Curt Jaimungal The Trinidad-born director-cum-podcaster Curl Jaimungal got passionate about filmmaking while studying mathematical physics (no less!) at the University of Toronto; he was one of the founders of a popular campus screenwriting club. His directorial debut occured at the ripe old age of 26. "I’m Okay" is a dramedy about depression, suicidal thoughts, and getting over a hard break-up. Working on the movie was a chance for Curl to learn more than just the tricks of the trade; he became deeply interested in such fields as psychology and philosophy. In fact, in the wake of the film's release, he founded a film incubator in Toronto where filmmakers can, among other things, get help in overcoming psychological problems related to the process of creating a movie. Continuing with this unique mission, Curt now hosts his own podcast, which also deals with different fields' philosophical underpinnings. Listen to him and his guests right here on Padverb!

Curt Jaimungal & Stephen Wolfram 16 Sep 2025 • EN

Stephen Wolfram: Computation, Physics, Going Beyond "Evolution"

In this episode Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica and the Wolfram Language, discusses his view of the universe as a computational system. We examine computational irreducibility, discrete space, multi‑way evolution, and how observers shape physical laws from thermodynamics to quantum mechanics. Wolfram also conne

MIT physicist Max Tegmark argues that artificial intelligence belongs inside physics and that consciousness will be the next frontier. He distinguishes intelligence from subjective experience, outlines falsifiable experiments with brain‑reading technology, and shows how concepts like Hopfield energy landscapes and mech

Julian Barbour: When Physics Gets Rid of Time and Quantum Theory

In this episode physicist Julian Barbour argues that time is an illusion and that quantum mechanics may be replaced by a theory based on relational ratios. He explores how entropy, consciousness, and the structure of the universe can be understood without fundamental time or wave functions.- 00:00 - Introduction- 01:35
