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

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Matt Ridley go in depth to explore the Covid 19 outbreak, scrutinizing the lack of criticism, the inherent red flags widely accepted as benign, the possible motive for a multi-government cover up, and ultimately the demise of the scientific enlightenment as it bends to a more fearsome pandemic: totalitarianism. Matt Ridley is a British writer, journalist, and public speaker. His books collectively have sold over a million copies, and have been translated into 31 languages. His books include The Red Queen, The Origins of Virtue, Genome, Nature via Nurture, Francis Crick, The Rational Optimist, The Evolution of Everything, and How Innovation Works. He is also frequently published in the Wall Street Journal, and in the Times (London), as a columnist. As a speaker, Ridley has seen over two million views for his TED talk, “When Ideas Have Sex.” Ridley focuses on the area of science for his writings, and held the role of science editor at the Economist for nine years. - Links - For Matt Ridley: Matt Ridley’s newest book, Viral, is now available in a revised and expanded edition, find it here https://www.amazon.com/Viral-Search-COVID-19-Matt-Ridley/dp/006313912X or the audio/digital version here https://a.co/d/aVdU6zV Matt Ridley’s Website https://www.mattridley.co.uk/ Twitter https://twitter.com/mattwridley?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Facebook https://www.facebook.com/authormattridley/ - Chapters - (0:00) Coming up (1:31) Intro (4:25) The origin of the Covid 19 outbreak (7:39) Adapted for humans (11:42) Immediate effectiveness (13:50) Inserted genetic information (16:29) Early concerns of engineering, the pangolin problem (20:00) Reputation management, potential cover up (25:00) The smoking gun, Project Defuse (28:24) The impossibility of ethical science in a totalitarian country (33:50) When presumptions don’t add up (37:00) Framing the pandemic as political, a distraction (45:16) 80,000 animals tested in Wuhan, 0 infected (50:30) The lack of criticism for the Chinese government (53:53) Potential darkness, spreading totalitarianism (57:03) China envy, recalling the USSR (1:01:23) Other possible motives (1:05:24) The sad evolution of scientific inquiry (1:09:30) The demise of the enlightenment (1:17:15) The antagonism between religion and science (1:22:07) Truth over consequence (1:28:01) The conflation of religion as a faith and as an institution (1:36:00) The spirit of inquiry (1:38:37) Dawkins; not seeking the answer, following the questions (1:43:20) The truth will set you free // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/jordanbpeterson.com/youtubesignup Donations: https://jordanbpeterson.com/donate // COURSES // Discovering Personality: https://jordanbpeterson.com/personality Self Authoring Suite: https://selfauthoring.com Understand Myself (personality test): https://understandmyself.com // BOOKS // Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life: https://jordanbpeterson.com/Beyond-Order 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos: https://jordanbpeterson.com/12-rules-for-life Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief: https://jordanbpeterson.com/maps-of-meaning // LINKS // Website: https://jordanbpeterson.com Events: https://jordanbpeterson.com/events Blog: https://jordanbpeterson.com/blog Podcast: https://jordanbpeterson.com/podcast // SOCIAL // Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson Instagram: https://instagram.com/jordan.b.peterson Facebook: https://facebook.com/drjordanpeterson Telegram: https://t.me/DrJordanPeterson All socials: https://linktr.ee/drjordanbpeterson #JordanPeterson #JordanBPeterson #DrJordanPeterson #DrJordanBPeterson #DailyWirePlus ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEh5JyZC218

I spoke at a Heritage Foundation event in New York City in April 2019. Genevieve Wood and I discussed reasons for the apparently increasing attractiveness of socialist ideas in America and the (countervailing) importance and meaningful of personal responsibility, as well as considering why communicating that import appears to be appealing to such a large number of people. You can also listen to the interview on The Heritage Events Podcast (http://bit.ly/2UQokcM). And, you can read what Heritage president Kay Coles James has to say to the younger generation about socialism here: https://herit.ag/2GxxbXc The full program, which includes an address by the Heritage Foundation President Kay Cole James is available here at the Heritage Foundation YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/2VhTvNF (as is the lecture that I am posting here, on my channel, now). --- SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL --- Donations: https://www.jordanbpeterson.com/donate ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p2vobGtS0M

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is joined by the late author and commentator Rex Murphy, who guides us through the boundless Canadian province of Newfoundland. Between complete isolation and the cutting edge of history and modernity, its people and culture stand resilient. Our hosts journey from port to port, taking in the unrivaled beauty while discussing John Cabot’s historic arrival, modern day challenges of the fishing industry, breakthroughs in both spirit and science, and the awe-inspiring kindness shown by Gander residents after September 11, which captured hearts and minds all across the globe. Dedicated to Rex Murphy, a true friend of Canada Rex Murphy was thoroughly Canadian: a writer and commentator who centered much of his work on the country that he loved. First gaining attention in 1965 for a speech given at Memorial University, he called Newfoundland’s then-Premier Joey Smallwood “dictatorial,” launching him as a voice against tyranny. For 21 years, Rex regularly hosted CBC Radio One’s Cross Country Checkup and published a column in the Saturday edition of the Globe and Mail. Rex was seen, heard, and listened to by millions of Canadians for decades. Much of his writing and opinions have been preserved in published books such as 2003’s “Points of View” and 2009’s “Canada and Other Matters of Opinion.” Always considerate of those who he could help, Rex was humble, grounded, and full of wit — traits that continually brought admirers to hear his commentary. A lifetime lover of his country, Rex was a valiant man of his words who bravely said what he believed throughout his life until the very end. He passed on May 9, 2024, at the age of 77.
