I always enjoy hearing about or reading theories concerning the universe, existence and topics such as time travel. Here are some video interviews with Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist covering these topics.
Time Travel, Parallel Universes, and Reality
Mini Black Holes and the Large Hadron Collider
Teleportation
Mind Reading and Physics
Will we ever be a galactic civilization?
Michio Kaku - is an American theoretical physicist, specializing in string field theory, and a futurist. He is a popularizer of science, host of two radio programs, and a best-selling author.

There's always a person that asks multiple tangent questions like the interviewer. A huge part of being a metaphysicistt is choosing the right words too keep everyone's mind on track...
Explaining to people what god is, is like trying to read their mind and regurgitate a powerful feeling through words. Only the people that tap deeply into their own mind are able to connect to others with less effort. English; or words in particular are really just poor way to communicate and I'm sure of it. Hence we wouldn't have wars on differences etc. Music can do this much better- visual art as well...
I can easily believe that we all feel the same feelings and religion is a word that pulls a lot of meaning together for an ultimate unerstanding; just like metaphysics.
Word choice really is so important- it's a matter of 11 billion dollar experiments.

It would be helpful if science could become a bit more evangelical. Maybe convert all the people who still oppose teaching Darwinism in schools.

Yeah, everyone's life would be easier if we all used the same vernacular stye of explaining life. Nobody wants to meet halfway with science & religion because the entanglement issues with trying to compare to the way everyone understands is highly difficult. Hence- my hat goes off to both sides in bringing the most people together in like-minded surroundings.
Now... how is this message going to be strong enough to have both sides believe in a merge of meaning?
Like I said- Word choice.

I am really looking forward to the day when these sorts of topics and conversations are more common-sense. And the subtle understanding that they hold as prerequisite is a given.
Like, it finds its way into crystallizing itself into our DNA-- if such a thing is possible-- and the "average" human, with nothing special about him intellectually or spiritually or creatively or expressively or whatever, "gets" it.
Oh, what a great time to live that will be.
