00:04today i'm going to tell you a story which may seem very strange
00:12galileo kepler newton each tried to explain events in the history of the universe
00:18has the universe always been here or is it finite is there something else that would
00:23lay these questions to rest it reopens that question of ultimate meaning
00:28how in the world did this start the simulation theory the multiverse you can't trust what's
00:34in front of your eyes come on that's that's ridiculous that belongs in the movies
00:41we want to take our metaphysical hypotheses and see what they point to and i can remember him
00:48saying here is evidence for what can only be described as a supernatural event he himself
00:55made a discovery that shook his personal philosophy the fact the universe sprang into being at a
01:02definite moment seems to me theological and it is science that has revealed this we are dealing
01:09with a system of manifold complex design personal force compared with the weak nuclear one part in
01:15canada 10 pounds turned out to be the tip of the iceberg we associate information with
01:24a rational intelligence behind it it had an uncanny resemblance to a digital bit string very much like
01:33an information carrier you can read the same segment forward to get one protein and backwards to get
01:39another it struck us with a tremendous impact without guidance we would get a life unfriendly universe
01:44many organisms have beauty beyond anything that's relevant for their survival value
01:50the concept of life as a cosmic phenomenon should have many consequences
01:59the question then was what does one do about it
02:02you
