Channel 4 TV – Learning from Dogs

The concluding part – Are We Real?

As I implied when I introduced Part 2 last Thursday, Why Are We Here?, these are deeply interesting films. Do find time to watch them both (Part 1 Are We Alone is here ) if you can. So here is the concluding part, Are We Real? You can either go to it via this link, or watch the YouTube elements below.

There is a fundamental chasm in our understanding of ourselves, the universe, and everything. To solve this, Sir Martin takes us on a mind-boggling journey through multiple universes to post-biological life.

On the way we learn of the disturbing possibility that we could be the product of someone else’s experiment.

I do hope you all found these three films as stimulating and thought-provoking as Jean and I did.

Why Are We Here?

On Tuesday, I introduced the first of three films hosted by Lord Martin Rees. That was called Are We Alone. I do hope many of you were able to watch that. Film two is also from the website Top Documentary Films and the link is here. But, again, the film is available in 5 parts from YouTube and follows below.

In total, just around an hour to watch and well worth while. You will find, believer in God or not, that there are some deeply spiritual aspects to Martin Rees’ wonderful presentation.

Everything you thought you knew about the universe is wrong. It’s made of atoms, right?

Wrong. Atoms only account for a measly 15% of everything that exists!

The mass of the universe consists of something so mysterious and elusive that it has been dubbed ‘dark matter’.
