Summary

I was recently invited on Coast to Coast AM to discuss topics ranging from cosmic origins and the simulation hypothesis to religion and the Nobel Prize. Enjoy! Coast to Coast AM is a late-night radio talk show covering various topics. Most often, the topics relate to paranormal phenomena or conspiracy theories. It was hosted by its creator, Art Bell, from its inception in 1988 until 2003 and is now hosted by George Noory. — Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro 01:02 Simulation hypothesis 05:36 The multiverse theory 08:56 How I lost the Nobel Prize 17:28 Discussing the Big Bang 20:03 Giant telescopes and observatories 25:56 Science vs. religion 28:18 Audience questions 47:00 Outro — Additional resources: ➡️ Check out Coast to Coast AM: 💻 Website: https://www.coasttocoastam.com/ — ➡️ Follow me on your fav platforms: ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating 🔔 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DrBrianKeating?sub_confirmation=1 📝 Join my mailing list: https://briankeating.com/list ✍️ Check out my blog: https://briankeating.com/cosmic-musings/ 🎙️ Follow my podcast: https://briankeating.com/podcast — Into the Impossible with Brian Keating is a podcast dedicated to all those who want to explore the universe within and beyond the known.

0:00.0	I'm not really married to that idea that there has to be a singular point when time itself came into existence.
0:07.3	It's such a mind-bending concept that part of me thinks, well, why couldn't there be a universe that existed on the Monday before our
0:15.7	universe came into existence?
0:16.7	You know, there was a day, if you think about it.
0:19.0	If we just keep counting back 24 hours at a time, then we'll come to some day when the universe began and at least our observable
0:25.8	universe began.
0:26.8	But there's no telling what lies beyond that.
0:29.0	And I think that's what makes science so exciting. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
0:45.0	Open the pod bay doors.
0:49.6	And welcome back George Nori with Brian Keating. He's got a couple of books including
0:51.2	into the impossible, that is one the others called

1:17.6	podcast named Nick Bostrom.
1:19.6	He's a philosopher and his essential argument goes like this with the rapid pace of computer power,
1:26.4	transistor number, and eventually memory and quantum computers and then artificial
1:32.0	intelligence. We're now able to affect and then artificial intelligence,
1:33.0	we're now able to effectively replicate
1:37.0	the most complex dynamics, the physics of smoke
1:41.0	and collisions and particles smashing together at near the speed of light and the universe as a whole.
