Lee Smolin: The Identity of the Indiscernible as a Physical Principle

At the Annual Philosophy of Physics Conference, Gravity and Geometry: Centenary Perspectives on General Relativity, Lee Smolin presented this lecture, entitled, "The Identity of the Indiscernible as a Physical Principle". Participants presented physical, philosophical, and historical reflections on Einstein’s theory of gravity and space-time geometry, its development over the past century, and its future prospects.

I would love to view this but the audio is terrible.

First of all thank you for a very developed version of Leibniz (and thanks to Dr. Barbour).

A question - how about a signaling scenario with a Mars rover, never mind ´distant´ galaxies.
Would we have to send a prepared quantum qubit system to mars first, to check FTL signaling?
Or an earth orbiter system? Would the transport have to be super "safe"?
Has someone or agency already tried this with (tilde) 30 qubits to earth orbit?
And by the way, thanks for saving my ginger tomcat - unique.

I think lees on the right track..but. we will probably never be able to hear about it. Lol.😁 we need to make the inaudible spaces, audible.
