thanks for talking to someone i "know" 🙂 x

You keep saying science doesn't explain the way things are but what about the theory of evolution?

Great talk! Al-Khalili is brilliant and makes a complex subject quite accessible. Thanks!

“Consciousness is an emergent property of the universe!” 🤣🤣🤣 Jim here makes an assumption with no evidence. The universe is an emergent property of consciousness sir.

@cosmicskeptic, I like the fact that you are not angry and you genuinely asking question. Regardless of the position, I've seen people to use occasions like this to attack others as if they know the truth.

❤ thx Alex

Quantums have never be seen. The photoelectric effect? how do you observe the electrons?

The electron being everywhere in the atom or its probability cloud or superposition. Is not being measured. What measured is one position electron.
That measurement is a fact. Why can't science measure superposition. Why only single position. Measurement wins the argument.

Sabine is just German…dont hold it against her😅

Excellent interview. Now I have a new book to buy, lol. And more things to get confused about. It's refreshing to hear a physicist explain complex problems using ordinary language.

What is it these days with ridiculous mic placement?
Oh maybe the lack of good engineers.
Come on ! It’s a conversation.

Has anyone ever said 'shut up and calculate'? I only seem to hear from people who have interpretations.

Could Quantum Mechanics be explained by going back to 1/r², the three dimensional physics of the Inverse Square Law?
Even back to the spherical 4πr² geometry of Huygens’ Principle of 1670 that says: “Every point on a light wave front has the potential for a new spherical 4πr² light wave". Each point on the 2D boundary of the wave front can represent a new moment in time represented by a potential photon ∆E=hf electron interaction or coupling.
Could light photon, electron interactions be forming oscillations continuously transforming potential energy into the kinetic Eₖ=½mv² energy of matter, in the form of electrons, forming our probabilistic uncertain future quantum by quantum, moment by moment?
Such a process of energy exchange would form greater degrees of freedom for statistical entropy forming what we perceive as time.

This discussion further complicated quantum mechanics and quantum physics. Like many worlds, this podcast took up numerous topics, touch and run phenomena. Next time go for one or two related topics, unfolding will work.

You cannot "explain" a conceptual conundrum, even using unfortunately misleadingly ineffectual ANALOGIES (they always "break down") kwontum (sic) m
ekankks (sic) is INTRINSICALLY immune to effective realisation in "so-called" every-day experience, so is it a probability ALWAYS,? or ever a certainty INEVITABLY!? Just wondered…

tldw; No, it still makes no sense at all

Nature is persuasion but not real

See Roger Penrose Orchestrated Reduction

34:54 : The past is what we can see, but not change. The future is what we can change, but not see. And the present is what we can't see and can't change.

This video is brilliant! I absolutely love these topics.

This interview shows how lost most accredited physicists are today.

This discussion doesn’t seem to take account of the possibility that the math of QFT could be like the decimal digits of pi: there are hundreds of formulas for pi, each of which—if it were the only one we were aware of—we would be content to consider as the “cause” of pi’s value. Aren’t these formulas like the interpretations of quantum theory? 14:30

Min 30:19 wasn't that quote by Saint Augustine, and not Aristotle?!?!

From a metaphysical perspective I'd agree with his position of time. Whether time fundamentally has to be temporal is not necessarily obvious. Though, that a forward progression of having affected something in whatever realm such entity finds itself, is more likely than not necessary. Implying that time is likely fundamental to at least our reality.
