made of strings that contain extra dimensions and infinite parallel universes.
Because no one believe String Theory is true. As of now it is just a consistent explanation and it is to be hoped that this theory will make predictions that we can test. Now if String Theory predicts "if you do this experiment you'll find this result" and we do the experiment and find the result, that would be a good confirmation of the theory. It has not been confirmed yet and is just a work in progress for now. So indeed it would be very odd to believe in String Theory, about as odd as believing in God. In that sense I agree with you.
Djorgal Exactly, of course there's much more evidence involving the proof of String Theory than God, and I'm not saying either is true or false, but there still is no proof either way. I find it an incredibly ignorant statement from Mr. Kaku that he says he needs to see to believe there's a God yet all his lifes work is built on something that has yet to be seen.
PatriotAct He doesn't say he believes String Theory is true. He'd like to know and he's working on it. He is actually trying to prove String Theory is wrong and if he succeed in doing so that'd be a great achievement. You make science progress by trying to prove you're wrong.
A friend visits his dying friend and finds him reading a bible. The friend asks, "Bill...wtf? You're an atheist. What are you doing reading the bible? The dying guy says quietly, "I'm looking for loopholes".
I was a creationist once before in my life. I wanted to know that when I died something would continue onward. Eventually, being shown the overwhelming facts against my belief system and swath of information for the other sides, I came to the conclusion that the existence of a deity, as described in most religions, was impossible. That lead me to a change in my life that resulted to where I am today, hoping to one day shape the future of those who will live after me as positively as I can. Science is really the only long term way to forward that cause, as it is proposed that, with sufficiently advanced technology, almost no one would have to die again and their lives while they were alive would be enjoyable. As depressing as it is to know that one day my existence will be quickly pulled from me, it makes me happy to know that I may one day contribute something immensely helpful to the humans that come after myself. That's the reason why I believe most creationists lean the way they do, they do not wish to accept the fact that there is a finite end to life, and I really can't blame them.
Marley Man You have some valid arguments but remember: my faith is based on overwhelming evidence and divine providence. The Holy Spirit should not be taken lightly. Faith is so powerful and much more then the outsider thinks. When one recieves the Holy Spirit in his heart, an entire transformation of mind body and soul occurs. A believer also is opened to the truth, as he receives it and understands it. About all the other religions and cults in the world, tell me one where the leader resurrected from the dead? None of the other cults have the hope and truth that comes from Jesus Christ. The evidence for God is overwhelming for those who see it. The greatest miracle is the fact that we even exist - that there is something and not nothing at all. The fact that we are moving breathing ALIVE coalesced bodies of carbon that can think and speak - and practise ethics and morality. Praise the Lord God Almighty!
Marley Man yeah its late ill take you up on that. Don't forget shroud of turin and the miracle of the surviving church to this day as well as the Bible being worlds bestseller

As soon as I thought that I blew throught the front door and flying over thevtennis courts. Flew for a few seconds and saw a lamp post on what looked like a campus. Was a woman walking near the post and I thought it would be funny to go down and shake the lamp post to scare her. As soon as I thought that, I was back iny body. Next day I.was sitting in the john thinling about what had happened. Looked up and saw a vent on the wall
Better hope not. The existence of a heaven necessitates the existence of a hell where people who don't believe in a heaven end up going regardless of their actions whether good or bad.
I like Michio. He is sublime and soothing and rational and scientific. He, most likely grew up in a house that worshipped Buddha or Shinto as the son of Japanese immigrants. Disproving that the world is only 6000 years old is sort of like learning that Santa Claus isn`t real. The majority of religious minded people understand that. That has very little to do with their belief in afterlife. Faith in afterlife, God, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha is mostly personal and you either have it or you don`t. If you have it, you know that it is real and you don`t require proof. If you needed proof, you could refer to those who have died and returned with their stories of afterlife. If you don`t have it, It will certainly cross your mind during your last breath on earth.
i can see that life is eternal is purely an expression but that expression is not entirely metaphorical. How would you explain reincarnation in terms of science biology. continuation of the species on the planet and evolution.
I was raised Catholic early in my life and at some point I drifted from them to First Baptist for a time. I always understood I had already been baptized as a baby and pretty much figured I'd leave it at that, however since I been attending another church and possibly different doctrine, however I found they were pretty much the same. After attending on and off with the First Baptist I decided to be dunk baptized even though I already knew I was already covered when I was a baby. This happened in 2004 the same year my father fell I'll to cancer and died. I did get a chance to see him a week before he did pass and I'll never forget what he told me while in his room at the v.a. center. He was sitting at the edge of the bed and he kept rolling his oxygen hose up and putting it away and I kept having to tell he wasn't supposed to do that and he should put it back on, otherwise our conversations were pretty much small talk all of a sudden he looked at me and said "son why are you covered in water?" I asked him to explain and he said that my whole body appeared as though it was covered in water and that my sister looked the same way....it turned out that she had gotten dunk baptized too, I know he knew about her baptism but not mine and I asked her if she had said anything about it and she said "honest to God no!" I won't even try to convince anyone here what I believe especially in a room with people who need proof in something that requires surrender and faith. I now believe that people on their death beds are in the process of having their veil lifted or at least my father did and he saw something that we cant see at least till were ready. Some things are forever etched in my mind... I remember when the space shuttle blew up, the world trade center disaster etcetera, and what my father said to me in his last few days left on this earth.
Our sense perception has limits and in this life the physical world we observe comes within it. Like the light outside the visible range or the sound outside the audible range cannot be sensed yet it exists. Our physical brains too have limitations to grasp the afterlife that is proof enough to believing it. To be humbled by the infinite is far better than to believe only in a limited finite existence.
The comment section should be banned for videos like. Too many uneducated and unenlightened people who are eons away from seeing outside of the circle.
I honestly think this is what afterlife feels like. The moment when you’re in a very very deep sleep. The split moment you feel or try to recall from closing your eyes and sleep to just BAM, waking up, that little blank hole of space is what I think death is, which is pretty much a feeling of nothingness. No awareness, no feelings, no dreams, no anything. Think about it.
If you've ever been put under anesthesia, that's what I believe death is. You just never wake up. No dreams, no awareness, no consciousness. Same as before you were born. Non-existence. Our fear of death leads many to believe there must be something after life. What's after life is death, the end. All your fears will be gone because you'll cease to exist.
"Speaking as a scientist I think that there is a problem with regards to the after life and religious immortality and that is there is no proof that it exists. Remarkable claims require remarkable proof. But maybe you don't need proof. Well, I do." Sidenote to this. Every believer started to believe because of a spiritual impact. They all got an inner conviction that God touched their soul personally and a personal relationship with God started. Without that mysteriously started conviction there is no faith. It always starts with the touch of God.
This is a misconception. In the beginning of Genesis, when YHWH or (God) tells (Adam) to be fruitful and multiply, he says to replenish the earth. It also says, the earth was void and without form. And darkness covered the face. my point is, the dirt that composes the earth, and all of the elements, are likely billions of yrs old, if not timeless. What the statement here is, is that the current shape, the current time or age if you will has begun. now there is even a timeframe offered. It says Abraham is born in 1948. The original. like 1948yrs after the fall of man. Then it says in the geneology, that from Abraham to bondage was 14generations, from bondage to exodus was 14 generations and from exodus to messiah was 14 generations. So three sets of generations. A generation being 70yrs, also taken from scripture. So 3*14*70+1948= the time span between Adam and messiah birth. Which is believed to be 3bc. Which would make 2015 the 6900th yr after the fall of man, as of last April. of course they called it Nisan. So, with one week of creation, a day being as 1000yrs, as he says on genesis, that puts 6900 yrs since the fall, and 7000yrs of creation. So 13,900yrs since the earth was without form. There is nothing to say it was not once or more formed before. The translation for earth here was really land. earth means dirt. soil. solid sediment. So technically its not even referring to this planet. Scripturally the planet is Jerusalem. any who ^^, hope that cleared some up. have a good one, and feel free to search and see if you come to the same conclusion ^^, interesting, when Adam fell, he was told he would die that day. Adam freaked out but was reassured a day was 1000yrs. he was recorded to be 930 when he died. So exactly 70yrs shy of 1000. One generation. Later, he says he will cut the time short for the sake of the elect, lest even they fall. well. Adam represents man, right? so exactly 70yrs from the end of this current thousand yrs is 30yrs from now. Makes me wonder if he will cut time that short for man as a whole ^^, I do not know.
"Time" is an infinity grid. For the sake of simplicity, "time" is a measure of change. There is therefore, such a thing, scientifically, as a state of 'timelessness,' which divides 'time quanta' or stated as, 'windows of change,' which is what 'we' are familiar with, so far measured as "Planck time."
You said the magic words. "All religions promise an after life" If religions did not promise that, how popular would they be? People are too afraid to die. Many spend their last dime on anything that might delay the inevitable. Live to the fullest now!
+MILO MANX If a man lives to be 1 or 100 and dies what there is no value in anything he did while alive so the idea of "living life to the fullest" is stupid and short sided in light of eternity.
I always laugh when someone mocks religion and mentions about spending money as if the two are tied together. But the same douche-bag doesn't talk about all of the money he spent to get a piece of @ss.
All these comments below me, arguing about what's true and what's not... Can we all agree that our time is limited? Can we recognize that the more time we spend arguing the less time we have to do what we really want to do? Just really comprehend how valuable your time is--it's the most valuable thing you'll ever have--do you really want to waste the most valuable thing you'll ever have? Will forcing your opinion on someone else really make you that much happier, that it's worth wasting your life doing?
I never reckoned Michio as an outstanding physicist, but he has a knack of representing science pretty well in an understandable way. Another, earlier physicist, Carl Sagan (of 'Cosmos' fame) did it even better. If you've never seen it, It's well worth a look.
Science is only limited to the law in our simulation. Human beings will never cross the boundaries of the simulations to comprehend what is beyond. This is the most fundamental of our game we are playing in ...
It's an expression. when I say it, I don't pretend god is to my right and make eye contact with him saying oh my god, did u see that god. Expressionism

the first 1:00 really made something click in my mind and that is being that once humans evolved the ability to be aware of the fact that one day we would inevitably die so the only way to cope naturally would be to beleive that we live for ever, like every other animal
Skeptics are like a two-dimensional painting that denies the artist that painted it. Their logic? "Because they cannot locate the artist anywhere on the painting, therefore the artist must not exist..."
I consider Dr. Kaku to be one of the most brilliant minds ever. I have nothing but respect for him. I would like to be like him. I rank in the top 1% for science comprehension and have an IQ in the 150 range. He makes me feel like an idiot. I do not fault him for that, I fault the American education system. Any American student who deserves it and qualifies for it should be given free college scholarships. We need to encourage American students to go into science and math courses by stopping the push for football players, etc. We need to encourage students to excel at scholastic achievements even if it means downplaying athletics and special needs students.
the reason you cant find proof Michio Kaku is because you do not want any. your in the dark looking for light but to first see the light you must leave the dark. i used to be a atheist lost in misery and sin then god changed me by his grace through faith in his son jesus christ . sometimes the best way satan turns people away from the truth is to pretend to be a christian causing confusion
For 15 yrs I have seen many people approach death either natural occurrence or unanticipated. Two things are fact. 1. Electricity is used in any attempt to stop the process when necessary. 2. The very last moment is calm, peaceful and surreal.
***** I've seen past what I'm up against. I'm already aware of what I'm up against. Also I said God, so therefore demigods are already out of the question. So, as to what God, I have no idea. God could be anything for all we know. Thus the purpose of faith. Also, I don't necessarily even believe in a God. That understanding may come later in life, but as of now I'm agnostic. If you were even able to comprehend my comment, you would understand that I said God is vague and hard to understand scientifically. And you are making a a huge misunderstanding. "Scientists" combating religion with contradiction to theology isn't scientific in the slightest. That's all opinion versus opinion and logic vs logic. None of which can ever prove that a God does or does not exist. Now what I know to be certain is a life after death after talking with countless people who are able to detach the from the body and travel in a spiritual form which who knows maybe the spirit is a very advanced form of energy which technically could be supported with Einstein's theory if there were collected data. At first I thought this was bullshit because I was an atheist an only believed things I could relate too but then these people started to tell me what was going on in a room without even being in there. I then tried to learn how to do this myself and I've been practicing for roughly 2 years and up until about a 2 weeks ago did I actually have my first minor success.
IvoryStrike astral projection lul. I have tried few but times but it was too time consuming and made me stress. Then I started to believe astral projectors were just doing it for the fame.

To be fair, the old testament states that during the flood, "water burst forth from the earth". A flood at the scale described in the old testament could easily attest for the erosion caused. Don't attack me please. I am simply pointing out an observation.
+Taylor Miller other religions and cultures had historical accounts of a great flood also, whether or not it was caused by God or natural forces is another question.
I love your work and TV appearances professor Kaku, but I must differ with you in your initial statement where you said that only humans had a concept of their limited time on Earth, and therefore, of death. I heard these same kinds of statements where others have said that animals don't have a concept of the future, which makes me wonder why then would a bird prepare for winter, build a nest, or warn other animals of impending danger. Non-human animals have an even deeper understanding (does not have to be intellectual) of their relative time on Earth. Anyone who has raised animals and has a close bond with them, while studying to understand them thoroughly, can realize this. The more I study about non-human animals and interact with them the more I realize that it is us, and not them, who still need to learn from them. In fact, much of what Homo knows about survival have been learned through observing animals in the natural world.
I completely agree with you. Prof Kaku made the classic human error in assuming that only the human race have such an awareness. The depth of soul in our friends from the animal kingdom must not be underestimated.
There was once a captive dolphin who had been so badly treated and experimented on that one day he just sank down to the bottom of his tank and inhaled water and didn’t come up to breathe, he committed suicide .
All things that moves need power. You too moves around freely, what power you? you don't plug in or carry a battery? but you moves! Moves without man made power....amazing !....It is call life!

Do you have any evidence? beside your imagination? I think the universe is a bunch of dudes, laughing at how we think we are the only intelligence in the universe, and there we can't even travel beyond our little galaxy.
If God didnt feel or think. Then you wouldn't EXIST. A good chunk of the Universe was made just so Earth could inhabit LIFE. Look at all the creation around... Flower's, Bird's flying around, Majestic Snow cap mountains, The Grand Canyon, Trees, Grass, Vegetables/Fruit for Food, Water for drinking/fishing for food/cleaning ourselves, The perfect exchange of Oxygen between plants/trees and humans/animals, gravity, and the list goes on and on... if that aint Love and the Expression of I care to provide all these things for your Survival because he cares and your personal experience to all these thing's should bring you to a Great Awakening in your mind to show you that you are unique in this entire universe made for you and everyone else to learn to recognize his Love so that you will in turn learn to Love yourself and others on this short journey and stroll here on earth. Its faaar more complex then you understand it to be. Take 1 element out or lower/raise that element and Life doesn't exist. It all was created with razor sharp precision.
Why does he think that humans are the only animal who knows that our time is limited? I think because of the way animals act, to protect their young, fight for resources and so forth that all animals know that they will die.
@@fraser_mr2009 If you think incredible complexity arose by random occurrence, then ok, but to say that's the most likely cause is pretty much unsupportable.
It's natural for people living in a created world to think they are smarter than the creator. Kinda like ants living in a glass ant farm fighting about whether they existed there forever or if they were " placed there" by something outside their glass jar world
What if God is in another dimension? I really think the Bible says this too us. Many times God is referenced as "all seeing", images in Revelation of having "many eyes", etc. One way to explain this is that God is in a higher dimension than ours. (For example, say a piece of paper was a 2D universe, if you held it far enough, you could see everything on in at once since you're a 3D creature). If God is in another dimension, it would also scientifically explain why he is the Alpha and the Omega, or how he has no beginning and end. In another dimension, time doesn't have to exist! Just my 2 cents.
Shankovich God is omnipresent. He would be in any universe or dimension. He's even in you if you accept the Lord Jesus as your Savior. Actually, the idea of "everlasting to everlasting" or another universe or dimension (someplace other than our world or universe) is not a new idea. It's thousands of years old. ... Psalms 90: 2, "Before the mountains were brought forth , or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God". ... John 14:2, "2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Shankovich That's not a way to explain god at all. You need to demonstrate how this would be possible. That's just you making stuff up. Where in the bible does it mention god exists in a another dimension ? You just made that up. The point is there is no reason to believe any god exists due to the lack of any evidence.
the bible is not a credible source. it is make believe designed to comfort our species and take away from the thought of death allow science and time to reveal the truth
That makes more sense, I mean if the one who gives us life is a mother, not a father. Also, various people who drank Ayahusca, describe hearing a feminine voice speak to them.
Male and female only exist because of sexual reproduction, spirits have no gender. therefore can neither be a male or female , such concept only exists down here.
Sir Michio Kaku, you probably won't believe me, but I had a dog, which was incredibly smart, unusually smart, a thinker. He was not of pure breed, but mixture of many. Anyway, he knew he was going to die and he cried when he was sick. He also knew the day he was going to die and took me for a long walk. I didn't know that he was going to die, so I actually wanted to make the walk shorter, so I sort of forced him to go home with me. He didn't want to enter the door, so I had to force him to do that as well. And then he made himself comfortable, fell asleep and never woke. Then I understood everything that happened during walk and while getting back home. So when you say that we're the only ones who understand that we're going to die one day, I'm afraid, you're not correct. EDIT: I have a strong feeling that all the cells are intelligent as well and are adapting to environment, making new and better structures and organizations, how else can we explain such an incredible and unusual dog, right?
People really need to look into near death experiences, there's doctors even researching them and DR. Jeffrey Long seems to be the best one among them.
7:22 "1 foot every thousand years" 9:19 "a thousand years per inch" What? "6 inches is equivalent to Ussher's time scale for the whole of Earth's existence." First off, Ussher's timeline stated that the world began 6000bc, not 4000bc like this program is stating. Secondly, how do you go from 1 foot to 1 inch? I'm not saying that Ussher was right, or that the river didn't form the canyon(which 5 million years ago "that" river and "that" ocean were nowhere near there, but that's besides the point), I'm just saying that you should really get at least SOME facts straight before you attempt to FILM something to be on TELEVISION. I mean, good grief.
They're talking about different things. At 7:22 when he say's "1 foot every thousand years", he is talking about the rate at which the river carved the canyon down. At 9:19, when he says "a thousand years per inch", he is talking about the rate at which the sediment built up before it was eroded by the river.
No, they aren't. He says it took 1000 years to form a siltstone strata, which is a layer of rock formed as sediments deposit over thousands of years. Watch the clip at 9:19 again.
The show assumes you aren't stupid. Usshers time scale DID start at 4000 BC which was 6000 years ago, you're confused. You seem to have no idea about geology or plate tectonics, yes the erosion may have started 5000 years ago but the rock would have been pushed above sea level in the order or hundreds of millions of years ago, way before the existence of the river. God damit people like you annoy me. How about learning something about this world instead of waiting to get into heaven eh?
Everyday everything we do on earth is for, by, of the bodies with our five senses: smell, taste, touch, hear, and see like breathing, watching, talking, eating, wearing, shopping, thinking, praying, singing, crying, haircuts so on. We do not see what our souls can do by themselves or not much the souls can do without our bodies while we live on earth. Life after death: Religions tell us that our souls live on after our bodies die. What our sous do in eternity (never end) since our souls cannot do much without the bodies? Are our souls aged or not?
As human beings, we all know we will eventually die. The idea of a God, especially a personal one who watches you and listens to your prayers, is comforting to some humans. It can also be terrifying to some who think of it as a celestial North Korea where you are constantly watched. It is also comforting to believe that there is an afterlife, which we would go to upon death. There is no guarantee that we would know anything more than what we know now after we die. If we are all beings of energy and that energy is just absorbed into the universe, we cease to exist as an individual entity. We are not the center of the universe, but we are the center of our personal universe. Your life is in jeopardy every single day from all sorts of threats. The old saying that "there are no atheists in foxholes" is just fear of death manifesting itself. All we really know is that we are alive today and that life is a privilege. Make the most of this life because it may be all there is.
Carl Sagan said something to this effect, If I really believed what Jesus taught about life after death and hell etc. I would crawl over glass to let people know. That's why Christians tell you the gospel. "There is a principle that is a bar against all knowledge, proof against all argument and which must keep people in everlasting ignorance-that principle is contempt prior to investigation." Herbert Spencer
Why can't religious people just keep it to their self though? I don't go around telling people that pizza is amazing and that they should eat it. Why push your beliefs onto other people? The problem with religion is that some people use it to justify killing people. In science there can never be any sort of justification or order to murder other people. If your religion really is all about peace then there is no need to make a big deal about it. If you have peace of mind what does it matter what the rest of the people around you believe?
i think a lot of people are under a false assumption that people are "pushing their religion on others." Other than the yearly knock at the door by the Mormons, no one ever talks to me about religion. No one at work tries to force me to follow what they believe, either. As a matter of fact, I don't remember any time in my life where someone was actually forcing their beliefs on me. If I'm somewhere and the host asks us to bow our heads for grace over a meal, I don't count that as a horrible mean thing that puts me out. I bow my head - it makes them feel good. I'm simply being courteous. I certainly don't have to, but why be a dick about it? Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the issue. In the mid east, religion is scary.... they'll kill ya over it. In the western world, it's not an issue, though people continually freak out over it... on both sides.
+bluestudio67 Bullshit. All the blue laws they try to force on everyone else. Can you walk around naked? Can you have sex in public in the park? Why not? Religion is why, that's how they do it. With laws.
+rstevewarmorycom If your idea of a religious law is not being able to walk around naked and have sex in front of old people and children, then you're a twisted pup.
bluestudio67 That's merely a religious opinion, Such feelings are not natural but are brainwashed into people by religion. Only a religious bigot would think normalcy was "twisted", and you are a bigot.
Just the opening statement threw me off " unlike all other creatures on the planet we are the only ones in existence to know that our time is limited" how do you know have you talked to the Tigers and they told you they don't know you had conversation with the plants?
The greatest fear is the fear of death, the mother of all fears. but when you realize that you are eternal....you realize that you can't die even if you wanted to you start to live in unıvers which is inside there is no dualistic conceps which creates our illusions about good-bad, rich-poor, strong-weak, happy-sad when you are aware of your infinity It enables you to make your compelled and never-ending journey through timeless and spaceless within the universe of pure love, free from the fears of dualism.
I very much appreciate Michio Kaku's respectful approach to the question. I would like to point out (hopefully not to spark debate, just to perhaps clarify?) that in the Bible, books like the book of Genesis are written as legends/mythology, so naturally the conclusion that the world is 6000 years old and created in six days should by no means be drawn as fact. There are more important things in the Bible. By the way I certainly don't mean to deny religion, but hopefully speak for religion (I'm a Christian).
It doesn't speak of genesis as a myth. It does not say the world is 6000 years old. People simply think the first time they read it, and an image forms in their mind, that this MUST be what actually happened, when truth is, they have it figured wrong. Created in 6 days didn't mean it was in 6 ..EARTH..days.
To dicuss the possibility of a creator we have to assume that the creator would transcend the universe and the laws that govern it. As a Catholic we are tought that heaven is a different state of being. God is was and always will be. He is not bound by time.
Argument from authority is inadequate. We are not born Catholics, Muslims, etc. Children must be taught how not to think. I would hate to have to be paid to eviscerate a child's natural curiosity.
Evidence has not convinced me that religion is real, and I refuse to blindly believe. That said, we are confounded by our current understanding of things. That is, we're unable to explain things within the realm of science as we currently view it. Take for instance the question, "when did time begin?" We ask that question based on our current concept of time, but the question itself, using the word "when," implies that time already existed. There can be a start or end to many things, but not time, not existence. This brings us to the concept of "eternity," which is immeasurable. Not being measurable puts it beyond the reach of science, as science is currently viewed. I'm sure that someone will find fault in what I have said, and I welcome criticism. This is just my first imperfect attempt at expressing something I have long felt, but been unable to adequately express. My hope is to hone my message over time, through replying to criticism and support. Thank you.
Scientifically speaking, if the soul is energy, and I don't know of any religion that says otherwise, then the law of conservation of energy means the soul doesn't cease to exist the moment the body's compost. Now, where it goes after death, that I'm not gonna go near because I haven't died and then come back. Frankly, anyone who hasn't is unqualified to make unequivocal statements as to what happens after death since their opinion is thereby uninformed.
Energy though is not the same as the soul. Your mind is just a highly evolved and well ordered collection of electrochemical signals. When we die they convert to mostly 100W heat and some chemical changes. The mind is thus dead since no electrochemical signals are flowing. Conservation of energy has occurred. Order has become chaos. Entropy rules. So to believe that the law of thermodynamics applies to the minds survival as a soul is illogical.
+Ariel Fetters That presupposes a pragmatic framework for epistemology which is limited. Being there and back doesn't necessarily, in itself, allow someone to know with certainty what they've experienced. That being said, science is limited by those same constraints of a sort of pragmatic epistemology that goes along with the open world arrangement in inductive reasoning. You can't know anything with absolute, epistemic certainty through science. However, you can get close enough that it's reasonable to believe in scientific theories. I'm not saying that your analysis of the situation is wrong, but it's primarily representative of one type of logic. There are others that allow for certainty i.e. the illative sense, and deductive reasoning. However, deductive reasoning pretty much has the caveat that you're assuming something. Like, "if these things are true, then I'm certain about this other thing."
The earliest memory I can remember is when I saw pitch black, red eyes, shaped like a tiger. I felt a pinch and then crushing sensation in my right arm. I yelled and the beast got smaller and I yelled again and it kept getting smaller and smaller. It shrunk to a dot size and starting getting big again and I screamed loud as it backed down for the last time. That was all that happened then I remember waking up holding my crib I think I was still a toddler maybe 1. I've always felt brave after that if there was a word for the emotion I still feel now as a fighter of the boxing ring. It's strange too because I have a birthmark on my right arm. Oh well all of it could've just been a dream.
Typically humans can't remember anything before the age of 5. Any memories are usually completely wrong or distorted. Does that mean that you didn't exist? No.
***** Did you even read my post?The first word was typically, not universally. There are cases where humans remember before 5, it's just unlikely. You may be one of those, but as i said in my post those memories are probably anywhere from distorted to so far left field it's not even funny. I really hate to burst your bubble but speaking "fluently" at the age of 3 is pretty average. Mind you that childhood developmental milestones aren't an exact science.
His very first sentence is an assumption: "Unlike all other creatures on this Planet, we are the only ones who know our time is limited". Really? Did you ask that horse? How about the ant? Or the dolphin? Oh wait, they don't have "intelligence" so they can't know. Which ironically, is his own Christian values coming through - the Bible has the idea that animals don't have souls, and thus are not worth saving. But his own "science" has disproved this - crows solving puzzles, mice learning mazes, animals showing love.... This just seemed to be him having a gentle go at Christianity, which is a cheap shot. If he really wanted a challenge, he should have tried Buddhism, which states that the Universe is infinite and ageless, and that time is not really anything more than an ever-changing now moment. This is just "Science Creationism" vs. "Christian Creationism".

I have seen dolphins and elephants mourning a death. So I could not be sure they do not know they too will die.
I agree. A very interesting thought.

+MrZapparin Dumb is relative though, right? I mean it depends on how you're defining dumb. If akiman23 23 is basing his assessment off of cognitive abilities such as abstract thinking, problem solving, self contemplation, creativity, and using your average human as the standard, then yes most animals are dumb. I love my dog, she's incredibly sweet and I believe she has strong affection for myself and my family, but when comparing intellect I would have to say she's dumb; maybe not by dog standards, but I'm not a dog and I'm making the assessment so I'm using my own standards.
I liked how I clicked on this upload wanting to know what Kaku's opinion on life after death was... only to hear him say, "I need more evidence." Then he drifts off on to another topic pondering just how old earth really is. Lol
that's the answer
You saved me a lot of time, thanks!
Dr Kaku is a scientist who needs physical proof, however he needs to address the non physical information from many believable sources that seem to open cracks in the mystery of this temporary life. Near death experiences, psychic abilities, first hand reports of UFO and alien visitations etc. All have the ability to change our perceptions of reality.
@@rodbutler8069 scientists have addressed all of those and they all turn out to not be evidence and instead were either lies, tricks or psychological.
When he says - he needs more proof - it means he is tending towards existence if afterlife.
But my strong logic for afterlife is that when we all are existing as individuals for once then why can't it be for twice, thrice and more and for always in lot of frequencies. Yes, it can repeat again and again.
"Remarkable claims, need remarkable proofs... You might not need one, but I do" What a powerful line!

What if I like 70 degrees and you like 60? Do people wear clothes? Do they wear the same clothes every day? If naked, do you become perfectly fit? Can you opt to have more or less hair on your body? How old are you when you get there? When infants die, do they stay in an infantile state? Do you have to eat?

I have also seen him in some talks of god, and he never seems to try to be completely for or against. I feel Michio Kaku is a great educator in that he always shows facts to what we know for certain, but never tries to shove beliefs (ideas that are made to fill in gaps between facts) down our throats, and this is why I have so much respect for him.
That's my biggest problem, as far as a Orator. Listening to false information taken as Facts . And trying not to reply in a nefarious manner .
An obvious failure on my understanding.

***** Religion has historically promoted division and violence between peoples. Atheism is merely a lack of religious belief, not a gang or army that engages in aggressive proselytization in pursuit of social control. Conservative religions use law to force non-members to conform. I don't march under any banners, I'm not a Communist, and I don't want to convert anyone by force, as christianity and islam have done for centuries.

Do science have proof all things in the universe .......go and research Quaran plz
fardinaula123 Thank you, I have researched the texts of all three of the monotheist Abrahamic religions, The Old Testament, The New Testament AND the Quran. There is one thing that a rational person can be certain of and that is that every person and any text that claims knowledge of, proof of, or answers to "all things in the universe" is wrong about that assertion 100% of the time.
"Who is more humble; the scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and nevermind the falibility of all the human beings involved in the writing of this book?"

The subject of Quran is to introduce God to all human beings of all times places cultures languages, fields etc.scientists are extremely tiny fraction of that. Quran is supposed to introduce God to us and teach us the good way of life so that we live successfully on earth and hearafter. in doing so Quran states some facts about earth, universe and human life and other things around us. So far not a single fact has been proved wrong by any scientist, on the contrary many scientists have embraced Islam when came across those facts. Maurice Bucaille is one of them. That proves truth of religion and God.

The problem with your statement is that you could have easily substituted the word "Quran" with "Old Testement" and made the same case for the Jewish faith. You could also have substitued the word "Quran" with "New Testament" and made the same case for the Christian faith.
Here inlies the problem: all Abrahamic religions suggest that Allah / Yahweh / God is, at best, a coy and fickle being, or at least our limited interpretation does. These religions cannot seem to get along with themselves among different sects let alone coexisting with each other; Reformed Judaism -vs- Orthodox Judaism, Catholic -vs- Protestant, Sunni -vs- Shiite.
I believe that we ALL have historically brought great shame to our faith and dishonor to ourselves in the way that we have treated each other. Muhammad, Moses and Jesus were ALL sons of Abraham. They are brothers! I believe that they would see our behavior towards each other as an utter disgrace, as abject evil, and all done in their name. Shame, shame, shame on all of us!
I believe that our creator cares most about how we treat each other and all of creation than how we practice our ridiculous man-made dogmas. This is the truest test of our worthiness in the eyes of our creator. We are ALL chosen people because we were all born on this beautiful blue spec of dust.
When will come the day that we can all honestly and truly honor Allah / Yahweh / God with the greatest homage that we humans could possibly offer; with respect towards each other, as Father Abraham teaches? When shall we denounce those among us who disgrace by preaching literalism, hate, bigotry, intolerance, misogyny, territorialism and violence? Our greatest honor, our greatest homage should be that of PEACE! Could we start today?

cristop5 Conscious function is the same for everyone regardless of intelligence. Consciousness is not a result of the brain. The brain just interfaces the consciousness with the physical world. The quality of the interfacing can degrade or be altered but the conscious willful being is the same just what changes is the experience. The biological body with the brain are just tools to operate and experience the physical world and the experience itself is not the same as the soul or the conscious mind. Don't confuse the experience with the experiencer. Don't confuse the brain processing power and memories with the mind's ability to make willful decisions. Just like the user of computer software and the software itself are two separate things is the same way that the conscious willful mind is different than the biological brain.
Clyde Ssites Prove it
Boris Alfaro No one can prove it either way. I recognize that but secular scientists like to think they have proven something they have not. Scientists like to throw around that "fact" word when all they really have is a claim or guess.
They have and that's how humans advance. You can't advance in anything if there isn't proof that your statement is true. When someone says something to be true you better be prepared to show evidence. Truth is not bias. Truth stays true no matter who or what is observing. If you state something and cannot prove it you either do not have no evidence, not stating the truth, or delusional.
Boris Alfaro you are confusing a claim with truth. They claim something to be fact and truth when it has been far from proven. You can advance simply by more evidence/data. The existing evidence and data on old ages is far from resulting in any truths as they are very lacking in their modules and have been left to use many assumptions.
“Time is But a mere illusion.” -Albert Einstein

Time isn't mere illusion, he too was reluctant in accepting the universe is not static, yet there it was expanding. What you are implying is giving the attributes of God to Universe to begin with(irrational illogical attributes that only suit god) and mind accepts it

Setting aside the creationism claims in the Book of Genesis, I’ve found that most YECs simply have a difficult time accepting the idea of 4.5bil years, because, to them, it sounds too far-fetched; and they’ll often deride the idea of a timescale so vast. The problem is, the timescale we use as humans - years - is essentially arbitrary (aside from the obvious fact that it takes a 365.25 days to orbit the sun).
Let’s say we lived on Jupiter, which takes 12 earth years to complete one full orbit around the sun. If we used the Jovian orbit as a calendar year, the earth would “only” be 375mil years old. If you used Neptune’s calendar year, which year is ~165 earth years, the earth would “only” be 27.3mil years old.
The point is, our unit of measurement concerning time is relative, so we have to look at the bigger picture when we hear timescales that range in the billions of years.
I think the Genesis books should be seen as an implication of Big Bang event, not only the moment of creating this Earth and other beings.
What? That's not how it works. If we were on Jupiter then it would be equivalent time there.
@@osiris1102 I think what he's saying is that yes, time itself would be the same, but how we quantify it (in years) is simply a human construct and could differ if we measured years from another planet or the like

"Unlike all other creatures on the planet we are the only ones who know our time is limited."

Im sure he's referring to how deep humans' understanding of time is compared to animals.
We don't know if we have a better understanding of time than animals. It is the arrogance of humans who put themselves on top of everything. The only difference between weed and flowers, is our own judgement.
Where are the animals' government? Utilization of electricity? Cars? Planes? GPS? Space exploration? Schools? Humans intellectually exceed any other animal by miles. You really think its arrogant to think humans' have a better understanding of time, or anything at all, than animals?
PapaKay All your examples show off human intelligence, but Who is to say humans are in fact smarter or have a better perception of time? Is it because we can build atomic bombs and have striped toothpaste? I don't think that is the essential core of the universe, but that is just my opinion. The more we learn about this earth, the more I am baffled by how intelligent our environment is. Recent studies even show communication between plantlife and we merely are scratching the surface of that. There is a whole lot more to this world/universe than we could ever imagine.
Again, you judge animals like we judge everything around us and place the human race on top of it all. As I said earlier, the only difference between weed and flowers is our own judgement.

GamerDares Wins yep but its slightly different in what kaku has discovered.

I dont see believing in a God as any more odd than believing everything is made of strings that contain extra dimensions and infinite parallel universes.
Amen to that
Because no one believe String Theory is true. As of now it is just a consistent explanation and it is to be hoped that this theory will make predictions that we can test.
Now if String Theory predicts "if you do this experiment you'll find this result" and we do the experiment and find the result, that would be a good confirmation of the theory. It has not been confirmed yet and is just a work in progress for now.
So indeed it would be very odd to believe in String Theory, about as odd as believing in God. In that sense I agree with you.
Djorgal Exactly, of course there's much more evidence involving the proof of String Theory than God, and I'm not saying either is true or false, but there still is no proof either way. I find it an incredibly ignorant statement from Mr. Kaku that he says he needs to see to believe there's a God yet all his lifes work is built on something that has yet to be seen.
PatriotAct He doesn't say he believes String Theory is true.
He'd like to know and he's working on it. He is actually trying to prove String Theory is wrong and if he succeed in doing so that'd be a great achievement.
You make science progress by trying to prove you're wrong.

A friend visits his dying friend and finds him reading a bible. The friend asks, "Bill...wtf? You're an atheist. What are you doing reading the bible? The dying guy says quietly, "I'm looking for loopholes".
I was a creationist once before in my life. I wanted to know that when I died something would continue onward. Eventually, being shown the overwhelming facts against my belief system and swath of information for the other sides, I came to the conclusion that the existence of a deity, as described in most religions, was impossible. That lead me to a change in my life that resulted to where I am today, hoping to one day shape the future of those who will live after me as positively as I can. Science is really the only long term way to forward that cause, as it is proposed that, with sufficiently advanced technology, almost no one would have to die again and their lives while they were alive would be enjoyable. As depressing as it is to know that one day my existence will be quickly pulled from me, it makes me happy to know that I may one day contribute something immensely helpful to the humans that come after myself. That's the reason why I believe most creationists lean the way they do, they do not wish to accept the fact that there is a finite end to life, and I really can't blame them.

A believer also is opened to the truth, as he receives it and understands it.
About all the other religions and cults in the world, tell me one where the leader resurrected from the dead? None of the other cults have the hope and truth that comes from Jesus Christ. The evidence for God is overwhelming for those who see it. The greatest miracle is the fact that we even exist - that there is something and not nothing at all. The fact that we are moving breathing ALIVE coalesced bodies of carbon that can think and speak - and practise ethics and morality. Praise the Lord God Almighty!

That has very little to do with their belief in afterlife. Faith in afterlife, God, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha is mostly personal and you either have it or you don`t.

I was raised Catholic early in my life and at some point I drifted from them to First Baptist for a time. I always understood I had already been baptized as a baby and pretty much figured I'd leave it at that, however since I been attending another church and possibly different doctrine, however I found they were pretty much the same. After attending on and off with the First Baptist I decided to be dunk baptized even though I already knew I was already covered when I was a baby. This happened in 2004 the same year my father fell I'll to cancer and died. I did get a chance to see him a week before he did pass and I'll never forget what he told me while in his room at the v.a. center. He was sitting at the edge of the bed and he kept rolling his oxygen hose up and putting it away and I kept having to tell he wasn't supposed to do that and he should put it back on, otherwise our conversations were pretty much small talk all of a sudden he looked at me and said "son why are you covered in water?" I asked him to explain and he said that my whole body appeared as though it was covered in water and that my sister looked the same way....it turned out that she had gotten dunk baptized too, I know he knew about her baptism but not mine and I asked her if she had said anything about it and she said "honest to God no!" I won't even try to convince anyone here what I believe especially in a room with people who need proof in something that requires surrender and faith. I now believe that people on their death beds are in the process of having their veil lifted or at least my father did and he saw something that we cant see at least till were ready. Some things are forever etched in my mind... I remember when the space shuttle blew up, the world trade center disaster etcetera, and what my father said to me in his last few days left on this earth.
Our sense perception has limits and in this life the physical world we observe comes within it. Like the light outside the visible range or the sound outside the audible range cannot be sensed yet it exists. Our physical brains too have limitations to grasp the afterlife that is proof enough to believing it. To be humbled by the infinite is far better than to believe only in a limited finite existence.

I honestly think this is what afterlife feels like. The moment when you’re in a very very deep sleep. The split moment you feel or try to recall from closing your eyes and sleep to just BAM, waking up, that little blank hole of space is what I think death is, which is pretty much a feeling of nothingness. No awareness, no feelings, no dreams, no anything. Think about it.
If you've ever been put under anesthesia, that's what I believe death is. You just never wake up. No dreams, no awareness, no consciousness. Same as before you were born. Non-existence. Our fear of death leads many to believe there must be something after life. What's after life is death, the end. All your fears will be gone because you'll cease to exist.

"Speaking as a scientist I think that there is a problem with regards to the after life and religious immortality and that is there is no proof that it exists. Remarkable claims require remarkable proof. But maybe you don't need proof. Well, I do."
Sidenote to this. Every believer started to believe because of a spiritual impact. They all got an inner conviction that God touched their soul personally and a personal relationship with God started. Without that mysteriously started conviction there is no faith. It always starts with the touch of God.

This is a misconception. In the beginning of Genesis, when YHWH or (God) tells (Adam) to be fruitful and multiply, he says to replenish the earth. It also says, the earth was void and without form. And darkness covered the face.
my point is, the dirt that composes the earth, and all of the elements, are likely billions of yrs old, if not timeless. What the statement here is, is that the current shape, the current time or age if you will has begun.
now there is even a timeframe offered. It says Abraham is born in 1948. The original. like 1948yrs after the fall of man. Then it says in the geneology, that from Abraham to bondage was 14generations, from bondage to exodus was 14 generations and from exodus to messiah was 14 generations. So three sets of generations. A generation being 70yrs, also taken from scripture. So 3*14*70+1948= the time span between Adam and messiah birth. Which is believed to be 3bc.
Which would make 2015 the 6900th yr after the fall of man, as of last April. of course they called it Nisan.
So, with one week of creation, a day being as 1000yrs, as he says on genesis, that puts 6900 yrs since the fall, and 7000yrs of creation. So 13,900yrs since the earth was without form.
There is nothing to say it was not once or more formed before. The translation for earth here was really land. earth means dirt. soil. solid sediment. So technically its not even referring to this planet. Scripturally the planet is Jerusalem.

interesting, when Adam fell, he was told he would die that day. Adam freaked out but was reassured a day was 1000yrs. he was recorded to be 930 when he died. So exactly 70yrs shy of 1000. One generation.
Later, he says he will cut the time short for the sake of the elect, lest even they fall. well. Adam represents man, right? so exactly 70yrs from the end of this current thousand yrs is 30yrs from now. Makes me wonder if he will cut time that short for man as a whole ^^, I do not know.

"Time" is an infinity grid. For the sake of simplicity, "time" is a measure of change. There is therefore, such a thing, scientifically, as a state of 'timelessness,' which divides 'time quanta' or stated as, 'windows of change,' which is what 'we' are familiar with, so far measured as "Planck time."
22nd October 4004BC - 'bout dinner time XD
"God, your dinner's ready!"
"I'm just creating the universe. Be there in a minute"
.....
"What's a minute?"
First sentence: "Unlike any other creature, we know that are time here is limited". Exactly how does Kaku know this?
You said the magic words. "All religions promise an after life" If religions did not promise that, how popular would they be? People are too afraid to die. Many spend their last dime on anything that might delay the inevitable. Live to the fullest now!
+MILO MANX
If a man lives to be 1 or 100 and dies what there is no value in anything he did while alive so the idea of "living life to the fullest" is stupid and short sided in light of eternity.
I always laugh when someone mocks religion and mentions about spending money as if the two are tied together. But the same douche-bag doesn't talk about all of the money he spent to get a piece of @ss.
All these comments below me, arguing about what's true and what's not...
Can we all agree that our time is limited? Can we recognize that the more time we spend arguing the less time we have to do what we really want to do? Just really comprehend how valuable your time is--it's the most valuable thing you'll ever have--do you really want to waste the most valuable thing you'll ever have? Will forcing your opinion on someone else really make you that much happier, that it's worth wasting your life doing?
I never reckoned Michio as an outstanding physicist, but he has a knack of representing science pretty well in an understandable way. Another, earlier physicist, Carl Sagan (of 'Cosmos' fame) did it even better. If you've never seen it, It's well worth a look.
Animals are aware that they can be hunted down by other predators or die by accidents. But are completely unaware of an afterlife.
How could you possibly know that?
People are animals too you know...
ApacheMagic
Well, aside from us, no animal is aware.
Science is only limited to the law in our simulation. Human beings will never cross the boundaries of the simulations to comprehend what is beyond. This is the most fundamental of our game we are playing in ...

(5) O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much), and (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَأَنَّهُ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ وَأَنَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
(6) This is so, because Allah is the Reality: it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who has power over all things.
وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَن فِي الْقُبُورِ
(7) And verily the Hour will come: there can be no doubt about it, or about (the fact) that Allah will raise up all who are in the graves.
the first 1:00 really made something click in my mind and that is being that once humans evolved the ability to be aware of the fact that one day we would inevitably die so the only way to cope naturally would be to beleive that we live for ever, like every other animal

Skeptics are like a two-dimensional painting that denies the artist that painted it. Their logic? "Because they cannot locate the artist anywhere on the painting, therefore the artist must not exist..."
You're an idiot.
Do you know what burden of proof means?
I consider Dr. Kaku to be one of the most brilliant minds ever. I have nothing but respect for him. I would like to be like him. I rank in the top 1% for science comprehension and have an IQ in the 150 range. He makes me feel like an idiot. I do not fault him for that, I fault the American education system. Any American student who deserves it and qualifies for it should be given free college scholarships. We need to encourage American students to go into science and math courses by stopping the push for football players, etc. We need to encourage students to excel at scholastic achievements even if it means downplaying athletics and special needs students.
the reason you cant find proof Michio Kaku is because you do not want any. your in the dark looking for light but to first see the light you must leave the dark. i used to be a atheist lost in misery and sin then god changed me by his grace through faith in his son jesus christ . sometimes the best way satan turns people away from the truth is to pretend to be a christian causing confusion
For 15 yrs I have seen many people approach death either natural occurrence or unanticipated. Two things are fact. 1. Electricity is used in any attempt to stop the process when necessary. 2. The very last moment is calm, peaceful and surreal.
Eternal life is real. God is something even more vague and harder to understand scientifically.
***** I've seen past what I'm up against. I'm already aware of what I'm up against. Also I said God, so therefore demigods are already out of the question.
So, as to what God, I have no idea. God could be anything for all we know. Thus the purpose of faith.
Also, I don't necessarily even believe in a God. That understanding may come later in life, but as of now I'm agnostic. If you were even able to comprehend my comment, you would understand that I said God is vague and hard to understand scientifically. And you are making a a huge misunderstanding. "Scientists" combating religion with contradiction to theology isn't scientific in the slightest. That's all opinion versus opinion and logic vs logic. None of which can ever prove that a God does or does not exist.
Now what I know to be certain is a life after death after talking with countless people who are able to detach the from the body and travel in a spiritual form which who knows maybe the spirit is a very advanced form of energy which technically could be supported with Einstein's theory if there were collected data. At first I thought this was bullshit because I was an atheist an only believed things I could relate too but then these people started to tell me what was going on in a room without even being in there. I then tried to learn how to do this myself and I've been practicing for roughly 2 years and up until about a 2 weeks ago did I actually have my first minor success.
IvoryStrike witch god are u talking about, because there is hundreds of gods and religions?

Sir, the way you trained The Karate Kid is remarkable. ( lol just trolling ) ... love this dude and his rationale.
To be fair, the old testament states that during the flood, "water burst forth from the earth". A flood at the scale described in the old testament could easily attest for the erosion caused. Don't attack me please. I am simply pointing out an observation.
+Taylor Miller It also stated that mountains and hilly land was formed as a result of the flood.
+Taylor Miller Simply the accuracy of the text at that time is quite extraordinary.
+Taylor Miller other religions and cultures had historical accounts of a great flood also, whether or not it was caused by God or natural forces is another question.
I must have slept through the part about life after death.
I love your work and TV appearances professor Kaku, but I must differ with you in your initial statement where you said that only humans had a concept of their limited time on Earth, and therefore, of death. I heard these same kinds of statements where others have said that animals don't have a concept of the future, which makes me wonder why then would a bird prepare for winter, build a nest, or warn other animals of impending danger. Non-human animals have an even deeper understanding (does not have to be intellectual) of their relative time on Earth. Anyone who has raised animals and has a close bond with them, while studying to understand them thoroughly, can realize this. The more I study about non-human animals and interact with them the more I realize that it is us, and not them, who still need to learn from them. In fact, much of what Homo knows about survival have been learned through observing animals in the natural world.
I completely agree with you. Prof Kaku made the classic human error in assuming that only the human race have such an awareness. The depth of soul in our friends from the animal kingdom must not be underestimated.

‘The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.’
the universe is expanding, so does that mean that god is constantly 'building' the universe?
Yes He is. Best Job ever I would say.
no, expanding doesnt mean new universe, just the same universe getting stretched

I'll put it this way god is the universe! it doesn't think it doesn't feel it doesn't see all it does is creat wonderful things.🙈🙉🙊
Do you have any evidence? beside your imagination? I think the universe is a bunch of dudes, laughing at how we think we are the only intelligence in the universe, and there we can't even travel beyond our little galaxy.
If it cannot feel or see then how can it create wonderful and beautiful things?
No its not. Its the flying spaghetti monster. Away with your blasphemy!
If God didnt feel or think. Then you wouldn't EXIST. A good chunk of the Universe was made just so Earth could inhabit LIFE. Look at all the creation around... Flower's, Bird's flying around, Majestic Snow cap mountains, The Grand Canyon, Trees, Grass, Vegetables/Fruit for Food, Water for drinking/fishing for food/cleaning ourselves, The perfect exchange of Oxygen between plants/trees and humans/animals, gravity, and the list goes on and on... if that aint Love and the Expression of I care to provide all these things for your Survival because he cares and your personal experience to all these thing's should bring you to a Great Awakening in your mind to show you that you are unique in this entire universe made for you and everyone else to learn to recognize his Love so that you will in turn learn to Love yourself and others on this short journey and stroll here on earth. Its faaar more complex then you understand it to be. Take 1 element out or lower/raise that element and Life doesn't exist. It all was created with razor sharp precision.
it also destroys
Why does he think that humans are the only animal who knows that our time is limited? I think because of the way animals act, to protect their young, fight for resources and so forth that all animals know that they will die.

It's natural for people living in a created world to think they are smarter than the creator. Kinda like ants living in a glass ant farm fighting about whether they existed there forever or if they were " placed there" by something outside their glass jar world

What if God is in another dimension? I really think the Bible says this too us. Many times God is referenced as "all seeing", images in Revelation of having "many eyes", etc. One way to explain this is that God is in a higher dimension than ours. (For example, say a piece of paper was a 2D universe, if you held it far enough, you could see everything on in at once since you're a 3D creature).
If God is in another dimension, it would also scientifically explain why he is the Alpha and the Omega, or how he has no beginning and end. In another dimension, time doesn't have to exist!
Just my 2 cents.
Shankovich God is omnipresent. He would be in any universe or dimension. He's even in you if you accept the Lord Jesus as your Savior.
Actually, the idea of "everlasting to everlasting" or another universe or dimension (someplace other than our world or universe) is not a new idea. It's thousands of years old.
... Psalms 90: 2, "Before the mountains were brought forth , or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God".
... John 14:2, "2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Agree with you. I think God exists outside our dimension. God exists somehwere else. Beyond our time and space.
Yes, God is hiding in other dimention and sometimes is listening to your prayers
Shankovich That's not a way to explain god at all. You need to demonstrate how this would be possible.
That's just you making stuff up.
Where in the bible does it mention god exists in a another dimension ? You just made that up.
The point is there is no reason to believe any god exists due to the lack of any evidence.
the bible is not a credible source. it is make believe designed to comfort our species and take away from the thought of death
allow science and time to reveal the truth
In the oldest religions God was a female.
Correction: In the oldest 'known' religion, god was believed to be female.
That makes more sense, I mean if the one who gives us life is a mother, not a father.
Also, various people who drank Ayahusca, describe hearing a feminine voice speak to them.
God is spirit, spirit at its purest form is energy.
***** Why are you even here?
Male and female only exist because of sexual reproduction, spirits have no gender. therefore can neither be a male or female , such concept only exists down here.
i warmly suggest to you non believers to stay open minded in the question of god.
I don't think this video is just about God, its about how old the earth is and how wrong the bible was.
Sir Michio Kaku, you probably won't believe me, but I had a dog, which was incredibly smart, unusually smart, a thinker. He was not of pure breed, but mixture of many. Anyway, he knew he was going to die and he cried when he was sick. He also knew the day he was going to die and took me for a long walk. I didn't know that he was going to die, so I actually wanted to make the walk shorter, so I sort of forced him to go home with me. He didn't want to enter the door, so I had to force him to do that as well. And then he made himself comfortable, fell asleep and never woke. Then I understood everything that happened during walk and while getting back home. So when you say that we're the only ones who understand that we're going to die one day, I'm afraid, you're not correct.
EDIT: I have a strong feeling that all the cells are intelligent as well and are adapting to environment, making new and better structures and organizations, how else can we explain such an incredible and unusual dog, right?
People really need to look into near death experiences, there's doctors even researching them and DR. Jeffrey Long seems to be the best one among them.
Yes! Lessons from the Light by Kenneth Ring and anything Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.
7:22 "1 foot every thousand years" 9:19 "a thousand years per inch" What? "6 inches is equivalent to Ussher's time scale for the whole of Earth's existence." First off, Ussher's timeline stated that the world began 6000bc, not 4000bc like this program is stating. Secondly, how do you go from 1 foot to 1 inch? I'm not saying that Ussher was right, or that the river didn't form the canyon(which 5 million years ago "that" river and "that" ocean were nowhere near there, but that's besides the point), I'm just saying that you should really get at least SOME facts straight before you attempt to FILM something to be on TELEVISION. I mean, good grief.
They're talking about different things. At 7:22 when he say's "1 foot every thousand years", he is talking about the rate at which the river carved the canyon down. At 9:19, when he says "a thousand years per inch", he is talking about the rate at which the sediment built up before it was eroded by the river.
Johnny Tabor Actually, the two referenced times are about the same thing, the speed at which the river was digging through the canyon.
No, they aren't. He says it took 1000 years to form a siltstone strata, which is a layer of rock formed as sediments deposit over thousands of years. Watch the clip at 9:19 again.
The show assumes you aren't stupid. Usshers time scale DID start at 4000 BC which was 6000 years ago, you're confused. You seem to have no idea about geology or plate tectonics, yes the erosion may have started 5000 years ago but the rock would have been pushed above sea level in the order or hundreds of millions of years ago, way before the existence of the river. God damit people like you annoy me. How about learning something about this world instead of waiting to get into heaven eh?
Everyday everything we do on earth is for, by, of the bodies with our five senses: smell, taste, touch, hear, and see like breathing, watching, talking, eating, wearing, shopping, thinking, praying, singing, crying, haircuts so on. We do not see what our souls can do by themselves or not much the souls can do without our bodies while we live on earth. Life after death: Religions tell us that our souls live on after our bodies die. What our sous do in eternity (never end) since our souls cannot do much without the bodies? Are our souls aged or not?
As human beings, we all know we will eventually die. The idea of a God, especially a personal one who watches you and listens to your prayers, is comforting to some humans. It can also be terrifying to some who think of it as a celestial North Korea where you are constantly watched. It is also comforting to believe that there is an afterlife, which we would go to upon death. There is no guarantee that we would know anything more than what we know now after we die. If we are all beings of energy and that energy is just absorbed into the universe, we cease to exist as an individual entity. We are not the center of the universe, but we are the center of our personal universe. Your life is in jeopardy every single day from all sorts of threats. The old saying that "there are no atheists in foxholes" is just fear of death manifesting itself. All we really know is that we are alive today and that life is a privilege. Make the most of this life because it may be all there is.
Carl Sagan said something to this effect, If I really believed what Jesus taught about life after death and hell etc. I would crawl over glass to let people know. That's why Christians tell you the gospel. "There is a principle that is a bar against all knowledge, proof against all argument and which must keep people in everlasting ignorance-that principle is contempt prior to investigation." Herbert Spencer
Why can't religious people just keep it to their self though? I don't go around telling people that pizza is amazing and that they should eat it. Why push your beliefs onto other people? The problem with religion is that some people use it to justify killing people. In science there can never be any sort of justification or order to murder other people. If your religion really is all about peace then there is no need to make a big deal about it. If you have peace of mind what does it matter what the rest of the people around you believe?
i think a lot of people are under a false assumption that people are "pushing their religion on others." Other than the yearly knock at the door by the Mormons, no one ever talks to me about religion. No one at work tries to force me to follow what they believe, either. As a matter of fact, I don't remember any time in my life where someone was actually forcing their beliefs on me. If I'm somewhere and the host asks us to bow our heads for grace over a meal, I don't count that as a horrible mean thing that puts me out. I bow my head - it makes them feel good. I'm simply being courteous. I certainly don't have to, but why be a dick about it? Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the issue. In the mid east, religion is scary.... they'll kill ya over it. In the western world, it's not an issue, though people continually freak out over it... on both sides.
+bluestudio67 Bullshit. All the blue laws they try to force on everyone else. Can you walk around naked? Can you have sex in public in the park? Why not? Religion is why, that's how they do it. With laws.
+rstevewarmorycom If your idea of a religious law is not being able to walk around naked and have sex in front of old people and children, then you're a twisted pup.
bluestudio67 That's merely a religious opinion, Such feelings are not natural but are brainwashed into people by religion. Only a religious bigot would think normalcy was "twisted", and you are a bigot.

Just the opening statement threw me off " unlike all other creatures on the planet we are the only ones in existence to know that our time is limited" how do you know have you talked to the Tigers and they told you they don't know you had conversation with the plants?
The greatest fear is the fear of death, the mother of all fears.
but when you realize that you are eternal....you realize that you can't die even if you wanted to
you start to live in unıvers which is inside there is no dualistic conceps which creates our illusions about good-bad, rich-poor, strong-weak, happy-sad

It enables you to make your compelled and never-ending journey through timeless and spaceless within the universe of pure love, free from the fears of dualism.
I very much appreciate Michio Kaku's respectful approach to the question. I would like to point out (hopefully not to spark debate, just to perhaps clarify?) that in the Bible, books like the book of Genesis are written as legends/mythology, so naturally the conclusion that the world is 6000 years old and created in six days should by no means be drawn as fact. There are more important things in the Bible. By the way I certainly don't mean to deny religion, but hopefully speak for religion (I'm a Christian).
It doesn't speak of genesis as a myth. It does not say the world is 6000 years old.
People simply think the first time they read it, and an image forms in their mind,
that this MUST be what actually happened,
when truth is, they have it figured wrong.
Created in 6 days didn't mean it was in 6 ..EARTH..days.
To dicuss the possibility of a creator we have to assume that the creator would transcend the universe and the laws that govern it. As a Catholic we are tought that heaven is a different state of being. God is was and always will be. He is not bound by time.
Argument from authority is inadequate. We are not born Catholics, Muslims, etc. Children must be taught how not to think. I would hate to have to be paid to eviscerate a child's natural curiosity.
Evidence has not convinced me that religion is real, and I refuse to blindly believe.
That said, we are confounded by our current understanding of things. That is, we're unable to explain things within the realm of science as we currently view it.
Take for instance the question, "when did time begin?" We ask that question based on our current concept of time, but the question itself, using the word "when," implies that time already existed.
There can be a start or end to many things, but not time, not existence.
This brings us to the concept of "eternity," which is immeasurable. Not being measurable puts it beyond the reach of science, as science is currently viewed.
I'm sure that someone will find fault in what I have said, and I welcome criticism. This is just my first imperfect attempt at expressing something I have long felt, but been unable to adequately express. My hope is to hone my message over time, through replying to criticism and support. Thank you.
this is the first time i watch a video o Kaku where he doesn't mention Einstein or string theory
Scientifically speaking, if the soul is energy, and I don't know of any religion that says otherwise, then the law of conservation of energy means the soul doesn't cease to exist the moment the body's compost. Now, where it goes after death, that I'm not gonna go near because I haven't died and then come back. Frankly, anyone who hasn't is unqualified to make unequivocal statements as to what happens after death since their opinion is thereby uninformed.
Energy though is not the same as the soul. Your mind is just a highly evolved and well ordered collection of electrochemical signals. When we die they convert to mostly 100W heat and some chemical changes. The mind is thus dead since no electrochemical signals are flowing. Conservation of energy has occurred. Order has become chaos. Entropy rules. So to believe that the law of thermodynamics applies to the minds survival as a soul is illogical.
+Admiralhall2000 Ok McCoy , but what would Spock say? The Kligons are coming, the Kligons are coming!
+MAYiWATCH2
I think you mean *Klingons*.
+Ariel Fetters That presupposes a pragmatic framework for epistemology which is limited. Being there and back doesn't necessarily, in itself, allow someone to know with certainty what they've experienced. That being said, science is limited by those same constraints of a sort of pragmatic epistemology that goes along with the open world arrangement in inductive reasoning. You can't know anything with absolute, epistemic certainty through science. However, you can get close enough that it's reasonable to believe in scientific theories. I'm not saying that your analysis of the situation is wrong, but it's primarily representative of one type of logic. There are others that allow for certainty i.e. the illative sense, and deductive reasoning. However, deductive reasoning pretty much has the caveat that you're assuming something. Like, "if these things are true, then I'm certain about this other thing."
Think back to where you were before your birth, can anyone remember?
MY MOMA
You cannot remember, as you had no perception or memory.
The earliest memory I can remember is when I saw pitch black, red eyes, shaped like a tiger. I felt a pinch and then crushing sensation in my right arm. I yelled and the beast got smaller and I yelled again and it kept getting smaller and smaller. It shrunk to a dot size and starting getting big again and I screamed loud as it backed down for the last time. That was all that happened then I remember waking up holding my crib I think I was still a toddler maybe 1. I've always felt brave after that if there was a word for the emotion I still feel now as a fighter of the boxing ring. It's strange too because I have a birthmark on my right arm. Oh well all of it could've just been a dream.
Typically humans can't remember anything before the age of 5. Any memories are usually completely wrong or distorted. Does that mean that you didn't exist? No.
***** Did you even read my post?The first word was typically, not universally. There are cases where humans remember before 5, it's just unlikely. You may be one of those, but as i said in my post those memories are probably anywhere from distorted to so far left field it's not even funny.
I really hate to burst your bubble but speaking "fluently" at the age of 3 is pretty average. Mind you that childhood developmental milestones aren't an exact science.
Well done Bishop Ussher! You have messed up every believers mind :)
His very first sentence is an assumption: "Unlike all other creatures on this Planet, we are the only ones who know our time is limited". Really? Did you ask that horse? How about the ant? Or the dolphin? Oh wait, they don't have "intelligence" so they can't know.
Which ironically, is his own Christian values coming through - the Bible has the idea that animals don't have souls, and thus are not worth saving. But his own "science" has disproved this - crows solving puzzles, mice learning mazes, animals showing love....
This just seemed to be him having a gentle go at Christianity, which is a cheap shot. If he really wanted a challenge, he should have tried Buddhism, which states that the Universe is infinite and ageless, and that time is not really anything more than an ever-changing now moment.
This is just "Science Creationism" vs. "Christian Creationism".
From which documentary is this?
