Barry Loewer is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers. Before that he did his PhD in philosophy at Stanford (!). Barry works largely in the philosophy of physics, the philosophy of science, and metaphysics, and is a good friend of and frequent collaborator with another denizen of the Robinson's Podcast universe, David Albert. It is their joint work on the “Mentaculus,” something approximating a “probability map of the universe,” that occupies much of the discussion in this episode. Robinson and Barry also talk about statistical mechanics and his upcoming book, What Breathes Fire into the Equations (Oxford University Press, to be released fall 2023 or early 2024), which is about laws, chances, and fundamental ontology.

The founders of statistical mechanics in the 19th century faced an uphill battle to convince their fellow physicists that the laws of thermodynamics could be derived from the random motions of microscopic atoms. This insight turns out to be even more important than they realized: the emergence of patterns characterizing our macroscopic world relies crucially on the increase of entropy over time. Barry Loewer has (in collaboration with David Albert) been developing a theory of the Mentaculus — the probability map of the world — that connects microscopic physics to time, causation, and other familiar features of our experience.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Barry Loewer received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Stanford University.

David Albert and Justin Clarke-Doane are both professors of philosophy at Columbia University. While David is one of the world's most respected philosophers of physics, Justin has staked his own claim as the authority on the intersection between mathematics and ethics. Though this episode was unfortunately plagued by some audio problems, it proved an exciting glimpse into a debate between two leading thinkers. Before a heated discussion concerning the nature of moral facts in a physical world, David, Justin, and Robinson discuss the problem of absolute vs. relative space, physics's potential to swallow up other disciplines, and the sophisticated relationship between physics proper and the philosophy of the same.

David shares how he started down the inventor path while still at college, what his experience has been like in the world of health entrepreneurship, and offers advice for upcoming medical inventors, innovators, and entrepreneurs. David shares how he's taking inventions all the way to market, how building a consumer brand is important without risking the medical validity of the product, and gives advice for people that have reached out to him saying they want to do the same as he did when he was young.

With school boards across New York reorganizing after voters went to the polls in May, an analysis has been released on the 2022 elections. The New York State School Boards Association looked at voter turnout, board member incumbency and the major issues. We speak with the Association's David Albert.

State Senator Laura Fine and David Albert, Ph.D., Director of the Division of Mental Health at the Illinois Department of Human Services, discuss the new 9-8-8 crisis hotline, in this episode of the Sound of the State.

Dr David Albert is a physician, inventor and serial entrepreneur. He studied at both Harvard and Duke University Medical School. In 2001, he sold Data Critical to GE in a deal that valued Data Critical at $45M. Perhaps his Magnum Opus: AliveCor has raised over $150M and creates devices which are able to take ECGs or heart traces — from anywhere, at anytime. It's newest innovation: The KardiaMobile Card is a credit card which can take an ECG — all whilst fitting into your wallet. He also has over 75 patents and 100 scientific publications. We speak about his formula and framework for innovating, lessons he's learnt from his buddies such as Eric Topol and Vinod Khosla and whether everything in Medicine should be democratised. I hope you enjoy. You can find me on Twitter @MustafaSultan and subscribe to my newsletter on www.musty.io

On this episode of the podcast we had Dr. David Albert of AliveCor, a medical doctor, scientist and entrepreneur who has founded several successful companies and ventures in MedTech like AliveCor and others that have been acquired by companies like GE Healthcare.

Dr. Albert has 75 issued patents and has lectured at the entrepreneurship programs at MIT and other universities. Dr. Albert graduated with honors from Harvard College and Duke University Medical Schools.

A new generation of medical technology has produced endless new rivers of biometric data, and attuned regular people to their own health in new and complicated ways. On today's episode of Raise the Line, we turn to a pioneer in connected medical devices, Dr. David Albert, to understand more about these influential trends. He founded AliveCor, whose smartphone-enabled heart monitors anticipated the remote monitoring technology that helped the medical system run during the pandemic. Dr. Albert believes the technology -- and the population-scale data it produces -- opens up new possibilities for preventative medicine and, as he tells host Shiv Gaglani, allows patients to be increasingly fluent in the dynamics of their personal health and empowered to take control of their medical future. Check out this lively discussion to hear about a “mobile-first” medical future, Dr. Albert's early forays into inventing medical technology, and how college wrestling prepared him for healthy aging.

Guest: Social and Political Activist, David Albert Jesus did not separate his political action from his spirituality by playing the “politics is non-spiritual” card. Christ was a huge political and social activist for the abused and oppressed. In the words of Reverends Emily Swan and Ken Wilson, authors of Solus Jesus, A Theology of Resistance, “They [political activism and spirituality] go together as easily as the humanity and the divinity of Jesus.”  In this episode, social and political activist David Albert and I discuss: How the health of our democracy is threatened by an unholy marriage of politics and compromised religious beliefs; The importance of everyone who identifies as Christian, or just a fan of Jesus, to courageously move themselves out of atmospheres of irresponsibility, hate, and disinformation; Why ego-motivated justifications for religious and political abuses of power are wake-up calls for all who desire to preserve a democracy that is for the people; and How the power of being informed about candidates and their policies enables us to vote responsibly in every election, up and down the ticket.

This is a tricky one since Lawrence Krauss's critique of Christianity/religion is potentially the most scientifically grounded (Though it actually isn't). And I'm not a physicist. However, given the character of Krauss's critic of Christianity, it soon becomes evident that the governing thought process of this atheist (i.e. antitheist) is the belief in the importance of undermining religion as an end itself, and in the process set science 'free': That is to make it untethered from any moralistic concern that may emanate from a religiously inspired teaching or worldview. Writing in the New Yorker in 2015, Krauss states: "In science, of course, the very word “sacred” is profane. No ideas, religious or otherwise, get a free pass. The notion that some idea or concept is beyond question or attack is anathema to the entire scientific undertaking". The problem with this view is that, if everything is subject to question and scientific scrutiny, then why not the fundamental rights that govern modern societies: That of life, liberty, and freedom from oppression, and to pursue one's happiness. A notable point of Lawrence Krauss's critic of God/Religion is his arguments for the origins of the universe. Supposedly from nothing. A matter that Christian apologists and scientists alike have confronted. With most notable secular push back against Lawrence Krauss's position and subsequent book: A Universe from Nothing by David Albert in the New York Times in 2012. My problem with Lawrence Krauss is a somewhat different one. You see the thing about people like Lawrence Krauss, whose beliefs and actions are driven by their obvious vendetta against religion is the very real impact that it is likely to have on Western culture and Western civilization. This is a much bigger subject that cannot be engaged here. But what the anti-religious critic advanced by the likes of Lawrence, notably against Christianity-since this is the religion of the West-the only real place where the scientific enterprise developed and as arisen to the lofty standards that it has today-is that it translates into a logical critic or attack on the spiritual foundations of the West. To undermine Christianity: intellectually, culturally, and ultimately politically only works to weaken the foundations of Western civilization. Further problematic is Krauss's elevation of science as some self-contained reality. That can or ought to operate with a mind of its own. Understand this, science in and of itself does nothing. Science is basically a set of rules and processes on how to go about studying the nature of reality: Which involves steps like forming hypotheses; collecting data to support or contradict it, developing theories; carrying out experiments, testing the results to validate or invalidate the original theory or hypothesis, etc. This scientific process in and of itself does not tell us what kind of experiments to conduct, what kind of scientific theories are worth developing and pursuing. And needless to say what kind of scientific applications are good or bad in terms of their immediate or ultimate effects on humanity and the world. This requires a moral framework that cannot be reduced to the scientific method, as there isn't one in the world of science. Krauss's attack on Christianity, and by extension Western culture, only works to undermine the very society that gave rise to the scientific method: one that is for the most part values the human.

 * PART II -- Real Science Radio on the Big Bang with Lawrence Krauss: (Hear also Krauss part I but for our written evidence against the big bang, keep reading here.) Creationist co-hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams present Bob's wide-ranging discussion with theoretical physicist (emphasis on the theoretical) Lawrence Krauss. These RSR programs air on America's most powerful Christian radio station, Denver's 50,000-watt AM 670 KLTT. Over time this web page will grow as we add the work of countless secular scientists who document widely accepted observational data, which facts taken individually and together challenge the atheistic big bang origins claim made by Krauss. * Krauss: "All evidence overwhelmingly supports the big bang": Mentioning some of the obvious studies and massive quantities of data (see list below) that at least apparently seems to strongly contradict fundamental big bang predictions, Bob offered Krauss a chance to dial back his written claim that "all evidence now overwhelmingly supports" the big bang (p. 6 in his book, and 3:45 into today's program, beginning with Krauss' question, "You're not a young earther, are you?"). Instead, Krauss dug in deeper. There is nothing objective about Lawrence Krauss. He comes across more like the high priest of a cult than a scientist willing to acknowledge and follow the data. Each of the major observations below require secondary assumptions and rescue devices, some of which have not even been invented yet, to keep these enormous quantities of scientific data from apparently falsifying the big bang and its standard claims for the age of the universe and for star and planetary formation (this list will grow including with additional references over the next months): RSR's List of Evidence Against the Big Bang: For the latest version of this list which includes links to dozens of peer-reviewed journal papers where even proponents themselves admit their major discoveries go against the predictions of their own big bang theory, see rsr.org/evidence-against-the-big-bang. Here's a summary: * Mature galaxies exist far, far away where the big bang predicts that only infant galaxies should exist. * Hundreds of galaxies are clustered out at tremendous distances where the big bang predicts that such clusters should not exist. * Spiral galaxies look “too perfect” because they are missing millions of years of their predicted collisions. * The surface brightness of the furthest galaxies is identical to that of the nearest galaxies, contradicting a central prediction of the big bang. * Nine billion years of synthesized heavy elements are missing from a trillion stars. That’s a lot. This study failed to confirm the fundamental expectation of the big bang’s theory of nuclear synthesis. * Not even one of the millions of stars ever analyzed is a supposed “first generation” star (aka Population III), contrary to big bang expectations. * The discovery of exoplanets, including hot Jupiters and one with a retrograde orbit, has completely falsified the big bang’s nebular hypothesis of solar system formation, as openly admitted by Mike Brown, the exoplanet database manager for NASA. * It is not a scientific statement but merely a philosophical one to claim that the universe has no center, and thus, the big bang’s central Copernican principle is not based on science but on philosophical bias, as widely acknowledged including by Stephen Hawking and Richard Feynman.* The most advanced three-dimensional map of more than a million galaxies seems to imply that the universe has a center. * Our sun is missing nearly 100% of the angular momentum (i.e., spin) that the big bang theories of stellar evolution and solar system formation predict that it should have. * There is an entire universe worth of missing antimatter if the big bang theory were true. * The big bang’s theory of chemical evolution is in crisis as inherently admitted with the National Academy of Sciences report titled, 11 Science Questions for the New Century which asks “How were the heavy elements from iron to uranium made?” with the journal Nature recently publishing a paper also admitting that even supernovae cannot produce our earth’s heavy elements. Today's Resource: For today's program we recommend RSR's Evidence Against the Big Bang video. * If our solar system’s heavy elements were produced in supernovae, then the sun and the earth are expected to have the same isotopes (versions) of elements like nitrogen and oxygen. But the sun has “40 percent less nitrogen-15 (compared to nitrogen-14)” than does the earth, and we have 7 percent less oxygen-16 relative to other isotopes, than does the sun. * The spiral galaxy’s beautiful arms are missing millions of years of expected deformation which lead proponents to assert the existence of the first of the hypothetical entities, dark matter, to prop up the big bang theory. * Superclusters of millions of galaxies exist yet the big bang predicts that gravity could not form them even in the supposed great age of the cosmos. * The astounding uniform temperature of the universe challenges the claim that the early universe would have been clumpy enough for galaxies to form. * While materialists have spent a century objecting to “catastrophism” here on earth where continent-wide evidence for such catastrophe exists, out in space, there are so many planetary “anomalies”, like Venus rotating backwards, Uranus rolling, and the highly elongated and even retrograde orbits of exoplanets, that despite the enormous distances between astronomical bodies, cosmologists today have become catastrophists. * The Sun rotates seven degrees off the ecliptic, and is missing 99% of its expected spin, with both observations providing powerful evidence against the big bang’s nebular hypothesis sub-model. * The infrared light that was supposed to be left over from star formation appears to not exist. * Hundreds of advanced-degreed scientists have publicly rejected the big bang. * The so-called “Axis of Evil”, confirmed most recently by the Planck satellite, appears to falsify the big bang’s Copernican principle of isotropy by displaying a preferred direction in the CMB. * Quasars typically have high redshifts (implying great distance) but they statistically cluster with low redshift galaxies (implying near distance), undermining confidence in the big bang’s foundational claim that redshift reliably indicates distance. * Contrary to any expectation of naturalism, the cosmos has astounding fine-tuning, which has led many big bang proponents to effectively admit the big bang’s inability to explain our existence. An increasing number of mainstream cosmologists therefore are resorting to a belief in the existence of countless trillions of universes, in hopes that, by mere chance, such a multiverse might explain the many wildly unlikely fortuitous circumstances that combine to enable our existence. * All evidence overwhelmingly supports the big bang? The world’s most popular scientists, like Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, and Neil deGrasse Tyson, at best stay silent and at worst abet their own side’s misrepresentation of the literature. The multinational multi-billion dollar science industry tolerates individual discoveries here and there which may require tweaking fundamental dogma. But what is not tolerated is the summarizing of widespread and diverse evidence that may question the very validity of such dogma. * Michael Crichton on Consensus: When the physician and writer Dr. Crichton asked, “When did ‘skeptic’ become a dirty word in science?” he answered his own question. When evidence is weak, the status quo appeals to “the consensus” with the aid of “the decline of the media [think Ira Flatow as in NPR's Science Friday] as an independent assessor of fact.” Taking advantage of all that, Krauss appeals to that consensus, as he alleged to us, “All scientists are Darwinists” (apparently, except for the thousands documented at rsr.org/doubters), and as he dismissed the hundreds of scientists who reject the big bang by implying that their expertise was in unrelated disciplines. Please consider, though, that when those who believe in the big bang claim consensus, consensus, there just might be evidence that disproves that consensus. * Krauss' Anthropic Circular Reasoning: Regarding the many fine-tuned parameters of the universe, like Krauss said to Enyart and atheists are content to trust, the Anthropic Principle explains all this, for otherwise, we wouldn't be here to notice. In response, Bob said to Lawrence, quoting Walter ReMine (1993, p. 61), that this is as satisfying as a doctor saying, "The reason that your father is deaf is because he can't hear." * Scientists Questioning or Rejecting the Big Bang: See rsr.org/scientists-doubting-darwin-and-the-big-bang. * Krauss on Credentials: Within ten seconds Lawrence Krauss contradicted himself, claiming at six minutes into today's program that, "Scientists don't argue on credentials", but only ten seconds earlier he had asked, "What department?" as a way of discrediting the hundreds of scientists who argue that much evidence contradicts the Big Bang. (And countering Krauss' claim that, "All scientists are Darwinists," for the hundreds of thousands of Ph.D.s and Masters in the sciences, including in the applied and biological sciences, see also rsr.org/scholars-doubting-darwin.) * Krauss Admits Misleading Title to Sell Books: An atheist Professor at City University of New York, Massimo Pigliucci (whom we've quoted recently when pointing out that PZ Myers is filthy), is glad that folks are "pressing Krauss on several of his non sequiturs." He quotes Columbia's David Albert, who holds a PhD in theoretical physics and who in the New York Times made the same argument, brilliantly though, that I gave to Krauss today, that the “physical stuff of the world" and "quantum field theories" "have nothing whatsoever to say on the subject of where those fields came from... or of why there should have been a world in the first place. Period.” And Pigliucci shows the "intellectual dishonesty" from Krauss' own words in The Atlantic, when challenged that his book has a misleading title, because his topic actually is "a quantum vacuum" which "has properties," which properties objectively are not nothing, as in Krauss' title, A Universe from Nothing. Lawrence replied, “I don’t think I argued that physics has definitively shown how something could come from nothing... if the ‘nothing’ of reality is full of stuff, then I’ll go with that." But when the Atlantic interviewer, Ross Andersen presses, "when I read the title of your book, I read it as 'questions about origins are over.'" To which Krauss responds: “Well, if that hook gets you into the book that’s great. But in all seriousness, I never make that claim. ... If I’d just titled the book ‘A Marvelous Universe,’ not as many people would have been attracted to [i.e., bought] it." Pigliucci too points out the dishonesty and chastises Krauss: "Claim what you wish to claim, not what you think is going to sell more copies of your book, essentially playing a bait and switch with your readers." Not learning from Krauss' earlier mistitled book, Richard Dawkins was also taken in by his friend's ruse, for he wrote the Afterword, clearly without having read the manuscript itself, because Dawkins stated that the book title "means exactly what it says." Not. * Missing Uniform Distribution of Radioactivity: The materialist theory on the origin of the elements in the periodic table claims that all of our radioactive elements were created in the explosion of stars (no longer supernovas, but now neutron stars and even black holes), but that would predict a relatively uniform distribution on Earth, at least throughout the crust, and possibly the mantle too. So in today's otherwise contentious interview, Krauss agreed with Enyart's statement that 90% of Earth's radioactivity (uranium, thorium, etc.) is located in the continental crust, and Krauss added, a mystery for him, that it tends to concentrate around granite! That is, that 90% is not in the mantle nor in the enormous amount of the crust which lies under the oceans, but our planet's radioactivity is concentrated in 1/3rd of 1% of the Earth's mass, in the continental crust. (Further, the release of it's heat has not yet reached a steady state.) Krauss offered a partial explanation: that uranium was originally evenly distributed throughout (an alleged) molten earth but being a large atom, it floated toward the surface. This the bias of this physicist led him to forget, apparently, that it is density, and not size, that causes things to float. Even denser than gold, uranium is one of the most dense elements (excluding atheists and other manmade phenomena). Further, for argument's sake, that would only explain the relative absence of radioactivity deep in the Earth, but would not explain uranium's distancing itself from the mantle and from the oceanic crust, nor its affinity for the continents and even, of all things, for granite. Further, under Krauss' belief in the widespread falsehood that the planet was once molten, if so, then the gold in the crust should have sunk to the core! The creationists, on the other hand, have a theory based on observational science as to why radioactivity is concentrated around granite. * Absurd Consistency of Uranium Isotopes IF Formed in Space: Google: origin of Earth's radioactivity. The top-ranked result is Walt Brown's hydroplate theory. See this also at rsr.org/radioactivity. Brown earned his Ph.D. from MIT. He writes: The isotopes of each chemical element have almost constant ratios with each other. ... Why is the ratio of 235U to 238U in uranium ore deposits so constant almost everywhere on Earth? One very precise study showed that the ratio is 0.0072842, with a standard deviation of only 0.000017. Obviously, the more time that elapses between the formation of the various isotopes (such as 235U and 238U) and the farther they are transported to their current resting places, the more varied those ratios should be. The belief that these isotopes formed in a supernova explosion millions of light-years away and billions of years before the Earth formed and somehow collected in small ore bodies in a fixed ratio is absurd. Powerful explosions would have separated the lighter isotopes from the heavier isotopes. Some radioisotopes simultaneously produce two or more daughters. When that happens, the daughters have very precise ratios to each other, called branching ratios or branching fractions. Uranium isotopes are an example, because they are daughter products of some even heavier element. Recall that the Proton-21 Laboratory has produced superheavy elements that instantly decayed. Also, the global flux of neutrons during the flood provided nuclei with enough neutrons to reach their maximum stability. Therefore, isotope ratios for a given element are fixed. Had the flux of neutrons originated in outer space, we would not see these constant ratios worldwide. Because these neutrons originated at many specific points in the globe-encircling crust, these fixed ratios are global. "Walt Brown is the Isaac Newton of our day." -Bob Enyart 

 * PART II -- Real Science Radio on the Big Bang with Lawrence Krauss: (Hear also Krauss part I but for our written evidence against the big bang, keep reading here.) Creationist co-hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams present Bob's wide-ranging discussion with theoretical physicist (emphasis on the theoretical) Lawrence Krauss. These RSR programs air on America's most powerful Christian radio station, Denver's 50,000-watt AM 670 KLTT. Over time this web page will grow as we add the work of countless secular scientists who document widely accepted observational data, which facts taken individually and together challenge the atheistic big bang origins claim made by Krauss. * Krauss: "All evidence overwhelmingly supports the big bang": Mentioning some of the obvious studies and massive quantities of data (see list below) that at least apparently seems to strongly contradict fundamental big bang predictions, Bob offered Krauss a chance to dial back his written claim that "all evidence now overwhelmingly supports" the big bang (p. 6 in his book, and 3:45 into today's program, beginning with Krauss' question, "You're not a young earther, are you?"). Instead, Krauss dug in deeper. There is nothing objective about Lawrence Krauss. He comes across more like the high priest of a cult than a scientist willing to acknowledge and follow the data. Each of the major observations below require secondary assumptions and rescue devices, some of which have not even been invented yet, to keep these enormous quantities of scientific data from apparently falsifying the big bang and its standard claims for the age of the universe and for star and planetary formation (this list will grow including with additional references over the next months): RSR's List of Evidence Against the Big Bang: For the latest version of this list which includes links to dozens of peer-reviewed journal papers where even proponents themselves admit their major discoveries go against the predictions of their own big bang theory, see rsr.org/evidence-against-the-big-bang.

While many people have come to know EKG technology thanks to Apple incorporating it into their watch, AliveCor has been doing it for much longer. Plus, there’s a big difference between a single lead EKG and a 6 lead EKG. Not to mention, AliveCor offers a direct to consumer KardiaCare product that allows a patient to access a board-certified cardiologist to review a patient’s EKG readings. Plus, AliveCor recently announced a suite of AI solutions for personal ECG that will be available in 2021. To learn more about what AliveCor is doing to bring EKGs to patients, we sat down with Dr. David Albert, Founder and Chief Medical Officer, AliveCor. We discuss the full suite of AliveCor products and the differences between the single lead EKG vs the 6 lead EKG. Dr. Albert also shares whether all patients should be regularly doing an EKG or not. Plus, he highlights when having a regular EKG is extremely valuable to a patient. We also talk about how a doctor would use the AliveCor product. Should every doctor have one in the office? Should doctors be prescribing an at home EKG product like AliveCor to their patients?

Introduction [00:55]Dr. David Albert of AliveCor explains how patient-collected data can solve some of the problems facing clinical trials during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the long-term outlook on changes in data collection for clinical research.What is the AliveCor KardiaMobile 6L and how does it work? [01:43]The AliveCor KardiaMobile 6L is a 6-lead device for patient-collected ECG/EKG reads.How is the KardiaMobile 6L being used today in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent changes in FDA regulations? [03:21]AliveCor received the FDA’s approval for emergency use of the KardiaMobile 6L. Some drugs being tested as treatments for COVID-19 may cause QT prolongation, potentially leading to a serious cardiac arrhythmia. The KardiaMobile 6L is capable of monitoring QTc and able to keep people safe while they’re using experimental COVID-19 treatments.How can the KardiaMobile 6L make it easier for doctors to keep patients safe during COVID-19? [05:14]Taking ECGs in hospitals treating patients with coronavirus requires staff to sterilize the machine and use personal protective equipment, when those resources may be better used on the “front lines” in hospitals. Now, using the KardiaMobile 6L, patients are able to complete their own ECGs / EKGs without having to use valuable PPE or put ECG/ EKG techs at risk.How do you think we can solve the problem of successfully conducting clinical trials today during stay-at-home mandates?[07:15]There are increasing demands from sponsors who want to do virtual trials or conduct trials within unique venues, like refugee camps. In these cases, the KardiaMobile 6L can provide a solution to measure the potential impacts of a treatment on a patient’s QT interval.Should clinical trials sponsors have any concerns about the integrity of remote ECG / EKG data collection?[08:54]The KardiaMobile technology has proven that a person if trained correctly and with practice, can collect clinical-quality ECGs at home by themselves. It’s also been demonstrated that this technology can be used even in difficult populations.Do you think there’s going to be a permanent move towards at-home monitoring in clinical research following the changes put in place in response to COVID-19?[11:00]COVID-19 has been the greatest catalyst to change in primary care; for example, telemedicine has become a standard way of providing care. Patients have responded positively to it. This sentiment will likely carry over into the clinical research industry.What do you see as the benefits of at-home ECG / EKG collection by the patient?[12:28]People are more relaxed and comfortable at home, which can lead to improved data (similar to the white coat effect in collecting blood pressure data at home.) Sometimes patients may experience conditions like atrial fibrillation at home; by the time they get to the hospital or doctor, it’s passed. With personal ECG/ EKG devices, patients can document their experiences without ever going to the doctor. Remote management and remote patient monitoring are trends that are here to stay following COVID-19.How do you think remote data collection solutions will continue to evolve? What other trends do you see coming in the industry?[15:09]“Digital health” is just becoming health. The smartphone is now incorporated into every part of our lives; that’s going to become the principal entry point for many people into healthcare. Smart devices keep becoming more and more sophisticated, and we’ll continue to see more remote monitoring and attempts to prevent illness by catching issues early and encouraging changes in lifestyle and healthcare.

For our season 6 kickoff, Nina Rupp hosts two very special guests in an episode that is packed with information surrounding various Covid-19 reporting and insights. First, Nina catches up with Tessa Clark, a Project Runway alum who also designs her own brand, Grind and Glaze, which she sells at Idlewild, Tessa's exquisite, multi-brand boutique. Tessa and Nina delve into Christian Siriano's PPE initiative (Siriano mentored Tessa on Project Runway) and discuss all things fashion in the time of Covid-19. Next, Nina is joined by David Albert, Managing Director of Engine Insights, who shares intergenerational insights from CARAVAN® omnibus surveys, which quickly capture insights from thousands of people around the globe.

Roxana Mehran talks with David Albert, Bray Patrick-Lake, Renato Lopes, and Deepak Bhatt about wearable devices and what’s ahead.

Mathias Frisch (Maryland) gives a talk at the MCMP/MCTS Workshop on Laws of Nature (17 December, 2012) titled "Why Physics Can't Explain Everything". Abstract: Barry Loewer and David Albert have argued for a view on laws that is at once pragmatic (and takes nomic regularities are summaries of aspects of the Humean mosaic that are useful for beings like us) and 'imperialistic' or foundationalist. I argue in this paper that there is a deep tension between the two planks of the account and suggest that it is the pragmatism and not the foundationalism that is worth keeping.

Quantum mechanics is our best theory of how reality works at a fundamental level, yet physicists still can’t agree on what the theory actually says. At the heart of the puzzle is the “measurement problem”: what actually happens when we observe a quantum system, and why do we apparently need separate rules when it happens? David Albert is one of the leading figures in the foundations of quantum mechanics today, and we discuss the measurement problem and why it’s so puzzling. Then we dive into the Many-Worlds version of quantum mechanics, which is my favorite (as I explain in my forthcoming book Something Deeply Hidden). It is not David’s favorite, so he presents the case as to why you should be skeptical of Many-Worlds. (The philosophically respectable case, that is, not a vague unease at all those other universes.)

Episode 1 Unless you traveled here from the future (or the past?!), Dr. Albert explains why everything you think you know about the direction of time is probably wrong. Don't worry! Your mind's not actually bent, your brain just thinks it is! David Albert is Frederick E. Woodbridge Professor of Philosophy and Director of the M.A. Program in The Philosophical Foundations of Physics at Columbia University in New York.

Dr. David Albert is a visionary physician and innovator in the field of digital health. As an entrepreneur he has developed medical products and nurtured new technologies over the last 30 years. A graduate of Harvard College and Duke University Medical School, Dr. Albert has founded three tech companies, InnovAlarm, Lifetone Technology and AliveCor his most recent endeavor, which has developed the mobile ECG or electrocardiogram sensor. The Kardia mobile device, which is aimed at everyone, detects and analyzes heart rhythm with a simple sensor and mobile app. The ECG - sometimes referred to as EKG - is the electrical activity of the heartbeat and the data could help to detect signs of heart disease. In this in-depth interview, recorded at the USC Center for Body Computing Conference, Dr Albert explains his vision for future medical technology, which he says has the potential to impact disease, aging and enhance human longevity. SHOW NOTES David Albert (@DrDave01) is the founder and Chief Medical Officer at AliveCor (@AliveCor ‏). LLAMA host Peter Bowes met David at the 2017 USC Center for Body Computing Conference, where he was presented, by Dr Leslie Saxon, with the inaugural USC CBC Digital Health Innovator Award. Watch videos from the conference here. “Peace of mind is often times as important as a piece of medical information. Anxiety and stress impact our lives, impact our longevity.” "I shame my children in their work out habits and that's had a positive impact on them. I think we can all have an impact on our fellow man and whether or not I live a year longer or not, the quality of my life will be better and I think that's key. You know it's not just longevity it's quality." “You can have a direct impact with your lifestyle on your longevity and on your functional longevity, that is your quality of life, at an older age." “Affluence impacts longevity anywhere in the world so if you are more affluent you will live longer. Now that's the kind of discrimination that I think we have to work to fight." "Knowing facts is not nearly as important as being able to adapt to a changing environment and being able to continuously learn."

While we are all too familiar with YouTube sensations like Gangnam Style, Justin Bieber, and laughing babies that have spawned viral phenomenons, only one Youtube sensation can claim to have forever changed the landscape of digital health. On this episode, Inventor extraordinaire, Dr. David Albert shares the founding story of AliveCor – the first FDA approved portable EKG device that is operated through your smartphone. Since its approval, the device has been attributed to saving countless lives. Dr. Albert reveals the how a home produced YouTube video changed the course of his career, what inspired him to invent AliveCor, what it’s like to disrupt a largely incumbent and resistant industry, how his device was used to save a life while 35,000 feet in the air, and he even shares the story behind his signature clothing attire. All this and more on today’s episode. Now, That’s Unusual. About Dr. Dave Albert Dr. Dave Albert is the founder, CEO and CMO of AliveCor, a company that leverages machine learning techniques to enable proactive heart care. Their signature product, the FDA-cleared Kardia Mobile, is the most clinically validated mobile ECG solution on the market. AliveCor was recognized by Fast Company as one of 2017’s most innovative companies in health. Dr. Albert began his career as a ‘mad scientist’ and inventor as a student at Duke Medical School. After his father suffered a heart attack, Albert commissioned an engineering graduate student to build a portable heartrate monitor for his dad. When that grad student failed to deliver, he made the decision to take a leave of absence from medical school to pursue engineering and build a device himself. Albert left academic cardiology in 1984 to start his first company, Corazonix, followed by Data Critical Corp in 1991. He spent four years as GE’s Chief Scientist before founding Lifetone Technology, a startup that developed home safety and health monitoring technologies. In 2011, he became a YouTube sensation via a video demonstrating his landmark invention, the AliveCor Smartphone ECG. He has 55 issued US patents, and he has authored 70-plus scientific abstracts in the cardiology space. As a physician, maker, and serial entrepreneur, Dr. Albert is on a mission to save lives, one invention at a time.  Key Interview Takeaways Dr. Albert’s success stems from the fact that he identifies a need and creates a tool to meet that need. He is a pioneer in the digital health space, leveraging available technology to build tools like the iPhone ECG system. Dr. Albert’s viral YouTube demo of the smartphone ECG was happenstance. When he uploaded the video, Albert clicked ‘share with LinkedIn connections’ and within a few days the video had 150,000 views – which resulted in calls from several media outlets, venture capitalists, the FDA and Apple. The key to Dr. Albert’s success with the mobile ECG was validation. It took money and time to get people to publish studies, to prove that the tool worked, and to gain acceptance and adoption from doctors ‘in the trenches.’ It is possible to get people to buy medical devices and use them on their own. Alivecor’s Kardia Mobile ECG had 45,000 unique users in March, and that number has grown every month for five years. Digital health has the potential to fill in the gaps in continuity of care. Tools like Kardia Mobile ECG track patients and tell the story of what is happening when the patient is outside the clinical setting. Digital health has been held back by the fact that its implementation requires proof – which takes time. Investors must be willing to stick with it through the process of clinical adoption. As AI becomes a powerful force, technology will help us make better decisions and personalize health, yet doctors will never be obsolete due to the ‘wet’ nature of biology and the emotional quotient required.

On the Wednesday September 4th, 2013 broadcast at 10AM Pacific 1PM Eastern our special guest is visionary Dave Albert, MD, the Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Alivecor. According to the Doctors Channel: 'Mobile phones and diagnostic devices are merging to provide quality ?clinical measurements from anywhere. David Albert, MD, Founder & Chief Medical Officer, AliveCor, demonstrates the AliveCor ?ECG, an iPhone accessory that will allow both physicians and patients to ?capture and transmit clinical quality heart ECG data using their smart phones'. Per their website the Alivcor Heart Monitor is a  '..quality, single-channel ECG recorder that leverages the power, display, and communication capabilities of the iPhone 4, 4S and 5. ' 'The Heart Monitor does not use power from the iPhone, but utilizes a 3.0V coin cell battery that will take up to roughly 10,000, 30-second ECGs before needing replacement. The Heart Monitor also uses AliveCor's proprietary wireless communication protocol to communicate with the app, and requires no pairing between the iPhone and the Heart Monitor.' We'll discuss Dave's journey into the digital health space, his view of the market and the opportunities he sees near and intermediate term. Join us!  

This is a supplemental episode of our podcast series. In this very different episode of the Podcast for Social Research, Michael, Christine, and I (Ajay) sit down with Professor David Albert to discuss quantum physics, the history of 20th and 21st century physics, the philosophy of science and a host of related issues, including his recent – and sometimes heated – exchange with Lawrence Kraus on Kraus's recent book. As this episode is so different from our others – and led primarily through Albert's discussion of quantum physics – the Notations section will be a brief bibliography without time-stamps. We hope you enjoy!* *- Michael and I will be recording a follow-up discussion of this discussion soon! So look forward to that as well.

David summarizes his distinction between inference by prediction/retrodiction and inference by measurement, and reiterates that this can make plausible the claim that the special status of the Past-Hypothesis can ground the asymmetry in our epistemic relations to the past and future. He goes through some objections to this view that came up in the class before, which he and Tim then discuss. David relates this epistemic asymmetry to the time-asymmetries in causation, counterfactual conditionals, and our apparent ability to elicit change in the world. He argues that the very facts that make the past epistemically more accessible than the future also makes our causal handle on the future far far weaker than our handle on the past. There is a discussion of how this is supposed to fit with our pre-theoretic intuition that we have NO causal handle on the past. Tim weighs in on some of these points, criticizing David's desire for a "mechanical" explanation for temporal asymmetries. He argues that our notion of a mechanical explanation already presupposes a substantive temporal asymmetry. David discusses the relation between the Mentaculus (which he takes to be the source of mechanical explanations) and the notion that time passes/has a direction. Tim responds and puts some pressure on David's claim that these two are largely independent. There is a lengthy discussion of this point.

Tim opens with a brief point about the postulation of a very low entropy past state. He contrasts the claim that, if this state is not the initial state of the world, that the entropy profile of the universe will be symmetric (intuitively, with a global minimum at the moment of the past hypothesis) and the claim that the macroscopic profile of the universe will be symmetric in the same way. David takes some time to respond to this point. David then turns the discussion to the inferential role of the past hypothesis. He starts by identifying two kinds of inferences that can be used to determine the state of the world at times other than the present: Inference by Prediction/Retrodiction (in which one takes facts about the present and applies the laws to determine facts about the past or future) and Inference by Measurement (in which one takes facts about the present plus facts about certain past events and determines facts about the past or future). Inference by Measurement is, David points out, much stronger, but its appeal to certain past events is in need of justification. David argues that the event postulated by the past hypothesis is precisely the privileged past state that can do this inferential work. Tim asks whether these inference types really exhaust the relevantly available inference procedures. He also wonders whether the sorts of inferences David wants to call inferences by measurement really always have to appeal to facts about states other than the present, specifically the past hypothesis. There is a long discussion of the predictive centrality/fundamentality of the past hypothesis and of the nature of records.

Barry Loewer is the guest lecturer for this class. Tim starts by recapitulating the notion of typicality introduced in the previous lecture. Tim, David and Barry then engage in a debate about Tim's view of the nature of statistical explanation. Barry then gives a summary of the difference between his and David's view of statistical mechanics and Tim's view. He starts by arguing that one main point of contention is the "imperialistic" nature of his and David's project. A second main point of contention is the nature of laws and time, which is the topic for the remainder of the lecture. Barry contrasts two conceptions of laws. The first one is the Humean view of laws on which laws of nature are reducible to facts about the Humean mosaic, which goes hand-in-hand (Barry claims) with a view of time on which time doesn't have an intrinsic direction. The second is Tim's view, on which laws of nature are a primitive category in our ontology, and which (Barry argues) goes naturally with a view of time on which it has an intrinsic direction.

Time Maudlin starts by distinguishing and characterizing three different classes of explanations of thermodynamic phenomena previously studied in the seminar (appeals to symmetry principles, to random walks in the phase space, or to features of the actual micro-dynamics of isolated systems). He explains the various ways in which the standard measure over phase space comes into play in these explanations. David Albert then examines the various ways in which one might justify appealing to this standard measure; both Maudlin and Albert reject justifications that appeal to principles of indifference, but disagree on whether the measure is to be justified solely on empirical grounds (David) or by its natural character (Tim). In the last part of the class, David starts explaining the reversibility objections raised against Maxwell’s and Boltzmann’s arguments.

In this lecture, Tim Maudlin continues the statistical mechanical account of the velocity distribution of particles in a monatomic gas, and how this distribution evolves over time. David Albert and Tim disagree about the status of the 'Stosszahlansatz'', the assumption that the location of particles in the system, and the locations of critical regions required to impact on other particles, are statistically independent of each other. Tim argues that when an assumption of statistical independence such as this one is reached, no further explanation of the independence is required. David begins to argue that even in these cases, one must explain the independence by appealing to laws. Tim and David begin to outline their differing conceptions of laws.

David Albert begins with a brief discussion of an issue raised in the last lecture- whether you can define an entropy for a non-equilibrium system. He and Tim Maudlin agree that while the steps along the reversible route must involve equilbrium states, partitioning can still be used to define the entroy of a non-equilibrium system. Tim returns to the discussion of statistical mechanics began in the last lecture, addressing how we can calculate and explain the velocity distribution of gas particles at equilibrium. Following work by Boltzman and Maxwell, we can model the gas as a system of particles that colide, and calculate the 'critical areas' which particles of a given velocity must be in if they are to colide with other gas particles in a given time. We then have a dynamics for how a velocity distribution will evolve. By assuming the 'Stosszahlansatz'', that the number of particles in the critical areas is proportional to the number of particles in the system, we can show the system will evolve towards a particular distribution.

In this lecture, David Albert continues his introduction to thermodynamics, explaining how the entropy of a system is defined and determined in thermodynamic terms. This requires distinguishing between reversible and irreversible paths between two states of a system, and envisaging how pistons and heat baths can be used to mimic the irreversible transfer of heat between a warm body and a cool one. Tim Maudlin and David disagree on whether the entropy of a non-equilibrium system can be defined. Tim begins his discussion of statistical mechanics by considering equilibrium states- where the macroscopic description of the state no longer changes over time. (He also introduces the problem of the adiabatic piston--for some systems, it is controversial to define the equilibrium state.) We then consider how the macroscopic thermodynamic properties of the gas can be understood using a statistical mechanical model, which treat the gas as a system of monotonic moving particles. At equilibrium, such a system will tend towards the Maxwell-Boltzmann state, where the velocities of gas particles are randomly distributed. He argues that in order to explain this, we need to appeal to the dynamics of the system, and how the particles are interacting. Appeal to statistics, without dynamics, are not enough.

This is the second lecture in the joint NYU/Columbia graduate course on philosophy of statistical explanation and cosmology. It's David Albert's first lecture, and in it he introduces the main ideas he'll discuss in the class, with some contrast between his approach and that of our other lecturer, Tim Maudlin (NYU).
