Seeing Further: Searching for the Echoes of Creation
Nobel Laureate John Mather joins Brian Greene for an in-depth discussion of evidence establishing the big bang as well as recent observations of the James Webb Space Telescope raising questions for this very theory of cosmic creation.
Mather delivered this year's "On the Shoulders of Giants" address, honoring the generations of groundbreaking scientists furthering Newton's observation that “If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” With this discussion, the World Science Festival invites audiences to stand on the shoulders of a modern-day giant, John Mather.
This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation.

I’m a 65yr old man who had a stroke 2 yrs ago and has been diagnosed with Vascular dementia. Although I have never had any science education as such, I am totally addicted to this channel. The WSF is an amazing help to my recovery, by educating and explaining these topics in an a way that communicates the principles in a brilliant easy to understand way. Kudos to Brian Greene and the team 👏👏
Good luck to you...stay positive❤😊❤
@@amandabriggs6880 thank you💕
Just finished listening to this episode, and once again you nailed it! These outreach discussions are totally fascinating they simply tick all the right boxes!❤
I have enjoyed listening to WSF for months now. I even put on my bluetooth earbuds and let it teach me until I fall asleep. I have always loved science, wanted to be a biologist at one time! I took all science except physics…shame on me….here I can play catch up from that silly mistake long ago! Enjoy science its Gods mastery, the more we learn the better we are!!!
God bless you.
WSF forever!!! ... EVERY JWST image to me is worth the entire cost of the project! Absolutely extraordinary! One of the most incredible machines humanity has ever constructed! Thank you John Mather sir and thank you Brian Greene!!!
@@Willful.MysticCompelling stuff lol
Yes!
Greene is a genius at interviewing. All the right questions and not a single unnecessary word. What a goldmine of information Mather is. All of his answers were interesting and clearly expressed. What an exciting life he has been living. Big puzzle: why not a Nobel prize for adaptive optics? I would never have guessed it would work.
Awesome guest. It is becoming rarer and rarer for people to actually listen to questions and directly answer them. So many use any question as an excuse to just start talking about what they want. As usual Green asks the right questions to get answers that intend to fill the gaps between what a knowledgeable audience know and what is realistically understandable.
It's become so rare that it's almost off-putting when someone doesn't try to dodge a question.
Why all the boot lickin'?
John Mather is one of the best science communicators I've heard. I could not find many videos on KZhead that he has done but he sure is a treasure!
Why all the boot lickin'?
I’m looking forward to watching the talk amongst Edward Witten, David Gross, and Andrew Strominger. I attended live, looking very much forward to seeing it again.
When and where does this take place?
@@benjaminbeard3736 The in person event had already happened. It was on the 23rd of September. And the discussion will be posted on KZhead. I just don’t know when
@@Daniel_ElegantUniverse excellent, thanks man.
@@Daniel_ElegantUniverse Unifying Nature's Laws has landed but i guess you already knew that - must have been wonderful to attend live
@@Flailfist_Jr Yeah, wonderful experience it was to be there in-person.
love all my science loving Sistas and Bro´s 😍 greetings from Germany 😘
One of the best interviews by Brian Greene!
Why all the boot lickin'?
@@250txc Third time you launched this question; maybe it will be the "charm". Not likely because I doubt you understand just how good this is, IMHO.
Wow. Brian you were so comfortable in that conversation, just like you would do a conversation on family dinner table. I think John would appreciate that. So natural, not like a formal interview, just normal talk between two very intelligent gifted scientists. I loved it. Thank you so much. ❤
Imagine Musk stumbling his way through these sorts of questions as he tries to justify the Starship program,.. lol. Note this is what a proper engineer sounds like
All that was missing was a pint of cosmic beer for each of them. Such a relaxed conversation with a mound of interesting information. Both asking questions, both answering questions, just like friends. Great conversation Brian and John, keep up the great work.
Intelligence with Style...you go Dr. Greene! *Looking Smart in that black!!!*
@@Willful.Mystiche makes science popular
The "Just Do It" generation. Thank you Sir, and all the people involved in getting this done.
What a wonderfully humble, friendly, and clear example of a scientist. Terrific interview.
Brian you killed it. Mr. Mather, you are the best, we need a hundred, no a THOUSAND more people like you in this world. Great interview, World Science Festival is crushing the game right now with top-notch content, guaranteed to keep all of our active minds mesmerized, enchanted, positively spellbound with science. Keep it coming Mr. Greene, kind sir!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why all the boot lickin'?
Or its just my actual feelings about something. Jeez
Brilliant, brilliant discussion I like most for stimulating my brain. Kudos to all these scientists.
It's been some time since I caught a premiere im excited
wow... the interviewer, the interviewee, the backdrop with pics, the topics... thats like one of the best interviews ever :-D love WSF and BG
I'm impressed with John's attitude, I imagine he inspires confidence in others.
John Mather is truly a gift to the human race. Brilliant, selfless and relenting in his pursuit of knowledge. What a great interview.
Why all the boot lickin'?
That is not 'bootlicking' is is a compliment to a truly gifted individual. I am guessing that you think you are smarter than him and will try to show it with some 'brilliant insight' that you have that contradicts the experts.@@250txc
Thank you both very much for sharing those conversation, John sounds like an interesting character, and a little stubborn, he was able to see his dreams realized in his lifetime, and have a place in the future, not bad young fella, thank you both again John and Brian, peace
His tie is my desktop background!! Love that image!
Would love to know what they have to say about the more recent theories regarding life possibly being intrinsic to the universe
Thank you for bringing such interesting topics understandable & alive for us. Brilliant Great Men, Thank you
@@Willful.MysticI will encourage you to choose to honor your name Willful.mystic. The last thing humanity needs is more division and negative disrespect for Honorable men in our society let's raise the conscious awareness of ourselves first and set an example. Let's be the change we desire to see in the world .. Love and Peace
This was so easy to watch. Really wonderfull experience for us internet astronomers. Thanks so much for this one John and Brian!!!
Brian your nudges make your interviewees connect well with your wide ranged audience.
Great discussion, large contributions all start with ideas and persistence!
So pleased that all the hard work has paid off and is continuing to pay off for those who worked on JWST.
Beautiful chat, very informative, right to the point, yet modest and well grounded without fake fireworks, just amazing! One of the best from Brian's sci series!
Why all the boot lickin'?
These are the people we must celebrate. Thank you for your life's work John and thank you Brian for spreading science to the peoples, with more Brians instead of all the agents of bigotry superstition and division on this planet we would ve already been an interplanetary species. Excellent video, thank you!
Great discussion! Thanks John and Brian.
Fascinating and thank you all for this informative and entertaining episode.
Wow! I’ve watched two presentations now, and there hasn’t been a word of politics or propaganda!
Wonderful discussão, thank you, WSF.
I like the stage setting with the big screen , that's pretty cool
Love how this channel speaks with real scientists instead of all these youtube channels that are click bait based on no science
Science is the best for humanity. If we survive all our madness
An interview like this within the Las Vegas Sphere would be beyond insane ^
Of course I had heard before about the cmb and no one on the planet could miss the Webb. I never knew before the role of this man in all of that. Genius.
Did the live show with Sean Caroll at the recent world science festival get uploaded to KZhead, looking forward to watching that.
Yes!!!!!!! It was fantastic. Brv
Super interview, thanks for hosting and uploading!
Shows like this, StarTalk, and Cool Worlds are how people learn! 👌
What a beautiful, inspiring conversation. Thank you, WSF.
One word for this podcast and series: Beautiful.
When someone really understands what they're talking about, they can present it is terms anyone can understand. That's the case here. Two very brilliant scientists.
I loved this interview! Thanks for creating such amazing contents for the world
Why all the boot lickin'?
Wow 52:30, 👀JWST launch practice utilized a 'digital twin' computer simulation of outer space, like a 🌌holodeck 🌌
Damn, I love this channel. Awesome interview, Brian.
Thank you John, and Brian... for such an exciting adventure into the realms of just what becomes possible when you know that is is possible, then never give up. Just like farming. Well done!
Why all the boot lickin'?
quality boots. @@250txc
Outstanding 🎉😊❤
What a valuble piece of gistory this was. John c. Mathur. Man let his health be solid for years to come. Planet earth loves you sir. Thank you for your service to all of humanity and may many more like yourself rise up to keep pushing us forward . Damn this was amazing!!!!
Thank you both
I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see the live WSF events back in action. I have a ton of Nostalgia for 2016 when I really picked up my love for physics again, and have been nerding out on ever since
Why all the boot lickin'?
@@250txc I got something you can lick, chump
Just amazing, thank you and looking forward to more.
Always a pleasure to listen to your channel. I learn a lot and appreciate the way it's done (bienveillance in French but can't translate it) one of my best channel M. Green so thanks to you and your team for upgrading my knowlege with kindness and in a way i find it interesting, warm, easy to understand. Thank you to all of you
Scientists have some of the best ties. 😊
Fascinating
THIS CHANNEL IS ONE OF THE BEST
As a person remembering younger version of Brian Greene, I feel sad that we all get old and eventually cease to exist.
Stories like this one make me proud to be human. Science is the best antidote to politics.
My biggest Alas in future would be if I die and don't see discovery of life in another world. A huge thanks to WSF which excites us about we have learnt so far and where we are going to observe in future.
New Balance sneakers should sign John Mather for their commercials. He's a rock star!
I am from Bangladesh. Anyone feel at ease knowing the discussed things here?
Entropy is a spectrum. Highest entropy is the final disorder which includes the infinite complexity and infinite symmetry. The transition between the two is the arrow of time. Infinite complexity is finite. If I may use the analogy of, when an unstoppable force (time) collides with immovable object (singularity), we observe to the best we can, a Big Bang (White Hole) erupting its content into time from infinite symmetry restarting the cycle towards infinite complexity.
Nicely said... you kinda sound like AI...lol
@@chrisshelton7545 God really help us then. I’m very corruptible I’m told
Yeah time has come to the point we can't say if a comment is manmade or A.I. made.!!!😮
Folks. I took the battery out of my watch and i stopped time. It would seem that time is not an unstoppable force.
@@patrickaycock3655 So you still had a battery in your cell phone, did you take a picture of your watch as evidence?
"Delightful conversation and I look forward to more." Me too.
Besides the miss directed Kennedy quote. I loved every second, great information like ever thing released through WSF!
Fascinating discussion.
Thanks for this 🙏
Fantastic conversation? .very nesesry to know thankyou❤
I'm looking forward to: "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Nima Arkani" one day
that would be a shtfest as in shtting all over everyone's careers
This interview is brilliant. I simply can't figure out if they are ignoring the screen or if it was edited in afterwards. I'm kinda leaning to afterwards because Images appear just before he mentions the person or the item coming up in the background.
THANK YOU...!!!
15:56 very interesting insight provided here on Ralph Alpher
Brilliant discussion.
Brian and John would you agree that the experimental physics is quite due it's quantum leap forward as has been done in the think tanks of mathematics and the magic of error correction coding or do you feel a generation will have to re-write the definition of gravity altogether to birth unified field theory and all the perks of keeping coherent quantum computing?
I agree programming bias is a brick wall
Amazing episode 💥🤓
Thank you Brian You are my hero
Very informative discussion, I have a question: the images of stars and galaxies we see through JWST today are of very distant past? How those stars and galaxies look today, do they exist or not we don’t know!
Ralph Alpher enjoying his coffee this morning ☀️.
Brian Greene and John Mather are spectacularly good in conversation together and such brilliant scientists and great men ..it made me a little sad to hear John Mather say the scientific life of JWST will be longer than they expected and perhaps as long as twenty years and it is more than likely that he may not be around by then ..tragedy that such amazing human beings have to die we coukd do with people like him sticking around and Brain Greens of course ..great great men
Wow wow wow!
the more we learn only reveals how little we actually know.
thx brianzor
Amazing UAPs aren't discussed, imagine how much more we'd know. ❤
Fantastic.
John is an inspiration
Wasn’t George Gamow prediction with 3° close to the measurement?
That is some serious tie‼️
Surprising. Let's look for some more beyond the universe.
One possible explanation that would explain the Asymmetry would be if the BB was result of the collision between two pre-existing Universes one being comprised entirely of Normal matter and the other entirely Anti-Matter in which there were fewer Anti-Matter Particles Than there were in the NM Universe. So since the The fact that there was less AM Particles in the AM Universe than there were NM Particles in the NM Universe would explain the Asymmetry we see today giving rise to the disappearance of the AM. B
Really want to know if the first pic at beginning is a real pic of some part of space as if it's is that pic proves we are not alone in universe
If life ain't out there :it's an "awful waste of space", I for one believe the universe is richer than our imagination.
I notice that tie, I want that😮
"Because They Are Hard". Remminds me if big mountain riding when I was boarding hard.
Wow
They should license and sell a public version 9f this WJST simulator. Space nerds will buy it .
Do they have a green screen or an actual display behind them? Surely green screen right.
I hope they reconvene to discuss the black galaxies announced yesterday
💖💖💖
Is it possible that we're seeing so far back in spacetime that we're actually looking back at ourselves from behind? Maybe the universe is curved around on itself, and because of it's immense size that we can't perceive the curvature? The way the Earth seems flat from the surface.
Can someone explain to me how the universe can have a finite age and yet be infinite in size? Thanks.
