imagine going to a 19th century physicist and telling them that 21st century physics is plagued by enormous nigh-unsolvable philosophical questions - but that we're also unsatisfied because our theories break down "only" before 10-³² seconds after the beginning of the universe
This actually sounds like how I often run games of dnd. The players enter somewhere, a place I have yet to fully design. Then, as the players ask questions "is this room well lit?", "how far away is the next door", "can I climb this wall?", it forces me to choose the nature of the location. Only because the players asked did the room become how it is now! With that analogy, I now imagine the universe being asked by scientists "how does this work?" and the universe stuttering as it poorly explains a property, as the scientists fervently write notes.
Matt: We have determined that our universe is created from answering questions. Matt shortly later: Please answer our 8 question survey. Matt next episode: Physicists have just discovered 256 new universes.
This reads like a scientist living his own Lovecraftian horror story. Knowledge so unknowable that one begins to go insane from a sudden intuitive understanding that they can't put into words because the words don't exist. But the fright and despair in the eyes of the afflicted is so intense that you can only shudder at the thought of such a horrifying realization
The mass of the entire universe in a black hole producing the size equal to our cosmological event horizon was such a cliffhanger. Please elaborate on this next time.
it's only Spacetime where I expect videos with "woah dude" titles to involve hardcore physics
I think there is plenty of space in the field of physics for philosophers. Science currently only measures the physical aspect of the universe but there is clearly something more that we are missing and I think having philosopher physicists working on finding new ways to think of these problems is extremely helpful for the field as a whole to grow. We may not be able to measure consciousness now but maybe it will be these philosopher physicists who find some way to do so in the future!
"Quantum woo" is my new favorite phrase
I’m convinced that we are the result of an infinite imagination where nothing makes sense until we try to make sense of it. Much like our brains make sense of random thoughts that somehow coalesce into a dream reality.
I love how this episode portrays Dark Energy as that insufferable neighbour who we somehow need to live with.
