Bill is so good. I love how he is so modest about his intelligence. He is a very clever man, much more than he makes out to be.

But then, the combination of admitting not knowing much and then developping a genuine curiosity for all sorts of things about the world, intelligence and wisdom are more likely to increase... :) He's pitch-perfect so that would have definitely helped his proficiency in music.

There’s a very intelligent saying, that someone from Ancient Greece 🇬🇷 said(but I cannot remember who right now), which is, that the most intelligent people, are the ones who are happy to say, that they don’t know everything/anything, because nobody can know everything about even one simple subject..........

Evi1M4chine and yet quantum physics perplexes even the smartest people at times. Ironically with my avatar, Albert Einstein was one of the greatest physicists and he him self hated and found confusing quantum physics as it suggested everything in the observable universe is random. Another quote for you. He who claims to know the most likely knows the least. I find quantum physics confusing as hell. I have studied it at university and hate it as it does not conform to what I see before me as a computer scientist. (quantum computing)

@Falney 7 жыл бұрын

darryl crump the problem is that it is unprovable and unless we are going to start accepting "I thinks" and "I feels" then the parallel universe theory is just that. I have been told that the reason I like most people, don't understand it is because we think in 3d. Every thing is certain and predictable. Something that quantum physics throws out of the window. I heard some one at the uni say "is it certain in certainty or just predictable in predictability" with the whole multiple simultaneous states.

2:19 - What it looks like when you trully understand the intricacies of hyperbolic paraboloid being projected into a two dimensional plane? You can create a metaphore that will allow even the simpliest of your kind to connect to the complexity of humanity's most advanced understanding of the universe - saddle shaped pringles stuffed into flat surface shaped space being perceived by our senses and constructed in our brain into what each of us considers to be the "reality".
