   > that you say Maxwell theory is correct. Right? And so I think seeing through one idea can open doors. Yeah, so that's what I mean by it's a modest idea. One can make many constructions and ideas and intuitions and so on. I always think we need to rely on nature giving us a hint. Uh-huh. Because theory space is infinite dimensional. And if you tip with your finger somewhere and you say,

   > ideas and intuitions and so on. I always think we need to rely on nature giving us a hint. Uh-huh. Because theory space is infinite dimensional. And if you tip with your finger somewhere and you say, “oh, the metric may be non-symmetric.” Einstein did that, right? I mean, Einstein in his later years, he fanatically looked for the inclusion of Maxwell theory into the geometric framework

   How do we know that this isn't just pure mathematics? And that would take us into a wonderful conversation along the lines of the material that we just discussed. So yeah, I think he would warm to these ideas pretty quickly. Do you think we're sort of in the realm of philosophy here? One of the criticisms that I see of string theory as somebody who doesn't understand the first thing about it is that because of this lack of experimental data, you can say that in principle it could be tested. But there are all kinds of philosophical theories that in principle we could test. Ideas about personal …

   Dissecting free will. If you hit Apple shift P, I believe to start the thing. No. Oh, maybe it's does someone know how to start? I can start it if you if you need See, if you ever wonder why your computer never cooperates, it's because of free will. Or free won't. Yeah. Sometimes if you show them a hammer. Do we want to change the order? I could talk cuz I don't need to. Oh, yeah. Maybe we should switch and let you go ahead. Yeah. While they're doing that. How about that? Yeah. Okay. So now I'm on stage. Um, so I want to tie my um remarks not only to what's just been said but uh also to what w…

   So even deterministic quantum mechanics in its most deterministic form uh not only justifies but absolutely requires uh this negative concept of free will that not even the entire rest of the universe determines what an electron is doing. Uh so every elementary particle has a certain what Fuches calls interiority, a certain uh borrowing this term from William James um a certain lack of forceful input from the entire rest of the universe. Um, and if you saw my talk a couple of days ago, this assumption that the universe has a well- definfined quantum state is actually equivalent to the assumpti…

   Oh, yeah, I know, I know, I like it, but I think for me, if you want to just make it really like a basic message to me, it's just like saying that in idealism we just say that that ocean is consciousness, right? The ocean is the mind at large. You can agree with that on that. Yeah. But I mean, assuming that we will eventually unify, our 17 quantum fields that we need to go into in grand unification theory. Yeah. Then I would say the resulting field is a model of this field of subjectivity. That is the ground our lives. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And then I can sort of following that helps me also pe…

   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…

   What if if you took a powerful microscope and you looked into the heart of matter and you didn't find a swarm of little dots, but you found a swarm of little vibrating filaments. And the motivation for that came from the fact that with that move, the tension between quantum mechanics and general relativity went away. Mhm. That little tiny move from dot to filament was what you needed for the mathematics of these two theories to harmoniously meld together. So if this picture is correct, the electron would be a little vibrating filament and the quirks, they would be little vibrating filaments an…

   Not only do we know what the theory says, we know how far we can extend it before it should fail. Let me just give you one slides worth of argument in favor of this. There's a feature of quantum field theory called crossing symmetry. And I'm going to explain to you what this means. This picture we have here is called a Fineman diagram. My claim to fame in the physics community is that I sit at the desk that Richard Fineman used to sit at at Caltech. Yes. Thank you. The rule is that Fineman's old desk goes to the most senior theoretical physicist at Caltech who is not senior enough to get a bra…

    So I guess the difference I just want to highlight between idealism and and monism is that instead of just saying that consciousness is fundamental and all there is, it's viewing matter as a host of consciousness in a way. Is that correct? Yeah, look at matter this way. You know, my theory is a monistic theory, but not in the, you know, and I don't want to get into, you know, this boxes. We it tend to put things into boxes when, frankly, when you talk about one where one is not made of boxes is is everything is interconnected with one. So the boxes close enclose what the box is supposed to con…
