Hidden Variables in Modern Cosmology (Antony Valentini)

Lecture from the mini-series "Cosmology & Quantum Foundations" from the "Philosophy of Cosmology" project. A University of Oxford and Cambridge Collaboration.

I like the idea and am particularly excited about it being testable.

Does the non-equilibrium state exist in extra-dimensional space? In other words the equilibrium state is the only one possible in 3D space. Also, doesn't Arkani-Hamed  amplituhedron describe the 4+ spacial solids that give rise to QM and would, therefor account for the hidden variables? Not to take away from the theory that the non-equilibrium state was the precondition of the universe. I tend to think that the Big Bang was when 3D space-time was isolated from the preexisting infinite space in such a way that what we identify as fermions and bosons exist in both realms on the quantum scale. Bosons more so than fermions. BTW such a phase transition would include the same kind of time-space reversal found in anti-de Sitter space to de Sitter space.

Where's the link to the Wednesday session.

When can I get my ultra-long-wavelength faster than light radio? :D

I like the notion of nonequilibrium, but locality can be saved thanks to the superdeterminism.

[richdorset]

Dark matter has wavelength of a galaxy, but nowhere near hubble radius. Just saying.

That hair is so distracting. It can't be real.
