Can Science Give Life Meaning? | Clément Vidal

*Can science provide the meaning traditionally offered by religion?* Clément Vidal explores whether cosmic evolution, human legacy, and even “cosmological immortality” could give our existence a larger purpose. The speculative element is deliberately framed as a possibility rather than a scientific conclusion. Vidal ultimately describes these ideas as his metaphysics and explicitly distinguishes them as a philosophical theory rather than a scientific theory. 0:00 Science and the Search for Meaning 3:41 Meaning in an Uncertain Worldview 5:37 Legacy and Cosmic Evolution 7:21 Cosmological Immortality 10:21 The Ultimate Purpose of the Universe *Dr. Clément Vidal* is a philosopher with a background in logic and cognitive sciences.
