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
Max Tegmark: Physics Absorbed Artificial Intelligence & (Maybe) Consciousness
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
Eric Weinstein: Geometric Unity - 40 Years in the Making
In this rare, unscripted conversation Eric Weinstein reveals the core of his Geometric Unity theory, discussing dark matter, missing generations, peer review, and the potential impact of GU. He also explores philosophical implications, quantum‑classical relationships, and the challenges of communicating his ideas.- 00:
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
Economist Robin Hanson explores the provocative idea that an advanced extraterrestrial civilization may be subtly monitoring Earth, either as caretakers or as part of a long‑running experiment. The conversation also examines academic funding, peer review, and the challenges facing modern scholarship.- 00:00 - Introduct
Michael Levin: Hacking Life's Code: The Future of Bioelectric Medicine
Dr. Michael Levin explains how bioelectric signals govern cell communication, tissue regeneration, and intelligence across biology, and how decoding these electrical memories could enable limb regrowth, cancer suppression, and the creation of novel organs.- 00:00 - Introduction- 02:45 - The Role of Bioelectricity in Me
