Scott Aaronson: The Greatest Unsolved Problem in Math

YouTube link https://youtu.be/1ZpGCQoL2Rk  Scott Aaronson joins us to explore quantum computing, complexity theory, Ai, superdeterminism, consciousness, and free will.   TIMESTAMPS: - 00:00:00 Introduction - 00:02:27 Turing universality & computational efficiency - 00:12:35 Does prediction undermine free will? - 00:15:16 Newcomb's paradox - 00:23:05 Quantum information & no-cloning - 00:33:42 Chaos & computational irreducibility - 00:38:33 Brain duplication, Ai, & identity - 00:46:43 Many-worlds, Copenhagen, & Bohm's interpretation   - 01:03:14 Penrose's view on quantum gravity and consciousness - 01:14:46 Superposition explained: misconceptions of quantum computing   - 01:21:33 Wolfram's physics project critique - 01:31:37 P vs NP explained (complexity classes demystified) - 01:53:40 Classical vs quantum computation - 02:03:25 The "pretty hard" problem of consciousness (critiques of IIT)   NOTE: The perspectives expressed by guests don't necessarily mirror my own. There's a versicolored arrangement of people on TOE, each harboring distinct viewpoints, as part of my endeavor to understand the perspectives that exist.   THANK YOU: To Mike Duffy, of https://dailymystic.org for your insight, help, and recommendations on this channel.     - Patreon: https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal (early access to ad-free audio episodes!) - Crypto: https://tinyurl.com/cryptoTOE - PayPal: https://tinyurl.com/paypalTOE - Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOEwithCurt - Discord Invite: https://discord.com/invite/kBcnfNVwqs - iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/better-left-unsaid-with-curt-jaimungal/id1521758802 - Pandora: https://pdora.co/33b9lfP - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gL14b92xAErofYQA7bU4e - Subreddit r/TheoriesOfEverything: https://reddit.com/r/theoriesofeverything - TOE Merch: https://tinyurl.com/TOEmerch   LINKS MENTIONED: - Scott's Blog: https://scottaaronson.blog/ - Newcomb's Paradox (Scott's Blog Post): https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=30 - A New Kind of Science (Stephen Wolfram): https://amzn.to/47BTiaf - Jonathan Gorard's Papers: https://arxiv.org/search/gr-qc?searchtype=author&query=Gorard,+J - Boson Sampling (Alex Arkhipov and Scott Aaronson): https://arxiv.org/abs/1011.3245 - Podcast w/ Tim Maudlin on TOE (Solo): https://youtu.be/fU1bs5o3nss - Podcast w/ Tim Palmer on TOE: https://youtu.be/883R3JlZHXE
