E24 Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing?
<p>Today, most scientists agree that the universe began with the "Big Bang". But why did the Big Bang occur in the first place? What gave rise to the conditions required for the Big Bang to kickstart our universe? Why is there something rather than nothing?</p> <p>When compared with the possibility of a silent, empty, nothingness, the existence of a universe as rich and expansive as ours seems staggering. Surely it would have been much simpler for there to have just been nothingness.</p> <p>In this episode, we'll look at the best theories put forward by scientists, religious thinkers, and philosophers, as to why anything exists at all.</p> <p>Like the show on Facebook: <a href="url" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/searchingforitpodcast</a></p> <p>Follow the show on Instagram: <a href="url" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/searchingforitpodcast</a></p> <p>Follow Lewis on Twitter: <a href="url" rel="nofollow">https://www.twitter.com/99lewiswilliams</a></p> <p>Support the show: <a href="url" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/searchingforit</a></p> <p>Find out more at <a href="http://www.searchingforit.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.searchingforit.org</a></p>

E23 GUEST: Sam Rickless on Philosophy and the Meaning of Life
<p>Sam Rickless is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, San Diego, where he’s created a brand new course entitled ‘The Meaning of Life’. In many ways, Sam's course gets right to the heart of what Searching For It is all about: Sam teaches his students about Schopenhauer, Sartre, Buddhist philosophy, and much more.</p> <p>In this episode, Sam and I will discuss the lessons he's learned from thinking about the meaning of life, the results of his students' "experiments in living", as well as his thoughts on Camus, Nagel, and Wolf.</p> <p>Like the show on Facebook: <a href="url" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/searchingforitpodcast</a></p> <p>Follow the show on Instagram: <a href="url" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/searchingforitpodcast</a></p> <p>Follow Lewis on Twitter: <a href="url" rel="nofollow">https://www.twitter.com/99lewiswilliams</a></p> <p>Support the show: <a href="url" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/searchingforit</a></p> <p>Find out more at <a href="http://www.searchingforit.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.searchingforit.org</a></p>
