Stephen Wolfram: Black Holes, Infinity, and Computational Reality

Stephen Wolfram: Black Holes, Infinity, and Computational Reality

Stephen Wolfram dives deep into his Wolfram Physics project, tackling causal graphs, computational equivalence, and the nature of consciousness while also debating alien communication and the reality of infinity. He shares his perspectives on cryptocurrencies, black holes, and how to build a personal Theory of Everything.- 00:00:00 - Introduction- 00:02:26 - Behind the scenes- 00:04:00 - Critiques of Wolfram (unread papers)- 00:10:39 - Wolfram Model overview- 00:29:35 - Causal vs multiway graph- 00:39:42 - Global confluence & causal invariance- 00:44:06 - Rulial space- 00:49:05 - Build your own TOE- 00:54:00 - Computational reducibility- 00:59:14 - Communicating with aliens- 01:06:06 - Extraterrestrials everywhere- 01:10:03 - Universe consciousness & intelligence- 01:13:03 - Do photons experience time?- 01:15:07 - Speed of light in rulial space- 01:16:37 - Principle of computational equivalence- 01:21:13 - Irreducibility vs undecidability- 01:23:47 - Is infinity real?- 01:28:08 - Discrete vs continuous space- 01:33:40 - Testing discrete space with CMB- 01:34:35 - Multiple dimensions of time- 01:36:12 - Defining beauty in math- 01:37:29 - Particles as black holes in branchial space- 01:39:44 - New Feynman stories- 01:43:52 - Holographic principle & AdS/CFT- 01:46:38 - Wolfram on cryptocurrencies- 01:57:38 - Einstein equations in economics- 02:03:04 - Revolutionizing a field as a beginner- 02:04:50 - Bonus thoughts and questionsSPONSORS:- Brilliant: 20% off at https://brilliant.org/TOE- Algo.com: supply chain AI at http://algo.comRESOURCES:- YouTube link: https://youtu.be/1sXrRc3Bhrs- Link to the Wolfram project: https://www.wolframphysics.org/- Patreon for conversations on Theories of Everything, Consciousness, Free Will, and God: https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal- Crypto (anonymous): 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- Better Left Unsaid documentary: http://betterleftunsaidfilm.com Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal features long-form, technically detailed interviews with leading researchers in physics, mathematics, consciousness, and philosophy, exploring topics at the level of active research.
