[MUSIC PLAYING]
2
00:00:10,380 --> 00:00:13,230
Many people think
that space is empty.
3
00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:15,010
But is it?
4
00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:18,150
In this episode, we explore
the fullness of space
5
00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:21,030
and what it means to our
understanding of physics
6
00:00:21,030 --> 00:00:22,532
and the universe.
7
00:00:22,532 --> 00:00:25,976
[MUSIC PLAYING]
8
00:00:34,850 --> 00:00:36,670
What is space?
9
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:41,740
Really when we think about it,
space is everywhere, as we saw.
10
00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:43,990
Atoms are mostly
made out of space.
11
00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:47,500
And the little jiggle that
we call the material world
12
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:50,350
is just an electrostatic
field that's
13
00:00:50,350 --> 00:00:53,800
interacting with each other
and makes it seem solid.
14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:59,290
So basically, we have less
solid and more solid space.
15
00:00:59,290 --> 00:01:02,920
When we talk about vacuum
fluctuation in physics,
16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,810
people have a tendency to think
we're talking about a chamber
17
00:01:07,810 --> 00:01:13,150
that we pull all the air out
and it's got a vacuum in there.
18
00:01:13,150 --> 00:01:14,870
That's not what
we're talking about.
19
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:20,950
We're talking about the
energy in the space, right?
20
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:26,320
The vacuum fluctuation
is the energy
21
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:30,640
that would still be there if
you remove all the molecules
22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,390
in a vacuum chamber.
23
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:35,740
And so it's something
that's already there.
24
00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:40,780
And it's not something
that occurs only
25
00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:44,650
in a certain condition
or in a certain region
26
00:01:44,650 --> 00:01:48,640
or under certain
vacuum condition.
27
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,890
But it's basically
the jiggle of space
28
00:01:53,890 --> 00:01:56,200
everywhere, whether
we're talking
29
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:03,400
about space like intergalactic
space or interstellar space
30
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,680
or if we're talking about space
at the molecular structure
31
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,010
like the space between atoms,
the space inside the atom,
32
00:02:12,010 --> 00:02:14,920
the space inside particles.
33
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:19,960
All this space jiggle with
electromagnetic fluctuation.
34
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,150
And these vacuum fluctuations
appear in many different ways
35
00:02:25,150 --> 00:02:26,620
in physics.
36
00:02:26,620 --> 00:02:29,710
When Paul Dirac wrote the
equations for quantum field
37
00:02:29,710 --> 00:02:32,980
theory, it appeared that these
fluctuations were popping
38
00:02:32,980 --> 00:02:37,510
particles in and out of
our reality continuously.
39
00:02:37,510 --> 00:02:41,140
This was described
as the Dirac Sea,
40
00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:46,240
a sea of energetic
particle popping in and out
41
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,420
of our reality continuously.
42
00:02:49,420 --> 00:02:53,470
And so they were
deemed to be virtual
43
00:02:53,470 --> 00:02:57,100
just because they're
not in existence
44
00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:02,020
in our experience
for a very long time.
45
00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:04,660
That doesn't mean
they're not there.
46
00:03:04,660 --> 00:03:08,650
The word virtual
particles, here,
47
00:03:08,650 --> 00:03:11,620
does not mean that they're
not real particles.
48
00:03:11,620 --> 00:03:13,180
It just means that
they're only there
49
00:03:13,180 --> 00:03:15,140
for a very short amount of time.
50
00:03:15,140 --> 00:03:19,360
And so these fluctuations
are essential to our equation
51
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,100
in quantum theory.
52
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:23,590
Many of the subatomic
particles are
53
00:03:23,590 --> 00:03:27,250
thought to emerge from
these fluctuations.
54
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:31,030
And this fluctuation
of the vacuum
55
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:35,590
actually is the basis from
which, for instance, Higgs
56
00:03:35,590 --> 00:03:39,400
was able to write his
equation for the Higgs-Boson
57
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,300
and for the Higgs
Interaction, the Higgs Field,
58
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:51,070
which was thought to
be the basis of mass,
59
00:03:51,070 --> 00:03:53,530
or the emergence of mass.
60
00:03:53,530 --> 00:03:59,050
So it really is omnipresent
in quantum field theory,
61
00:03:59,050 --> 00:04:00,430
in quantum theory.
62
00:04:00,430 --> 00:04:03,910
And it is, as well,
becoming more and more
63
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:07,940
utilized in our physics
all over the place,
64
00:04:07,940 --> 00:04:11,710
including at the
cosmological level when
65
00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:16,300
we look at the surface of
black holes and their dynamics.
66
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:20,890
So it's really interesting that,
for the first time as well,
67
00:04:20,890 --> 00:04:26,020
we were able to observe the
fluctuations of the vacuum
68
00:04:26,020 --> 00:04:31,830
at the cosmological level near
the surface of a neutron star.
69
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:36,840
It seems a little strange to
think that particles can come
70
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:39,210
from nothing, from the vacuum.
71
00:04:39,210 --> 00:04:42,240
The thing is is that the
vacuum is not nothing.
72
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,500
In fact, we are not able to
find anywhere in the universe
73
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:50,050
where there is nothing.
74
00:04:50,050 --> 00:04:53,200
There is always
electromagnetic fluctuation.
75
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:58,030
And this field, the
quantum fluctuation
76
00:04:58,030 --> 00:05:01,390
of the vacuum at
the quantum scale,
77
00:05:01,390 --> 00:05:05,950
has been deemed, as
well, zero point energy,
78
00:05:05,950 --> 00:05:10,990
because even at 0 Kelvin,
these equations show that there
79
00:05:10,990 --> 00:05:12,900
would still be fluctuation.
80
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:16,960
There's nowhere where
we can stop the vacuum
81
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,630
from being the vacuum.
82
00:05:19,630 --> 00:05:26,110
This is very significant because
it means that it's everywhere.
83
00:05:26,110 --> 00:05:28,150
And it's fluctuating.
84
00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:32,200
That means it has
energy everywhere.
85
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,240
And this energy is non-trivial.
86
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,360
It's a lot of energy.
87
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,700
When we look at the
energy that we require
88
00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:50,170
to relate the energy
of mass, gravity,
89
00:05:50,170 --> 00:05:55,660
the dynamic of our universe,
the creation of our universe,
90
00:05:55,660 --> 00:05:58,450
and so on, then
all of a sudden we
91
00:05:58,450 --> 00:06:02,620
realize that there is a source
of energy that's already
92
00:06:02,620 --> 00:06:06,250
present that we call
vacuum fluctuation,
93
00:06:06,250 --> 00:06:11,170
and that that source could
be the source of everything.
94
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:15,400
This means that there is
nothing either than the vacuum,
95
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,180
meaning that the vacuum
fluctuations, when they become
96
00:06:19,180 --> 00:06:22,900
coherent, are able
to produce what
97
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:26,510
we call as our material world.
98
00:06:26,510 --> 00:06:30,410
Now, we will discuss
that in more details.
99
00:06:30,410 --> 00:06:35,060
But these vacuum
fluctuations, although
100
00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:37,880
their earlier
interpretation was thought
101
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,230
to be completely random, we're
discovering that they may not
102
00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:47,150
be random, that they may
be polarized and organized
103
00:06:47,150 --> 00:06:51,170
in certain ways that when
they do become organized,
104
00:06:51,170 --> 00:06:54,830
they produce what
we call matter.
105
00:06:54,830 --> 00:07:01,880
And as matter get together,
then the organization
106
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,180
of this information
field, if you'd like,
107
00:07:06,180 --> 00:07:09,650
could become something
that we understand
108
00:07:09,650 --> 00:07:13,970
as the source of what we call
awareness or consciousness.
109
00:07:13,970 --> 00:07:20,030
So there's lots of implication
to understanding these vacuum
110
00:07:20,030 --> 00:07:24,470
fluctuations, how they work,
what's their energy level,
111
00:07:24,470 --> 00:07:30,050
and very importantly as we
describe, with the Casimir
112
00:07:30,050 --> 00:07:31,040
effect.
113
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,040
If enough of a gradient can
be created in the structure
114
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,150
of the vacuum, we can get the
vacuum to produce work for us
115
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:40,370
as it moves through
the gradient.
116
00:07:40,370 --> 00:07:45,020
When vacuum fluctuations push
or pump the Casimir plates
117
00:07:45,020 --> 00:07:47,450
back and forth, we
can theoretically
118
00:07:47,450 --> 00:07:51,440
extract energy in what is
called the Casimir effect.
119
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,810
Consider that if this
is the energy that
120
00:07:53,810 --> 00:07:57,350
is producing all of our reality,
then the amount of energy
121
00:07:57,350 --> 00:08:00,180
we can extract is enormous.
122
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:02,950
Now, it's important to
realize when we're talking
123
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:05,840
about the vacuum, and we're
talking about these vacuum
124
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,190
fluctuations, we're not just
talking about vacuum out there
125
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:12,230
or vacuum inside atoms.
126
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:16,300
We're talking about
vacuum inside of you.
127
00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:18,620
You're made out of molecules.
128
00:08:18,620 --> 00:08:20,360
You're made out of atoms.
129
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:27,140
And so the space inside of you,
which is 99.9999% percent you,
130
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:31,060
is fluctuating as well.
131
00:08:31,060 --> 00:08:39,580
And this is a motion that
you may think as stochastic.
132
00:08:39,580 --> 00:08:41,669
And certainly,
that's the way it's
133
00:08:41,669 --> 00:08:45,670
been thought of, meaning
that it is random,
134
00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:47,730
it has no organization.
135
00:08:47,730 --> 00:08:52,780
And that's why, in general, it
has been ignored, because it's
136
00:08:52,780 --> 00:08:56,340
thought to be irrelevant
since it all cancels out
137
00:08:56,340 --> 00:08:58,530
to the random function of it.
138
00:08:58,530 --> 00:09:00,810
In fact, science is
discovering that there are
139
00:09:00,810 --> 00:09:03,330
regions of space
that are stochastic,
140
00:09:03,330 --> 00:09:07,410
or have random probability
distribution or pattern that
141
00:09:07,410 --> 00:09:11,130
may be analyzed statistically,
but may not be predicted
142
00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:12,510
precisely.
143
00:09:12,510 --> 00:09:15,540
This is where the
material cannot be seen.
144
00:09:15,540 --> 00:09:18,940
But it is observed that
those regions are organized.
145
00:09:18,940 --> 00:09:22,470
And that is where
matter emerges.
146
00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:26,340
This might be, as well,
the source of black holes.
147
00:09:26,340 --> 00:09:30,660
And matter might just be
smaller black holes coming out
148
00:09:30,660 --> 00:09:33,060
of bigger black
holes, and so on.
149
00:09:33,060 --> 00:09:36,720
And so there is a
whole new understanding
150
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,370
of physics that emerge from
realizing that these vacuum
151
00:09:41,370 --> 00:09:45,420
fluctuations that
you're made of may
152
00:09:45,420 --> 00:09:50,790
be the source of
this material world
153
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:56,610
and the energy of the material
world that is equal to mass,
154
00:09:56,610 --> 00:10:01,600
or the structure of reality.
155
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,594
Although we think of these
fluctuations as random,
156
00:10:05,594 --> 00:10:13,050
randomness may only be
an artifact of the sample
157
00:10:13,050 --> 00:10:15,960
that you're looking at.
158
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,520
Let me give you an example.
159
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,890
If you put your nose
into a Persian rug,
160
00:10:22,890 --> 00:10:25,740
you're going to see
particles of dust.
161
00:10:25,740 --> 00:10:28,950
And you're going to
see fibers of the wool
162
00:10:28,950 --> 00:10:31,330
that the carpet is made of.
163
00:10:31,330 --> 00:10:33,750
And you might see a
few different colors
164
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:38,430
of these other fibers being
there, and then grains of sand
165
00:10:38,430 --> 00:10:42,000
because the carpet is not
perfectly clean, and dust,
166
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:42,900
and all this.
167
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:46,710
You might look at all this,
looked like a complete mess.
168
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:49,860
And you might not be able
to see a pattern at all.
169
00:10:49,860 --> 00:10:52,170
And most likely, you won't.
170
00:10:52,170 --> 00:10:55,380
If you're looking close,
you will not see a pattern.
171
00:10:55,380 --> 00:10:58,350
But then as soon as
you back up and you
172
00:10:58,350 --> 00:11:02,050
start getting more and more
of the field of vision,
173
00:11:02,050 --> 00:11:04,200
then you start to see patterns.
174
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:10,470
You start to see that there's
beautiful design of this rug.
175
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:13,860
You see the colors
actually working together
176
00:11:13,860 --> 00:11:17,260
to produce this amazing design.
177
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:20,070
So when we look at
the universe or we
178
00:11:20,070 --> 00:11:23,370
look at large
portion of space, we
179
00:11:23,370 --> 00:11:26,040
might think that it
all looks random.
180
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:32,700
But actually, if we
looked big enough,
181
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:36,840
we might actually find
order in something
182
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,050
as large as a universe.
183
00:11:40,050 --> 00:11:42,540
We've started to see
something like that.
184
00:11:42,540 --> 00:11:47,130
We start to see large structure
on the cosmological scales
185
00:11:47,130 --> 00:11:49,500
when we look at super clusters.
186
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:52,380
We see organization
where they start
187
00:11:52,380 --> 00:11:57,630
to look like they're organizing
as huge octahedron, tetrahedron
188
00:11:57,630 --> 00:12:00,070
in the space, like a crystal.
189
00:12:00,070 --> 00:12:03,060
And we see
organization, certainly,
190
00:12:03,060 --> 00:12:04,710
at the molecular level.
191
00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:08,640
What we're discovering
is that when
192
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,830
the structure of the
vacuum itself is organized,
193
00:12:13,830 --> 00:12:19,830
it produces effects that
we see as our reality.
194
00:12:19,830 --> 00:12:24,210
And that is very
profound because we
195
00:12:24,210 --> 00:12:30,870
realize that all of reality
is part of one thing that
196
00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:37,170
is organized by the structure
of spin, by angular momentum,
197
00:12:37,170 --> 00:12:39,315
by the geometry of the field.
198
00:12:41,820 --> 00:12:45,660
Imagine that you
tried to define space.
199
00:12:45,660 --> 00:12:49,920
And you find that OK,
well you can always
200
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,910
divide to smaller and
smaller and smaller space.
201
00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:56,460
You would never reach the end.
202
00:12:56,460 --> 00:13:01,250
You can divide one in half,
and then in quarters, and then
203
00:13:01,250 --> 00:13:04,350
in eighths, and so on and
so on and so on and so on.
204
00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:06,960
You will never
arrive at the end.
205
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,690
If there is energy there, then
it has an infinite potential.
206
00:13:12,690 --> 00:13:18,090
Clearly, this could
be a source of energy
207
00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:23,640
with infinite potential for
humanity, a source of energy
208
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,840
that would give us something
that could be thought
209
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,450
of as gravity control.
210
00:13:30,450 --> 00:13:35,100
There's all kinds of
application in realizing
211
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:40,260
that we are all bathing
in this infinite,
212
00:13:40,260 --> 00:13:43,770
or very close to
infinite, level of energy
213
00:13:43,770 --> 00:13:45,590
that we call the vacuum.
214
00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:51,270
We're discovering that this
vacuum energy is everywhere,
215
00:13:51,270 --> 00:13:53,850
and that it's
producing everything.
216
00:13:53,850 --> 00:13:58,080
And so we are starting
to think maybe
217
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,440
we can become vacuum engineers.
218
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,800
We can engineer
the vacuum together
219
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,570
to do a little bit of
what we want it to do.
220
00:14:09,570 --> 00:14:12,180
And if we are
successful at this,
221
00:14:12,180 --> 00:14:14,565
the implications are amazing.
222
00:14:17,580 --> 00:14:22,120
On an everyday level,
what you should take away
223
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,940
from this episode
is that you are
224
00:14:24,940 --> 00:14:30,240
bathing in a field of energy.
225
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,270
Our body is made of
that field of energy.
226
00:14:33,270 --> 00:14:36,570
It's called atoms,
molecules, or cells.
227
00:14:36,570 --> 00:14:40,410
This field of energy is flowing
in and out of the human body
228
00:14:40,410 --> 00:14:43,070
continuously.
229
00:14:43,070 --> 00:14:46,600
When it flows out of you,
you call it thermodynamics.
230
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,700
You call it the heat
of your body and so on.
231
00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:51,800
When it's flowing
into you, maybe you
232
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,210
call it thoughts
and the energy that
233
00:14:56,210 --> 00:15:00,050
propels you throughout the day.
234
00:15:00,050 --> 00:15:03,620
Becoming aware of
this energy, becoming
235
00:15:03,620 --> 00:15:11,930
aware of this source of reality,
allows you to maybe start
236
00:15:11,930 --> 00:15:18,290
to manipulate it or start to
interact with it in such a way
237
00:15:18,290 --> 00:15:22,970
that you feel more energized,
you feel more aligned,
238
00:15:22,970 --> 00:15:27,320
you feel more
empathy for the rest
239
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,030
of the things in the space.
240
00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:31,100
You start to feel nature.
241
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:35,510
You start to feel one with
the structure of space
242
00:15:35,510 --> 00:15:39,950
instead of feeling
isolated and separated.
243
00:15:39,950 --> 00:15:43,820
You feel unified
with the universe.
244
00:15:43,820 --> 00:15:46,840
And that might bring
you a sense of comfort,
245
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,890
a sense of connection
that can lead you
246
00:15:51,890 --> 00:16:00,770
to incredible discoveries and
a sense of wellness that could
247
00:16:00,770 --> 00:16:03,900
be transformative in your life.
248
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:08,750
So this is really what
I wanted to convey
249
00:16:08,750 --> 00:16:13,910
in these first few episodes,
is that this is real.
250
00:16:13,910 --> 00:16:15,890
It's been measured.
251
00:16:15,890 --> 00:16:17,180
It's there.
252
00:16:17,180 --> 00:16:18,770
We know it's there.
253
00:16:18,770 --> 00:16:22,280
And it's rapidly
arriving to a place
254
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:27,710
where myself and many other
scientists are realizing, wow.
255
00:16:27,710 --> 00:16:30,690
This could be the
source of everything.
256
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:32,930
And we're finally getting there.
257
00:16:32,930 --> 00:16:37,760
And we can start
to interact with it
258
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,630
in a completely different way.
259
00:16:40,630 --> 00:16:45,490
The separation we experience
is really an illusion.
260
00:16:45,490 --> 00:16:48,490
Like for instance
right now, we are
261
00:16:48,490 --> 00:16:52,450
interacting with the background
radiation of the galaxy.
262
00:16:52,450 --> 00:16:54,320
We might not be aware of it.
263
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,910
But we are, because
it's in the space.
264
00:16:57,910 --> 00:17:00,740
We're interacting with all
the electromagnetic fields
265
00:17:00,740 --> 00:17:01,540
and so on.
266
00:17:01,540 --> 00:17:04,599
There's all kinds of
levels of interaction
267
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:07,599
that we're not directly
conscious of, including
268
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:10,750
more gross ones like the
fact that we're breathing
269
00:17:10,750 --> 00:17:14,280
and our heart is beating and
our liver is doing its thing,
270
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,190
kidneys are doing--
271
00:17:15,190 --> 00:17:18,099
there's all kinds of things
happening that we're not
272
00:17:18,099 --> 00:17:20,380
consciously manipulating.
273
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:21,980
They're still happening.
274
00:17:21,980 --> 00:17:26,859
And so we are
discovering that we
275
00:17:26,859 --> 00:17:34,230
are profoundly deeper
and more complex
276
00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:39,120
than initially we might
interpret ourself.
277
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:44,790
And that depth and
complexity emerge
278
00:17:44,790 --> 00:17:48,000
not from some
philosophical ideas,
279
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,950
but actually from, literally,
the mechanics of how
280
00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:56,130
the physical world emerge.
281
00:17:56,130 --> 00:17:59,400
There is a concept that is
common amongst truth seekers
282
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,150
or people on the spiritual path
that there are spiritual things
283
00:18:03,150 --> 00:18:04,815
and there are material things.
284
00:18:07,870 --> 00:18:12,010
That, as well, is a concept
of separation, fragmentation,
285
00:18:12,010 --> 00:18:13,690
and isolation.
286
00:18:13,690 --> 00:18:17,740
Is it possible that what we call
the spiritual world may just
287
00:18:17,740 --> 00:18:20,350
be the physics that we
have yet to understand
288
00:18:20,350 --> 00:18:24,250
about the physical world, which
includes the information flows
289
00:18:24,250 --> 00:18:27,490
that we call consciousness
or awareness?
290
00:18:32,250 --> 00:18:36,580
It's kind of a funny
thing when we say I,
291
00:18:36,580 --> 00:18:44,020
because if this is all true and
the space is full and it has
292
00:18:44,020 --> 00:18:51,960
infinite division possibility,
then everything has infinity
293
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,890
in it.
294
00:18:52,890 --> 00:19:01,290
And saying I is a little
bit confusing because when
295
00:19:01,290 --> 00:19:09,270
you say I am who I am or I
am one, which I do you mean?
296
00:19:09,270 --> 00:19:12,860
Do you mean you meaning
all of your cells?
297
00:19:12,860 --> 00:19:16,070
Do you mean you meaning
all of your atoms
298
00:19:16,070 --> 00:19:17,660
and then all of your cells?
299
00:19:17,660 --> 00:19:20,810
Do you mean you meaning
all of your protons,
300
00:19:20,810 --> 00:19:22,760
and so on and so on and so on?
301
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:30,410
You can't really find the end
of I or the beginning of I
302
00:19:30,410 --> 00:19:33,410
because you can
divide to infinity.
303
00:19:33,410 --> 00:19:41,210
And to think of yourself as a
being with infinite potential
304
00:19:41,210 --> 00:19:46,840
might be a more accurate
understanding of yourself.
305
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,780
Then, to think of yourself
as just this agglomeration
306
00:19:50,780 --> 00:19:55,250
of cells that happened to
come together a few years ago
307
00:19:55,250 --> 00:19:59,450
and that will come apart
in the next few years
308
00:19:59,450 --> 00:20:02,360
may not be an
accurate description
309
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:07,520
of who you are in relationship
to the universe as a whole.
310
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,090
At the deepest
level, who are you?
311
00:20:11,090 --> 00:20:20,770
Well, maybe you are the whole
individualized into you.
312
00:20:20,770 --> 00:20:24,090
And so when you
say I, you're only
313
00:20:24,090 --> 00:20:26,510
describing one scale of you.
314
00:20:26,510 --> 00:20:30,480
There might be whole other
levels of scales of you
315
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,310
that you're not aware of
because we haven't understood
316
00:20:35,310 --> 00:20:41,940
this level of depth of reality
that we are discovering now.
317
00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:47,580
And that depth and
complexity emerge
318
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:50,820
not from some
philosophical ideas,
319
00:20:50,820 --> 00:20:55,770
but actually from literally
the mechanics of how
320
00:20:55,770 --> 00:20:58,290
the physical world emerge.
321
00:20:58,290 --> 00:21:01,530
The idea that there
is spiritual things
322
00:21:01,530 --> 00:21:04,170
and there's material
things is, as well,
323
00:21:04,170 --> 00:21:09,220
a concept of separation and
fragmentation and isolation.
324
00:21:09,220 --> 00:21:15,540
In fact, what we call the
spiritual world in these views
325
00:21:15,540 --> 00:21:20,790
may just be the physics
that we hadn't understood,
326
00:21:20,790 --> 00:21:24,090
the dynamics of
the physical world
327
00:21:24,090 --> 00:21:27,120
which includes the
information flow
328
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:30,060
that we call consciousness
or awareness.
329
00:21:30,060 --> 00:21:33,710
