Lee Smolin is a theoretical physicist, co-inventor of loop quantum gravity, and a contributor of many interesting ideas to cosmology, quantum field theory, the foundations of quantum mechanics, theoretical biology, and the philosophy of science. He is the author of several books including one that critiques the state of physics and string theory called The Trouble with Physics, and his latest book, Einstein's Unfinished Revolution: The Search for What Lies Beyond the Quantum.

Man, you are like my hero. Thanks for asking great questions to great people.

[toufisaliba]

Lex can you please invite both Sean and Lee in like a fireside chat setup of some sort?

Fundamental is F (neologism, not energy, matter, time, etc). Task scheduler of F 1, 2, 3, etc. Each F step includes which F to execute. Gravity (and correlated concepts time, matter, etc.) relates to process loop. Starting with random or "fair"/"impartial" process loop gives gravity as a consequence of opportunity cost. It takes longer to process F steps as they build correlations with other Fs (iow more "matter", slower "time"). A measurement is an F step of correlation. It's not necessarily many worlds or not many worlds, the decision to focus on either is the continuation of this F step evaluation loop. Each of us is one of these evaluation processes, i.e. an F step.
The important part is the neologism, because "time", "matter", etc., carry the vestigial training wheels of pre quantum/relativity concepts.

Ahh yt comments...

Thanks for the vid 👍

Liking that sound devices setup 👊
I 'Preciate the work good sir.

I think you get to choose where to collapse the wave function by deciding when to look.

[ytpadyt]

1.) length is not changing, 1 meter is certain amount of wavelengths, just the rulers are moving. 1 metre should be measured using cesium clock in free fall and that amount of wavelengths helps us in turn to get proper time when moving
2.) everything visible (to us) is in 3 dims, it is moving (change in arrangement) ie causality and "time"; everything visible emerges from places ("extra" dims) which were not visible and these contains something what is able to be visible. That is the same place where first is nothing visible, it changes and there is something visible. Like moving photon ie "moving" ripple and these ripples are just like falling pieces of domino, one by one. So "extra" dims are everywhere filling all space - in vacuum in the same place can something not visible change into something visible . And that can change back to vacuum (not visible state). There are actually only 3 dims but there are places we "see" and places we dont. We have theories about visibles but we know little if something about what is happening with that not visible. We have to figure it out ie we should thing like creator - how could we create the world. We have some pieces of big puzzle already. Turns out that not visible state is fundamental and visible state needs extra energy (movement). Like moving with electron causes that something not visible to change into visible. And that first hit hits something not visible what turns into visible, it its next door not visible neighbor and that forst neighbor by this hitting turns back to invisible state, that already visible neighbor makes the same and so on. This transition between neighbors last and thats why speed of causality/light is that constant maximum. And atom means that some visibles are trapped in certain space structure. And gravity is just influence of that something not visible on our visible world. And maybe in the not visible world there is no speed limit (no transition needed), maybe this allows "spooky action at the distance" or thats why gravity is large distance "force" (influences that visible on large distances).

I did this. It is now fully incorporated and completed 😊

[aaronsorenson]

Refreshing and entertaining. The solution to the unsolvable is potential. That which unifies the Universe is potential.

[pnesap]

Does Smolin's theory that time is linear and the future isn't here yet bear out? I was under the impression that in multiverse, time is relative, so past present future can happen simultaneously.

[cjklz]

12.16 minutes before I got lost in the unrepresented future. ready, to continue.

[nooklyn]

I think The future doesn't exist because you have the power to change it now, that power gives you all the same options as the ones you took or thought about in the past. so I believe your future is determinable by deciding to do or not to do. not by deciding what to do. action at a distance is not connected by space but by time.

[breathebreathe]

What if we keep breaking it down yet only endup getting close yet not being able to point "to all-that-is"

[miguelalamo]

12:49 He probably meant to say one of the weirder things about quantum mechanics, because it’s all weird.

[michaela.]

"The future doesn't exist"

[jmwSeattle]

People who don’t know what they’re talking about gesticulate a lot with their hands like this guy.
I saw Bill Gates on CNBC recently and he was going wild with his hands.

[lackofeffortfpv]

More liek unfinish3d ev0lut1on amrite folks?, ... Jk, lovely bit of interview, I'm looking forward to listening to the rest. Thank you.

[vampireducks]

You wouldn't need to squirm and wring your hand so much about this if you could only give up your metaphysical prejudice for realism, Lee. Come over to the dark side.
