    I can’t wait to see all of this series. I’m so sick of the fundy mantra, “You think the universe came from NOTHING.” Whoa there, Mr. Potato Head, scientists never said anything of the sort.

    This is so good. This man transmits waves of knowledge. Thanks for posting. By the way, in 38:55, universe “expands quasistatically”, I guess that’s what he meant.

    “”TO ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE READING THIS : DOSE THE ELECTRICITY OF BRAIN CAN BE HACKED VIA SOME TECHNOLOGY? Can ANY Microwaves or ELF Waves Manipulate the Electricity of the brain?
    My Clear Question : Do some people Reading OUR MINDS And manipulating our subconscious regions of mind-brain via having the electricity of our brain in thier computers?

    I hope for search, curiosity.
