What science can’t answer, according to physicist Jim Al-Khalili | Big Think

What question would you most like to see answered?

I thought my cell phone worked by magic. Imagine that!

To think that we will never know all the answers is better than to think that we can know all the answers, for there will always be awe of new understanding coming from an endless source of ways of being reality.

Besides, when I achieve new understanding new questions come, which makes me think about the mistery behind and produce Yūgen in me.

Every creation comes from a Creator, or Creators.

Science cannot explain spirituality!

There are so many things that technology cannot compete!

I've always really liked Jim Al-Khalili as a science educator/communicator ever since I saw his BBC series 'Atom.' It was exceptionally good, and really helped me get my first foothold in quantum mechanics. I had previously found the whole subject somewhat impenetrable, but that series really opened my eyes as to what it was all about. I am genuinely grateful to him for doing that.
He's not 'just' a professional physicist, he's a great communicator too, and has a very down to earth manner, which makes the difficult topics he covers so much more accessible, if not entirely comprehensible. But then we are talking about things which have baffled and intrigued some the greatest minds in the history of science.
I'll always look forward to seeing him talk about science, and of course physics in particular.

Why are we here?
What is our purpose?
What is the meaning of life?

I'm into the BIG questions of life. Some questions are scientific, others moral, philosophical, religious, spiritual, etc. Some questions aren't meant to be scientific.

you think humans will be here in 1000 years ?

Great stuff Jim.

Logic takes you from point "A" to "B".
Imagination takes you anywhere.
- Albert Einstein

I'd love to see him debate Richard Dawkins

Marvellous

I really like Jim Al-Khalili and appreciate everything he has done to educate and enlighten the masses.

Mainstream Science still has a long way to go on the way to combining with the Paranormal and the Unexplained..

Somebody in 2050 is going to say PHYJK was right 😊🌹

The title is misleading.

might not be much of a future to do more exploring in unless more is done to reverse climate change

You may think that not having all the answers about reality is beautiful but actually it's a type of ABUSE of us.

What a great and encouraging perspective! We can keep gaining knowledge, while still never losing awe and mystery.

Quanta, energy wave packets of design information designed to create, CREATION. How? Why? For the Creator to replicate himself and expand His observers to populate His existence. And to create future creators for further future creations.

Unfortunately physicists take a nonexistent force within the atom and claim this is what controls the entire universe. This creates an endless number of unsolvable mysteries and an endless number of well paid academic jobs and an endless amount of funding to basically become more and more confused.

When God created the earth and all things about 6500 years ago. He made our solar system a binary solar system with an orbit of 332 years. It was about a sort of time chart from God about how he destroyed evil men when it was necessary and to stump Scientist who think they are God 2 Peter. 3. The Flood was a time when a comet hit the earth and destroyed evil men because the world could not survive evil men living lives of hundreds of years old. When Christ died there was darkness on the earth for 3 hours, while the moon can only shade the earth for 7 minutes. The second coming of Christ will be after a great battle against good and evil known as the second age Eph. 2:7 of the last days Joel 2; Acts 2:17. If you multiply the orbit 332 years times six from 30AD you get 2022AD. I believe that in 2022 at the end of this year many will see a second sun that will be an indication that the Second Coming of the Lord is soon Rev. 22:20.

Bravo !!

We dont know a lot compared to what there is, we know a lot compared to what we knew

Dear Jim!
Never say never ))..

I wouldnt say so, definitively, I think there is beauty in not knowing to a certain degree. One example would be, in magic you can never have "that" awe again, once you know how its done. I believe somethings are just better to never be answered.

"The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing"

Above this world of seeming separation is the unifying mind. Form comes from thought.

It's so refreshing to hear someone smart admit that the future will look at us as savages.

"I know that I know nothing"-Socrates

we still dont know what we dont know..

Here is a question I would like to see answered - who made the moon ??

Rationality has a limit.

Understanding in science is like an exponential curve stretching into infinity. Many are standing on the curve, but don't even see the curve itself.

We reason we learn and discover, is because of the wonders in exploring the unknown. We never stop learning whenever we are alive. Anyone who believes that something could be understood completely, is a good example of "arrogance".

Based on my understanding from the video.
"The more we know, the more we know that we don't know".🤔

Ignorance will always be a bliss. You can't change it. Also, you're overreacting.

😁

2 questions guaranteed to make Theists run for the hills
1. What does one DO in Heaven? What WORK does the all-powerful magic being need to get done & need our help to get it done? So we end up with billions of lazy people shamelessly sponging off God, living like prostitutes, leeches, parasites do down here mooching off their rich Sugar Daddies!
An idle, lazy, useless and pointless existence for eternity!
2. What about our loved ones down on earth? Could they be starving, suffering, sick, homeless, the country at war, millions displaced, suffering, women raped!
But we don't care anymore?
So God keeps these uncaring, selfish leeches in cozy comfort?
The Grand Plan of God?
What?
What is chilling and frightening is to see the media NEVER ask Theists these questions - how many times have you seen priests on TV news media and how many times have these "journalists" throw friendly, easy questions at these people?

We don't know what we don't know, and never will.

The question is really why does Science has to provide an answer for everything? It is ignorance to assume so, for example, the "theory of everything", and the rest of the nonsense.

I'm not sure if everyone will appreciate the way this video edited, I'm amazed at the editor's creativity and the way he/she sets a precedence for what's coming. Awesome work. Very immersive video!

The moon and sun were resulted of earth's dynamic gravity during its falling through space

That is more effective than satellite it is a proected eye from earth into sky and all we need is the telescope look at the pupils and see everything on that side of earth

The world is full of Magic as quated. What if the existence of God is just Magic.

Good video. One thing I would add is that those gaps in our knowledge can't just be filled with any old goofy nonsense, which happens sometimes. ;-)

Discover and LEARN HOW, to access "The Processing System of LIFE" ! The human body is just part of a 'STORY', displayed in the form of a 'Holographic Simulation', in a very small Display Register, of "The Processing System of LIFE", while "LIFE The Real Self" resides in "The Place of LIFE", outside the Display Register of "The Processing System of LIFE" !

Enjoyed podcast on the more we know the more we don't know!

Everything is so organised in nature so beautiful it is And I wonder how beautiful the creator will be.We can't even imagine .

Only creator ALLAH is the answer to every mystery and we are in preparatory phase and final examination is ahead when everything will destroyed The final examination will start. We should prepare ourself for this.And Islam is the only religion that is helping people for this exam.The real exam.Think about it.

I can appreciate this. I read where you should be wary of any scientist who wont say I dont know..
