Oh, and Ri, since my kids were little, we've been listening to all these wonderful Ri talks, and now they are teenagers, and still like them, as do I

I was asleep and this video appeared on my list and I gave it a Play ... I enjoyed every second and now I can't sleep. I think of everything Mr. Geraint Lewis said ! I learned a lot tonight. Thank you very much !

To everyone who enjoyed this lecture and doesn't know about Geraint Lewis' and Luke Barnes' youtube channel Alas Lewis & Barnes, I'd highly recommend it for anyone interested in cosmology, good stuff!
-
This was so encouraging. Finally I got the assurance that I needed that eventually all my enemies will be dead and I won’t have to ever pay taxes again or listen to politicians give non-answers to the people that they were hired to represent. Ahhhh! Peace at last.
-
I can't get enough of these intellectual conversations, it's the one thing that actually stimulates my mind and gets my neurotransmitters pumping. Thank you guys.
-
This one is so good, my favorite so far. I will actually watch this one more than once.
-
So glad the audience wasn't interrupting Mr. Lewis' presentation. They were actually listening to him and the concepts he presented. The Douglas Adams line was a great thought provoking ending. I loved this presentation and the speaker.
-
Never tire of these talks, Thank you.
-
not just gorgeous ( a real silver fox!), not just gorgeous AND intelligent, not just gorgeous, intelligent AND a superb communicator - but gorgeous, intelligent, a superb communicator, AND Welsh! A quadruple whammy....what a joy to find this series.
-
Why haven't I heard of Lewis before?! This was beautifully clear, nicely constructed and delivered with just the right amount of dry humour. Oh, and I read Black Cloud 50 years ago and hadn't thought about it until last week. Now here it is again. Miraculous.

Being an enthusiast since the age of 6 and now watching this, makes me want to leave my digital marketing job and study cosmology full-time. I wish life were that easy.
-
I'm reminded of the Peter Cook line. "Still, there is hope. I hope this will not happen."
-
I wasn't worried about what I'm what I was going to do ten billion years from now till I watched this show.
-
Brilliant lecture. Thank you RI!
-
I wish my college astronomy class was this informative.
-
So well-spoken and a pleasant conveyance of complicated information, with great graphics.
-
beautifully communicated, I enjoyed this lecture very much!! Thanks to the RI for putting on these lectures, and thank you to Geraint Lewis for a great talk!
-
outstanding lecture. I have learnt so much from this guy in the last hour than I did all the way through school. wow I actually feel more clever than I did an hour ago :)
-
One of the most fascinating and stimulating presentations I have seen. It will be survival of the fittest for sure in the end.
