The Theory That Could Rewrite the Laws of Physics

[rafaelgomez]

I appreciate the interview with Chiara. I felt like the interviewer should probe more into concrete examples of constructor theory and specific problems she is working on. I understand the field is very new but I'm sure she has plenty of brilliant examples and metaphors that she never got the chance to communicate. Great video, but like the other early comments, I would wish it was more lay-friendly.

This video followed law of conservation of knowledge as My knowledge before watching the video and after watching it remained constant, only my entropy increased

funny contrast between the modern mac book and this ancient notebook

"A universe where everything is allowed is not as interesting as one where only some things are allowed and others are not." Sounds like a mathematician.

[simonferrier]

Yes, however theories can not be proven, so can not be taken literally or as fact... Understanding the word 'theory' is paramount!

[sbolfing]

Interesting. Coming up with a new way to look at a problem almost always leads to new understanding.

Three laws of this kind:
1. Impossibility of perpetual motion.
2. Impossibility of faster than speed of light travel.
3. Impossibility of infinite precision of conjugate variables (Heisenberg uncertainty principle).
4.
I think that fourth one will be revolutionary. Einstein also pointed out this idea in his autobiographical notes.

Why does it feel she is saying something quite simplistic as an idea, but making it more than it is?

[MrTonyretro]

We think therefore we are? Travel without moving is the answer to navigating the universe, (you don't go to it, you bring it to you) I haven't worked out how to do it quite yet.

Am I correct in thinking the reason particles are fundamentally unpredictable and cause these strange effects is because basically, every quantum particle is Entangled with another one, across the entire universe? I have been casually trying to learn about this all for a couple years now and I barely remember classical physics and certainly don't understand quantum physics stuff. Yet.

Thanks, Chiara, I hope you like my home city. I must replay and listen properly and not get involved in the comments about your workflow equipment.

An intelligent physicist peeking into the un-chartered territories in fundamentals of the universe, possessing a book from Harry Potter's realm. my mind is so confused what to do with the concept.

[dirkjenkinz]

My first impression is that constructor theory is Stephen Wolfram's ideas (as detailed in his book 'A New Kind of Science') about treating the whole of physics as a collection of computational systems but looked at from a different perspective. Feel free, everybody, to shoot me down in flames if I'm wrong.

Who knew, as Simple Gyroscope, could prove whether the Earth's surface
is relatively FLAT and LEVEL as you move across the Surface of
if the surface in front of YOU and the GYRO will make you
TILT OVER, to "go over the curve"....To MOVE over the surface of a BALL
in front of YOU...would be FORCED to TILT of course
because the Physics of a Gyroscope is both beautiful, and reliable due
to it's inherent Physical will easily determine if
the Earth is FLAT in front of you when you MOVE over the
if the Earth is a BALL, and you constantly tilt over as you move around
it. Thank You guys. Wonderful Stuff. The ANSWER.

I managed to understand this but am curious where it's headed. I wonder if there's more on this available online.

I wish this video had offered auto-subtitles in English. The combination of the sound quality, her voice, and her accent made it difficult and occasionally impossible for me to understand what she was saying. This is not meant as a personal criticism, but as a suggestion for this video and future videos. Achieving good sound quality can be challenging, especially outdoors; everyone's voice and accent are different; and everyone's ability to understand speech over the range of possible voice qualities and accents vary. I hope the creators of these videos will look into this. Thank you.

She's the Italian River Song. That book is probably her journal. I bet she's met Jim the Fish. Also, she probably has the complete theory in there, including how it unifies everything. But she can't talk about it yet, because, you know, _spoilers._

[Max_Jacoby]

Chiara's atoms are beautifully composed.

[afaintbluelight]

"...this is a very powerful scheme."
God. This interview was incredible. If anybody can do it- its her.

Shes even got his hair.

[rushwinvaishnav]

She is working on one of the concept of thermodynamics. Its a very deep topic about entropy .
