Other channels Q&A: 15 minutes tops Sean's Q&A: 3 and a half frikkin hours! awesome!

Hearing Sean say the word "shit" Mind blown.

I love how Sean doesn't BS you. He gives you a straight answer. 👍

Hey man I just wanted to say thanks and let you know you have been an inspiration in my life.

Over 2400 years ago, the present situation was predicted by Plato when he said "An excessive desire for liberty at the expense of everything else is what undermines democracy and leads to the demand for tyranny”. Sustainable democracies are built on freedoms with social responsibility, and an educated and informed electorate, the very things that have been engineered out of the present system by those who seek power.

eh, i don't.think rule changes should be considered whenever one side loses.

Congrats on the move and thanks for being brave!

"We could be brains in a vat, being taunted by an evil demon." - Sean Carroll

Prof. Dr. Caroll, thank you so much for all you do on KZfaq. I really appreciate your combination of philosophy and science and ethical consideration. I don't think anyone else is doing it on your level. I've learned a lot from you. I hadn't thought about time as a change in entropy. I'm not sure if it's true. Correlation=/=Causation. It has led me to consider so many other deep questions that I didn't know I wanted the answer to.

The fine tuning critique here is really excellent.

So glad i found this thank you Dr. Carroll!!

I'll donate $30. My first paycheck from my new job is on the 22nd. I think it's a great cause!

In regard to the final question-I'm well past my three-score-and-ten, but am just as fascinated by Physics, Archaeology, Astronomy, Genetics, etc etc as I've always been. A militant non-professional, my interest is merely that these seem the best explanations for the way things are and how they work..

Thanks for the great episode as always Sean! Food for thought.

Hey Caroll, My mind was just wandering about electron clouds and I have a stupid question. Has someone used stereographic projection on the probabilities of the electron cloud?

Hi Prof Carroll, do u think that the conceptual and explanatory paradigms of quantum theory (eg. observer & measurement effects, wavefunction collapse, entanglement, superposition, uncertainty principle etc.) which are already being adapted to the decisional, cognitive and social sciences, can be applied to the field of risk studies especially in areas such as risk perception, management & governance & the correlation of risk-related (a)causalities with risk-linked consequences in complex & nonlinear systems that involve elaborate Bayesian probabilistic calculations & complicated statistical assessments? Thanks & I look forward to your response on this.

Does anyone know where Professor Caroll has addressed the basis problem in the many worlds interpretation of QM?

When I was a school boy, I heard that the world was supported on the back of a turtle. I asked my agriculture engineer Samskruta scholar grandfather about it. I am not sure how serious he was, but he said ‘Of course!’. Not satisfied, I asked ‘So, what is that turtle standing on?’. Maybe trying to get rid of the many more questions from me, he said ‘On another turtle’. After a minute of this, he said ‘Listen, the bottom turtle is on a bad place where troublesome kids will be sent to for asking too many questions about people’s beliefs’. I have used this kind of stories freely when confronting irrational people, saying ‘Why would you not allow me the same freedom that you like from me for yours?’. Seems to work occasionally!!

51:39 - I’d vote for Professor Carroll.

Thank you

When you turn on a flashlight or a modern laser; how is the initial "electric" charge get transferred from electron or photon to the next one as it travels on...does it ever lose its initial "charge"?

Wow. I live in Baltimore. If I happen to bump into Dr. Carroll somewhere, that would be awesome.

Fun for me as well, thank you

Big fan here!

close your eyes and you can almost hear Alan alda

Sean is dope.

does the matter at the center of a blackhole become like one subatomic particle with quantum behavior?

Always happy to see a new mindscape video, ty Sean and supporters

In which space are our fingers longer than our arms?

instead of asking what are the chances of a universe that support life, I wonder what are the chances that I am living a singular experience of life right now at this moment rather than any other time in the history or future of the universe

Late and also I don't know if this has been asked before but with the universe expanding, is it expanding just through the 3 dimensions of space or is it expanding through all 4 dimensions of spacetime?

See why guidance is so necessary?

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts.

Desittet space. Minkowski Space; brandchild space; Hilbert Space; Cambodian Space; Bushwambian Space; Codmodemonic Telephone And Telegraphic Space; HenryMillerian Space; Bugumbian Space. You pick.

All you have to do when people bring up qualia, is point to the Private Language argument - there are human tetrachromats, who see 4 primary colours, but the difference on life impacts is small they were only discovered recently. In support of psychohistory style, there are papers out there analysing traffic on roads as a gas through pipes which can pick up things like turbulent vs laminar flow that no amount of looking at individual choice & unpredictability can predict

It would be nice to have the timestamps for each question, so I can only listen to those I'm interested in.

Yes...

Congratulations. No strings attached except some merit...

Alternative to term limits for elected officials: must pass mental acuity test starting age 65

Is it possible that all back holes singularity point empty into a white whole where all white holes occur at a singular space (where time began in our universe so no matter when the black hole is formed they can not reach past this point and must occur at the big bang origin point) and this is some cyclical loop where the universe when all matter is gobbled up and energy dissipated that enough pressure is formed to begin another big bang after a certain point?

I’m at 17:09 into the video and already there are several discrepancies. First the US is a constitutional federal republic, set up to recognize the inalienable rights of the individual. While we use democratic processes majority rule is not the law of the land. There are two branches within the legislative branch the House & the Senate, laws need to be approved by both, then by the president, which can be challenged by the state, or the people via the US Supreme Court. The Federal government is limited in its power by the constitution, while the States and the people are empowered by it. The constitution combined with the Declaration of Independence & Bill of Rights are written in such a way as to prevent the federal, state, & local govt’s from infringing on the rights of the people. More importantly it prevents the PEOPLE from infringing upon their own rights.

I'd just love to sit down with Sean for an hour, in a quiet bar, sipping our personal favorite beer, discussing theories. I am no mathematician but I have a strong visual perception of Sean's theories, plus a few of my own. I'd love to explain them to sean and see what he thinks of them and if there are any real world observation that would shoot down my theories. That would be the DAY OF MY LIFE. Sorry, Nerd alert!

>He thinks you can vote your way out of this lmfao

Theory of Everything solution: [Short answer] swap from Newton to Leibniz as our fundamental blueprint of the universe. [Long answer] I contend Gottfried Leibniz was correct about the fundamentals of our contingent universe and he just lacked 2022 verbiage and Hamilton's 4D quaternion algebra. More importantly is that humanity chose Isaac Newton's "real" universe, calculus, gravity, etc. This was a big mistake. We need to correct this problem. Finishing what Leibniz started (with the intention of destroying what Newton started): [Math; Geometry 0D point] A point is a 0-dimensional mathematical object which can be specified in -dimensional space using an n-tuple ( , , ..., ) consisting of. coordinates. In dimensions greater than or equal to two, points are sometimes considered synonymous with vectors and so points in n-dimensional space are sometimes called n-vectors. 1D = line, straight; two points; composite substance; matter 《0D (point) is exact location only; zero size; not a 'thing', not a 'part'; Monad》 "He is the invisible Spirit, of whom it is not right to think of him as a god, or something similar. For he is more than a god, since there is nothing above him, for no one lords it over him. For he does not exist in something inferior to him, since everything exists in him. For it is he who establishes himself. He is eternal, since he does not need anything. For he is total perfection. A being can have a relationship with a God but not the Monad as that would be a contradiction." - The Apocryphon of John, 180 AD. Monad (from Greek μονάς monas, "singularity" in turn from μόνος monos, "alone") refers, in cosmogony, to the Supreme Being, divinity or the totality of all things. The concept was reportedly conceived by the Pythagoreans and may refer variously to a single source acting alone, or to an indivisible origin, or to both. The concept was later adopted by other philosophers, such as Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, who referred to the monad as an elementary particle. [Quantum] Quark is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental 'constituent' of matter. Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei. What is another word for quark? fundamental particle, elementary particle. Do quarks take up space? Its defining feature is that it lacks spatial extension; being dimensionless, it does not take up space. How fast do quarks move? the speed of light [In mathematics, a tuple is a finite ordered list (sequence) of elements. An n-tuple is a sequence (or ordered list) of n elements, where n is a non-negative integer. There is only one 0-tuple, referred to as the empty tuple. An n-tuple is defined inductively using the construction of an ordered pair] 1st four dimensions are 0D, 1D, 2D, 3D ✅. 1st four dimensions are not 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D 🚫. Human consciousness, mathematically, is identical to 4D quaternion algebra with w, x, y, z being "real/necessary" (0D, 1D, 2D, 3D) and i, j, k being "imaginary/contingent" (1D xi, 2D yj, 3D zk). 1D-9D 'contingent' universe has "conscious lifeforms" (1D xi, 2D yj, 3D zk)..."turning" 'time'. [In mathematics, a versor is a quaternion of norm one (a unit quaternion). The word is derived from Latin versare = "to turn" with the suffix -or forming a noun from the verb (i.e. versor = "the turner"). It was introduced by William Rowan Hamilton in the context of his quaternion theory.] [Math; 4D quaternion algebra] A quaternion is a 4-tuple, which is a more concise representation than a rotation matrix. Its geo- metric meaning is also more obvious as the rotation axis and angle can be trivially recovered. How do you make a quaternion? You can create an N-by-1 quaternion array by specifying an N-by-3 array of Euler angles in radians or degrees. Use the euler syntax to create a scalar quaternion using a 1-by-3 vector of Euler angles in radians. "Turn" to what, you might ask. 5D is the center of 1D-9D. The breadth (space-time). All 'things' and 'parts' are drawn to the center, the whole. (The Dawn -Book of Cain on the creation of the contingent universe) [Contingent Universe]: 3 sets of 3 dimensions: (1D-3D/4D-6D/7D-9D) The illusory middle set (4D, 5D, 6D) is temporal. Id imagine we create this middle temporal set similar to a dimensional Venn Diagram with polarized lenses that we "turn" by being conscious. Which requires energy. 3D height symmetry/entanglement with 9D absorption is why we are "consumers", we must consume/absorb calories, and sleep, to continue "to turn" 'time' (be alive). 1D-3D spatial set/7D-9D spectral set overlap creating the temporal illusion of 4D-6D set. According to theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, time is an illusion: our naive perception of its flow doesn't correspond to physical reality. Indeed, as Rovelli argues in The Order of Time, much more is illusory, including Isaac Newton's picture of a universally ticking clock. Does time exist without space? Time 'is' as space 'is' - part of a reference frame in which in ordered sequence you can touch, throw and eat apples. Time cannot exist without space and the existence of time does require energy. Time, then, has three levels, according to Leibniz: (i) the atemporality or eternality of God; (ii) the continuous immanent becoming-itself of the monad as entelechy; (iii) time as the external framework of a chronology of “nows” The difference between (ii) and (iii) is made clear by the account of the internal principle of change. The real difference between the necessary being of God and the contingent, created finitude of a human being is the difference between (i) and (ii).] 1D, 2D, 3D = spatial composite (line, width, height) 4D, 5D, 6D = temporal illusory (length, breadth, depth) 7D, 8D, 9D = spectra energies (continuous, emission, absorption) Symmetry/entanglement: 1D, 4D, 7D line, length, continuous 2D, 5D, 8D width, breadth, emission 3D, 6D, 9D height, depth, absorption Conclusion: Humanity needs to immediately swap from "Newton" to "Leibniz". Our calculus is incorrect (Leibniz > Newton): What is the difference between Newton and Leibniz calculus? Newton's calculus is about functions. Leibniz's calculus is about relations defined by constraints. In Newton's calculus, there is (what would now be called) a limit built into every operation. In Leibniz's calculus, the limit is a separate operation. Our Universal Constants have convoluted answers. Leibniz's Law of Sufficient Reason fixes this in a day. (FUNDAMENTALS > specifics)

Col elc. a similar system was purposed for the last aust republic referendum even though everyone new if that was put forth the republic vote would fail, and it did a similar proposal is in play now,

Excellent!

I want this guys haircut.

“Sub-mistakes” 😂

How many atoms can you remove from a chair before it becomes too uncomfortable to serve its intended purpose, that's the real question.

I wonder if time actually might move backwards even on a macro level. Consciousness isn't built to be able to process this. It wouldn't be like watching a movie in reverse. That assumes a perspective outside the movie. If all of the universe were moving backward in time, we would all un-experience things. We wouldn't see water turning into ice; We would un-see that process, and we would have no memory of it. Like the many worlds, this idea can't be tested (at least I have no idea how you could), and if time actually has two directions in its dimentionality, then it would give us many chances to go down many paths (many worlds) as time flowed back and forth. We just can't be aware of it. To my mind this is no more crazy or illogical than many worlds is.

21:05 what do you do… move to Australia 😊

51 minutes - Leading with "you/they" are wrong triggers the backfire effect (apparently shown in scans as linked to a feeling of bodily threat). This effect will trigger at least mild rage. We appear to be wired not to understand that rage is present, not because we are right, but to convince us we are right so as to target the organism towards resources that it at least now believes it deserves.

Please please please have Robin Hanson on!!!

Can you explain what the GPT-3 is and what it can contribute to science? Particularly partical physics?

I doubt strongly there's any evil demon. If think however there's some intellect that considers it's viewpoints a priori inviolable and inviolate and I'm at the point where Im confide no t that I am no one to argue. I will quote Chris Cornell: :You gave me life now show me how to live. " I tell in my head To my creater you gave me life Now show me how to live. Show me how to live Show me how to live Show me how to liiiiiiiiiive.

Hi, Doc! OK WTF jus' happn? Dang... i guess CapLOCK wuz on... wasn't that YT unexpectedly kicked-me out, lol. In&out 2day, working on an electric, wheeled chair- zipping-it-up a bit with a higher gear, jackin'-up the voltage, and other tricks i've developed for hot-rodding used, electric motors. Well i had an inspired thought after stopping to listen to you in earnest, something about Dessider space (not sure on the spelling), about the heat transfer of spacetime itself- even at the lowest possible temp- can never be zero- which IMHO could be visualized as the same source of energy Casimir force, the Higg's field of the quantum molasses that give rise to mass, the entropy only high due to the 4D connection over an infinite amount of time being set as the parameter for when any one given point within that sort of imagined, fixed volume of space might be measured. Well, don't want to waste ur time, just an amateur and life-long student of physics, but of any branch that might catch my fancy. I've been thinking about black holes a lot recently, especially since Hawking passed and i realized how much i've always enjoyed second guessing the greatest minds of all time, testing what i can with applied machinery, or merely speculate on the logical progression of a science, or any, one theory of anyone- especially ones not testable- just to see if i can speculate out a more acceptable, yet alternative, equally untestable theory (but maybe a more rational and therefore more believable, backstory (set of axioms, suppositions, or better supporting evidence that IS testable. Particularly on the search for a physical theory of electricity that better satisfies my credulity by best explaining some new phenomena that i've observed, but not had the time to fully test, reproduce, or share with any other for their own testing. Well, i just wanted to say hi and thanks for the interesting and inspiring video. I'll go back and finish listening to this video from the beginning, so i can better absorb the delightful 'scienceness' of your delivery and style. Cheers!

These questions and answers sound extremely familiar. Is this a recycle of an older episode?

1:22:32 democracy is the unavoidable and unpreventable consequence of capitalism. Capitalism requires distributed decision making to be efficient. Eventually this distributed decision making becomes democracy.

can you really argue that in the current western "democracies", the interests between classes are even roughly matched? to me the difference between a class-based electoral system and a system where everybody has the same number of votes but the resulting government does not result in an even weigting of interests matters very little. of course... keep voting the lesser evil. because of the status quo, its all you can do an so its the best you can do. but stop telling me or stop believing in that the fact that you can throw a vote once in a while automatically results in a democracy.

smash democracy!

The Buddha discovered quantum mechanics 2500 years ago. According to Buddhism, there are 4 fundamental natures in the universe called "Paramartha Dharma". Those four ultimate realities are known as 28 Matter/Rupa (4 fundamental + 24 derived material forms), 52 Cetacika (52 Mental Factors/Qualities), Cita (mind moment) and Nibbana (timeless state). Fortunately, I could discover the existence of material and immaterial forms of matter.

In an infinite universe, all possible things will happen. Is that right?

Azamat this is the haircut how do I sent u pic on WhatsApp?

you don´t know what age your listeners are? ehm you could just look at your yt analytics sean ;). you can even see nationality and sex and all kinds of other stuff there.

I would argue the basic concept of pyscohistory was when the population reaches a trillion. It is possible given some culture it is a valid theory. Don't beat my boy Asimov :D

Sean can you explain why you called for term limits for s.c. but not for politicians? I believe all government officials should have term limits and I wonder if your partisan slant in this podcast has mildly influenced your answer of this. You admit the Democratic party suffers from this more than the Republicans but instead of vehemently calling for a term limit like you did with supreme court you said "we've gotta find ways to do something about this" as if term limits won't immediately solve the problem.

Какой красивый голос у вас

There is zero percent chance there is multiverse. Even if the compounding of new branches of multiverse has no effect on our universe currently, the compounding of older branches would. The fluctuation of cause and effect would constantly alter our reality and have noticable changes that would be measurable at any one point in time. Now on the other hand, if you were to talk multiple static interacting dimensions.. well, everyone knows my stance in this regard. ;O)-

On his podcast today, Lex Fridman is joking with Joe Rogan about the Clintons killing another aide. It's like there's a decades long Dreyfus affair, but now applying to the entire Democratic party. Low corruption appears extremely dishonest compared to high corruption. I'm sure we need an update for game theory to account for a much nastier collective action problem than the usual prisoner's dilemma.

Welcome to Maryland! Hopefully, you've already bought your significant other a bouquet of Black-Eyed Susans, a dinner of delicious rock fish and blue-crab crab cakes, and season tickets to Baltimore Orioles baseball. Raven's seasons tickets are optional. American football cost too much. Now that you are here, I hope that you will use your well deserved popularity and bully pulpit to fight against the egregious level of gerrymandering that the state's Democrat party has used for decades to maintain control of Maryland state government. ...Just something to consider. I will remain a fan even if you choose to remain silent on this issue. No one is perfect. :) Hahaha... brains in a vat being taunted by an evil demon. An interesting visual.

Please let me skip these political questions

8:57 I got into a huge argument with my high-school philosophy teacher over this exact thing. And a poor grade. My argument was that colour can be defined by reference to a particular wavelength of light. His argument was 'no you can't. shut up. The QUALIA... THE QUALIA.' I've really never understand the whole "the redness of red" thing. I see red things all time. It's fine. Some things are red. I don't understand what the big deal is. Qualia people talk like just seeing colours (especially red for whatever reason) is a religious or orgasmic experience. I don't know how they get anything done. Colours are EVERYWHERE.

First

to see, nothing is everything. every vacuum in the universe is as necessary as every object. this I think is akin to time and pressure as a form of actuation. "dark matter" Dark energy being the constraint on that field of gravity, like a buoyancy characteristic of time"moment".. dark energy coupling to the environment through the moment as entanglement leading to divergent possibilities via the moment. matter antimatter retrocausality in form then actuation to duality of construct as time everlasting. geometric time. moment of inertia to be matter of consciousness. guided design. existance that is a creation of its inherent being.. pure evolution theory? "gravity" also Topological Boundaries via matter antimatter retrocausality in form then actuation to duality of construct as time.. a quantum computer with traditional computers and teck could be used as a frame for quanta. a kaleidoscope of gyroscopes. a way to "see" virtual particles. and predict wave particle duality.. or entanglement

I'd say you could easily argue the current democratic party is just as if not more laughable. Both parties have played a role in the current "existential crisis" of our democracy. I don't see how you can claim to be unbiased and vote one party no matter who, given the current state of the republic. Can we stick to science?

An Angstrom of a particle is still 1D-9D contingent universe. Composite substances. 0D (point) is exact metaphysical location only. Zero size. Non-composite substance. Not a thing. Not a part. Monad.

'Time' is an illusion. 1D-9D 'contingent' universe has "conscious lifeforms" (1D xi, 2D yj, 3D zk)..."turning" 'time'. We're unit quaternion "turners", here. Our 0D (metaphysical) point is each of our exact location only. Incorruptible. Invincible. Eternal. Very much not affected in any way by the totality of the 1D-9D contingent universe. 3 sets of 3 dimensions. The illusory middle set (4D, 5D, 6D) is temporal.

Center of contingent universe 1D-9D is 5D. All things are drawn to the center, the whole. That's "Gravity". Our universal constants have convoluted answers. Leibniz Law of Sufficient Reason fixes this.

My favourite scientist is talking about politics these days. Whats more, you are taking sides. Most disappointing Sean.

They didn't outlaw abortion. Simply gave it to the states to decide. People seem a little obsessed with this right to abort a child late term, just really is a little morbid
