This episode was recorded on May 7th 2021 On this episode of the Jordan Peterson Podcast, Jordan is accompanied by American-Canadian theoretical physicist and cosmologist Lawrence M. Krauss. Throughout his career, Dr. Krauss has made remarkable contributions to the field of research on particle physics and cosmology. Dr. Krauss formerly worked at Yale University, Case Western Reserve University, and Arizona State University. Dr. Krauss also founded ASU’s Origins Project, a non-profit corporation that holds public panel discussions on science, culture, and social issues. Some of his work includes popular books such as The Physics of Star Trek and A Universe from Nothing. Jordan and Lawrence sit down to discuss a variety of topics in the mind boggling world of quantum physics. They spend time discussing generated models of the beginning of our universe, the law breaking complexities of quantum physics, the ramifications related to entropy, the usefulness of the scientific method, as well as the instinctive behaviour for religious compulsion among human beings.

[2:00] Jordan kicks things off by positing a description of entropy for discussion relating to complexity in systems of matter, time, and energy. [13:00] Krauss expounds on the value of overcoming failure. [16:00] Peterson prompts Krauss to expand on times in his career where the redirection of an experiment led to incredible discovery that was not related to his original intention or hypothesis. [21:30] The science of cosmology, taking the listeners back to the beginning of our universe through theoretical models. [27:00] The size of the universe, is it a reasonable question to ask? [41:00] Exploring the concept of time relative to change, space, and matter. [44:30] Talking about the creation of the universe looking at matter versus antimatter distribution. [56:00] The current picture (based on models of the matter and antimatter at the beginning of the universe). [1:01:00] The ability of the laws of physics to fluctuate at different energy levels (scale,size). The formation of all the foundational elements in existence. [1:10:00] Quantum fluctuation, quantum mechanics, quantum ground state, the resonant wavelength of electrons, and much more. [1:20:30] Lawrence Krauss gives his summarization of the interpretation of quantum mechanics and complexity. [1:25:30] Debating meaning, truth, reality, and reason in the universe. The complex and strained relationship between the scientific method and religious instin ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF_SwujfiYk

This is a Question and Answer session that I set up for my Patreon subscribers (www.patreon.com/jordanbpeterson) Thanks very much to all 3500 of my Patreon supporters. As I described in this video, I plan to put the monetary support to good use. First, the Biblical series (you can find the first two, soon to be three, lectures on this youtube channel). Second, a discussion series with Islamic thinkers about the relationship between Islam and the West. Third, my longer-term plans to make classic humanities education available world-wide. Fourth, my work with my business partners on developing online software (like that at selfauthoring.com) to teach people how to write well -- and, at the same time (because it's the same thing), how to think. Fifth, the development and implementation of a plan to accredit people properly for the university-level education that they will soon be able to receive online. That's a good start. Thanks to all of you for increasing its probability, and for the support, psychological, practical and monetary. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GSUG_B-new

Update: on May 18, C16 sailed through the Canadian Senate with no amendments. I served as a witness at the Canadian Senate yesterday, regarding Bill C16, which adds the ill-defined categories of gender expression and gender identity to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination. The Federal government, in a website which has since been taken down, stated clearly that this legislation would be interpreted in keeping with the policies of the Ontario Human Rights Commission, which I regard as one of the most dangerous institutions in Canada, in relationship to all rights other than those of "equality," including freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of association. I was partnered with lawyer Jared Brown, whose courageous and detailed analysis of Bill C16 can be found here: https://litigationguy.wordpress.com/2016/12/24/bill-c-16-whats-the-big-deal/ which amends the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code --- SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL --- Direct Support: https://www.jordanbpeterson.com/donate Merchandise: https://teespring.com/stores/jordanbpeterson ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnIAAkSNtqo
