it fascinates me how us, the result of these processes, are here trying to figure out the processes, through the processes themselves. it's like an AI looking at its own code while it executes
and deeper into the rabbit hole we go! thank you PBS and Matt for this awesome journey over the last years
As a neuroscientist interested in physics, this episode was a marvelous meeting of worlds. The finding that hippocampal space/time navigation resides in the same area that governs episodic memory may be especially revealing about how humans think and experience the world/universe.Great explanation and graphics, as usual, but now closer to “home”. Many thanks, Matt and Spacetime.
I love these episodes that cross into other fields of science and prepare us for even weirder fundamental information
While playing Hyperbolica, a game set in non-Euclidean spaces that will absolutely break your brain, I looked some of this stuff up to see if the grid cells were hard-wired from birth to a Euclidean plane or if they just formed this way during brain development because that maps to our experience. What I found seems to indicate that it is the former. Much to my dismay, however, nobody ever did an experiment on mice where they would wear tiny VR goggles from birth that simulate hyperbolic space. Until someone does, we don't seem to know for certain.
I love the direction this channel has taken and how Matt has grown into one of the best science communicators of our time
This episode is picking apart the fabric of reality at the most profound and mind-expanding level.
These videos are lullaby to me. I play it in background and this is the fastest way for me to sleep
Isn't there a continuation video to this one yet?
