This is 2 hours long and well worth watching. If you don’t have the time, it’s worth bookmarking for the future. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Krauss’ work. One of the bright spots of living in Arizona is that Krauss lectures at ASU. ~ Kim
SOMETHING FROM NOTHING?
A conversation with Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss
7pm | Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012 | ASU Gammage Auditorium
Join critically-acclaimed author and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and world-renowned theoretical physicist and author Lawrence Krauss as they discuss biology, cosmology, religion, and a host of other topics.
The authors will also discuss their new books. Dawkins recently published The Magic of Reality: How We Know What’s Really True, an exploration of the magic of discovery embodied in the practice of science. Written for all age groups, the book moves forward from historical examples of supernatural explanations of natural phenomena to focus on the actual science behind how the world works.
Krauss’s latest book, A Universe from Nothing: Why There is Something Rather than Nothing, explains the scientific advances that provide insight into how the universe formed. Krauss tackles the age-old assumption that something cannot arise from nothing by arguing that not only can something arise from nothing, but something will always arise from nothing.
This is so good.
About half-way through. Really good watch.
Re-blogging because...REALLY need to watch this.
