What we still don't know

This is a brilliant 3 part series that I missed most of a few years ago and wasn't able to find it on the internet back then. I watched the one "are we real' and it was so fascinating, it really makes you think. This is probably one of the best documentaries I've seen on these topics. Here are the three videos... The philosophical questions in these are brilliant.

The kind of questions in this videos are the ones I hope to see answered at some point in the future, and is part of the reason why I do calorie restriction and why I want to live forever. It is just so fascinating to me and provides me with a strong purpose to do CR, and is reason for my success in sticking to it. Rather than just to 'lose weight' which for most people is a short term goal. If you have a very good purpose in why you want to do CR, you will stick to it. For me, living to see the emergence of post humans, detection of other civilizations and colonization of the galaxies, to see how the world and technology evolves are good reasons to stick around. These reasons among others are why eating unhealthy will NEVER happen ever again until we have a good control over human health using advanced biotech and nanotech. Also the fact that being dead for eternity, non existence, doesn't really comfort me... even though I didn't exist for around 14 billion years anyway... Stay alive for as long as possible.

Episode 2: Why are we here?
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’.

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.
