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

Curt Jaimungal sits down with Julian Barbour to examine the claim that time is not fundamental but emerges from change. They discuss shape dynamics, the universe’s increasing order, and how Barbour’s ideas challenge traditional entropy and cosmology.- 00:00 - Introduction- 02:12 - Working Outside of Academia- 03:53 - S

Julian Barbour is the author of the highly regarded The Discovery of Dynamics and the bestseller The End of Time and now, The Janus Point. He received his PhD in physics from the University of Cologne in 1968. He is a past visiting professor of physics at the University of Oxford and lives on the edge of the scenic Cot

Is time what clocks measure, or is it the difference between the shape of two triangles? Explore the answer, and discover: Why Barbour believes the universe is changing shape rather than expanding Why it is important to remember that size is relative What kinematic relativity is, and why it is so essential to Barbour’s
