Eigenbros ep 117 - Jonathan Gorard (Wolfram Physics)

Juan & Terence talk with guest Jonathan Gorard about the Wolfram computational model of the universe. They take a deeper dive into the more fundamental aspects of the theory.

Thanks for watching, folks! What other questions should we have asked Jonathan?

[alexwilson]

He may be the smartest person we have right now, a true gem. Please keep doing interviews!! We forgive anything uncouth

[mesokosmos]

I have waited long to see J. Gorard interviewed by someone. Thanks for arranging it, fantastic actually!

[Jannikheu]

Jonathan is not only a mathematical genius but also really good at explaining his concepts even for laymen like me (not being a physicist) I was surprised to see! E.g. I didn't get the fractional dimension concept at all before and now I feel I have a much better understanding of what that actually means.

[robbyr]

That was super helpful. Wolfram's explanations on Lex F.'s podcast April 2020 gave some similar insight but this was more distilled & clear.

Brilliant interview guys! Jonathan's explication of the computational aspects of the project was superb. Please get him back for a full 3 hour interview.

[stephan]

Wolfram is great with conveying a big picture which is already exciting enough but Gorard really gives answers to the details. His are the best explanations I ever heard. The hole project is simply exciting. A pity that not many more people get to work on it. Thanks guys for this video :-)

[AG-pmtc]

You truly have the rarest interviews my dudes!

[Phn_tm]

This was truly fantastic. Jonathan's explicative talents are incomparable and your style (both together) is clear and laid-back which comes as a welcome counter-balance to Jonathan's innate enthusiasm. Thank you and I look forward to more!

[danellwein]

thank you for having Jonathan on the podcast .. i have subscribed ..

[TEKRific]

Great to see Jonathan. He's a great explicator. Rigourous yet bold and very stringent in his approach. Every time I listen to him I learn something new and my intellectual horizon have broadened considerably. Thanks for uploading this Eigenbros!

[emertron]

Loved the podcast! I’ve been following along the Wolfram Physics project for a while but I’m no physicist. Very nice to hear some informed probing questions asked in good faith

[KaliFissure]

Go Jon! Your work on the @wolfram project is truly groundbreaking or actually ground firming in that through the full view of logic., operations, iterative topology and the whole rulial conception we can place almost any construct on a family tree which spreads and morphs in multiple dimensions. The multiverse can be modeled and compared.

[TurboJon]

Jonathan is excellent! Wonderful explanation of such a complex and exciting project. Thank you.

[Self-Duality]

Excellent conversation! Love this. Jonathan G. is legitimately the real-world Jimmy Neutron! ⚛️

[isaacsaxton-knight]

Jonathan is a genius, there's no doubt, a model young researcher.

This was BLOODY amazing! Thank you! I think there is a point where you start to understand that Jonathan is working on a level whereby we must understand that all the laws we work with currently are just a tool of our own language - our own creation to summarise what is observed/discovered in experiment.

Playing with and questioning the details of how we go about things feels (and should be treated as such) similar to debugging code and finding out that adding an extra bit of functionality allows the programmer more options to get to the same output... and in doing so, highlights errors in the stack that were hidden before with try/catches haha.

I think the abstraction in this conversation is not only beautiful, but necessary in a world where every physical thing we perceive is the output of our evolutionary failure as humans to develop sensors that work towards a function of understanding the universe we live in rather than surviving in the universe we live in.

Amazing interview guys. Brilliant, all of you! Much love...

[BlackThoughts]

they've done it again! Video is fire

[ninadesianti]

Thank you for sharing! Great interview! Please bring back Jonathan Gorard in the future and update us with his work.

[tarkajedi]

A brilliant breakdown of this exciting theory... Great job guys giving it fair time!!!
