in this area? And so I went and kind of untangled the whole history of the second law, which I was surprised nobody had written before. Although after I figured it out, I wasn't as surprised because it's really complicated. And it requires kind of understanding various points of view that people had that are a little bit tricky to understand. But I think, in the end, I feel very confident that how what I figured out fits into what people have known before, what people have

And I was realizing that a bunch of what I'm doing is kind of following on from what people did about 100 years ago, maybe sometimes a little bit more than 100 years ago. And I was wondering, why is it that a bunch of things I'm interested in, I'm going back and looking at what people did 100 years ago, and what I'm saying, they got stuck. I think we can now make progress. What happened? I think what happened is that in the 1800s, there was this kind of push towards abstraction. There was this idea …

But the thing to realize is we are embedded as observers in this universe that is branching all the time. And the critical point then is that we are branching as well. So from this idea, from this first sort of naive idea that when you have something where you have many branches of history, that our experience must just go down one branch, that's really not the right picture. Actually there are a couple of issues. One is that the branches can merge and the other is that our experience can span many branches. We…

No one seems to see this quantum construction, as I do yet. I think it will change because it is showing up in [journals and conference’s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JGmzTXMgOQ). The natural truth’s are bigger than my ego. It allows me the patience to be able to stand among the naysayers with this knowledge. More importantly, the experience of how Nature is running the show in us, has me in a place that is far beyond the dark ages of my past.

I was going to show you because I once I when I figured out um how I think the second law works, I got curious why had people not figured this out before. And so, I tried to trace the history of the second law. And uh old Jamie Clerk Maxwell was a big figure in the history of the second law. And I really do would like to show you just a few things from his work. Let's see whether I can find these. Um, now that's a that's fun. That's from uh Kelvin from uh 1870s trying to figure out uh motion. Hold on a second. Let's see if I can find this. Sorry, I was not uh quite prepared for this. I think t…

In the end, sort of the ideas about the Ruliad and so on, the kind of entangled, limitable, possible computations, that's sort of the ultimately deconstructed, dehumanized thing. But what you then realize, what I realized eventually, is how our perception of the laws of physics depends critically on our nature as observers within the Ruliad. In other words, from going from a completely dehumanized view of science, that is this totally abstracted Ruliad, turns out the humans are actually really…

“It was claimed” is suitably cautious. I’d not be surprised if this were true, however. The rest of the article ought to disturb people’s complacency, too, but I’m not sure it will.

Yes, that to me is is the foundational question in the sense that it's really kind of naive and simple like a kid can ask it but it's also like the most profound philosophical question that you come back to regardless of how much study you do. I am suspicious about the extent to which science can inform a question like that. An analogy that I've given before is a bit like discovering a book. There are some books on the table uh which are also available on Amazon.com and reputable book sellers everywhere. Um but suppose it were a a book of poetry on the table. I use the example of a Shakespeare…

So if you can say perhaps uh the world itself consists of mental states or there is a mind of the universe and it somehow splits off it dissociates and in in your theory that would be it forms mark of blankets which are not something uh real so to speak. It's a statistical object, right? It's a mathematical object, a doing of nature. So, but now we're deep in philosophy and I'm talking a lot here, but I'm I'm very curious what your thoughts are here because I see a very interesting overlap between your thinking and I know you're not a philosopher and agreed sort of you told me I'm not a philos…

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…

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…
