Plasma Expained: Prof. Robert Temple | Mysteries of the Universe And The 4th State Of Matter

This was great, the professor made me chuckle. And i loved how he lit you up Sara, you had a smile like a child at Christmas, what a delight ❤️

Hi Sara! 🙂 Great Video! I remember you said Dr Lazlo Boros is gonna be on the Podcast soon again, could you maybe ask him what his take is on Healing via Seawater? Lot of People (especially Darko Velcek) preach that water with sea salt detoxes your whole body, but from a Deuterium perspective it doesnt make sense. I would appreciate it so much! 🙂 Much love <3

Excellent discussiion, such a fascinating topic🐸thank you for another brilliant, thought provoking speaker❤️

Fantastic Sarah appreciate all that you do. Looking forward to the rest of the 3 hour conversation and your future guests.

A very good start !! but …….

‘Information’ – what exactly is ‘information’ !!????? …… and where & how does it fit into the greater scheme of things….. ??

However surprisingly, few if any persons (expert & lay alike) appear to know that currently a properly scientifically/mathematically rigorous identity & definition of ‘information’ simply does not exist. Equally absent is a full science of the phenomenon.

As ‘information’ turns out to be not only a distinct phenomenon in its own right but also an eminently identifiable/definable/observable/measurable one, no especial difficulty attends the exercise of showing that it is both an integral & ubiquitous feature/aspect/property of our universe, while in the current woeful absence of our understanding thereof at this basic & all encompassing level virtually everything else – time, space, matter, energy, life, agency, autopoiesis & the self (to far less than exhaust the list) – remains at best incomplete, & not infrequently in no uncertain (provable) error. (‘Life, the universe & everything’ !)

Currently, one of our more egregious errors is to imagine that ‘bits’, bytes & digits are units, or ensembles, of information, & that all mental, psychic, mindful, perceptual, conceptual phenomena such as ‘thought’, ‘mind’, ‘intelligence’, ‘cognition’, ‘understanding’ & ‘consciousness’ (etc) are computationally tractable.

Not so. Once ‘information’ is correctly identified & defined it becomes eminently clear that bits & digits are not information & that however computationally proficient they may be, no ‘bit-using’ machine, system or device (no matter how numerous, large, fast, powerful & globally interconnected) can actually think let alone do so either intelligently or consciously, nor with slightest modicum of understanding. Indeed computers (& calculators, etc) turn out to be nothing more than massively ramped up, super charged, electronically automated abacuses – coloured beads-on-strings counting devices. Devices which programmed to do so can only add & subtract, multiply & divide.

‘Thought’, ‘mind’, ‘intelligence’, ‘cognition’, ‘understanding’ & ‘consciousness’ are all information-related phenomena and it is not difficult to show that one of the principal reasons we have not so far come to any good, proper & fully verifiable understanding of these otherwise greatly sought-after yet still highly mysterious phenomena is due in great part to the simple fact that we do not presently also have a good & proper, fully verifiable understanding of  ‘information’  itself.

And the manner in which both information itself & all of the phenomena closely related thereto differ from mere counting & calculating.

Although I have personally had the (dubious) fortune of having been able to determine ‘information’s’ correct (& fully verifiable) ontological identity – plus a full science of the phenomenon to boot – and although I’m not going to divulge its properly scientific definition here in this YouTube comment in strictly formalistic/scientific terms (without which formalistic definition it is not possible to establish a full & accurate science of the phenomenon, but with it it is) nevertheless I can assure you that with it in hand – that is, with ‘information’s’ correct ontological identity within one’s investigative arsenal (along with a full science thereof also) even at an informal level, the exercise of determining – of verifiably determining – the ontological identities of all of the other directly information-related phenomena such as ‘thought’, ‘mind’, ‘cognition’, ‘intelligence’, ‘learning’, ‘understanding’, ‘sentience’, ‘consciousness’ & ‘self-consciousness’ (to far less than exhaust the list) (along with an accompanying science of each also), becomes one of no great difficulty.

A full science of any one particular phenomenon will include understandings, specifications & quantifications of such things as the phenomenon’s nature (its ontological identity), its standing (its place within the existential hierarchy), its role, function, varieties, distribution, incidences, properties/extensions/capacities/capabilities, causal efficacy, usages, handling &/or operational amenabilities, & its typical life history (its inception/creation through to its dissolution/erasure).

Again once ‘information’s’ correct ontological identity is recognised & established along with a full science thereof, much urgently needed clarification obtains for pretty much everything else ….

Cheers.

ball lightening apparently are connected to the Crop Circles phenomenon

Excellent presentation.

It's about time!
I was getting the Jones for another Pugh Presentation!
Always fascinating and informative!
