   If the electron will wind up here in one universe, there in another, there in another, and so forth. In what sense is there a probability for it to be at one location or another? Because in the multiverse, it will, in the God's eye view, exist at every possible location. And you of course have pushed this problem to a place which I believe you think is a solution. - Yeah. - Can you just give a feel for how to resolve that conundrum? - Yes. So in my view, as you said, and not all colleagues agree with this, to put it mildly, but the ones who understand it, do. (both laughing) There is no such t…

   you really just do have if for electrons for example you have point particles and they have locations but rather than following some deterministic trajectories those point particles move stochastically according to some rules okay and so all you can do is predict a probability of seeing them the rules are complicated I don't think we really told you exactly what the rules were or even I don't know if it the it's known what the rules are supposed to be in the most general cases but um one cru crucial feature of the rules is that they don't depend just on the state of the particle at any one tim…

   Uh if you think that's an outrageous thing for a physicist to say, that kind of statement appears elsewhere also in the physics literature. uh Christopher Fuches for example who who founded in a sense quantum basianism makes a very similar statement uh John Wheeler's discussions of the the uh what he calls the participatory universe uh makes very similar statements. So there are a lot of physicists who actually think that electrons are constantly making their own decisions and this free will theorem gives a certain amount of formal justification to that. So can I have the next slide please? Th…

   So maybe the right thing to say um again I want to get back to you still haven't answered the very first question I asked because I haven't given you a chance to but okay um there's a whole bunch of things that sort of come together to have a package of how we think about physics and what you're saying is something has to go and you know one way of saying what has to go is your notion of probability theory and maybe other things as well but what we all agree on is something has to radically shift from the classical view to the quantum view. >> That's right. That's right. Um, in the 1900s…

   And that is a perfectly legitimate description of the state of the configuration of this thing. Just to give you a sense of a real physical object that would behave that way. Particles like electrons, for example, have a property called "spin", which can be up or down, it's like heads and tails. But that's the key thing that objects like "electrons" can not only have definite values of some property, some thing that you can measure, but they can be in a mixture of those things. And it's not a probability theory in the sense that we would usually think of probability theories. So usually we'd s…

   There's reasons why things exist, reasons why things happen. And this was elevated to a principle called the principle of sufficient reason. The principle of sufficient reason is literally the bumper sticker you see that says everything happens for a reason. Okay, there's a technical way of saying it that linenets uh the guy on the right said Spinosa is in the middle. All three of these philosophers promagated this principle and the way that Linus put it was the sake for which something happens is the final cause. Sorry, the principle sufficient reason is nothing is without a ground or reason …

   So what is the foundation of this new guiding principle I have found for Nature’s puzzle? Quantum mechanics is the short answer. The reason is simple. One of its fundamental ideas is that at all times all probabilities and possibilities might occur. This means they don’t guess words that fit the biologic puzzle of life. They wait until the die is cast, and the probabilities diminish, and the choice becomes clear. To me this makes a lot more sense than to guess when you do not know for sure. Quantum mechanics also assumes the world is inherently disordered to begin with it. I think anyone who h…

   So this is the idea that this collection of motions and that collection's emotions and which ones are activated are all there together and which one is activated is a is a conscious choice and that conscious choice as it is at a quantum level choice in these very specific cells that you get the coherent superposition of different actions. I see. It could be this action is under control or this one or this one and they're all there in quantum superposition. So the choice you make as to which one is controlled is a quantum choice. And presumably when when the waveform collapses that's when you b…

   But the Schroinger equation doesn't give you what happens in the world. Why doesn't it give you what happens? Schroinger himself was very keen on explaining these things and his well-known cat. He was making the point this is just an absurdity to have a cat which is dead and alive at the same time is a nonsense. This is point of what he was trying to make. He was saying this is an absurdity. His equation he was trying to say he was saying roughly speaking my equation does not describe reality. there is something more and this something more is what we tend to call the collapse of the wave func…

    um it has to do that and and so your theory is not about what the bacterium is or what sort of the protein but it's about the mechanism the mathematics of that right and then very first principles it's about physics of that >> so is it a physics of life then I'm thinking I'm here my talk myself talking is it a physics of life in a sense >> yes I think so yes that's actually the uh title of a journal where I enjoy publishing most of my interesting work um yeah I I can't resist this picking up on this notion of the primordial soup um and coming back to your your observation before.
