The history of our world in 18 minutes | David Christian | TED

Shutanggala wala akong naintindihan~ RIP Essay T_T

I wonder how long it will take before this speech is banned from Florida public schools.

This is a pitch for a sci-fi movie based in the 90’s.

And now we are crossing the next threshold of complexity. Silicon life that can both learn and iterate infinitely.

Sounds like a heck of a thought !

but history of ancient civilization still unclear to us.

It's all magical...but is there a magician 🎩

Hello

❤️❤️❤️

As a new teacher I would love to see that curriculum that you are building.

Speaks fast because of insecurity?

This guy states the 2nd law of thermodynamics prevents order from chaos, then he goes on to say the universe created order from chaos! Lol 😅 The universe is inanimate, so it can not create anything, and it can not violate the laws of physics by which it is bound. This guy is appealing to emotions and imagination. Nothing he says is scientific.

David Christian said this 12 years ago, and if anything, we're more stupid

I believe in INFINITY!
Therefore: I don't buy into the THEORY of the 'beginning of time'. There is no such thing.
Therefore: I don't buy into the THEORY of 'nothing'. Space may be 'void' but it has NO size!
Trying to define space and time using feeble mankind's methods of measurements (earth relative) is folly !

Now this is what I call 2 a.m quality content

I always tell this story when they ask why I did something wrong. Hopefully when I get to the asteroid part that already forgot the question

My main problem with this is that he begins by pointing out a very important truth (i.e. that order cannot come from disorder) before immediately undermining his own statement by suggesting "the universe" can do just that. There is only one force in nature that can bring order out of disorder, and that is intelligence. Ergo, anytime there is apparent order, there must be some sort of intelligence behind it. You can decide for yourself what that means.

The best teachers aren’t necessarily the smartest-it’s the ones best able to distill the information to those who are less knowledgeable in a way they can understand.

They are gems of society

If I was 8 years old maybe that guy would've taught me a thing or two... boring presentation

This stuff hits hard in 2023. The Middle East, Ukraine, Azerbaijani, Sudan, Haiti… there’s no “new” land in the 21st century and mammals are freaking out.

"... The world, in its wisdom did not know God..." 1 Cor 1:21 😔

There's so much you have to get it right.

There’s TED Talks - and there’s this one.

thank for sharing

Reminds me of a famous "Comic" from an old magazine!
Two "Scientists" are having a deep discussion. And one is saying:
"Then, suddenly, a MIRACLE occurs!"
But, there is never any valid or logical explanation for that "Miracle"!

This is the first time I've seen the history of the universe from the lenses of entropy and ever-increasing complexity. It really re-contenxualized things

Just like any other ted talk, this one is based on misrepresented facts. For starters, global trade is not complex at all, each individual transaction is always simple and it only takes 2 people to accomplish. 99.99% of all transactions are just like that and completely unrelated from all other. Where is complexity?

Sounds like God to me

yes but where did the universe come from ? if it was completely empty before the big bang where did everything come from ?

He left a lot out and I don’t have to see it to know

how did ocean vents create organic material from inorganic components? is that just assumed in the goldilocks hypothesis?

Who believes this stuff?

Amazing claims require amazing evidence...you claim natural forces can make intelligent designs--this is impossible--and you know it Mr. Christian! Repent and receive Christ (the creator and the redeemer) who alone can set you free from your sin!

Fine Cork jersey on the grandson…..pity he will only be interested in the 36bn year history of Cork!

Complexity builds stage by stage? hahahahahahah
What utter laughable nonsense to anyone with a working brain who understands how life actually works

The mitochondria couldn't exist without the nucleus and other parts of the cell Only work in tandem with others.
The cell had to have been made at the same time for it to be possible or make any sense you fool.
It could not have possibly been built stage by stage... IMFUCKINGPOSSIBLe. Not unlikely. Impossible. Macro evolution is a hoax

What created the atom / big bang I think deep down we all know

super! found what I'd been looking for!

The theory of evolution again... nonsense 🥴

I love all the various theories on how we came to be. But until someone can actually go back in time and prove without a doubt what happened, these are all just therories. Check out the book Sapiens.

Where did it come from? The universe, whatever formed itself where did that come from, misleading scientists, jokes after jokes and west of time

Just 2mins in and there's an ad break.

If society collapses, I hope some survivors can find and watch this video to get caught back up 😂

My son is 11 we homeschool. He is learning big history

I love the ending. We fucked it all up but we’re gonna leave it to our grandkids to fix it😂😂😂 It’s so sad

I dont wanna hear the appearance of our species bs argument when you know damn well we are much older and its proven so fuckign tell the truth its legit in fkn stone

I feel we are here to break down complex energy. Protecting ourselves from strong geomagnetic storms holds priority.

Fantastic presentation 🙌🙏

Teilhard de Chardin was right.
