   Um, well, it's a curious word you used there, which was explain. Ah, because Yes. Yeah. I I should take that back, right? Yes. You know, because the the right I mean, I don't think this was exactly Boore's attitude. The common attitude is calculate. Predict tell me what the numbers will be, and if the numbers are right, that's all I want. Absolutely. Boore was actually trying to make a much more profound argument which was that a certain sort of explanation which had been provided by classical physics was no longer available. Just could not could not be found. There wasn't that nature didn't p…

   And this was a conversation I had with him before the dinner I had with him afterwards, and I was busy painting him into this corner. And rather than painting him into the corner, he simply leapt into the corner without well, even worrying. He said, "Yeah, certain integers are conscious." I said, "What?" Integers are conscious. Of course they are. What? What I thought had painted him to a into a reduction of ad absurdum was to him a perfectly rational point of view. To me, it was an absurdity. That's what consciousness does to people. Well, it's just some numbers, are conscious, he would say. …

   My roommate saw me pacing in circles reading this thing with my brow furrowed. I understood it was a very very profound and surprising result. Now that's of course long after it was published and then I can give you another data point from a few from last year. I gave a talk on Bell's theorem and relativity at John's Hopkins for a general audience and a guy in the audience put up his hand. He said I have a PhD in astrophysics. I've never heard of any of this. He was completely unfamiliar. He said why didn't they tell me? Right. So yeah, I think it's a very strange history that Bell's work whic…

   My guess is that he not that he wouldn't have believed my theorem, he would have thought, "Oh, well, that just shows you general relativity is wrong." Curiously, the reaction I got from certain people. I know Bob Dicke in in when I visited Princeton after this, he slapped me on the back and said, "You've done it. You've showed general relativity is wrong." And what what I thought I was doing, you see. But I mean, you see, these things are there wasn't anything definitive in these experiments. You just sort of eventually have enough evidence to push the majority of people in a certain direction…

   I wanted to begin with a, I don't know, a pet peeve of mine that I think you also agree with. When it comes to quantum mechanics, unlike any other theory that we discuss, people use this word "interpretation." The interpretations of quantum mechanics. And to me, as we'll get into it, the interpretations are not interpretations. They're different theories. And some of the interpretations don't even qualify as a complete theory. And so that just seems to be a complete misnomer in the way we describe these things. - I couldn't agree more. And I got this view from Bryce DeWitt, who was my supervis…

   So when plotted as a function of w, K should look like a straight line with intercept W. And that's what you find. In fact, this is one way to measure the work function. How much energy do we need to rip an electron out of a metal depends on the metal. And you shine light and you crank up the frequency, till something happens. And just to be sure, you go a little beyond that and you find that the kinetic energy grows linearly in w. Anyway, this is how one confirmed the existence, indirect existence, of photons. There's another experiment that also confirmed the existence of photons. Look, that…

   It ultimately has to be the If to be and to be understood is to one, that which one's, right? Can't be grasped by anything that has any the any difference or distinction within it. This is Plotinus's famous argument. Yeah. Uh, and I I take it that that's ultimately the case. If we claimed to measure the one, it can't possibly be the one. Um, And then the last thing I just wanted to get in is Karen's comment about the control of some men by other men, right? Which is where we've gotten to with science and with nominalism, right? There is this, uh, situation now culturally where, cuz, you know, …

   Well, sure, if somebody proves the theorem, I mean, Andrew Wiles proved that there were no x to the n, that you can have a sum of two squares which is another square, but there's no other power which the sum of two of that powers gives you another thing which has the same power I mean, that's mathematical statement and that would be true. Whether the universe had different physical laws and it's completely independent is a mathematical statement is objectively true. How we come across to understand why it is true, maybe very difficult question, very few people really understand, how many peopl…

   And his reply would be about 37 and a half degrees away from your question making that figure is not an exact number, of course, but it was always angled away from what you thought and it was quite strange in some ways, so interesting. But yes. I don't know. I got lost after a while. He kept talking about it’s from bits and things like that. And I think I lost at that stage. I guess it got to philosophical, like I have to say, I, I don’t know, I just find it difficult to, I think quantum mechanics confuses people too much. That's the trouble and I think probably confuses people is not quite fo…

    Yeah, that too. But the point I was making is his fundamental issue of this telepathic collapse. You can do that with a single particle. Yeah. You don't you don't need the the formulas of entanglement, but the entanglement does take it further in certain ways, right? Uh which I'd love to get to pretty much now because 1935 rolls around and he starts to work with Pedulski and Rosen. Um the idea of entanglement was already known, right? Schroinger had already described entanglement. No. Are you sure? Because my understanding again do correct me if my history is wrong but I thought Schroinger ear…
