Is quantum computing just a fancy new buzzword, or is it the next revolution in physics?
I had the honor of discussing this with none other than John Preskill. This was one of John's only podcast interviews. We went deep, discussing artificial intelligence, the simulation hypothesis, lessons from Richard Feynman, and more!
John Preskill is the Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology, where he is also the Director of the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter. He is one of the most prolific and influential scientists of our time. He coined the term “quantum supremacy” and is a leading scientist in quantum information science and computation. Preskill's work on magnetic monopoles in Grand Unified Theories highlighted flaws in cosmological models, later addressed by cosmic inflation.
Known for his bets with Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne, Preskill was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2014.

What is time? Is it just a ticking clock, or is it something more profound?
In this thought-provoking episode of Into the Impossible, Stephen Wolfram challenges everything we know about time, offering a revolutionary computational perspective that could forever change how we understand the universe.
Stephen Wolfram is a computer scientist, physicist, and businessman. He is the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research and the creator of Mathematica, Wolfram Alpha, and Wolfram Language. Over the course of 4 decades, he has pioneered the development & application of computational thinking. He has been responsible for many discoveries, inventions & innovations in science, technology, and business.
He argues that time is the inevitable progress of computation in the universe, where simple rules can lead to complex behaviors. This concept, termed computational irreducibility, implies that time has a rigid structure and that our perception of it is limited by our computational capabilities. Wolfram also explores the relationship between time, space, and gravity, suggesting that dark matter might be a feature of the structure of space.
Tune in to discover the true nature of time.
Key Takeaways:
00:00:00 Intro
00:00:51 The true nature of time
00:24:42 The role of computational irreducibility in thermodynamics
00:29:52 The Ruliad and the nature of observers
00:53:28 The role of gravity in the computational universe
01:06:14 Dark matter and the discreteness of space
01:12:54 Paradigm shifts in science and technology
01:20:18 Exploring the cosmic microwave background (CMB)

On November 6, 2024 UCSD Prof Brian Keating spoke at UC Riverside Public Lecture Series.
Explore one of the most profound questions in cosmology: Was There a Big Bang? Join Dr. Brian Keating in this captivating talk as he dives into the origins of the universe, the concept of the Big Bang, and the revolutionary discoveries shaping modern astrophysics. Learn about groundbreaking experiments like the Simons Observatory and BICEP2, the challenges of studying cosmic relics like the Cosmic Microwave Background, and the thrilling quest to understand whether our universe is unique or part of a vast multiverse.
Dr. Keating weaves together science, philosophy, and humor to address three fundamental mysteries:
• How did the universe begin? (00:09:00)
• Is there evidence for a multiverse? (00:16:30)
• What does it mean for humanity to explore these cosmic questions? (00:25:15)
Featuring anecdotes from Nobel laureates, insights into inflationary theory, and the humility of scientific discovery, this talk challenges the boundaries of what we know about existence itself. A must-watch for anyone curious about the cosmos and our place within it.

Does 1x1 equal 2? Is gravity a form of electricity? And is the periodic table based on... sound?
These are just some of the outrageous claims made by Terrence Howard on the Joe Rogan Experience.
I watched all 8 hours of Howard’s appearances on JRE with and without Eric Weinstein …so you don’t have to .
As a professor, I cannot let such claims stand, especially when they are broadcast on a platform as large as the Joe Rogan Experience. That’s why today, I will systematically debunk every single one of them and explain the importance of checking your sources.
Tune in.
Key Takeaways:
00:00 Intro
00:28 Always check your sources!
01:12 Terrence’s claims on Joe Rogan
04:31 What is the spiral periodic table?
15:47 1x1=3?
22:01 Is gravity electricity?
33:18 Does Terrence really have 97 patents?

,1,The US has reached a crucial milestone.
According to the Missile Defense Agency., the Defense Department’s advanced missile tracking satellites logged their first views of a hypersonic flight test.
Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) satellites were able to track a hypersonic system.
MDA didn’t disclose the date of the flight, which took off from Wallops Island in Virginia.
The agency said in a June 14 statement, “Initial reports show the sensors successfully collected data after launch. MDA will continue to assess flight data over the next several weeks.”
Viewers may note, that the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and Space Development Agency (SDA) are actively working on components of a hypersonic missile defense system to protect against hypersonic weapons and other emerging missile threats. This includes developing the tracking and transport layers of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) and various interceptor programs.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why successful tracking of hypersonic flight by US HBTSS satellites is a crucial development ?
