"I want to show a snippet of an interview that Timothy Snyder had with Katie Couric the other day.

Snyder is a prominent American historian and Yale University professor and he specializes in central and Eastern European history, the Holocaust, and especially modern authoritarianism.

But a couple friends of the channel mentioned a specific statement of his during this interview in which he said that Donald Trump is "fighting with God."

Here's that short clip and I have a link to the entire interview down below pinned to the top of the comments. It's a very interesting interview and I highly recommend you take the time to watch it if you're able to.

The Trouble With "The Big Bang"

That we have no evidence for (or against) the Big Bang Event is the reason why physicists have a large number of different hypotheses for the beginning of our universe.

Besides the Big Bang Event, our universe could have been born out of a black hole; or it could have come about in a collision of higher-dimensional membranes; or it could have started as a big network in a non-geometric phase; or our universe could cycle through eons, as Roger Penrose has proposed.

The most popular idea now is that our universe was born out of a fluctuation in a quantum field. All these alternative ideas to the Big Bang Event are possible because we cannot look back in time far enough to tell them apart.

"The bombshell results that demand a new theory of the universe

Last year, our most detailed map of the universe yet suggested our understanding of dark energy has been wrong for decades. The shock result is reigniting the search for a better cosmic story"

"What's the Matter?

Are we consciousness? Are we matter? Are we conscious matter? As "facts" of physics blow apart our comfortable notions of what is "real" we are all exposed to a much broader interpretation of who we are and the limits that constrain us. Hold onto your hat because a quantum wind is blowing!"
