AfterMath | Our Minds Are Connected According To Math

This is the pilot episode of Edward Frenkel’s new YouTube show/podcast “AfterMath” which will explore revolutionary ideas in mathematics, quantum physics, philosophy, and Jungian psychology, as well as interconnections between these subjects. In this episode, Edward explains in simple and accessible terms – based on mathematics! – that our minds are connected to each other at a much deeper level than is ordinarily understood.

Edward Frenkel is a professor of mathematics at UC Berkeley, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, winner of the Hermann Weyl Prize and the Euler Book Prize, and author of the international bestseller “Love and Math” which has been published in 19 languages.

Coming soon to all other audio steaming platforms!

Your feedback will be very much appreciated, and it will make this podcast so much more interactive. The future starts with questions we never had a chance to ask.

"Mathematics creates a bridge between physical reality and our minds" is probably one of the best ways I've ever heard mathematics defined.

[JDHallsurl]

The older I get, the more I feel an insatiable hunger for these kind of presentations about the fundamental aspects of human consciousness and it's convergence with the hard sciences. Thank you!

[JosephDavies-jb]

Dr. Frenkel, I was once told under a very unusual circumstance by an architect that if he could do it all over again he would have become a mathematician. Looks like I have 2 books to purchase, a podcast to listen to, and a lot of thinking to do… Your spirit and ideas are a blessing to have stumbled upon

[mihaelaulieru]

How fortunate are we to be gifted with the generosity of such a titan who is sharing such precious knowledge, normally available only in the most privileged classrooms of highly respected universities, where one has to pay big bucks to access it... Thank you for gifting us Peofessor ! ❤

[mtrifiro]

I don't know this host, but I liked him instantly. He has a gentle passion for an immense subject that he wants to share with the widest possible audience. Respect.

[joesauvage]

This is just simply a presentation of pure beauty that lies at a very deep unifying level. One cannot study mathematics or physics without being pointed to the deeper questions involving our shared reality and questioning where does mathematics reside. So deeply appreciative of your work and passion to share the insights which we share but are difficult to speak about. Your book, this series, and your work exude beauty, love and truth. Deepest thanks always!

[IvetaWells]

OMG I am cannot believe we are able listen to these fascinating people, this is so beautiful, I love you all

[TommysHandle]

Wow. So happy to find your channel. This first talk is reminiscent of Alfred Korzybski
laying the ground work in his book “Science and sanity” published in 1933. It’s a good place to start by avoiding the confusion of levels of abstraction.

[ravenescu]

Just found your channel. So happy you created it. You're one of my favourite people to listen attentively while having zero background in any topics discussed <3

[jamesfullwood]

As a fellow mathematician you are to me a treasure beyond words.Thank you Professor Frenkel.

[beinghere]

I find myself not really listening to the words, almost as if this beautiful soul is speaking a language I don’t understand, and yet I am left feeling somehow truly happy just feeling the enthusiasm and joy being expressed here. Thank you fellow travellers for sharing this journey. It may sound trite but I love you 🙏🏼🤗🌈🐝

[elikatz]

Professor @edfrenkel, a small token of my appreciation for taking the world on your epic journey towards unus mundus and the grand Unification of mathematics and physics.

Eagerly awaiting your insights on spacetime emergence and Professor Nima's amplitudehedron, combinatorics & surfaceology.

Looking fwd to continuing our 2020 chat..

I am merely a layman, but I have been interested these issues for a lifetime. Every time I see you contributing to some other Youtube I find your insights and enthusiasm stimulating. Your new channel is an immediate follow from me.

[ivicahausm]

I am just watching only 10 minutes of your video and I have fall in love. The way how clear and nice your presentation is . wow. I am so glad I discover you

[deltasquared]

I wish to thank you most sincerely for starting this wonderful channel.
I think Jung would have particularly loved your insights and input in light of his "Synchronicity, an acausal connecting principle" particularly in relation to math and physics.

[EnemyOfEldar]

You are one of my maths heroes, Edward! i read your book while studying Theoretic Physics at University of Birmingham, 2011-2015 and it changed me!

Incredible presentation. Filled with love of wisdom! Your accent and handwriting are wonderful also. Keep it coming friend!

[QuantumTangents]

Your passion for exploring the intersection is truly a breath of fresh air, professor. So many stale and stuffy comments that seem so certain and closed-minded. There is a mysterium that the mystics have known all along.. that which the hard sciences can only fathom. The level of omniscience and omnipotence is usually not granted to those who refuse to expand their limited thinking. Wisdom is found in kaleidoscopic fusions where the superconscious highway of the cosmic mind and heart intersect in profound and often mysterious ways. If you know, you know. Thank you for embarking on this delightful expedition in traversing the journey towards the (third) transcendant function - which Jungians know of very well.

[lamorsadealicia]

Loved it and looking forward to next episodes. Schrödinger puts it beautifully when he says "Conscience is a singular of which the plural is unknown... What if plurality is only a series of the different aspects of one single thing?"

I mentioned on X that I am a C student in math, had to take college algebra 2x, had to change my major because there was no way, at the time, I could get thru calculus. Yet, I had a greeat career on Wall Street, suddenly when the $ sign was in front of numbers, the numbers made more sense. My dad was a Mechanical Engineer, so it was frustrating for me and probably for my dad. I've always had an interest in astronomy and the unexplained in our atmosphere and space. Despite a constant struggle in math from grade school to college, I have a deep fascination with math that I can't explain. Maybe a right brain/left brain thing. I am all in with AfterMath !
