AdamHOST
... was there actually.
AdamHOST
Um, it was Lawrence Krauss, and a- I went with him, and I...
AdamHOST
As soon as our plane was landing, he checks his phone, and he's like, "Lawrence Krauss' sexual misconduct allegations?" And so then [laughs] they-
JakeHOST
Oh, shit
AdamHOST
... continued the event without him, and we just, like, went and hung out with some people at a bar [laughs] and then left the next morning.
speaker_18NARRATOR
Epstein wasn't just collecting scientists, he was collecting visionaries who could reshape the future of humans.
speaker_18NARRATOR
Lawrence Krauss was like the public defender, a famous theoretical physicist who literally said, quote, "I never saw Epstein do anything wrong." This was after Epstein's 2008 conviction too.
speaker_18NARRATOR
Krauss wasn't just connected, he was also useful.
speaker_18NARRATOR
He gave Epstein public credibility in the scientific world.
Piers MorganHOST
Hmm.
Stephen C. MeyerGUEST
You may remember another one of the new atheists was Richard, or sorry, uh, Lawrence Krauss.
Piers MorganHOST
Yeah.
Stephen C. MeyerGUEST
His book was called Universe from Nothing.
24 MINS LATER
Piers MorganHOST
Yeah
Stephen C. MeyerGUEST
... quantum cosmology.
Stephen C. MeyerGUEST
It was the, the title of, of Lawrence Krauss' book.
Stephen C. MeyerGUEST
That is an a- implicit affirmation that the universe had a beginning, and there are multiple im- lines of observational astronomy that point in that direction, and the theoretical physics also points in that direction.
Jimmy AkinHOST
And even, even when you have people like, um, um, I don't wanna say his name wrong, so I won't say it, but you've had proposals ...
Jimmy AkinHOST
I wanna say Lawrence Krauss, who proposed- Oh ... like a universe from nothing.
Jimmy AkinHOST
Yeah.
Jimmy AkinHOST
When you, it, carefully investigate what he means by nothing, it's not nothing.
Peter BoghossianHOST
We've seen that.
Peter BoghossianHOST
Jan van der Beek's research, Lawrence Krauss' research, KRAUS.
Martin SellnerGUEST
This means that being in Germany has a de-assimilation effect and not an assimilation effect.
Martin SellnerGUEST
There are a lot of factors for that.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Epstein hosted dinner parties for world-famous scientists and thinkers from around the globe.
Bobby CapucciHOST
People like Steven Pinker, Stephen Jay Gould, Martin Nowak, Lawrence Krauss, and Marvin Minsky.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Jeffrey didn't know anything about science, Pavar said.
Bobby CapucciHOST
He would say, oh, what is gravity? Which, of course, is an unanswerable thing to present at a dinner to a bunch of scientists.
Jamie FranklinHOST
So that's the main problem I have with Dawkins' treatment of Christianity and religion, as he says, is that he doesn't actually seem to understand this.
Jamie FranklinHOST
And this is also true when it comes to, um, his talking about, uh, Lawrence Krauss' book, A Universe From Nothing.
Jamie FranklinHOST
Because in that book, A Universe From Nothing, uh, Lawrence Krauss redefines the word nothing so that it means something, right? So it means something which has some kind of causal property.
Jamie FranklinHOST
Indeed, quite a significant causal property or causal capacity because it would ha- Krauss is talking about whatever it was, a quantum vacuum or something like that, which, um, created the universe.
Jamie FranklinHOST
So if something has the capacity to create the universe or to bring about the universe or something like that, it's not nothing.
Smith K. SteadGUEST
No, no, you're all good.
ClooneyHOST
So before we get too deep into the, the viscera of your piece, um, I was thinking maybe a sensible place to begin would be to have you lay out some of your other research into Epstein's connections to Aotearoa and Kiwis, uh, some of what you know about Lawrence Krauss, the property managers at Zorro.
ClooneyHOST
We, we could talk about them a little bit.
ClooneyHOST
Bryce and Karen Gordon and, and then also, uh, latterly Little Saint James.
Smith K. SteadGUEST
Um, but since his death, uh, they've completely disappeared off the face of the earth.
ClooneyHOST
Right.
Smith K. SteadGUEST
Um, and so yeah, Lawrence Krauss, um, you know, he was one of E- Epstein's kind of long-term, uh, associates.
Smith K. SteadGUEST
I, I don't know if Epstein would call them friends, [laughs] because he seems like a pretty annoying guy, honestly.
Jake HuffakerHOST
It's funny, actually.
Jake HuffakerHOST
Lawrence Krauss, um...
Jake HuffakerHOST
Actually, I, I don't know for certain it's Lawrence Krauss, but certainly Joe Rogan will at- attest to the fact that somebody tried to get him to have Jeffrey Epstein on the show before he was arrested.
Michael CampanellaHOST
Really?
Jake HuffakerHOST
And he looked into his background and was like, "The guy who was, like, a pedophile and did those?"
Bobby CapucciHOST
Minsky was one of a number of prominent scientists with ties to Jeffrey Epstein, who often called him a science philanthropist and donated to research projects and academic institutions.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Many of those scientists were affiliated with Harvard, including physicist Lawrence Krauss, geneticist George Church, and cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Funny they mention George Church, considering he's working on a CIA-led back project to bring a woolly mammoth back to life.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Sounds like fun.
