finally here039s my reply to onceforgivennowfree039s matt039s response to holy hallucinations 20 it039s taken me quite a while to make this because it was the most difficult script i039ve had to write so far not because of the quality of his arguments i should add but because of the sheer number of new subjects he introduced the original was twice as long as the final product and as it is this is the longest video i039ve ever made and give039s matt far more attention than he merits so deciding what not to address was quite a chorethe topics i would have like to have dealt with in more detail include some of his comments on the quotwhat is lifequot panel discussion some more information on abiogenesis and the evolution of proteins and more details on his example of the evolution of domestic dogs in the latter case i could have gone on for much longer but because of time constraints chose to focus on matt039s claims about information loss and not the evolutionary process itself in this instance i would have liked to include more details on: exactly why evolutionary theory predicts that these processes should be unidirectional which matt seems to think argues against it why some alleles are actually lost from these populations by processes such as genetic drift and how new ones ie information arise including numerous new mutations in extant dog breeds to provide new variation for selection to act onthe video i039m responding to quotthelivingdinosaur gets fossilizedquot can be found at:http:wwwyoutubecomwatchv=x4ppi1bglw8also thanks to everyone who took the time to give me their opinion on my animation style the majority of you were happy with it but a significant number suggested that maybe the number of images could be reduced a little i039ve tried to do that here by slowing down the speed of the images so they stay on screen for longer this obviously means less images and potential puns but on the up side it also speeds things up for me so the video takes less time to make anyway feel free to let me know if this makes things better or worse whether you can039t tell the difference or don039t give a tossfinally i039m serving on jury duty for the whole of next month and i039m not sure how balancing that with work and home will eat into my spare time so it might be up to a couple of months before you see a new video on this channel so be patient and as always thanks for your support and stay tunedthe youtubers i recommened in the video are:http:wwwyoutubecommichaelpayton67http:wwwyoutubecomdasamericanatheisthttp:wwwyoutubecomtheoreticalbullshithttp:wwwyoutubecomprofmthhttp:wwwyoutubecomitsthesuperflyif you039re somehow unaware of any of these amazing video makers then you really should check them out - oh and do let them know who sent you if you decide to subscribetheoretical bullshit039s videos on morality highly recommended:http:wwwyoutubecomwatchv=dwnw-nxeudkhttp:wwwyoutubecomwatchv=-rqkskhzrcchttp:wwwyoutubecomwatchv=-rqkskhzrccfinally the paper on the in silico simulation of the evolution of information and a java applet of the program you can play with by yourself can be found at:http:alummiteduwwwtomspapersevindexhtmlmusic: antonio vivaldi 01 flute concerto in g major flute no 15 concerto for orchestra in c major fxi no 25 concerto for orchestra in d minor fxii no 31

Bookmarked 776 weeks ago
chaos theory has a bad name conjuring up images of unpredictable weather economic crashes and science gone wrong but there is a fascinating and hidden side to chaos one that scientists are only now beginning to understandit turns out that chaos theory answers a question that mankind has asked for millennia - how did we get herein this documentary professor jim al-khalili sets out to uncover one of the great mysteries of science - how does a universe that starts off as dust end up with intelligent life how does order emerge from disorderit039s a mind bending counter intuitive and for many people a deeply troubling idea but professor al-khalili reveals the science behind much of beauty and structure in the natural world and discovers that far from it being magic or an act of god it is in fact an intrinsic part of the laws of physics amazingly it turns out that the mathematics of chaos can explain how and why the universe creates exquisite order and patternand the best thing is that one doesn039t need to be a scientist to understand it the natural world is full of awe-inspiring examples of the way nature transforms simplicity into complexity from trees to clouds to humans - after watching this film you039ll never be able to look at the world in the same way againthis video uses copyrighted material in a manner that does not require approval of the copyright holder it is a fair use under copyright lawcopyright disclaimer under section 107 of the copyright act 1976 allowance is made for fair use for purposes such as criticism comment news reporting teaching scholarship and research fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing non-profit educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair usethe media material presented in this production is protected by the fair use clause of the us copyright act of 1976 which allows for the rebroadcast of copyrighted materials for the purposes of commentary criticism and education
