Series Introduction: Don the headphones, lay back, and take that pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars. Science or Philosophy? Has science won, or is philosophy (as Steven Hawking so bluntly put it)..."dead"? Join us for the inaugural step on our journey to unpick the infinity of 'what is'.   And be sure to check our weekly visualisations at: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley   #metaphysics #science #cosmos #cosmology #philosophy #physics #deepthoughts #theology

Chapter 1: We go day-tripping through the universe, big and small, and start to consider how it all might stack up against infinity. So don the headphones, lay back, and take that pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars.    And be sure to check our weekly visualisations at: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley   #metaphysics #science #cosmos #cosmology #philosophy #physics #deepthoughts #theology

Chapter 2: We begin our unticking of 'Time'. How long has it been, and how much longer can it continue? And how does it all stack up against infinity? Don the headphones, lay back, and take that pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars.  And be sure to check our weekly visualisations at: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley #metaphysics #science #cosmos #cosmology #philosophy #physics #deepthoughts #theology

Welcome to Unfoldings, a subseries designed to support our regular monthly 'Infinite Now' chapters. A chance to enable a deeper reflection upon some of the more nuanced philosophical and scientific concepts and also provides a place for our community to offer their thoughts, insights, and feedback.  This week, we discuss metaphysical frameworks. Whether we know it or not, we all have one. So what is it? Let's see if we can identify yours.    And be sure to check our weekly visualisations at: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley #metaphysics #science #cosmos #cosmology #philosophy #physics #deepthoughts #theology

Chapter 3: We continue our investigation of Time with the help of three greatly influential thinkers and consider how their thinking has shaped the modern understanding of time's beginning and end. So don the headphones, lay back, and take that pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars.    And be sure to check our weekly visualisations at: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley #metaphysics #science #cosmos #cosmology #philosophy #physics #deepthoughts #theology

Chapter 4: Can certain infinities be larger than others? If so, what does that really mean? That's what we shall be asking today as we continue to unfold our understanding of Time. So don the headphones, lay back, and take a pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars.    And be sure to check our weekly visualisations at: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley #metaphysics #science #cosmos #cosmology #philosophy #physics #deepthoughts #theology

Chapter 5: How does physics use infinity? Does it tie us into some grander emptiness, or should infinity be considered an end in itself? And can this help us in our investigation of Time? Don the headphones, lay back, and take that pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars.    And be sure to check our weekly visualisations at: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley #metaphysics #science #cosmos #cosmology #philosophy #physics #deepthoughts #theology

Chapter 6: How are Time and Free Will connected? Does determinism deny both? And what type of universe would allow either to be actual? We're starting to get in the thick of it now - so don the headphones, lay back, and take that pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars.    And be sure to check our weekly visualisations at: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley I want to give special thanks to the Low family for Jim's story and to his nephew, Keith Low, for reading Jim's words.   #metaphysics #science #cosmos #cosmology #philosophy #physics #deepthoughts #theology

Welcome to Unfoldings, a subseries designed to support our regular monthly 'Infinite Now' chapters. Offering a deeper reflection upon some of the more nuanced philosophical and scientific concepts, as well as a place for our community to offer their thoughts, insights, and feedback. This week, we discuss the philosophy of science, the expansion of space, the timeless state of a photon, and the unavoidability of the observer. Enjoy!  And be sure to check our weekly visualisations at: https://linktr.ee/InfiniteNow 0:00 - 0:55 Introduction, 0:55 - 2:41 Observer as Meaning, 2:41 - 7:37 Why is the Universe 90 Billion light-years wide?, 7:37 - 10:26 What is Time for a Photon?, 10:26 - 12:24 Exploring the Observer’s Frame, 12:24 - 14:38 Einstein v Bergson, 14:38 - 16:33 What’s Next? #metaphysics #cosmos #cosmology #philosophy #materialism #idealism #physics #deepthoughts #time dilation #Idealism

Chapter 7: In this episode, we begin our exploration of the self, asking: Is there any physical basis for our idea of self? Where does the thread of life really begin? Body or life, colour or eye, chicken or egg — what came first? Who is the observer? So, don the headphones, lay back, and take that pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars.  And be sure to check our weekly visualisations at: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley #metaphysics #science #cosmos #cosmology #philosophy #physics #deepthoughts #theology #biology #whatcamefirst #chickenortheegg #life #earlylifeonearth #whatisdeath #death #meaningoflife #deepdive

Chapter 8: In this episode, we unfold the pillars of quantum mechanics—from superposition to wave-particle duality—and continue our ongoing inquiry into the physical self. So, don the headphones, lay back, and take that pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars.  And be sure to check our weekly visualisations at: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley #quantum mechanics #quantum physics #physics #metaphysics #science #cosmos #cosmology #philosophy #physics #deepthoughts #theology #biology #whatisdeath #meaningoflife #deepdive #heisenberguncertainty #shroedingerscat

Chapter 9: In this episode, we uncover the history behind mind-body dualism and ponder over the materialism of neuroscience.
