On any given night around the world, thousands of people peer into deep space because of John Dobson. An 89-year old with a white ponytail and a knack for comedy, John Dobson revolutionized astronomy. He is the inventor of the Dobsonian telescope mount, which changed the field of astronomy dramatically, making telescopes accessible to the public on every continent.

A former Vedanta monk, he is a co-founder of 'Sidewalk Astronomers,' an organization that encourages amateurs to share their telescopes and knowledge with others on busy city streets and in national parks 'so people can see something of the Universe in which they were born.' The film follows John as he tours the country from the sidewalks of San Francisco to Stellafane, a convention of telescope makers in Vermont. It features sequences on sidewalk astronomy, telescope making, the Moon, Sun, major planets, galaxies, Big Bang Theory, and the nature of time and space.

We also get to know Dobson, a fascinating thinker, philosopher, teacher, and human being. This astronomical and cosmological journey is illustrated with actual film footage and stills of space shot from satellites and spacecraft courtesy of NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Goddard Space Flight Center and the Hubble Space Telescope Institute.

'A Sidewalk Astronomer is an inspiring film about an inspired teacher. It should leave all viewers with an ounce of curiosity eager to hit the streets with Dobsonian telescopes of their own.' Dana Stevens, New York Times

'This film will thrill astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts. It provides a look into the life and accomplishments of a folk-hero among astronomers, and gives much to ponder about the universe and the nature of time and space. Non-astronomers should find enough to inspire an interest in the universe and its wonders. Recommended, Highly Recommended for astronomers.' David Bertuca, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, Educational Media Reviews Online

'Here is a spectacular, and masterfully produced presentation, starring the inventor of the Dobson telescope, who boldly and humorously devastates two sacred cows of cosmology, the Big Bang and the expanding universe interpretation of the red shift.' 21st Century Science and Technology Magazine

'Resource meets CLRN Review Criteria.' California Learning Resource Network

'This is a fine film about an engaging and amazing character...[A Sidewalk Astronomer] would appeal to a broad audience - certainly, to anyone who has ever gazed in wonder at the sky on a moonless night.' AAAS's Science Books and Films

'Fascinating viewing...Highly recommended.' Library Journal

ABOUT JOHN DOBSON:

''It's not that he thinks outside the box,' reflects filmmaker Jacobs. 'He doesn't even see the box.' Or, for that matter, believe in the Big Bang. 'First of all, they have it coming out of nothing and that's impossible,' he says. 'And then they have it coming out of a black hole and that's just as impossible.' Dobson believes in something bigger than the bang. 'He thinks he's got the secret to the universe,' complains one astronomer. Chortles Dobson, 'hundreds of years ago they would have already burned me at the stake.'' Smithsonian Magazine

WEBVTT

00:00:36.910 --> 00:00:44.910
We got it at high power ammonia.

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.519
Yeah it comes seeing the moon

00:00:59.530 --> 00:01:03.409
Awesome and that\'s the
way the moon would love

00:01:03.410 --> 00:01:07.350
one hour before you landed on
it we\'re looking at the moon.

00:01:07.860 --> 00:01:15.860
Thanks really cool moly what a 3D point

00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:23.449
out that those day as I always say the extra
year decorator does lovely work in Cuba.

00:01:23.450 --> 00:01:26.838
I may seem absolutely kinda.

00:01:26.839 --> 00:01:30.174
Can you explain how this works works fine

00:01:30.175 --> 00:01:34.609
if the light comes down through
here and hits a mirror and it was a

00:01:34.610 --> 00:01:37.759
mirroring yourself I don\'t
look at their front end On

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:44.289
the front end there\'s a concave mirror
there the light hits that and then hits

00:01:44.290 --> 00:01:52.290
this little mirror here and it
comes out into here the Moons

00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.284
all craters on the moon in this data Crater

00:01:56.285 --> 00:02:00.289
that\'s what makes it
obsolete telescope it\'s a

00:02:00.290 --> 00:02:03.769
retarded it doesn\'t track things across
the sky photography because it\'s

00:02:03.770 --> 00:02:07.728
not equatorial no tutorial planes you
need to know doesn\'t do that yeah.

00:02:07.729 --> 00:02:11.479
So you can\'t put a clock drive on
it well we could but we don\'t do

00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:15.409
it this runs on yogurt and

00:02:15.410 --> 00:02:20.419
eggs yogurt and eggs So

00:02:20.420 --> 00:02:23.089
how how big a cross are those
craters that we\'re looking at

00:02:23.090 --> 00:02:26.199
generally like the bigger one alright
I\'ll show you when you Okay.

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:29.849
The one you\'re looking as it
had begun his biggest Texas.

00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:35.479
Right now you\'ll see three dark
smooth areas into row three darks

00:02:35.480 --> 00:02:37.549
for their a\'s in a row
we dark split it yes I

00:02:37.550 --> 00:02:39.769
see that the middle one is
this here triad quality

00:02:39.770 --> 00:02:43.999
that\'s as big as R. Again if you had a
picture of Oregon that big Could you

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:49.398
see Bartlett nevermind the footprints.

00:02:49.399 --> 00:02:57.399
I would think yes as

00:02:58.610 --> 00:03:00.799
I always say the exterior
decorator does love me

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:07.949
work I needed this right now we\'re
looking at the moon currency the bone.

00:03:12.550 --> 00:03:16.939
Could I look again this isn\'t like

00:03:16.940 --> 00:03:21.633
ice cream you can have as many servings as
you want and when is it waxing or waning.

00:03:21.634 --> 00:03:24.454
When the bright part is getting
fatter is who actually

00:03:24.455 --> 00:03:27.693
waxing and the right part is
getting thinner as waning.

00:03:27.694 --> 00:03:35.694
And waxing so I\'d waxes from new to
full wanes from full to new amazing.

00:03:35.764 --> 00:03:38.959
Now the reason you can see
the mountains so well is

00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.589
because the sun is shining on one side
and not shining on the other side

00:03:42.590 --> 00:03:44.959
look again you\'ll see The manager lives

00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.329
on one side and shady on one
side that\'s why you can

00:03:47.330 --> 00:03:53.219
see them when the moon is full you
can\'t see the mountain sides.

00:03:55.200 --> 00:04:01.890
Now you belong to a minority.

00:04:14.590 --> 00:04:16.818
Language you know besides

00:04:16.819 --> 00:04:24.819
English Beijing meogeoyo We\'re

00:04:26.715 --> 00:04:33.153
looking at each other we\'re looking at the
moon and high-power solvent the crater.

00:04:33.154 --> 00:04:37.159
No it\'s not all one big
craters millions of creators.

00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.608
But there\'s one with his
Greek mountains around like

00:04:40.609 --> 00:04:44.190
that that creators beginner to protect.

00:04:45.940 --> 00:04:49.443
Only the shady side is cool.

00:04:49.444 --> 00:04:52.819
Like well how could they look at
it you\'re looking at it so that\'s

00:04:52.820 --> 00:04:58.638
so exciting telescope is
how many seconds away when

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.178
they went there seconds or light
comes from or something like

00:05:02.179 --> 00:05:06.078
that because around the way accurately

00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:14.079
the separation is 0 Oh I get so
complicated no it\'s not complicated.

00:05:15.414 --> 00:05:18.159
More complicated the way you think it is

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.878
because you think something\'s
moving around like that and nobody

00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:29.150
ever saw anything we\'re doing
that there aren\'t any photons

00:05:34.950 --> 00:05:40.299
but at any rate the way we
usually see it it\'s a quarter of

00:05:40.300 --> 00:05:45.519
a million miles out there and it takes the
light Weiner 1 third and seconds to get here

00:05:45.520 --> 00:05:50.709
as the way we usually see it
as where we really talk about

00:05:50.710 --> 00:05:56.589
it But you know

00:05:56.590 --> 00:06:02.844
what if somebody told me the other day the
universe is mostly hydrogen and ignorance.

00:06:02.845 --> 00:06:10.670
Which can kind of see it

00:06:15.630 --> 00:06:23.244
now you see that richer mountains that long
ridge of mountains as the edge of a crater

00:06:23.245 --> 00:06:30.878
the creators being endeavor to protect
this and the whole higher the mountain.

00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.204
Those mountains are as high as the Alps.

00:06:33.205 --> 00:06:37.989
Really. Yeah But when they
see the Moon they are

00:06:37.990 --> 00:06:42.698
shocked the public is so for they
see them on one of the reasons we

00:06:42.699 --> 00:06:45.518
do this is so that people can see beyond

00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.328
their genetic programming epigenetic
programming so these are clouds so

00:06:49.329 --> 00:06:52.629
that\'s blue sky between the clouds and these
are trees and these are plants and these

00:06:52.630 --> 00:06:56.139
are flowers and these are Bs and these
are people and these are dogs and cats.

00:06:56.140 --> 00:06:59.034
All those things are covered
by your genetic programming

00:06:59.035 --> 00:07:02.514
but when you look through the telescope
and see the mountains on the moon demo.

00:07:02.515 --> 00:07:07.658
You\'re gone as shut up I just say about
it and they have nothing to say about

00:07:07.659 --> 00:07:11.049
Saturn\'s rings and they have nothing to
say about galaxies or any of that stuff

00:07:11.050 --> 00:07:14.619
you see so you see when you let
people look through a telescope.

00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:18.919
They at least have a way of seeing
something From the standpoint

00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:23.989
of a Jeddah have not had before comment
if you did not get orange flyers.

00:07:23.990 --> 00:07:27.138
Alright. Then you\'re going
to have to spread them

00:07:27.139 --> 00:07:33.528
around this smooth areas a big crater where
the asteroid went all the way through

00:07:33.529 --> 00:07:36.618
the cross down to the mantle
and if an asteroid cakes

00:07:36.619 --> 00:07:40.428
the rocks on the top off then the
lava melts and it comes up in floods

00:07:40.429 --> 00:07:44.449
in okay going and this is
a smaller crater this is

00:07:44.450 --> 00:07:48.859
called Copernicus and you have
to think what happens when you

00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:52.518
have an asteroid coming in so hard that it

00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:56.238
leaves a whole big enough
to put Los Angeles in

00:07:56.239 --> 00:07:59.899
the home what you have is
a tremendous explosion

00:07:59.900 --> 00:08:04.743
Vaporized stone stone
moose stones steam okay.

00:08:04.744 --> 00:08:07.669
And it condenses to spherical glass beads.

00:08:07.670 --> 00:08:09.709
So that should all this white stuff is

00:08:09.710 --> 00:08:13.398
easy glass beads stream is go and let\'s
have another picture of the Moon.

00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.488
She when the moon is full UCL
is glass beads stream is really

00:08:16.489 --> 00:08:21.994
crater Tico marathon 100 miles long they
reach from San Francisco to Denver.

00:08:21.995 --> 00:08:24.423
Are from New York to Chicago.

00:08:24.424 --> 00:08:29.299
The tidal effect of earth on the moon.

00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:33.259
Has stopped the spin of
the moon with respect to

00:08:33.260 --> 00:08:39.408
the Earth the moon keeps the same
side facing us all the time doesn\'t

00:08:39.409 --> 00:08:40.938
matter when you\'re looking
at the moon you see

00:08:40.939 --> 00:08:48.939
the same side And it has four girls
came in looking at it for a moment and

00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.128
since ammonia is thought I\'d
call them bed when the moon is

00:08:52.129 --> 00:08:55.158
full you don\'t see their managers
can actually face you see

00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:59.269
the glass vivid detail and said 1
third years service on the moon

00:08:59.270 --> 00:09:03.468
1 third of their service and
their mood is as glass as said

00:09:03.469 --> 00:09:08.028
it\'s all over blast speed and the
escrow says How do you know that I

00:09:08.029 --> 00:09:13.489
said really astronauts went there
they brought that back some wind.

00:09:13.490 --> 00:09:19.499
Sounds utilized So and as retries

00:09:29.640 --> 00:09:35.643
a really profound way find by going up.

00:09:35.644 --> 00:09:38.928
Yellow and I can well imagine
that upon planet must be

00:09:38.929 --> 00:09:41.739
aware that they may got abandoned fed by

00:09:41.740 --> 00:09:48.900
a great man had gone over to hail
a third party present plenty bad

00:09:58.690 --> 00:10:02.850
Right now it is not caused by after

00:10:04.900 --> 00:10:12.900
our animal half-timbered unreal.

00:10:13.400 --> 00:10:17.118
What you do see on the
Moon is when they stuffed

00:10:17.119 --> 00:10:20.649
in there dirt to just goes up
and down there is no desktop.

00:10:20.650 --> 00:10:25.038
The desk goes the same way
the voters go over and down

00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:30.408
the desk as the same way the volunteers
go and you can\'t do that here and

00:10:30.409 --> 00:10:33.378
where that machine is running the stuff
goes out from behind the wheel up like

00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:36.468
this because there\'s no air to keep

00:10:36.469 --> 00:10:43.889
the desktop there An appealing sign an apt

00:10:46.410 --> 00:10:54.410
for PMMA getting p7 in

00:10:55.490 --> 00:11:00.840
their arm and oil

00:11:02.850 --> 00:11:10.850
and an Adam got abandoned
main nanowires and me like

00:11:16.540 --> 00:11:19.414
Adam is talking to God.

00:11:19.415 --> 00:11:22.729
Just after God has made Eve And

00:11:22.730 --> 00:11:26.298
Adam is kind of complaining to guard
How can you made her so Sweden so

00:11:26.299 --> 00:11:33.574
I tracked him and he guides head so you\'re
liker well how can we measure so stupid.

00:11:33.575 --> 00:11:35.850
So she like you

00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:57.769
I have to tell you another
story I had to tell you

00:11:57.770 --> 00:12:00.198
another story this is a story about

00:12:00.199 --> 00:12:03.483
the future when the scientists
have learned to make life.

00:12:03.484 --> 00:12:08.344
So as they approached God and suggests that
you might consider an early retirement.

00:12:08.345 --> 00:12:11.254
After all it was always
your job to make life.

00:12:11.255 --> 00:12:15.394
Now that we\'ve gotten that done you
might consider early retirement.

00:12:15.395 --> 00:12:19.549
So God wanted to see how they
do it so they take him down

00:12:19.550 --> 00:12:23.133
to the lab and the scientist
says first you take some dirt.

00:12:23.134 --> 00:12:25.830
He said get your own dirt.

00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:37.080
These are the main jobs I know we\'re
in Vermont but then the main terms

00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:49.680
but it\'s as we all know what a Dobson
telescope is you watch it but I\'m not really

00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.808
sure how many of us are quite aware
of the incredible contribution

00:12:56.809 --> 00:13:02.404
that challenge Dobson has made and he
stands really right next to Newton.

00:13:02.405 --> 00:13:07.698
In his role in creating a telescope that he

00:13:07.699 --> 00:13:12.469
says is used for the rest of us John
it is such an honor to have you

00:13:12.470 --> 00:13:20.470
here each here it\'s developing
But years ago I was in

00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:25.549
Boston to do a program and
there was a lady from

00:13:25.550 --> 00:13:29.838
South America they\'re in charge
of feeding me and sleeping me

00:13:29.839 --> 00:13:34.998
and in her inimitable accent she
said I don\'t know much about

00:13:34.999 --> 00:13:40.489
astronomy but I read in the magazines there
are these different kinds of telescopes.

00:13:40.490 --> 00:13:44.689
There are newtonian telescopes and
there are dapsone and telescopes.

00:13:44.690 --> 00:13:49.518
I thought Dobson died a long time ago the

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:54.559
first time I taught it tells Romanian
class was in San Francisco and

00:13:54.560 --> 00:13:57.229
somebody called out who is John God said I

00:13:57.230 --> 00:14:00.454
said I am He says You are you
are you are an astronomer

00:14:00.455 --> 00:14:03.349
and I said no I never took
an astronomy Carson my life

00:14:03.350 --> 00:14:07.650
better when it comes to making
telescopes that are junk Stanley.

00:14:07.660 --> 00:14:11.509
When I first made one of
these telescopes my friend

00:14:11.510 --> 00:14:14.583
Tom you can grind your own glass
I thought he was nuts you see

00:14:14.584 --> 00:14:17.448
but when he showed me that you can
really grandeur on glass we made it

00:14:17.449 --> 00:14:20.568
12 introduce him Hi first
solve a third quarter Moons

00:14:20.569 --> 00:14:23.449
without I thought oh my god
everybody\'s gotta see this

00:14:23.450 --> 00:14:27.019
that\'s really what happened
to me as soon as I saw what

00:14:27.020 --> 00:14:29.629
you can see through a telescope
I thought everybody\'s got to

00:14:29.630 --> 00:14:32.358
see this because what we aren\'t
nearly C is nothing like

00:14:32.359 --> 00:14:34.609
what the universe really
is about what prompted

00:14:34.610 --> 00:14:37.039
you then to take some of the
telescopes that you build or helped

00:14:37.040 --> 00:14:38.959
other Building and take them
out to the national parks

00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:40.969
through the smaller telescopes Within

00:14:40.970 --> 00:14:42.978
the cities you can see
the planets and the moon

00:14:42.979 --> 00:14:45.454
when with us and telescope
you can see the sun.

00:14:45.455 --> 00:14:48.259
Because those things are not intimidated

00:14:48.260 --> 00:14:51.184
by these lights none of them
are especially the sun.

00:14:51.185 --> 00:14:52.728
But if you want to see the rest of

00:14:52.729 --> 00:14:56.389
the galaxy galaxies and things rest
university need a big telescope like this and

00:14:56.390 --> 00:15:01.804
you need to get away as I always say
high above above 11 kilometres from LA.

00:15:01.805 --> 00:15:04.143
You\'ve gotta get out of the cities.

00:15:04.144 --> 00:15:09.138
So if you want to know where out away from
the city is the American public goes it\'s

00:15:09.139 --> 00:15:14.238
in the national parks and national
parks are fabulous seeing conditions

00:15:14.239 --> 00:15:17.899
and they have all the
people already there You

00:15:17.900 --> 00:15:21.349
know for a long time the resistor in
backyard destroy enemies were not

00:15:21.350 --> 00:15:26.029
back out as a sidewalk histone we\'re doing
in the front yard okay everybody can

00:15:26.030 --> 00:15:30.949
see we\'ve got to raise the leg gear
Delhi\'s O\'Hare Hollywood and Vine.

00:15:30.950 --> 00:15:32.899
We\'ve gotta places whether
people are what\'s so

00:15:32.900 --> 00:15:35.629
special about this tell it these
telescopes that they become known as

00:15:35.630 --> 00:15:37.669
Thompson\'s they go up and down like

00:15:37.670 --> 00:15:40.639
a cannon and they go round and
round like a Canon this is

00:15:40.640 --> 00:15:42.829
the simplest solution to aiming

00:15:42.830 --> 00:15:46.188
anywhere above the horizon and having
it stay there when you let go.

00:15:46.189 --> 00:15:51.123
He started the whole Large Telescope.

00:15:51.124 --> 00:15:53.268
Feel for amateurs.

00:15:53.269 --> 00:16:01.269
Because without the dapsone and mountain you
could build reasonable Eight or ten inches.

00:16:01.669 --> 00:16:08.949
You know that\'s how we were able to build
25-30 inch 36 inch dapsone and scope.

00:16:11.170 --> 00:16:14.808
This is the only way they had
did telescopes right from

00:16:14.809 --> 00:16:17.899
this one right here heavy
duty equatorial mount.

00:16:17.900 --> 00:16:20.868
If you add anything eight inches
that was big now you have

00:16:20.869 --> 00:16:27.949
a low cheap flexible light-weight
managed managed system the other thing

00:16:27.950 --> 00:16:31.158
is that also made us he made him
affordable these things so he is able

00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:35.598
to open up scale of
astronomy that hadn\'t been

00:16:35.599 --> 00:16:37.849
there before you\'re gonna
take a lot more people

00:16:37.850 --> 00:16:40.518
are getting involved
room they\'re able to get

00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:45.833
involved with cheaper Larger telescopes and
experience it better the larger the optics.

00:16:45.834 --> 00:16:48.319
It better and more light they
gather the more light together the

00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.108
better you can save things start

00:16:51.109 --> 00:16:56.884
a revolution now people were getting
14 16-17 20-25 minutes telescope.

00:16:56.885 --> 00:16:59.149
Something I never would have dreamed up I

00:16:59.150 --> 00:17:01.549
thought I\'d have to build an
observatory I thought I\'d have to

00:17:01.550 --> 00:17:04.878
spend thousands and thousands
of dollars I mean he built

00:17:04.879 --> 00:17:07.159
a saw him yesterday in the
Tennessee belt telescope

00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:09.168
for seven bucks and when it\'s one thing to

00:17:09.169 --> 00:17:11.718
look at pictures but to look
at it in your eyes really

00:17:11.719 --> 00:17:14.749
different than patrons pictures
don\'t do it and edited it for

00:17:14.750 --> 00:17:18.619
me when I actually found my
first deep sky objects in

00:17:18.620 --> 00:17:23.018
the middle of the winter was my little
two inch desktop refractor growing.

00:17:23.019 --> 00:17:27.059
I was hooked I was never the same again.

00:17:28.780 --> 00:17:36.780
His design was priceless gift to really
not just two astronomers buttons or to

00:17:39.739 --> 00:17:44.328
people how you can\'t put a price
on that he could have patented

00:17:44.329 --> 00:17:51.589
that design and made a lot of money but
he pretty much just cave that idea.

00:17:51.590 --> 00:17:56.389
Away. So that other
people could copy it and

00:17:56.390 --> 00:18:01.819
proliferate amateur astronomy
to a home it\'s the simplest way

00:18:01.820 --> 00:18:05.148
to aim above the horizon or why
they held they blame me for

00:18:05.149 --> 00:18:10.819
it We just wanted to see what was going on

00:18:10.820 --> 00:18:14.239
out there and the easiest way
to aim is above this way and

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:18.019
run it around this way and
it\'s like reinventing the cup

00:18:18.020 --> 00:18:20.719
or reinventing this Boone we\'ve had him all

00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:25.759
alone there were going to give me
an award for public service in

00:18:25.760 --> 00:18:29.509
the astronomical society in
Oakland you see as East Bay from

00:18:29.510 --> 00:18:31.879
San Francisco and if they\'re gonna

00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:34.804
do that somebody\'s gonna sweet
talk you in front of the crowd.

00:18:34.805 --> 00:18:37.578
So there\'s sweet talking sweet
talking they dub solely

00:18:37.579 --> 00:18:40.324
in revolution that dubs
Sony and revolution.

00:18:40.325 --> 00:18:44.958
I got up and said all the previous revolutions
were run with the cannons on dubs Sony and

00:18:44.959 --> 00:18:52.959
mounts When I was

00:18:53.210 --> 00:18:55.384
in high school I was an atheist.

00:18:55.385 --> 00:19:00.019
I could see that these two notions
cannot arise and this aim

00:19:00.020 --> 00:19:04.518
being to do unto others as
you would that they do unto

00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:12.319
you and if you\'re not a good boy it sent
to hell for teams there is no way that

00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:16.339
these two ideas can coexist and so I

00:19:16.340 --> 00:19:21.409
became an atheist a belligerent
atheist I would take on anybody.

00:19:21.410 --> 00:19:24.259
So what happened was meant quite a lot of

00:19:24.260 --> 00:19:27.408
years later musician friend of mine

00:19:27.409 --> 00:19:31.504
Lou Harrison Greed you hear a
lecture on a Sunday morning.

00:19:31.505 --> 00:19:35.569
Now here I am I belligerent aviod
going to hear a lecture on

00:19:35.570 --> 00:19:40.309
a Sunday morning and it\'s certainly
that man opened his mouth I knew I\'d

00:19:40.310 --> 00:19:44.058
made a mistake I could see that either

00:19:44.059 --> 00:19:47.809
there\'s something underneath this
world which I haven\'t noticed or

00:19:47.810 --> 00:19:52.338
this guy\'s not here it\'s

00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:57.738
a little bit I think like what Einstein
said when they gave him when he was

00:19:57.739 --> 00:20:01.639
a little kid somebody gave him
a magnet And he said later on

00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:06.079
about it he said something
deeply hidden had to be

00:20:06.080 --> 00:20:14.080
behind things this one knows about that
one emphatic about this something deeply

00:20:14.869 --> 00:20:18.858
hidden had to be behind things so
that\'s what I must have seen you

00:20:18.859 --> 00:20:24.679
see now once you become persuaded
that there is something underneath.

00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.339
If you become persuaded that
there\'s something to do

00:20:28.340 --> 00:20:32.418
about it then you find
out that people who are

00:20:32.419 --> 00:20:35.899
trying to do something about
it and they happen to be

00:20:35.900 --> 00:20:39.858
monastics by 1940 I were
seriously interested

00:20:39.859 --> 00:20:43.458
in doing something about
it Swami sent me back to

00:20:43.459 --> 00:20:48.589
the university I had to finish at the
university organized monasticism is

00:20:48.590 --> 00:20:51.469
Buddha\'s personal invention there were

00:20:51.470 --> 00:20:58.008
no organized monasteries before that we\'re
called the Vedanta Ian\'s Veda means knowledge

00:20:58.009 --> 00:21:00.829
and undermines culmination
there out so Vedanta

00:21:00.830 --> 00:21:03.858
just means culmination of
knowledge as Khalid mean and

00:21:03.859 --> 00:21:10.984
so they\'re they\'re primarily interested
in information not just spooky stuff.

00:21:10.985 --> 00:21:16.459
Man who follow the order Swami Vivekananda
he wanted Assad who has Holy Ban to go

00:21:16.460 --> 00:21:22.084
from village to village with magic lantern
is to educate the villagers in science.

00:21:22.085 --> 00:21:25.459
He wanted it done You grab hold of the top

00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:28.084
here put your foot on the
on the tip of our tomato.

00:21:28.085 --> 00:21:30.724
You\'re off like a rickshaw yeah
you\'re automatically workshop.

00:21:30.725 --> 00:21:33.649
So as you\'ll hear them around the
neighborhood like that so some kid

00:21:33.650 --> 00:21:36.558
would see it he\'d ask what\'s
that I said it\'s a telescope do

00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:39.588
you want to borrow it of course you
have to borrow it but then some of

00:21:39.589 --> 00:21:42.859
those people wanted to make their own
telescopes then I was in real trouble.

00:21:42.860 --> 00:21:45.348
Then I had to decide either I
told these people to go to

00:21:45.349 --> 00:21:48.259
hell or I helped them make
telescopes and probably

00:21:48.260 --> 00:21:50.718
get thrown out of the monastery
and I didn\'t tell them to

00:21:50.719 --> 00:21:53.329
go there anyway I wanted
to hear all it troubles

00:21:53.330 --> 00:21:54.559
that you had come

00:21:54.560 --> 00:21:58.609
on to the perimeter

00:21:58.610 --> 00:22:02.283
should I be going you\'ve got to get
your curve all the way out to the end.

00:22:02.284 --> 00:22:05.988
Come on and see this and seen this figured

00:22:05.989 --> 00:22:09.978
out Down and open spot it figure out
the distance in insensitive and

00:22:09.979 --> 00:22:11.959
wash myself you see this was

00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:14.554
his original curve this is

00:22:14.555 --> 00:22:17.508
a curve that has been grinding
when he hasn\'t gotten it all the

00:22:17.509 --> 00:22:21.078
way through he has a value take this
pair of farther down through why do you

00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:27.019
have to do is to go over here and

00:22:27.020 --> 00:22:28.399
then charities as a marathon

00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:30.269
a bottom-up

00:22:40.540 --> 00:22:41.838
version

00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:41.899
of

00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:45.613
Foolish to push deeper 60 radians misdeeds

00:22:45.614 --> 00:22:51.600
religious purposes pretty
gram matrices I think

00:22:58.750 --> 00:23:02.179
everybody knew I was running
around helping people make

00:23:02.180 --> 00:23:04.908
telescopes they already
knew that you see but in

00:23:04.909 --> 00:23:07.474
the monastery your expected and not to be

00:23:07.475 --> 00:23:12.858
awol absent without leave in the
monastery it is assumed that you

00:23:12.859 --> 00:23:20.688
were awol you did it so
that\'s the problem there

00:23:20.689 --> 00:23:24.558
you see and so somebody who
was asked to watch for me and

00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:28.879
he couldn\'t find me when I was out
in front of the big brick wall.

00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:31.849
Reading between there and there Sidewalk.

00:23:31.850 --> 00:23:34.159
With Mrs. fit and her two kids I\'ve got

00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:39.093
three witnesses but I was reported
missing and I was asked to live.

00:23:39.094 --> 00:23:45.319
So in 1967 by 1968 we

00:23:45.320 --> 00:23:52.219
started the sidewalk astronomers
laughed at Sidewalk as shown me you.

00:23:52.220 --> 00:23:57.079
Giving that when I first moved
to 25 to chimp sanctuary teams

00:23:57.080 --> 00:24:02.388
actually is a paste at its most
busy place in on-call whoa.

00:24:02.389 --> 00:24:07.083
That was a long queue 300 people.

00:24:07.084 --> 00:24:12.109
So touching the feeling they know
from the skull and see the Jupiter

00:24:12.110 --> 00:24:17.584
and see And Saturn sitting there just long

00:24:17.585 --> 00:24:22.129
of course and if we one has the same
response now you see if there were

00:24:22.130 --> 00:24:29.088
a million people with telescopes willing
to get them out for the public.

00:24:29.089 --> 00:24:34.429
There would be a chance for the people born
on this world to see where the hell they

00:24:34.430 --> 00:24:39.948
are made UP we\'ll first thompson
Yeah yeah oh when you come.

00:24:39.949 --> 00:24:45.018
Please. Your first idea of the
top Sonya and Mickey political.

00:24:45.019 --> 00:24:47.928
I wanted to I didn\'t have
any idea I\'ve just tried to

00:24:47.929 --> 00:24:50.748
him above the horizon ha yeah
I wasn\'t trying to start

00:24:50.749 --> 00:24:53.359
anything they shouldn\'t have
called them Jacksonian but

00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:56.643
there\'s this interest rate
aim above The horizon.

00:24:56.644 --> 00:24:59.298
Up and down the train route
around this but what the LLC is

00:24:59.299 --> 00:25:02.538
there but you know what
happened was back in

00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:05.629
the 60s that telescopes were foragers and

00:25:05.630 --> 00:25:08.988
six insurers and they were
too small to show Galaxy.

00:25:08.989 --> 00:25:13.909
So the only way they could do a set of one
machinery so they trapping for photography.

00:25:13.910 --> 00:25:17.389
There you can see in the picture
with your eyes in the daytime.

00:25:17.390 --> 00:25:20.299
But you can\'t see the galaxy
as it goes gravity right so

00:25:20.300 --> 00:25:26.283
then your net them see through a 10-inch
or they go bananas they go nuts.

00:25:26.284 --> 00:25:30.319
They cannot believe that the moon
looks as though you can walk on

00:25:30.320 --> 00:25:34.009
it and they can\'t believe that Jupiter has

00:25:34.010 --> 00:25:36.229
moons like that They might
believe a little bit

00:25:36.230 --> 00:25:38.734
about those but they certainly
again believe that the

00:25:38.735 --> 00:25:44.538
exterior decorator Kang something like
Saturn out there no that\'s not acceptable.

00:25:44.539 --> 00:25:50.314
This is Saturn from the ground let\'s have
the next one is not from the ground.

00:25:50.315 --> 00:25:54.889
Now you\'ll see the space and the hole
in the ring here there\'s real men

00:25:54.890 --> 00:25:59.539
that space to drop the Moon
through it got the picture

00:25:59.540 --> 00:26:03.349
this is y this is 2 thousand miles across

00:26:03.350 --> 00:26:07.638
this graph here and there\'s room to
drop the Earth and Venus together

00:26:07.639 --> 00:26:11.149
through here there\'s about
16 thousand miles across

00:26:11.150 --> 00:26:17.040
here and this is almost big enough
to put a thousand Earths in psi

00:26:26.290 --> 00:26:33.783
This is an orbiting snowstorm this
ring and it not as old as Saturn.

00:26:33.784 --> 00:26:36.349
Then one of Saturn\'s learns made out of

00:26:36.350 --> 00:26:42.079
water ice mostly water ice cartoon crushes
Saturn and the tidal effects of Saturn

00:26:42.080 --> 00:26:46.489
smashed it to an orbiting snowstorm So

00:26:46.490 --> 00:26:51.198
this is Jupiter with the great red
spot now if you had a blanket.

00:26:51.199 --> 00:26:55.788
Big enough to show the next one please
if you added blanket big enough to

00:26:55.789 --> 00:27:00.139
cover the great red spot you
can wrap the whole Earth up in

00:27:00.140 --> 00:27:05.464
your blanket Jupiter is big
enough to put 1300 Earths

00:27:05.465 --> 00:27:09.559
inside and it spins around fashion in

00:27:09.560 --> 00:27:15.180
less than ten hours a day on
Jupiter is less than ten hours.

00:27:15.700 --> 00:27:19.639
Don\'t go to Venus.

00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:25.519
It rains and sulfuric acid and the
ground is hot enough to melt solder.

00:27:25.520 --> 00:27:31.134
The atmospheric pressure on Venus As much as
being two-thirds of a mile under the ocean.

00:27:31.135 --> 00:27:35.569
So down go to Venus Mars used to have

00:27:35.570 --> 00:27:40.279
enough atmosphere to hold water there
but it doesn\'t have it anymore Mars

00:27:40.280 --> 00:27:44.629
is a little smaller than we are and it
doesn\'t have as much magnetic fields

00:27:44.630 --> 00:27:49.834
and it doesn\'t have enough Van
Allen belts to keep the soda when

00:27:49.835 --> 00:27:51.739
from blowing the atmosphere

00:27:51.740 --> 00:27:59.740
away this is a dry lake on Mars and we\'re
quite sure that it used to be a washer Lake.

00:28:00.155 --> 00:28:03.589
Because we don\'t think there
are any other liquids in

00:28:03.590 --> 00:28:07.338
large enough amounts to leave any
shorelines UC is a lake dried

00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:15.339
out This is the Grand Canyon on Mars and
it would fit all aware process failure.

00:28:16.159 --> 00:28:23.388
All the way across the United States and the
Grand Canyon on the Colorado which fit in

00:28:23.389 --> 00:28:30.408
this little galley This is

00:28:30.409 --> 00:28:38.179
a big volcano on buyers and it\'s big
enough to cover the whole state of Oregon.

00:28:38.180 --> 00:28:42.228
The love of it on the
top you see is pagan in

00:28:42.229 --> 00:28:43.729
San Francisco Bay with

00:28:43.730 --> 00:28:48.138
all the surrounding towns thrown in
you say and this is nearly three

00:28:48.139 --> 00:28:49.189
times as collars are

00:28:49.190 --> 00:28:51.149
tallest mountain

00:28:58.020 --> 00:29:01.100
This is our son.

00:29:02.130 --> 00:29:10.130
Our sand is a teeny bopper and
as magneto hydrodynamics exits.

00:29:10.390 --> 00:29:15.968
If the Sun were the size of a basketball
gym for r2 and be the size of

00:29:15.969 --> 00:29:21.444
a grape and the Earth would be the
size of a very strong grape seed.

00:29:21.445 --> 00:29:23.858
There\'s room inside the sun.

00:29:23.859 --> 00:29:27.743
For the moon to orbit the
Earth inside the sun.

00:29:27.744 --> 00:29:31.718
With a quarter of a million
miles left to spare outsides

00:29:31.719 --> 00:29:39.719
the Moon\'s orbit The Sun

00:29:40.099 --> 00:29:44.794
is a 100 units buddy and Noma
the one Maunder Minimum.

00:29:44.795 --> 00:29:48.259
And the Maunder Minimum they didn\'t see
any satisfies for a long time 66 years

00:29:48.260 --> 00:29:51.588
or something and went into the
mini ice age and that\'s when

00:29:51.589 --> 00:29:53.898
the fireplace was invented
and find that they all

00:29:53.899 --> 00:29:57.573
slept in a central room
with fire and after that in

00:29:57.574 --> 00:30:02.659
their rooms and it\'s interesting
that we\'re connected to the Sun that

00:30:02.660 --> 00:30:07.744
way sunspots were of course were
caused by magnetic eruptions.

00:30:07.745 --> 00:30:11.808
We can describe it as magnetic eruptions
magnetic fields leaping out of

00:30:11.809 --> 00:30:16.309
the sun following back in in sunspots are
about 2 thousand degrees cooler than the rest

00:30:16.310 --> 00:30:19.098
of the cell The way I usually put it

00:30:19.099 --> 00:30:22.369
is the sun spins you say the
equator because around too

00:30:22.370 --> 00:30:25.098
fast the equatorial regions go around and

00:30:25.099 --> 00:30:29.764
about 25 days Apollo reason about 35 days
and that tangles or magnetic field or lab.

00:30:29.765 --> 00:30:32.088
After 11 years you get
so tangled lemon starts

00:30:32.089 --> 00:30:35.729
bubbling to the surface like sea
snakes and we have a rational spot

00:30:41.050 --> 00:30:44.998
because it\'s a loop gets a
magnetic loop that comes out you

00:30:44.999 --> 00:30:50.569
say and that\'s why some of the
pictures of prominence as

00:30:50.570 --> 00:30:54.768
you\'ve seen from these big
loops loopy things that\'s why

00:30:54.769 --> 00:30:59.359
they\'re loopy principally
about the sorts of courses

00:30:59.360 --> 00:31:03.799
Myriad tons of prayers second sprint
during that report the growing

00:31:03.800 --> 00:31:09.930
years it will contribute during that
formula for their bill really weird.

00:31:18.040 --> 00:31:21.708
Let\'s do the history of the
Sinaloa bet it fell together

00:31:21.709 --> 00:31:24.888
by gravity till they got hot
enough inside for hydrogen to

00:31:24.889 --> 00:31:28.279
fuse two helium if it chooses
to fast in the middle what

00:31:28.280 --> 00:31:31.339
will happen it will bloat and cool

00:31:31.340 --> 00:31:36.904
off and then a physicist too
slowly and I\'m collapsing speedup.

00:31:36.905 --> 00:31:38.418
Now isn\'t that lovely.

00:31:38.419 --> 00:31:42.738
That\'s the only reason we\'re talking
English Is that clear to you

00:31:42.739 --> 00:31:47.179
all if descent didn\'t
never governor on it so

00:31:47.180 --> 00:31:50.268
it\'s dated this M temperature
English would never have arisen on

00:31:50.269 --> 00:31:53.584
this stupid blended but after the helium

00:31:53.585 --> 00:31:55.639
accumulates in the middle and has no

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:58.218
longer hydrogen mixed with
it to keep it bloated like

00:31:58.219 --> 00:32:03.063
that then the helium will collapse and when
the helium collapses it will get so hot.

00:32:03.064 --> 00:32:07.593
That it will explode to carbon and
oxygen that\'s as far as us our logo.

00:32:07.594 --> 00:32:10.398
So first us and swells
up to about the size of

00:32:10.399 --> 00:32:14.328
the Earth\'s orbit but it\'ll be puffing
stuff away on the outside so it

00:32:14.329 --> 00:32:17.659
won\'t hang onto a so tightly
So at that time the Earth\'s

00:32:17.660 --> 00:32:21.108
were just too way too about
where Mars is now the earth at

00:32:21.109 --> 00:32:26.174
that time will be melted the err lovey
along on the oceans will belong

00:32:26.175 --> 00:32:29.028
on and the rocks will be molten cheer up

00:32:29.029 --> 00:32:33.420
things are sure to get worse
Murphy was just guessing.

00:32:49.630 --> 00:32:52.819
There only three ingredients
in this universe there\'s

00:32:52.820 --> 00:32:56.130
hydrogen helium and
industrial exploded star

00:33:34.630 --> 00:33:42.630
Oh And this is the kind of stuff out
of which the Earth is made and this

00:33:44.540 --> 00:33:48.619
is the kind of stuff onto which our
bodies are made and if you give

00:33:48.620 --> 00:33:54.539
this cloud in another 10 billion years
and will go to school and chew gum.

00:33:56.860 --> 00:34:00.469
So the Earth is made and the
industrial exploded stars

00:34:00.470 --> 00:34:03.228
are about information and industrial
exploded star it\'s not the water

00:34:03.229 --> 00:34:05.749
and you\'re not the hydrogen
in your water that\'s

00:34:05.750 --> 00:34:13.750
original cabinet there\'s
sun spots sunspots.

00:34:14.089 --> 00:34:18.454
The big green things are sum those
dark spots are bigger than the earth.

00:34:18.455 --> 00:34:21.888
The sands vacant output
1,000,300 thousand Earths

00:34:21.889 --> 00:34:27.763
inside What does this mirror
reflect below the light on

00:34:27.764 --> 00:34:30.949
this yes ninety-five
percent down there saying

00:34:30.950 --> 00:34:36.288
95% down there then we lose 96% of the
remainder down there then we lose

00:34:36.289 --> 00:34:39.978
99% of that remainder and the green
welder\'s glass will let you use

00:34:39.979 --> 00:34:42.060
about ten when millions

00:34:48.670 --> 00:34:51.719
and that\'s intense.

00:34:53.080 --> 00:34:58.518
Come on now you see when you see
one very dark spot right at

00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:00.798
the end of that patch that\'s as

00:35:00.799 --> 00:35:03.754
big as the Earth\'s in kids haven\'t
had delusions of grandeur.

00:35:03.755 --> 00:35:11.755
Wow Can you see the sunspots
come see the sunspots.

00:35:16.240 --> 00:35:24.079
Nobody needs to know anything that they
don\'t already know also they expect us

00:35:24.080 --> 00:35:26.088
to charge them money

00:35:26.089 --> 00:35:31.819
and if we\'re not going to charge them money
Linda is much worse than whether they want.

00:35:31.820 --> 00:35:34.848
But most in public is not
interested in the nature of

00:35:34.849 --> 00:35:39.288
the real world that\'s not part of their
problem the problem is how to get

00:35:39.289 --> 00:35:44.148
fed heavy and their laundry done and
stuff like that and you get their car

00:35:44.149 --> 00:35:46.818
paid for their rent paid for And they\'re

00:35:46.819 --> 00:35:50.590
really not concerned about how
they weren\'t universe runs a char.

00:35:54.430 --> 00:36:01.518
One time I had a telescope here
this one fact and as this lady if

00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:04.459
she\'d like to see the spots on the
sun so she came and looks and then

00:36:04.460 --> 00:36:07.788
she says Descendant spots
don\'t return negative.

00:36:07.789 --> 00:36:10.099
Don\'t be so negative and she walked down

00:36:10.100 --> 00:36:12.843
through here and told the river and
not to come and look at this one.

00:36:12.844 --> 00:36:20.844
Lady came up told me that she\'d give me
another tunnel agent that she say she

00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:27.798
thinks her son is perfect and it has
to be around and not have an expanse

00:36:27.799 --> 00:36:34.984
The fact that she sees him is besides
the point comes here this sunspots.

00:36:34.985 --> 00:36:37.984
Were that descend in captivity.

00:36:37.985 --> 00:36:41.178
When you\'ll find out that there\'s
information connected with

00:36:41.179 --> 00:36:44.058
this then then oh my God
look there\'s others

00:36:44.059 --> 00:36:47.299
other information but if you
don\'t look guitar you don\'t

00:36:47.300 --> 00:36:50.238
notice once you\'ve come to

00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:53.629
the conclusion that in fact you know
already is are you need to know.

00:36:53.630 --> 00:36:56.029
Then you you have a degree in

00:36:56.030 --> 00:37:03.029
disinterest come see this nSpots
Cullen comes through the sunspots.

00:37:03.470 --> 00:37:07.669
Now just looks at their Don\'t put
your hand on it just lets you

00:37:07.670 --> 00:37:13.699
there These are the spots
related to the flares.

00:37:13.700 --> 00:37:16.188
These are this one\'s related
to the flares comes through

00:37:16.189 --> 00:37:24.189
this sunspots zone and
flack and run-ons lack.

00:37:26.680 --> 00:37:31.309
Chances are I have an Irish
accent I\'m half Irish

00:37:31.310 --> 00:37:35.899
and half Irish and half English
and at war with myself even

00:37:35.900 --> 00:37:38.568
though some of those people were Look
you\'re not interested in what they

00:37:38.569 --> 00:37:41.809
see they don\'t have
nothing inside a response

00:37:41.810 --> 00:37:44.793
to what they see so they
just look in golf and

00:37:44.794 --> 00:37:48.048
most people just look in golf but
some people are really interested

00:37:48.049 --> 00:37:51.049
in what they see they have some
background information into which this

00:37:51.050 --> 00:37:55.278
fits No idea what\'s going
on in this universe.

00:37:55.279 --> 00:38:01.819
They have no idea at all and you
see when little kids looks at

00:38:01.820 --> 00:38:05.179
this and I tell them those parts are
bigger than the world they don\'t

00:38:05.180 --> 00:38:08.779
know anything about how big the Earth is
ten times bigger than Golden Gate Park.

00:38:08.780 --> 00:38:10.984
They know I\'ve been gone get bracket

00:38:10.985 --> 00:38:15.300
and no idea how big the world is it\'s
a meaningless statement to them.

00:38:18.430 --> 00:38:22.020
Did you want to see the sunspots.

00:38:25.660 --> 00:38:29.809
Those people do not reject
us for what we are here

00:38:29.810 --> 00:38:33.319
rejections from what they
suspect that we are and

00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:41.320
that\'s an entirely different things
We\'re pan handlers on the sidewalk.

00:38:46.260 --> 00:38:50.649
Why should anybody start
to show them the Sun.

00:38:50.650 --> 00:38:55.310
Turns his hair ridiculous
cities who would do then

00:38:59.910 --> 00:39:03.009
you see our telescopes are now rejected for

00:39:03.010 --> 00:39:05.138
what they are they\'re
rejection for what people

00:39:05.139 --> 00:39:13.139
suspected they are and they have no way
to know that I\'m not a dirty old man

00:39:14.539 --> 00:39:22.539
but I tell you the story of the dirty old
man Channel nine the public television

00:39:22.730 --> 00:39:26.539
channel here as we do a
telescope 15 minute telescope

00:39:26.540 --> 00:39:31.368
making thing for n-channel nine which
is going to be shown to the schools.

00:39:31.369 --> 00:39:35.479
Well I didn\'t want to be showing somebody
holler in new automated telescope how to

00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:39.543
make a telescope and I didn\'t want to
show a man out of a good telescope.

00:39:39.544 --> 00:39:43.789
So I asked this girl who lived
down the street 14-year-old girl.

00:39:43.790 --> 00:39:48.498
As she let me show you how to make
a telescope on public television.

00:39:48.499 --> 00:39:54.634
So she agreed to do it and
at the end should godly.

00:39:54.635 --> 00:39:57.768
I always saw you there on the
corner with their telescopes I\'d

00:39:57.769 --> 00:40:00.979
said you were a dirty old man Now you\'re

00:40:00.980 --> 00:40:03.960
my favorite dirty old man

00:40:06.970 --> 00:40:11.749
the astronomers named things before they
knew what the hell was going on you

00:40:11.750 --> 00:40:16.413
know and almost anything that didn\'t
look like a Star Wars got a nebula.

00:40:16.414 --> 00:40:18.738
When I was a kid was
called the great spiral

00:40:18.739 --> 00:40:21.903
nebulae in Andromeda which
we call now a galaxy.

00:40:21.904 --> 00:40:24.844
Nobody called them
galaxies when I was a kid.

00:40:24.845 --> 00:40:28.668
There\'s a great spiral nebulae
in Andromeda and nobody thought

00:40:28.669 --> 00:40:32.389
it was out there ought to be in

00:40:32.390 --> 00:40:37.399
here the word galaxy is a Greek word for

00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:43.129
Milky Way that\'s all Galaxy as in lactic
acid Galaxy is a Greek word for milky way.

00:40:43.130 --> 00:40:46.219
So we live in the Milky Way
Milky Way and the number of

00:40:46.220 --> 00:40:50.269
stars in our galaxy is equal to
the number of grains of wheat.

00:40:50.270 --> 00:40:54.994
Three VD over an eight acre farm.

00:40:54.995 --> 00:40:58.984
Had trucks have wheat dumped
into an eight acre farm

00:40:58.985 --> 00:41:02.898
to the tweet is this deep
and you made each grain of

00:41:02.899 --> 00:41:10.899
wheat into a star like our galaxy the
Andromeda galaxy is about twice that big

00:41:33.490 --> 00:41:37.124
Now all this dark stuff
that you see is the Dustin

00:41:37.125 --> 00:41:40.249
exploded stars it\'s still mostly hydrogen

00:41:40.250 --> 00:41:43.218
and helium but there\'s a little bit
of dust in it so you can\'t see

00:41:43.219 --> 00:41:46.459
through it now if this were our galaxy.

00:41:46.460 --> 00:41:51.319
Our Sun would be way out here in the
boondocks we\'re a long ways from

00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:56.538
downtown and in our galaxy.

00:41:56.539 --> 00:42:00.229
It takes a 100 thousand years
for light to go all the way

00:42:00.230 --> 00:42:08.230
across My favorite galaxy
by say impose our own.

00:42:09.370 --> 00:42:13.519
But if you mean outside
I\'m very fond of NGC

00:42:13.520 --> 00:42:18.829
3565 the central modes about this shape
and the disc is as flat as in plate and

00:42:18.830 --> 00:42:25.309
we edge-on you see it in very dark skies
with a good size Joe\'s got like a

00:42:25.310 --> 00:42:28.578
24-inch or you see it\'s quite a
large thing in the IPs field

00:42:28.579 --> 00:42:32.879
you see the dust lanes are so conspicuous.

00:42:37.180 --> 00:42:41.988
You know the Hubble telescope
took a picture of a section of

00:42:41.989 --> 00:42:45.993
this guy where they couldn\'t
see anything And his Arles.

00:42:45.994 --> 00:42:50.148
Thousands of galaxies in
there it\'s a piece of sky is

00:42:50.149 --> 00:42:55.260
as big as as a grain of
sand held at arm\'s length

00:42:58.420 --> 00:43:01.669
here who isn\'t a lot bigger
than the Earth and its and i

00:43:01.670 --> 00:43:04.429
bigger than this other system and
it\'s a lot bigger than our galaxy

00:43:04.430 --> 00:43:12.430
and we owe it to ourselves to notice it
technically astronomers are about stars

00:43:14.134 --> 00:43:16.759
and cosmologists are about the cosmos

00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:19.639
and now I\'m primarily about the
cosmos our number the whole ball of

00:43:19.640 --> 00:43:26.029
x. what is the age of the
universe and how do we know

00:43:26.030 --> 00:43:33.570
it Who told you there\'s
an age wash your mouth.

00:43:34.660 --> 00:43:38.313
Now you see right now there\'s this.

00:43:38.314 --> 00:43:42.198
Modern view running around
that the universe had

00:43:42.199 --> 00:43:46.939
a beginning learner I\'ll tell you how it
happened you see what the astronomers

00:43:46.940 --> 00:43:50.598
noticed was that all those distances
are redshifted okay they\'re going

00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:54.318
away that is to say the interpretation of

00:43:54.319 --> 00:43:57.798
the redshift was that
they\'re going away and

00:43:57.799 --> 00:44:03.408
the simplest and most straightforward
explanation for that is that long ago there was

00:44:03.409 --> 00:44:08.388
this big explosion and it\'s called the
Big Bang probably some of you have heard

00:44:08.389 --> 00:44:10.398
of it Any of you not understand

00:44:10.399 --> 00:44:13.774
redshift if you don\'t understand
redshift please put up your hand.

00:44:13.775 --> 00:44:15.108
Thank you one hand we\'ll

00:44:15.109 --> 00:44:23.109
do redshift is something that happens
in radiation but if you don\'t know

00:44:23.899 --> 00:44:27.288
about that you do know about fire engines

00:44:27.289 --> 00:44:31.698
and the fire engine is coming toward you
the bell has a high pitch him and it goes

00:44:31.699 --> 00:44:36.408
away it has a lower now

00:44:36.409 --> 00:44:41.228
the reason that it\'s slurs like that
is because the fire engine Miss

00:44:41.229 --> 00:44:48.888
do anyway radiation does

00:44:48.889 --> 00:44:52.249
something like that If
something is coming toward you

00:44:52.250 --> 00:44:54.468
the radiation the light has a lot of

00:44:54.469 --> 00:44:57.318
energy that corresponds to
the high pitch of the bell.

00:44:57.319 --> 00:45:02.359
But if it\'s going away has a very low energy
that\'s redshifted and the universe does

00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:08.143
not have a rule that if you see something
going away it had just started her you are.

00:45:08.144 --> 00:45:12.559
Thank you universe atmospheric search rule.

00:45:12.560 --> 00:45:17.478
Anyway. So I don\'t think it happened like
that I think the universe has been going

00:45:17.479 --> 00:45:22.294
on like this all alone there are too many
problems that the Big Bang has to face.

00:45:22.295 --> 00:45:26.359
Too many problems getting getting
everything out of nothing.

00:45:26.360 --> 00:45:33.423
The worker to work that\'s why tell
their story about that King I told you

00:45:33.424 --> 00:45:36.349
the story there was this king who came from

00:45:36.350 --> 00:45:41.388
a very distant place to his capital city
and he didn\'t get into any one gun salute.

00:45:41.389 --> 00:45:44.178
So he called the mayor how come I came from

00:45:44.179 --> 00:45:48.769
a very distant place can my capital
city and I didn\'t get a 21 gun salute.

00:45:48.770 --> 00:45:51.604
Your majesty there are three reasons.

00:45:51.605 --> 00:45:54.094
First there are no guns.

00:45:54.095 --> 00:45:58.159
It is said to him remind
the other isn\'t so I

00:45:58.160 --> 00:46:02.118
have several objectives at the Big
Bang you can\'t get it out of nothing.

00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:04.919
Never mind my other experts.

00:46:04.990 --> 00:46:08.838
So the first problem is that even if

00:46:08.839 --> 00:46:11.778
we could get nothing to make
everything out of nothing we would

00:46:11.779 --> 00:46:15.089
still have this terrible problem
that it would be in a black hole

00:46:15.090 --> 00:46:20.183
Secondly we have to do is to
overlook the physics of black holes.

00:46:20.184 --> 00:46:23.273
So we invent two particles.

00:46:23.274 --> 00:46:26.829
You\'re allowed to invent
particles if you don\'t have

00:46:26.830 --> 00:46:31.854
any observational evidence
against them okay.

00:46:31.855 --> 00:46:35.109
So we invent two particles one that makes a

00:46:35.110 --> 00:46:39.068
matter out of anti-matter and
one that makes anti-matter out

00:46:39.069 --> 00:46:41.438
of matter you\'re you you can do it if you

00:46:41.439 --> 00:46:43.838
do both of them you can\'t do
just one at a time but you can

00:46:43.839 --> 00:46:47.168
invent two of them and the one
that makes matter decays more

00:46:47.169 --> 00:46:52.959
slowly and leaves the universe as
a residue that Charles the hell

00:46:52.960 --> 00:47:00.709
out of the Hubble Telescope was asked him
though And see whether there are any clouds of

00:47:00.710 --> 00:47:05.719
hydrogen patrons 3C273 and
ourselves and it says there

00:47:05.720 --> 00:47:08.388
is there have been trained 912 clouds

00:47:08.389 --> 00:47:11.464
of hydrogen can transduce into
his head and defend ourselves.

00:47:11.465 --> 00:47:14.478
Now the Big Bang model it says there

00:47:14.479 --> 00:47:17.749
should not be any clouds of hydrogen
in there because there\'s no way to put

00:47:17.750 --> 00:47:21.168
it any clouds of hydrogen in
there and there\'s no way to

00:47:21.169 --> 00:47:24.753
have clouds of hydrogens
hanging around him there

00:47:24.754 --> 00:47:29.778
for 15 billion years not
condensing into suddenly we can

00:47:29.779 --> 00:47:32.838
see now regionally they discovered that

00:47:32.839 --> 00:47:37.084
the expansion rate is apparently
speeding up instead of slowing down.

00:47:37.085 --> 00:47:43.563
According to the Big Bang model It has
to slow down and if it\'s speeding up

00:47:43.564 --> 00:47:46.848
there in the big treble
amount that we use to change

00:47:46.849 --> 00:47:50.703
the model to match the physics that
is not what they\'re doing now.

00:47:50.704 --> 00:47:53.088
Changing the physics to match the model.

00:47:53.089 --> 00:47:56.509
So they invented this new
thing called dark energy in

00:47:56.510 --> 00:47:59.988
order to speed it up and then
we found out another thing in

00:47:59.989 --> 00:48:03.858
fairly recent times about half
of the neutron stars that we

00:48:03.859 --> 00:48:09.209
know about have escape velocity
from the Gothic see homo.

00:48:09.280 --> 00:48:14.149
Now escape velocity from the
galaxy is 300 miles a second.

00:48:14.150 --> 00:48:19.593
Now that\'s one thing Star Trek failed
to show as a neutron star going.

00:48:19.594 --> 00:48:24.604
Everybody would be jerked away like
that It would have been such fun.

00:48:24.605 --> 00:48:32.605
The density of a neutron star is 100
thousand you as aero plane carriers.

00:48:34.490 --> 00:48:38.988
All covered with aero planes and sailors on

00:48:38.989 --> 00:48:46.500
parade squeezed into a
one pint mayonnaise jar.

00:48:49.180 --> 00:48:54.753
And there are about ten or
20 miles in diameter and

00:48:54.754 --> 00:48:57.138
about half of them have
escape velocity from

00:48:57.139 --> 00:49:00.304
the galaxy and they\'re going
out into the hovering Lehrer.

00:49:00.305 --> 00:49:06.819
And you\'re not about to see them there
too bloody small Anyway so I think

00:49:06.820 --> 00:49:10.748
the ordinary Dark Matter is ordinary
matter I don\'t think we have to do

00:49:10.749 --> 00:49:16.044
all those fancy things about it it is
through the process of verbal battles.

00:49:16.045 --> 00:49:20.979
Back and forth different ideas that we get
some yes but they don\'t do that anymore.

00:49:20.980 --> 00:49:23.798
The difficulties in the Big
Bang or no longer discussed in

00:49:23.799 --> 00:49:26.318
school I have friends who have
been to the university in

00:49:26.319 --> 00:49:29.408
recent times and that\'s the opinion

00:49:29.409 --> 00:49:33.564
now the difficulty is that the Big
Bang are no longer discussing.

00:49:33.565 --> 00:49:37.734
It\'s taken now as gospel truth the same
as the people doing the bible belt.

00:49:37.735 --> 00:49:41.408
It\'s one problem after
another with all sorts of

00:49:41.409 --> 00:49:45.939
magical solutions you tried
to persuade some little kid.

00:49:45.940 --> 00:49:51.128
Then something came out of nothing There\'s
no way you can never persuaded kid.

00:49:51.129 --> 00:49:54.248
He asked who graduated from high
school before he can possibly be

00:49:54.249 --> 00:49:57.729
stupid enough to think like that and you

00:49:57.730 --> 00:50:01.104
look into it you\'ll find that all the Big
Bang people went through high school

00:50:01.105 --> 00:50:06.008
you look if I\'ve done enough about
making fun of the big bang I

00:50:06.009 --> 00:50:10.688
have to replace it because it\'s not
fair to make fun of somebody is

00:50:10.689 --> 00:50:16.464
model without replacing it with something
which you think is a more reasonable model.

00:50:16.465 --> 00:50:20.829
So I\'ll have to replace it with what
I think is a more reasonable model.

00:50:20.830 --> 00:50:24.938
So first after tell you another
story it\'s about the same size.

00:50:24.939 --> 00:50:29.423
We\'ll say that a Martian lived in Berkeley.

00:50:29.424 --> 00:50:33.919
First Twenty minutes on
a Thursday afternoon

00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:39.559
and he saw the barberpole going up the
wall and he would right away and conclude

00:50:39.560 --> 00:50:41.824
that it started at the
sidewalk in the morning

00:50:41.825 --> 00:50:44.419
and it\'ll reach the roof by
night he\'s only there for

00:50:44.420 --> 00:50:50.524
20 minutes but you see we know
that this stripes recycle.

00:50:50.525 --> 00:50:54.873
So in my model we have this
deaf recycling from the border.

00:50:54.874 --> 00:50:58.458
Now you might not think that the
universe has a border but it does you\'ll

00:50:58.459 --> 00:51:02.028
see when we look way out
there all the galaxies and

00:51:02.029 --> 00:51:05.539
things appear to be running away
from us and the farther away we

00:51:05.540 --> 00:51:09.979
look the faster way they\'re running and if

00:51:09.980 --> 00:51:12.228
you go out too far they\'re
running away at the speed of

00:51:12.229 --> 00:51:15.978
light Now nothing going away
at the speed of light can

00:51:15.979 --> 00:51:19.954
be seen by you how the radiation goes to 0

00:51:19.955 --> 00:51:24.529
nothing comes in from beyond
15 billion light years away

00:51:24.530 --> 00:51:26.989
the observable universe
is the only one we know

00:51:26.990 --> 00:51:32.239
about postulate the existence of
stuff you can postulate all your

00:51:32.240 --> 00:51:40.240
like sit down I am simply sticking to the

00:51:41.479 --> 00:51:45.933
observations Observe it though

00:51:45.934 --> 00:51:48.318
beyond the observe No I
didn\'t say anything about

00:51:48.319 --> 00:51:50.899
beyond the observable
university I just said if

00:51:50.900 --> 00:51:53.389
there\'s anything out there is not
part of your universe That\'s what I

00:51:53.390 --> 00:51:56.598
said but it gets recycled
back into No no not from

00:51:56.599 --> 00:51:59.628
beyond the border O Lord you
know don\'t put words in my mouth

00:51:59.629 --> 00:52:06.469
having nothing there already I

00:52:06.470 --> 00:52:08.699
am to tell you something

00:52:11.660 --> 00:52:17.928
I just said it\'ll take it outside
and I have to tell you something.

00:52:17.929 --> 00:52:22.714
My friend said long time ago on the last
day when they put this body in the box

00:52:22.715 --> 00:52:28.068
the mouse will still work Anyway we\'re

00:52:28.069 --> 00:52:30.678
talking about within the
observable universe to stuff

00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:33.604
has to recycle back in
because as seen by us

00:52:33.605 --> 00:52:36.198
the redshift goes to 0 energy out

00:52:36.199 --> 00:52:39.723
there so the particles from the
border can\'t study at the border.

00:52:39.724 --> 00:52:43.038
It\'s automatic. If they\'re
going away at that speed.

00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:45.993
We added the border where the
energy goes very very low

00:52:45.994 --> 00:52:48.949
they can stay there they
have to come back in now

00:52:48.950 --> 00:52:51.318
if this stuff has to recycle
from the border and

00:52:51.319 --> 00:52:54.019
that\'s just required by their
physics you don\'t have to change

00:52:54.020 --> 00:52:56.148
anything in the physics
to make it do that it

00:52:56.149 --> 00:52:59.568
automatically does that and if there\'s
Jeffrey seconds from the border.

00:52:59.569 --> 00:53:04.319
We don\'t have to have a beginning Don\'t you
see could be going on like this all the time

00:53:23.740 --> 00:53:29.268
The stuff\'s recycling from
the border and that\'s how

00:53:29.269 --> 00:53:34.249
the universe keeps us negative entropy
up and everything that you see here

00:53:34.250 --> 00:53:38.208
that it\'s running on
increasing the entropy is

00:53:38.209 --> 00:53:43.488
running Negative entropy from the recycling
of the universe you see and that\'s

00:53:43.489 --> 00:53:48.123
what\'s meaning when somebody said
and I\'m quoting somebody here that

00:53:48.124 --> 00:53:52.848
it\'s alive the whole
Universe is alive but I had

00:53:52.849 --> 00:53:58.188
heard it before and it never took it
seriously but I thought my God you\'re seeing

00:53:58.189 --> 00:54:02.238
the defining characteristic of a
living organism directs a stream of

00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:07.249
negative entropy by itself and
damaged all the same thing.

00:54:07.250 --> 00:54:13.518
See if people think that this is all
entered in insentient and rare smart where

00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:16.143
sentient but let\'s bullshit you see

00:54:16.144 --> 00:54:19.549
the only reason we\'re essentially
history because matter is centered.

00:54:19.550 --> 00:54:23.643
If the proton Well the
proton asked to discriminate

00:54:23.644 --> 00:54:30.963
protons electrons neutrons spin up spin
down gravity electricity and inertia so.

00:54:30.964 --> 00:54:34.339
Unless is there if they didn\'t

00:54:34.340 --> 00:54:38.688
discriminate that they\'re none of
this would work don\'t you see if

00:54:38.689 --> 00:54:42.348
these thing if the tablets didn\'t know where
the Earth was it wouldn\'t be sitting here on

00:54:42.349 --> 00:54:47.118
the floor I wouldn\'t be
sitting here on the floor.

00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:50.249
So you see matter is sentient

00:55:23.050 --> 00:55:25.499
Yes

00:55:55.780 --> 00:55:57.919
We simply do

00:55:57.920 --> 00:56:00.379
not see what\'s going on near adults.

00:56:00.380 --> 00:56:04.459
There isn\'t anything called
matter it\'s just energy and what

00:56:04.460 --> 00:56:08.389
we don\'t see is that it\'s
like that what we see

00:56:08.390 --> 00:56:11.869
is matter is energy we\'re not doing

00:56:11.870 --> 00:56:16.683
anything but there there\'s
there\'s only one thing here.

00:56:16.684 --> 00:56:23.879
Energy is the underlying existence
showing in space and time separately

00:56:28.470 --> 00:56:32.199
It is often said that the speed of light

00:56:32.200 --> 00:56:35.708
is the ultimate speed limit of
the universe you cannot get

00:56:35.709 --> 00:56:38.649
a material particles we\'re
going faster than the speed of

00:56:38.650 --> 00:56:43.043
light and the question
is why is that alright.

00:56:43.044 --> 00:56:47.018
It\'s because there\'s another speed
at dol this bead and what\'s

00:56:47.019 --> 00:56:51.129
called the speed of light is the
ratio of space to time one light

00:56:51.130 --> 00:56:54.458
year is equal to one year we didn\'t

00:56:54.459 --> 00:56:58.568
notice that it was like that and we
thought because you have a distance

00:56:58.569 --> 00:57:01.389
and you haven\'t time
that it was like a speed

00:57:01.390 --> 00:57:05.019
but speeds add and subtract
to each other suppose there\'s

00:57:05.020 --> 00:57:07.449
a train going 20 miles an
hour and I walking this way

00:57:07.450 --> 00:57:10.503
five miles an hour as seen by the
ongoing 15 rather than our that way

00:57:10.504 --> 00:57:13.639
There\'s a 25 mile an hour that way speeds

00:57:13.640 --> 00:57:16.578
add and subtract to each other the
speed of light doesn\'t add and

00:57:16.579 --> 00:57:20.449
subtract to anything now let me
give you an example suppose we have

00:57:20.450 --> 00:57:25.188
a spaceship that blastoff the earth at 99%
of the speed of light that\'s not forbidden.

00:57:25.189 --> 00:57:27.318
Now it can shoot a rocket
out in front of it

00:57:27.319 --> 00:57:30.318
99% of the speed of light
that\'s not forbidden.

00:57:30.319 --> 00:57:32.839
That can shoot a bullet
out in front of in at

00:57:32.840 --> 00:57:35.703
99% of the speed of light
in that\'s not forbidden.

00:57:35.704 --> 00:57:38.890
Now let that bullet have a head lice.

00:57:38.920 --> 00:57:41.329
The headline goes with respect to

00:57:41.330 --> 00:57:43.338
the bullet or the speed of light
with respect to the rocket

00:57:43.339 --> 00:57:45.078
or the speed of light with
respect to the spaceship at

00:57:45.079 --> 00:57:46.998
the speed of light with respect
to s and speed of light.

00:57:46.999 --> 00:57:50.494
Don\'t you see the speed of light
is not the speed of anything

00:57:50.495 --> 00:57:54.048
it\'s a ratio of space to
time People tell me if

00:57:54.049 --> 00:57:57.289
you went up the speed of
light time would stop now

00:57:57.290 --> 00:58:01.219
time is the only thing they can\'t start
and can\'t stop and can\'t speed up and

00:58:01.220 --> 00:58:05.008
slow down all motion is
with respect to time and

00:58:05.009 --> 00:58:09.018
it doesn\'t have any motion
with respect to what is time

00:58:09.019 --> 00:58:12.618
gonna move then you have to have time
for that to move the Tiber that Duke

00:58:12.619 --> 00:58:18.809
that people don\'t think straight
they don\'t think straight.

00:58:19.900 --> 00:58:23.118
When you say that something
is moving is moving

00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:25.618
with respect to time There\'s no
you\'re saying the time isn\'t

00:58:25.619 --> 00:58:31.909
moving the universe like a
television show we all came

00:58:31.910 --> 00:58:33.228
into the middle and nobody\'s staying for

00:58:33.229 --> 00:58:38.899
the end So it\'s a little bit
like a theatrical performance.

00:58:38.900 --> 00:58:41.659
So if you go to a theatrical
performance there are

00:58:41.660 --> 00:58:44.359
several things you want to
know who are the actors.

00:58:44.360 --> 00:58:46.624
Its hydrogen and helium.

00:58:46.625 --> 00:58:50.340
One is the name of the play falling.

00:58:51.280 --> 00:58:59.280
Whereas the theatre in space and what is
it when should you go in time there is

00:59:01.879 --> 00:59:06.558
a real famous definition of
time you know It comes from

00:59:06.559 --> 00:59:13.054
the men\'s room and the peak
can treat pecan Street Cafe.

00:59:13.055 --> 00:59:17.584
In Austin Texas and what
it says is that time

00:59:17.585 --> 00:59:22.698
is nature\'s way of keeping
everything from happening Everyone\'s

00:59:22.699 --> 00:59:26.959
now isn\'t that lovely
that\'s now in the ladies

00:59:26.960 --> 00:59:31.368
room it should say space
is nature\'s way of keeping

00:59:31.369 --> 00:59:35.268
everything from happening
in the same place now I

00:59:35.269 --> 00:59:40.099
asked him little kids when time what
was the opposite of a squirrel.

00:59:40.100 --> 00:59:42.979
And this little kid he was
second grade he says a

00:59:42.980 --> 00:59:50.373
crocodile Now you see they\'re
both living organism.

00:59:50.374 --> 00:59:53.913
Don\'t you see he didn\'t say a stone.

00:59:53.914 --> 00:59:59.299
Instead a living organism now usually if I
ask the opposite of a dog I get cat because

00:59:59.300 --> 01:00:05.599
their household pets you do see that usually
when we say that two things are opposite.

01:00:05.600 --> 01:00:08.179
We have already seen that
they\'re identical in

01:00:08.180 --> 01:00:12.839
some way and then in that
way they\'re opposites.

01:00:13.690 --> 01:00:18.358
So it looks to me as I was based
in time are identical in some way

01:00:18.359 --> 01:00:22.098
they\'re both dimensions
but they\'re opposite in

01:00:22.099 --> 01:00:26.419
some way because one\'s plus in front We see

01:00:26.420 --> 01:00:31.728
the Andromeda galaxy route 3 million
light years away by seeing in

01:00:31.729 --> 01:00:34.908
3 million years ago and if you put this

01:00:34.909 --> 01:00:40.879
33 million in here and square it and 3
million inherence square it has she

01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:46.909
remainder is 0 now

01:00:46.910 --> 01:00:51.108
that puts a very different
look on this universe.

01:00:51.109 --> 01:00:55.609
Because every event which
we have ever seen with

01:00:55.610 --> 01:01:00.499
our eyes which made us think
that the universe was out there

01:01:00.500 --> 01:01:04.249
every single event that we
have seen out there had

01:01:04.250 --> 01:01:09.379
zeros separation from are seeing
it I\'m not responsible for

01:01:09.380 --> 01:01:13.998
this Einstein is not responsible for a
T there if you under blame anybody got

01:01:13.999 --> 01:01:18.768
a column the exterior decorator
suppose a light beam

01:01:18.769 --> 01:01:21.318
can get from this event
to this event you think

01:01:21.319 --> 01:01:24.318
something be bumped over there
but they\'re adjacent in

01:01:24.319 --> 01:01:28.578
space-time and nothing be bobbed over and

01:01:28.579 --> 01:01:34.144
again as adjacent in space
and time no I said if

01:01:34.145 --> 01:01:36.799
the distance between two events is equal to

01:01:36.800 --> 01:01:40.218
the time between the two events
then they are adjacent in

01:01:40.219 --> 01:01:43.068
space-time they are not adjacent
in space and they are not

01:01:43.069 --> 01:01:46.638
adjacent in time but in the
real world they\'re adjacent.

01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:51.949
And that\'s what we don\'t see if there\'s
an explosion I see the explosion.

01:01:51.950 --> 01:01:56.058
Here then you see there\'s a time between

01:01:56.059 --> 01:02:00.079
the explosion at the time I see it
here and there\'s a distance between

01:02:00.080 --> 01:02:04.759
the explosion at the place where I see
it here and the time and this face are

01:02:04.760 --> 01:02:10.233
equal and the total separation between
the event and my seeing of that event.

01:02:10.234 --> 01:02:15.423
R is R is always 0 now the
interesting thing about this is this

01:02:15.424 --> 01:02:21.498
that the notion that the universe is out there
in the god damn pendant of us observers.

01:02:21.499 --> 01:02:25.009
Is based on the fact that we see things out

01:02:25.010 --> 01:02:29.658
there and it turns out that the
evidence that we have for its

01:02:29.659 --> 01:02:33.859
being out there is all wrong
The evidence is that it\'s

01:02:33.860 --> 01:02:38.148
not out there the separation
between you and what you

01:02:38.149 --> 01:02:42.498
have seen in your entire life and the
waking state is exactly the same

01:02:42.499 --> 01:02:46.908
as it was in the dream and you
wake up for a dream then you

01:02:46.909 --> 01:02:50.299
understand that all of those things that
had happened or not away from you in

01:02:50.300 --> 01:02:55.864
space it was in you I\'m sorry that

01:02:55.865 --> 01:02:58.398
that\'s so different such a
difficult thing to get through

01:02:58.399 --> 01:03:01.099
people\'s heads but it\'s difficult because

01:03:01.100 --> 01:03:04.319
our genetic programming
does not see time as

01:03:04.320 --> 01:03:08.224
empty space you know what I
tell the people in my classes.

01:03:08.225 --> 01:03:11.209
Everything we know about this
universe has been figured

01:03:11.210 --> 01:03:14.029
out by people as stupid as
we are if they can do it we

01:03:14.030 --> 01:03:16.489
can do it Not only that but if

01:03:16.490 --> 01:03:19.158
you figured out for yourself it
doesn\'t matter who figured it out

01:03:19.159 --> 01:03:21.468
before if you figured out
for yourself as your

01:03:21.469 --> 01:03:28.729
own and it has a boundary the observable
universe obviously Hazard Boundary 15

01:03:28.730 --> 01:03:32.568
billion light years away
but now you see that\'s

01:03:32.569 --> 01:03:34.968
the interesting thing if there is something

01:03:34.969 --> 01:03:37.698
beyond that what the hell
is it now there were

01:03:37.699 --> 01:03:41.749
some other physicists who
used the word energy for

01:03:41.750 --> 01:03:44.583
thousand years earlier and they even had

01:03:44.584 --> 01:03:49.578
E equals m c squared b built
into this end script language.

01:03:49.579 --> 01:03:55.518
Anyway their word for the universe was
juggernaut they\'re changing Now these

01:03:55.519 --> 01:03:57.828
are physis is if the universe is the

01:03:57.829 --> 01:04:01.818
changing damn it all there has to be
something against which it\'s changing.

01:04:01.819 --> 01:04:05.149
If you\'re going 60 miles an hour
it\'s with respect to the road.

01:04:05.150 --> 01:04:07.249
Take the roadway and you\'re gone there

01:04:07.250 --> 01:04:09.528
has to be something with
respect to which your change.

01:04:09.529 --> 01:04:12.648
So they said there has to be
somebody that\'s not in time and not

01:04:12.649 --> 01:04:16.623
changing and therefore not in space
and not divided in that finite.

01:04:16.624 --> 01:04:20.418
They said there has to be something
underneath what receipt and it

01:04:20.419 --> 01:04:24.123
has to be changed as and has to
be infinite has to be undecided.

01:04:24.124 --> 01:04:27.289
And it has to show through why because

01:04:27.290 --> 01:04:29.449
the only way to get from

01:04:29.450 --> 01:04:33.469
the changes to the changing without
changing it is to make a mistake.

01:04:33.470 --> 01:04:38.374
So then they analyzed mistakes
And they said Your mistake.

01:04:38.375 --> 01:04:40.729
One thing for another there
are three things you had to

01:04:40.730 --> 01:04:43.848
do first you had to fail
to see what it really was

01:04:43.849 --> 01:04:46.309
second you have to jump to the
conclusion there was something

01:04:46.310 --> 01:04:48.769
else Thirdly you had to see
it in the first place where

01:04:48.770 --> 01:04:51.019
I never would have made a
mistake that way if it

01:04:51.020 --> 01:04:53.584
mistake afford for a share of
it because you saw the Ford.

01:04:53.585 --> 01:04:57.078
You didn\'t mistake a cow
for the Chevy okay.

01:04:57.079 --> 01:04:59.239
So they said that one is

01:04:59.240 --> 01:05:02.478
the veiling power when is projecting
power one is a revealing power.

01:05:02.479 --> 01:05:04.878
So they said what\'s underneath
has to show and what we

01:05:04.879 --> 01:05:07.639
see and it has to be changed
as and it has to be

01:05:07.640 --> 01:05:10.849
infinite has to be undivided
and it has to show through to

01:05:10.850 --> 01:05:14.149
me that\'s a very interesting way
of looking at this so then if

01:05:14.150 --> 01:05:17.509
you ask what is beyond the observable
universe it has to be the changes the m\'s

01:05:17.510 --> 01:05:21.019
and the undivided But we think there\'s

01:05:21.020 --> 01:05:28.339
a big empty space out there that\'s entirely
guesswork undivided is has to show that

01:05:28.340 --> 01:05:31.638
gravity the International show that\'s

01:05:31.639 --> 01:05:37.594
electricity and the change of sf.
Show that\'s inertia.

01:05:37.595 --> 01:05:43.564
If that model gave rise to some other kinds
of physics it wouldn\'t be interesting.

01:05:43.565 --> 01:05:50.374
It gives rise to the physics surgery C
and far which we have no explanation.

01:05:50.375 --> 01:05:55.669
Nobody at Caltech knows why
bicycles coast they know how Lycos.

01:05:55.670 --> 01:05:59.359
They have no idea why things
fall they know how they

01:05:59.360 --> 01:06:02.763
fall They have no idea
about any of this have

01:06:02.764 --> 01:06:05.659
no idea about inertia no idea
about gravity knew about

01:06:05.660 --> 01:06:10.474
electricity and if you ask them about
it they\'ll send you the Church.

01:06:10.475 --> 01:06:16.789
Anyway that\'s the way I see it there has to
be something beyond the observable burner.

01:06:16.790 --> 01:06:18.799
But we don\'t have to assume that it\'s

01:06:18.800 --> 01:06:23.628
space but you first have to understand
are there space and time it

01:06:23.629 --> 01:06:28.458
has to be real or whether it might be
this kind of a thing what else you guys

01:06:28.459 --> 01:06:33.349
worry about I want you to worry if

01:06:33.350 --> 01:06:36.769
you don\'t worry you\'re dead okay people

01:06:36.770 --> 01:06:40.218
who don\'t wonder about things there\'s
no use for them anyway somebody who

01:06:40.219 --> 01:06:48.063
has hand up over here What
we will do with the ozone.

01:06:48.064 --> 01:06:51.079
Well we\'re having trouble
with the ozone already

01:06:51.080 --> 01:06:56.958
and I don\'t know what we\'re gonna do
but my own feeling is that division is

01:06:56.959 --> 01:07:00.199
people are gonna rule like they do
now and they don\'t give a damn what

01:07:00.200 --> 01:07:03.708
happens to us the human race is not

01:07:03.709 --> 01:07:06.229
particularly concerned with what I see as

01:07:06.230 --> 01:07:11.178
the big problems the human race is not
concerned that we\'re all born thinking that

01:07:11.179 --> 01:07:14.928
this world is the whole universe
and that this world has

01:07:14.929 --> 01:07:19.683
been there forever and it will be here forever
that\'s bullshit it\'s gonna get melted.

01:07:19.684 --> 01:07:27.288
There are no permanent habitats Habitats are
temporary habitats are temporary there are

01:07:27.289 --> 01:07:31.968
no permanent habitats in
this universe there borne

01:07:31.969 --> 01:07:36.843
on the surface of a planet and they don\'t
think there\'s anything out there very far.

01:07:36.844 --> 01:07:38.658
They think they send it to
the moon or a couple of

01:07:38.659 --> 01:07:41.718
100 miles out there and then the same
distance away and they\'re not very

01:07:41.719 --> 01:07:44.613
big and they\'re not very
important and they don\'t

01:07:44.614 --> 01:07:47.988
think about anything beyond
the surface of the earth.

01:07:47.989 --> 01:07:52.729
They are genetically programmed to
think that this earth is permanent.

01:07:52.730 --> 01:07:57.229
Almost everybody in his guts feeling
that this world is permanent and that

01:07:57.230 --> 01:08:01.969
that\'s all there is you look
at all the religious people

01:08:01.970 --> 01:08:05.848
it\'s about this earth is not
about the rest of this stuff

01:08:05.849 --> 01:08:11.929
This word God means disrobe our youth as I

01:08:11.930 --> 01:08:13.413
always say that fish would have been

01:08:13.414 --> 01:08:18.709
boneless I would like

01:08:18.710 --> 01:08:23.673
to get their physicists back to their
equations to Einstein\'s equations.

01:08:23.674 --> 01:08:29.433
They have mistaken all of Special Relativity
both the geometry and the physics.

01:08:29.434 --> 01:08:32.389
They\'ve turned it to you in the wrong
way all over this planet ever since

01:08:32.390 --> 01:08:36.184
1905 I wanted to get them back
to the physics the way that

01:08:36.185 --> 01:08:39.738
the way the exterior decorator
does it and back to

01:08:39.739 --> 01:08:43.098
the geometry and the way the bacteria
decorated a and then I could

01:08:43.099 --> 01:08:48.589
get the vedantan is back to the Vedanta
vacuum it doesn\'t physicists saw Because if a

01:08:48.590 --> 01:08:50.959
Danton\'s have gotten off to they go into

01:08:50.960 --> 01:08:54.889
all kinds of spooks and they
don\'t do things the right way.

01:08:54.890 --> 01:08:57.779
So i have coupled with
both of it antigens and

01:08:57.780 --> 01:09:01.968
the physicists gotta get the redundance
activate under the physicist back to

01:09:01.969 --> 01:09:05.238
physics and then we only have
one thing we don\'t have to

01:09:05.239 --> 01:09:09.918
things as soon as the Vedanta
drawback of it under there back to

01:09:09.919 --> 01:09:13.348
physics and the physics the physics are

01:09:13.349 --> 01:09:17.819
back to their physics they\'ve activated
under there is only one thing here

01:09:22.090 --> 01:09:30.090
and then you can run it down here like
this And let\'s see if I can step out of

01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:38.089
it that\'s all you

01:09:38.090 --> 01:09:44.700
need to say well if everything
is understood we can quit.

01:09:47.530 --> 01:09:52.909
Okay let me ask one last one Do you
have any advice for us for living

01:09:52.910 --> 01:09:55.440
a long creative life

01:10:03.160 --> 01:10:07.668
but you have to be careful what you eat.

01:10:07.669 --> 01:10:14.599
Now you see the American diet Almost
all of B vitamins taken out and

01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:18.604
the vitamin C that is destroyed
by pasteurizing the milk

01:10:18.605 --> 01:10:23.344
is more vitamin C than is available
from the entire citrus crop.

01:10:23.345 --> 01:10:26.299
Now I\'m not against drinking
all raw milk because he had

01:10:26.300 --> 01:10:29.388
some other things you can get from
it but still you need to take your

01:10:29.389 --> 01:10:32.569
vitamin C. Because everybody on Earth makes

01:10:32.570 --> 01:10:36.229
its own Vitamin C except
guinea pigs fruit bats and

01:10:36.230 --> 01:10:44.230
yellow so you need to get some b
value is indeed to get some vitamins

01:10:54.100 --> 01:10:58.279
And this kid asked me if I
was in the astronomer or a

01:10:58.280 --> 01:11:04.020
comic and he said I said this is a
funny universe and I\'m not responsive.

01:11:05.500 --> 01:11:09.078
So it sounds like just from
how you were able to answer

01:11:09.079 --> 01:11:12.303
questions that you\'ve done
a lot of self teaching

01:11:12.304 --> 01:11:16.849
well yes I\'ve been exposed to a lot of
things people ask me sometimes how come

01:11:16.850 --> 01:11:22.740
into other stuff I say you stay
awake at night and get very own

01:11:33.010 --> 01:11:39.589
Dimona She had the Moon. The Moon.

01:11:39.590 --> 01:11:47.590
The Moon noise.

01:11:50.180 --> 01:11:51.768
Comes to the moon.

01:11:51.769 --> 01:11:55.050
We\'re looking at the
moon comes she the moon.

01:11:57.550 --> 01:12:04.669
Come see you and

01:12:04.670 --> 01:12:10.309
I was telling you that you

01:12:10.310 --> 01:12:12.888
told us about you I\'m not a myth.

01:12:12.889 --> 01:12:19.994
Would never find users like give us that
exist in the future That is incredible.

01:12:19.995 --> 01:12:25.069
I know the exterior decorator
does lovely work well who

01:12:25.070 --> 01:12:30.168
else who L. Well there are a
lot of their other few led to

01:12:30.169 --> 01:12:38.088
it now but the sidewalk has trimers charter
in 68 you say and this is what we do when I

01:12:38.089 --> 01:12:46.089
first close to a telescope this is way
back when in the 40s 50s late 50s.

01:12:46.490 --> 01:12:50.404
I sent my god everybody\'s got it she
did so that\'s what happened to me.

01:12:50.405 --> 01:12:57.749
Watch it might have a meal is so gorgeous

01:13:04.090 --> 01:13:06.960
The split

01:13:14.350 --> 01:13:22.350
is say

01:13:27.540 --> 01:13:35.540
j is

01:13:37.404 --> 01:13:40.979
being reached

01:13:45.580 --> 01:13:48.810
Anyway that\'s how it does

01:14:07.360 --> 01:14:15.360
your two root 222224

01:14:23.800 --> 01:14:26.759
The question

01:14:38.890 --> 01:14:41.369
was
