In short there his much greater probability for boltzman brain than big bang , if you believe in big bang you must believe in boltzman brains . According to that you are just mess of atoms who randomly formed into some kind of brain in some space and you become concious 1s ago with memory of your whole life and you will die 1s later and you really don't exist but just happend for atoms to line up so they make you think you do .

Well if you think that there is something more than random alignment of atoms then you are standing for a designer ?


Have you ever heard the term "false dichotomy"?

(I'm presuming English is not your first language and do not wish to give offense.)

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

Can anyone give a summary?
Dr. M. Kaku tells, and lists references, to other scientists, who wrote in their papers: we are absolutely sure now, that Universe does not exists. But why can't they just say "God did it, so Universe with God both must exist."???

An experiment failed to find any difference between anti-hydrogen and hydrogen, thus failing to give a clue to the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in our (local) universe. Not in the video: differences between matter and antimatter are observed but mostly in mesons, not in the baryons that make up most matter (e.g. protons and neutrons), and the difference is not large enough to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry.
Can you show references to CPT-violation? All I have seen is only 3 sigma of CP-asymmetry, not the CPT-violation (!!!). We need 5 sigma (or more) of certainty.

Many also say, "God did it, and let's see if we can find a physical mechanism by which matter came to dominate our universe."
So, before the time, there was God Father, God Son, God Holy Spirit and their divine mechanisms: divine cars, divine airplanes, divine hummers, .... It is a heresy!!!

What? We're talking about the development of a matter-antimatter asymmetry during the early history of the universe. That's very much within time.

There is no need to invoke CPT violation to generate a matter-antimatter asymmetry. In the conventional mechanism, ll you need is violation of CP symmetry, along with baryon number nonconservation and departure from thermal equilibrium; see here for details. CP violation in the weak sector is very well established. It was first seen in neutral K decays in 1964 and the discovery earned the Nobel Prize. The issue is that there is not enough CP violation in observed processes to explain the observed matter-antimatter imbalance. Or so the theorists say -- I was an experimental particle physicist, and relied on theorists to tell me things like that.

The Standard Model of Particles demands not CP, but the CPT invariance. Therefore the Nobel Prize for K decays in 1964 was not the breaking of the Standard Model.

Tell us how much matter and how much antimatter was in the very first moment of History of Time? This, the very first moment is under discussion.

Sure. But we're not talking about what the Standard Model demands; we're talking about what proposed models of matter-antimatter asymmetry demand. And they demand violation of CP invariance, not of CPT invariance.

No, that's simply wrong. The assumption of the models being discussed is that at the very earliest points in the history of the universe, there were equal amounts of matter and antimatter, and that some process changed that symmetry. Those processes would occur within time.

Yeah. Every time you spontaneously form you say that. And every time I reply, "Nonsense!"
Is this really the best way to spend Eternity?

If atoms in your brain make your thoughs why would you trust your atoms and my atoms in my brain not ? Do you value your atoms to be better in some way than mine or do you invoke something more than atoms are in your brain?

It's not false , there is either randomness or no randomness , if you see third option let me know .
You deny to choose because you know on both ends it will end up with God which was what i trapped you in :3

That is a very revealing question. What it tells me is that you have decided that any position other than yours must amount to reductionist materialism. Do you actually believe that, or are you just using it as a rhetorical tactic?

I tend to value thoughts and opinions that are most aligned with well evidenced reality. That is just me though.
