Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of the most recognizable faces of science in the world, and for good reason. He has thought a lot about how to engage people in the wonder and joy of science, something that is also near and dear to my own heart, and to the spirit of many of my own activities, including The Origins Podcast. I was so happy that Neil agreed to return to have another dialogue on the podcast following the release of his new book, Starry Messenger, because it provided us with the opportunity to have the kind of give and take discussion that I so enjoy having with him, and which I also think is so important for people to get to watch. Neil and I share many of the same sensibilities but we don’t agree about everything, and our perspectives are sometimes different. We try to share those different perspectives with each other by respectful dialogue, and discussion. Sometimes we change each others’ minds, or at least I like to think we do. That aspect of science, open questioning, joint enthusiasm for trying to find what he calls objective truth, and what I am less willing to label as such, is one of the things he discusses in his book, and I think our dialogue provides a great example of how science can help us move forward together toward a possibly brighter future. It will be interesting to hear what you think about our discussion. In the end I hope you will find it as entertaining and informative as I did.

Join stellar minds like Lawrence Krauss, a cosmology expert, and Michio Kaku, a string theory advocate. They delve into revolutionary physics discoveries, discussing dark energy and the melding of physics and biology. Rupert Sheldrake brings his unique take on morphic resonance, exploring nature’s collective memory. Paul Davies raises questions about the universe's origins, while David Chalmers challenges perceptions of reality, highlighting consciousness as a core component. This captivating dialogue seeks to uncover the mysteries beyond our current understanding.

Lawrence Krauss, a renowned physicist and cosmologist, joins Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist and acclaimed author, for an engaging dialogue. They delve into the critical role of science communication and the public's misconceptions about evolution. The duo passionately discusses the relationship between faith and scientific understanding, emphasizing the importance of education in bridging the gap. They also reflect on public discourse surrounding skepticism and the transformative impact of embracing scientific inquiry, challenging beliefs while fostering open dialogue.

Lawrence Krauss, distinguished physicist and founder of the Origins Project Foundation, joins the podcast to discuss the transformative power of science. Topics include interpreting quantum mechanics, the politicization of science, the cowardice of institutional leaders, and the dangers of fundamentalist wokeism.

Lawrence Krauss, physicist and cosmologist, discusses dark energy, matter-antimatter asymmetry, and the significance of neutrinos. Topics include the detection of gravitational waves, CP violation and leptogenesis, and the similarities between the Higgs field and a Bose-Einstein condensate. Future work and writing plans are also discussed.

In this week’s compilation, we explore the idea of what happens when the religious instinct gets brushed aside – and the things that fill that void instead. Things that, depending on who you ask, may be actively contributing to the breakdown of a society founded on the Abrahamic tradition.Nietzsche has his famous God quote, “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods, simply to appear worthy of it?”The voices in this compilation may be very familiar since some of them are also featured in the Conceptualization of God series. You’re about to hear from the whole spectrum: through Jonathan Pageau and Matthew Petrusek to Stephen Fry and Lawrence Krauss, just to name a few.

Lawrence Krauss and Brian Keating discuss origins, passion for physics, religious views, CMB research, the BICEP experiments, inflation theory, multiverse, Simons Array, and more in an engaging conversation.

Sam Harris speaks with Lawrence Krauss and Matt Dillahunty about the threat of nuclear war, Christian support for Trump, science and a universal conception of morality, the role of intuition in science, the primacy of consciousness, the nature of time, free will, the self, meditation, and other topics.  If the Making Sense podcast logo in your player is BLACK, you can SUBSCRIBE to gain access to all full-length episodes at samharris.org/subscribe.

Lawrence Krauss, a well-known Atheist Physicist, is discussed in this episode. The podcast also explores the corruption in the American court system and the importance of Christians speaking into it. Topics include Krauss's views on creationism, the significance of biblical justice, and the paradox of purpose in a seemingly indifferent universe.

The Star Trek TV and movie series imagine a bright future for humans in space, one in which we explore alien worlds with the aid of advanced technology. Because the writers tried to include as much realistic science as possible within the fictional framework, the stories have been an inspiration for students, scientists, inventors; and anyone interested in pondering our destiny on Earth and beyond. In this show, Brandon Fibbs reviews the latest Star Trek movie now in theaters, and Lawrence Krauss talks about how Star Trek uses science to explore what is possible in our universe.NOTE: All-Access subscribers can listen to this entire episode commercial-free here: https://www.startalkradio.net/all-access/science-star-trek/ Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of StarTalk Radio ad-free and a whole week early.Start a free trial now on Apple Podcasts or by visiting siriusxm.com/podcastsplus.
