如果一切都是註定的,那我此刻的努力、此刻正在受的苦,到底還有沒有意義?這個問題,人類問了幾千年。從牛頓到愛因斯坦,從量子力學到電腦科學,最理性的那些頭腦,用盡一生想回答的,其實都是同一件事:人生,究竟是不是早就被決定好了?這一集,我們會一路走過決定論的鐵牆、量子力學的迷霧,直到一位計算科學家用一張黑白圖案,在這堵牆上鑿出一道光——然後,在兩千五百年前佛陀的教導裡,找到真正能帶著走的答案。這不是要你認命,也不是廉價的安慰。而是當你看懂「被決定」與「無法快轉」可以同時為真的時候,你會第一次明白:你此刻的每一步,為什麼真的算數。▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
De fleste har hørt om Schrödingers kat – tankeeksperimentet, der blev et ikon for kvantemekanikkens mærkelige paradokser og satte gang i debatter mellem giganter som Einstein og Bohr. Men det var ikke katten, der sikrede Erwin Schrödinger hans Nobelpris. Allerede i 1933 blev han hædret for sin bølgeligning, som beskriver, hvordan partikler som elektroner opfører sig, og som blev et af kvantefysikkens vigtigste værktøjer. Bag den videnskabelige succes gemte sig dog et privatliv, der ofte vakte opsigt. Gang på gang drog han videre – fra by til by, fra universitet til universitet. Med en skygge, der fulgte ham, som en kat med flere liv, der altid fandt nye begyndelser.Afsnittet er skrevet og tilrettelagt af Daniel StagstedFortalt af Lauge Hendriksen. Tor Arnbjørn er producer.

This episode was a particular joy for me. I had the honor to talk with Jacob Howland. We start with LSD—talking about it, that is — go back to the steam engine in ancient Greece to return to the 20th century's nuclear bomb and today's artificial intelligence. What is the interplay of the human condition with ever more potent technology? What constitutes progress, education, and how can we deal with the challenges of our time? Jacob Howland served as Provost and Dean of the Intellectual Foundations Program at the University of Austin from 2022 to 2025, and before that, as McFarlin Professor of Philosophy at the University of Tulsa. He is the author of five books on Plato, Kierkegaard, and the Talmud, and over sixty articles on literature, politics, and the academy for general readers. He will be a Distinguished Visiting Professor in the School of Civic Leadership at the University of Texas during the academic year 2026-27. I was intrigued by a conversation Jacob had with Jordan Peterson talking about the CIA gets its hands on LSD. Jacob described the situation as “This is potent stuff, what can we do with it?” Was this a special case or is this our general approach to innovation? Is innovation thus simply reasoning backwards? What is technology? Since when do we speak of technology? “The marshalling or harnessing of significant social resources for the explicit purpose of advancing and applying science.” Mastering and possession of nature, as Descartes put it, is a core aspect of that. During that process, is the focus put too much on the means, while the ends might get lost? “The means justify the end? […] We can do this, therefore we should do it.” Innovation and the mindset of the time — do people even understand what was just invented? Example: the steam engine in antiquity. How does the world appear to people in antiquity, in the Christian tradition, and later in the modern age? Or in other words: when did transforming the world become an objective? Descartes already understands that: “Desire is implicitly infinite.” This shifts the relationship between man and world. In what way specifically? “When we take away the limits of desire, we open up an infinite and unlimited desire for wealth, an unlimited desire for new devices, conveniences and so forth.” Descartes already expresses that if we become the masters of nature, we might be able to find a way to limit the infirmities of old age and to extend life. What was the role of Francis Bacon in The New Atlantis? What role did he play for science? Contemplating the history of technology and science, it appears we are treating new inventions and innovations like children — even those with extraordinary potential. How could we have survived this attitude? “Technology contains its own fatality.” What changed between the nuclear bomb and the advent of artificial intelligence? “We are going to have to trust AI more and more, but we don't actually know if it is trustworthy.” What can we learn from Greek mythology about these complexities of technology? What is Pandora's box? “We exchange one kind of fatality for another.” Technology can be transgressive and totalising. How? “If the idea is to remove all limits, which would be a way of being like God, then, because we are human beings, we will just descend into chaos. […] You can take human beings out of chaos, but you cannot take the chaos out of human beings.” Is it true that interesting things happen at the edge of chaos, as Stuart Kauffman expressed it? “When you just have order without the vitality that comes from transgression, you have decay, you have fossilised formalism.” Henry Adams stated, about 100 years ago: Can the speed of change become too fast for human societies and thus fundamentally destabilising? “We have a hard time holding two opposing thoughts in our mind.” But this seems to be increasingly important — a fundamental human skill, in fact. How is this important to assess progress? What changed in the attitude towards progress, especially with young people? “Moderns and late moderns (us) believe that we can solve problems.” The way we address complex problems was discussed in other episodes. Noteworthy seems a quotation by Thomas Sowell: “There are no solutions, only trade-offs” Can we actually solve a problem in a complex “wicked” environment? How does this help us to understand how technology works? Why is maintenance at the centre of a complex techno-social society? What does that mean specifically? How does politics work, and why will we never arrive at morally perfect situations? Why is impatience rising and creating unreasonable expectations? Why is humility of huge importance in dealing with complex problems, for instance in science? On the other hand, why is it a bad idea to be afraid of your own shadow? “I am more concerned by what the bomb is doing already to young people,” C. S. Lewis. So, how do we go along, surrounded by radical uncertainty? What does this mean for science? “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts,” Richard Feynman. “You are dealing with a real scientist when that scientist says: here is what we don't know.” In contrast to this, remember Anthony Fauci: “I am Science.” What is the role of generalists versus specialists to resolve or manage some of these issues? What about different perspectives of time? “The emphasis in our lives today is on the present. What is happening right now.” Where is expertise, what is the interplay between specialist knowledge and generalist “connecting tissue”? “I have never let my ignorance interfere with anything I wanted to study.” How is this relevant to living a decent and flourishing human life? But to make it even bolder: Do we have such stagnation in science and society because we have so few generalists? As a closing question: If the mission is to save (American) education, what are we supposed to do, and do we even have a chance still? “Harvard College taught little, and that little, ill. But it left the mind open, supple, and ready to receive knowledge,” Henry Adams. Could we at least get back to this situation again? “How many universities can we say that about? We have not succeeded in that. […] At the end of the day, we are suffering from a crisis of meaning. Any way we give people more meaning is significant.” How can we do that? In company with other people, ideally. There is hope, as Jacob states at the end of the conversation. We are at the start of a reconstruction, as Douglas Murray put it: “We should be the reconstructionists. The deconstructionists knew something about how to take things apart but, like children with bicycles, had no idea how to put them back together. […] We have the choice either to live in the wastelands or to rebuild them.” Other Episodes Episode 148: Künstliche Vernunft?

On National Science Day (28 February), we revisit an unexpected intellectual bridge. Nobel Prize–winning physicist Erwin Schrödinger engaged deeply with Vedanta and the Upanishads while reflecting on consciousness and reality. This short explores how Indian philosophical thought influenced a modern scientist's worldview, without collapsing science into mysticism.National Science Day in India commemorates scientific inquiry. It is also an opportunity to remember that science and philosophy have long informed one another.#NationalScienceDay #Feb28 #Schrodinger #QuantumPhysics #Vedanta #Upanishads #Consciousness #IndianThought #PhilosophyOfScience

The Consciousness Debate: Cosmic Field or Biological Marvel?Where does consciousness come from? Is it a mysterious energy field we tune into, or a magnificent product of our own biology? In this gripping episode of The Debate, we dive headfirst into the ultimate riddle, pitting two fundamentally opposed views against each other in a clash of science, philosophy, and profound human experience.Arguing for the revolutionary “consciousness field” model, our first speaker posits that consciousness is a fundamental, non-local force woven into the fabric of the cosmos—a cosmic internet to which the brain is merely a biological antenna. Drawing on the insights of quantum pioneers like Max Planck and Erwin Schrödinger, this perspective suggests we don't create consciousness, but rather filter it from a universal source. This radical idea promises to explain everything from sudden genius to what happens when we die.Challenging this is the emergent view, which grounds consciousness firmly in the living body. Here, consciousness isn't a signal from the void, but a stunning achievement of biological self-organization. Through the lens of "autopoiesis," our second speaker argues that mind arises from the brain's constant, dynamic interaction with the world—a complex dance of neurons, senses, and environment that actively brings forth our reality.The debate ignites over extraordinary evidence. How can we explain the instant mathematical genius of Srinivasa Ramanujan, who claimed his formulas were divine gifts in dreams? Or acquired savants who gain profound musical or artistic abilities after a head injury? Is this a "download" from a universal field, or simply the unlocking of the brain's own dormant potential?The confrontation reaches its peak with the mystery of near-death experiences. Can consciousness exist when the brain has shut down? One side sees proof of a mind leaving the body; the other points to plausible, if extreme, neurological explanations. The discussion expands to encompass quantum entanglement, the structure of ant colonies, and the very nature of reality itself.This is more than an academic exercise. It's a profound inquiry into who and what we are. Are we transient biological machines, or eternal fragments of a universal mind? Join us for a journey to the frontier of science and spirit, where the answers we seek could redefine the very nature of existence.Keywords: #Consciousness #Emergenttheory #NonLocal #Consciousness #Panpsychism #Neuroscience #Quantum #Physics #NDE #Savant #HardProblem #Podcast #Debate.

My guest today is Dan Nicholson, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at George Mason University, here to talk about his little book, What Is Life? Revisited. Erwin Schrödinger's What Is Life is a famous book that people point to as having predicted DNA and influenced and inspired many well-known biologists ushering in the molecular biology revolution. But Schrödinger was a physicist, not a biologist, and he spent very little time and effort toward understanding biology. What was he up to, why did he write this "famous little book"? Schrödinger had an agenda, a physics agenda. He wanted to save the older deterministic version of quantum physics from the new indeterministic version. When Dan was on the podcast a few years ago, we talked about the machine view of biological systems, how everything has become a "mechanism", and how that view fails to capture what modern science is actually telling us, that organisms are unlike machines in important ways. That work of Dan's led him down this path to Schrödinger's What Is Life, which he argues was a major contributor to that machine metaphor so ubiquitous today in biology. One of the reasons I'm interested in this kind of work is because the cognitive sciences, including neuroscience and artificial intelligence, inherited this mechanistic perspective, and swallowed it so hard that if you don't include the word "mechanism" in your research paper, you're vastly decreasing your chances of getting your work published, when in fact the mechanistic perspective is one super useful perspective among many.

What if music isn't just entertainment—but the very architecture of reality?In this paradigm-shifting episode we explore the radical proposition that vibration is not merely a metaphor. From ancient philosophy to modern neuroscience, near-death experiences to channeled symphonies, we trace a breathtaking arc across time and consciousness to uncover a unified theory: that sound, frequency, and resonance are the keys to understanding who we are, where we come from, and what reality truly is.We begin with the ancients. Pythagoras' “music of the spheres” and Kepler's celestial harmonics weren't poetic musings—they were mathematical assertions that the cosmos itself is structured like a divine instrument. From there, we zoom into the microcosm: the human being as vibrational receiver. Drawing on metaphysical sources like Andrew Jackson Davis, we explore the idea that every atom is a string in a divine orchestra, and that alignment—feeling “centered,” “in tune,” or “in one accord”—is not just metaphorical, but literal. Discord, then, becomes vibrational misalignment, a friction against the grain of existence.This sets the stage for one of the most compelling bodies of evidence: near-death experiences (NDEs). Across cultures and contexts, experiencers report hearing indescribably beautiful music—not as entertainment, but as truth made audible. Dr. Michael Newton's regression research reveals souls recognized by their unique vibrational signatures, suggesting that each consciousness is a distinct note in a cosmic symphony. Hospice workers echo this, documenting patients perceiving ethereal choral music moments before death. These accounts challenge materialist assumptions: if the brain is offline, what is doing the hearing?Next, we explore the human conduit: savants, creatives, and channelers who seem to access music not through learning, but reception. Cases like Leslie Lemke and Gloria with Williams syndrome suggest that profound musical ability may be latent in all of us, unlocked by unusual brain wiring or trauma. Dr. Alan Snyder's research proposes that inhibiting certain brain regions can temporarily reveal savant-like perception, implying that genius may be a matter of tuning in rather than building up.Then come the channeled currents. Rosemary Brown claimed to transcribe music dictated by deceased composers, while Stuart Sharp spent decades trying to capture the “Angeli Symphony” he heard after personal tragedy. Jacqueline Ott went further, channeling music from non-human intelligences—cosmic languages, liquid light, divine blueprints—suggesting a source beyond individual spirits, perhaps a universal vibrational database.This leads us to the primacy of consciousness. Drawing on quantum physics, Vedanta philosophy, and contact modality research, we explore the idea that consciousness is not produced by the brain, but fundamental to reality itself. Nobel laureates like Sir James Jeans and Erwin Schrödinger leaned toward this view, echoing ancient insights that the observer and the observed are one.If consciousness is primary, then phenomena like UFOs, NDEs, OBEs, and channeling may be different expressions of the same underlying truth: consciousness interacting with other layers of reality. Researchers like Dr. Kenneth Ring and the FREE group found that experiencers across modalities report similar transformations—less fear, more compassion, a shift toward love and service.And that's the final chord. Across all sources, the message is consistent: the purpose of consciousness is evolution. Not technological or biological, but vibrational. We are here to raise our frequency, reduce entropy, and harmonize with the larger consciousness system. The method? Unconditional love and selfless service.This episode invites you to reconsider everything—from the music you hear to the thoughts you think—as part of a cosmic composition. You are not just a listener. You are a note. A radiant tone in the divine chord.Are you in tune?

Welcome to the new season of the Maths on the Move podcast! We start the season with theoretical physicist David Tong of the University of Cambridge looking at an important milestone in the history of physics: the 100th birthday of quantum mechanics which we celebrate this year. David tells us why a new theory was needed, which of the many strange aspects of quantum mechanics is, in his opinion, the most significant, and that Erwin Schrödinger had a tendency to be grumpy. David also tells us how quantum mechanics links to quantum field theory, the language in which all of modern physics is formulated, and reveals some mysterious connections between very different areas of physics — such as the theory of black holes and fluid mechanics. Join us in a wavy dance from the very small to the very large!

Tot und lebendig zugleich? Erwin Schrödingers Gedankenexperiment sprengt unser Weltbild. Und selbst manche Physiker verzweifeln daran. Am 19.8.1935 wurde sie "geboren". Von Daniela Wakonigg.

Salmos 34: 8A comienzos del siglo XX, el físico austríaco Erwin Schrödinger concibió un experimento mental sumamente intrigante. Invitó a sus lectores a visualizar un escenario donde un gato se hallaba dentro de una caja de acero junto a un dispositivo que contenía veneno. Este mecanismo estaba meticulosamente diseñado para presentar una probabilidad exacta del 50 % tanto de liberar el veneno como de abstenerse de hacerlo durante un lapso de media hora. Mientras la caja permaneciera cerrada, explicaba el científico, el gato estaba en un estado de superposición cuántica, o paradoja, pues debía considerarse, al mismo tiempo, vivo y muerto. La única forma de saber cuál de las dos posibilidades se había materializado era abriendo la caja.Hay situaciones en las que tenemos que «abrir la caja» para descubrir qué hay dentro. Pero en el Salmo 34, David nos dice que cada vez que probamos a Dios, nos damos cuenta de que él es bueno. ¿Qué argumentos presenta David para hacer semejante sugerencia? David enfrentó peligros mientras apacentaba el ganado en las montañas, enfrentó al gigante Goliat, fue perseguido por un rey paranoico y en medio de todo esto dice: «Recurrí al Señor, y él me contestó, y me libró de todos mis temores» (Salmos 34: 4); y luego añade: «Este pobre gritó, y el Señor lo oyó, y lo libró de todas sus angustias» (Salmos 34: 6).Quizás pienses que la experiencia de David solo es válida para él, pero fíjate que el salmo también contiene una promesa universal: «Los que miran al Señor [...] jamás se verán defraudados» (Salmos 34: 5). David comprobó por experiencia propia que Dios «está cerca» (Salmos 34: 18), sus oídos están atentos a nuestras oraciones. ¡Qué bueno es poder contar con un Dios así!Hoy te invito a abrir la caja de tu relación con Dios. En ella descubrirás un Dios que te escucha, un Dios que provee para tus necesidades, un Dios que te libra de tus temores, un Dios que siempre está cerca de ti. Y lo mejor es que cada vez que probamos a Dios, llegamos a la misma conclusión que David: «El Señor es bueno». ¡Qué dicha es poder confiar en él!

In this video, we're going to explore the incredible power of gedankenexperiments, or thought experiments, and how they can fundamentally change the way you think.Do you want to unlock your creativity, sharpen your critical thinking skills, and foster a deeper sense of curiosity? Thought experiments are powerful mental tools used by the greatest minds in history, from Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton to Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr. They are mental simulations designed to explore the implications and consequences of a hypothesis without a real-world setup. They force you to confront your assumptions and challenge your preconceived notions. It's the ultimate exercise in problem solving.Think about Isaac Newton's cannon: he imagined a cannonball fired from a mountain to understand orbital mechanics. This simple hypothetical laid the groundwork for our understanding of gravity. Or consider Schrödinger's cat, the "zombie cat" paradox proposed by Erwin Schrödinger. He used this bizarre scenario not to suggest a cat could be both alive and dead, but to highlight the strange interpretation of quantum mechanics. It's a brilliant example of using an outlandish idea to provoke deeper inquiry.The most famous moral dilemma of all is the trolley problem. You see a runaway trolley speeding toward five people. You can pull a lever to divert it, killing only one person. This scenario has no easy answer; it's designed to make you examine your own ethical frameworks and understand concepts of responsibility.The book "Learn to Think Using Thought Experiments" by Patrick King is a comprehensive guide to mastering this invaluable skill. It's a practical guide to using these mental tools for your own cognitive development and intellectual growth. You'll learn how to create your own thought experiments and use them to improve everything from your career to your personal relationships. Imagine using a thought experiment to test a new business idea or to make a difficult life decision. The book equips you with the tools for these mental simulations.The book delves into a wide range of thought experiments, from those of physicists like Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr to philosophical puzzles that challenge our understanding of consciousness and free will. It even touches on concepts from other fields, such as the famous Geiger counter, used in a way to illustrate randomness and probability.This isn't about memorizing facts; it's about cultivating metacognition—the ability to think about your own thinking. By using thought experiments, you learn to question everything, explore every possibility, and think like a philosopher. You'll move beyond simple facts and into the realm of deeper understanding, honing your imagination and learning to see the world not just as it is, but as it could be.If you're ready to expand your mental horizons, improve your problem-solving skills, and ignite your...
Send us a textThe deep connection between sunlight and life, from the scale of the cosmos to the quantum.Episode Summary: Astrophysicist Dr. Robert Fosbury discusses the sun's characteristics as a star, its analogies to living systems via entropy and complexity, and Erwin Schrödinger's insights on life as order-maintaining entities; he explores how near-infrared (NIR) light from the sun penetrates bodies to enhance mitochondrial function and metabolism, critiques modern artificial lighting's health impacts like mitochondrial dysfunction leading to diseases, and advocates returning to natural light environments for better wellness, drawing connections from cosmology to everyday architecture and lifestyle.About the guest: Robert Fosbury, PhD is a is a retired astrophysicist. He spent his career at the European Space Agency, working on Hubble and JWST projects, and now pursues interdisciplinary research linking stellar phenomena to biological processes like light's impact on vision and metabolism.Discussion Points:Stars like the sun maintain low-entropy states by exporting entropy as light, mirroring how life ingests low-entropy food to sustain order and homeostasis.The universe's complexity peaks midway in entropy increase, with stars producing elements that enable biological complexity, evolving toward cognition.Near-infrared light, peaking in solar output at ~1.6 microns due to atmospheric physics, catalyzes mitochondrial ATP production by facilitating electron transport, not via photosynthesis but photo-metabolism.Modern LEDs and windows block near-infrared, contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction, obesity, diabetes, and aging; historical thermal lights like incandescents provided beneficial infrared.Outdoor environments, especially under trees, flood bodies with reflected near-infrared for health, while blue skies act as cold sinks boosting thermodynamic efficiency.Eyes are mitochondria-rich, vulnerable to poor light; therapies using near-infrared slow macular degeneration by improving energy production.Ultra-processed foods are "high-entropy" with no structural order, akin to waste, reducing nutritional value for maintaining bodily order.Practical fixes: Use low-voltage incandescents indoors, prioritize outdoor time, design buildings with infrared-transmitting glass, and light people, not spaces, for energy savings and Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

The signing of the first ever Memorandum of Understanding between the world-renowned Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) and a Technological University was witnessed by James Lawless, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. The agreement with the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) was signed during the celebrations of the Institute's 85th year anniversary, marking its lauded track record since it was set up by Eamon De Valera's Government at the time when its first Director of Theoretical Physics was Nobel-prize winner Erwin Schrödinger. The MOU, signed by Dr Eucharia Meehan, CEO of DIAS, and President of TUS, Professor Vincent Cunnane, will strengthen collaboration in research and innovation between the institutions, with a focus on advancing education and practical knowledge in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Computer Vision (CV) and their application to Radio Astronomy. Under the terms of the agreement, two TUS PhD research students, funded by the university, will be appointed DIAS scholars, receiving mentorship from DIAS's world-renowned researchers at Dunsink Observatory and participating in cutting edge research, working on the prestigious I-LOFAR at Birr Castle in Offaly. I-LOFAR stands for Irish Low Frequency Array and it is Ireland's largest radio telescope. It is part of a Europe-wide collaborative astronomy project where Irish scientists and students participate in pan-European research in areas such as: Astrophysics, Cosmic magnetism, Space weather, Solar physics and Big Data and AI applications in astronomy. I-LOFAR generates massive volumes of complex data - often terabytes per day - and CV and ML play a crucial role in how that data is processed, analysed, and interpreted. DIAS and TUS will jointly collaborate on applying High Performance Computing including AI, ML and CV to the detection, classification and characterisation of targeted phenomena in the I-LOFAR data. Initially this will focus on Space Weather / Solar Phenomena but will be expanded to include others. The research outputs will be held in a new centralised Astrophysics storage and High Performance Computing facility at TUS which will benefit all researchers nationally. This new facility will train undergraduates in modelling large datasets. Together TUS and DIAS have also committed to regional educational and industrial workshops to create awareness of the expertise available from the collaboration. The first workshops will be held in conjunction with the LEO office in Offaly. Congratulating both Institutions, Minister James Lawless TD, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation, and Science said: "I warmly congratulate DIAS and TUS on the signing of this important Memorandum of Understanding. Strategic collaboration such as this strengthens our research base and positions Ireland globally at the forefront of technological progress". Dr. Eucharia Meehan, CEO, DIAS said: "We are proud to formalise this collaboration with TUS as we mark 85 years of discovery at DIAS. Since our earliest days, DIAS has been a centre of discovery where students are welcomed and supported in their research endeavours. With this MOU we are further strengthening the research ecosystem to support talent, to foster innovation, and to deliver real impact for our research community and our economy. Building on our track record of developing research infrastructure for the benefit of research in Ireland and further afield, the establishment of a new centralised Astrophysics storage and High Performance Computing facility in partnership with TUS will provide an important resource for current and future generations of researchers." President of TUS, Professor Vincent Cunnane, said: "TUS is proud to embark on this new frontier with DIAS which will enable our students to explore previously undiscovered areas of research in the disciplines of engineering, science and technology. ...
Explaining how and why our world works the way it does touches on so many fields of science: biology, chemistry, physics, and, of course, technology. However, according to researcher Blaise Agüera y Arcas, computation should also be part of the understanding of life on all levels – and going back further than one might think. In What Is Life? Evolution as Computation, Agüera y Arcas uses computation as a means of examining the complexities of our own universe. Inspired by the work of quantum mechanics pioneer Erwin Schrödinger, he revisits the question that has showcased the divide between biology and physics: what is life? How can life and all its attendant complexities come to exist in a random universe, governed by simple laws, whose disorder only increases over time? What Is Life? aims to provide surprising answers, reframing core concepts of self-reproduction, complex growth, and symbiotic relationships as inherently computational. Agüera y Arcas draws on decades of theory and existing literature from figures like Alan Turing and John von Neumann, as well as recent endeavors in the field of artificial life. From evolution and symbiogenesis to thermodynamics and climate models, What Is Life? explores computation as a tool beyond raw calculation to understand intricate phenomena. This volume serves as a first installment of an ongoing body of work, with his larger book What Is Intelligence? further developing this perspective on intelligence from simple organisms to brains and from societies to AI. What Is Life? is richly illustrated and studded with examples, recontextualizing computational concepts and applications for a general audience curious about diving deeper into the machinations of our living world. Blaise Agüera y Arcas is a researcher and author focused on artificial intelligence, sociality, evolution, and software development. He is a VP and Fellow at Google, where he is the CTO of Technology & Society and founder of Paradigms of Intelligence (Pi). He is a frequent speaker at TED and has been featured in the Economist and Noēma, and has previously published the books Who Are We Now? and Ubi Sunt. Charles Tonderai Mudede is a Zimbabwean-born cultural critic, urbanist, filmmaker, college lecturer, and writer. He is the Senior Staff writer of the Stranger, a lecturer at Cornish College of the Arts, and has collaborated with the director Robinson Devor on three films, two of which Police Beat and Zoo, premiered at Sundance, and one of which, Zoo, screened at Cannes, and the most recent of which, Suburban Fury, premiered at New York Film Festival. (Police Beat is now part of MOMA's permanent collection.) Mudede, whose essays regularly appear in e-Flux and Tank Magazine, is also the director of Thin Skin (2023).
Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, neuropsychiatrist and author of "The ESP Enigma," joins me for a mind-bending exploration of consciousness, savant abilities, and the limitations of materialist science. Trained at Johns Hopkins under a neurologist-turned-psychiatrist, Diane has spent decades investigating phenomena that challenge our fundamental assumptions about how the brain works. We dive deep into why the scientific establishment reacts so emotionally to consciousness research, her fascinating work with autistic savants, and why she believes the brain functions as a navigation tool for consciousness rather than its creator. This is one of those conversations that might just upgrade your entire worldview. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

Depuis près d'un siècle, la physique quantique est entourée de mystères aussi fascinants que déroutants. Parmi ses icônes les plus célèbres figure le chat de Schrödinger, une expérience de pensée imaginée par le physicien autrichien Erwin Schrödinger en 1935 pour illustrer la notion de superposition quantique. Dans ce paradoxe, un chat enfermé dans une boîte est à la fois vivant et mort tant qu'on n'ouvre pas la boîte pour l'observer. Bien que purement théorique à l'origine, cette idée incarne l'un des aspects les plus énigmatiques de la mécanique quantique : la coexistence simultanée d'états contradictoires.Jusqu'à présent, recréer une telle superposition dans des conditions expérimentales réelles nécessitait un environnement extrêmement froid, proche du zéro absolu (-273,15 °C). À ces températures, les particules sont moins sujettes à l'agitation thermique, ce qui permet de préserver la cohérence quantique, fragile par nature. Or, une équipe de physiciens de l'université d'Innsbruck, en Autriche, vient tout juste de remettre en cause cette contrainte fondamentale.Une superposition quantique à température élevéeLes chercheurs ont réussi à produire une superposition quantique – l'équivalent d'un chat de Schrödinger – dans un environnement bien plus chaud que ce que l'on croyait possible. Concrètement, ils ont utilisé des ions piégés dans un champ électromagnétique et les ont fait interagir de façon contrôlée dans une situation où la température n'était pas parfaitement cryogénique.Grâce à des techniques de refroidissement localisé et de correction des erreurs, les scientifiques ont réussi à maintenir la superposition malgré la présence significative d'agitation thermique, ce qui était jusque-là considéré comme quasiment incompatible avec l'état quantique pur. Cette démonstration montre qu'il est possible de faire de la physique quantique "chaude", une perspective qui bouleverse des décennies de pratiques expérimentales.Des implications majeures pour les technologies quantiquesCette avancée ouvre des perspectives inédites pour le développement de technologies quantiques plus robustes et plus accessibles. Jusqu'à présent, les ordinateurs quantiques nécessitaient des installations coûteuses pour maintenir leurs composants à très basse température. Si l'on parvient à maîtriser la cohérence quantique dans des environnements plus "chauds", cela pourrait réduire drastiquement les coûts de fabrication et de maintenance, rendant ces technologies bien plus accessibles.De plus, cette découverte pourrait avoir un impact sur des domaines comme la cryptographie quantique, les capteurs de précision et les réseaux de communication quantique.En somme, le chat de Schrödinger sort peut-être enfin de sa boîte – et il n'a plus besoin d'avoir froid pour exister.

Humanity's understanding of the universe radically altered with the advent of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century. The theory of quantum mechanics describes how nature behaves at or below the scale of atoms, and the road to that theory was littered with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. With us to discuss the development of quantum mechanics, and the major schools of thought represented by Neils Bohr and Albert Einstein, is Jim Baggott. Today we discuss many of the key players in the development of quantum mechanics, including Bohr, Einstein, Wolfgang Pauli, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, Max Planck, and Max Born.
Julian Gough sums up his career as follows: “I just sit in my room and write.” Well, I think being an acclaimed children's author, novelist, stage playwright, poet and top-ten Irish musician is a little more impressive than he's letting on… Oh, and I didn't even mention that he wrote the ending to the computer game Minecraft! His current project, The Egg and The Rock, puts all of this to shame. This book, which Julian is writing in public on Substack, seeks to do no less than redescribe the universe, arguing that is not some random, dead, purposeless sack of chemicals, but instead a living, evolving organism. Julian joins me to discuss why the arc of human evolution bends towards man-made black holes, the hidden catastrophe at the heart of materialist science, the strange life of subterranean ice aliens, and MUCH more!

For today's episode, we go back to the origins of Autism. It seems necessary because of the recent shifts in what is Autism and the confusion in the rates of Autism. Autism was here in the 1930's, and it magically showed up in different areas of the world. (Part 2 on Asperger's "little professors" next). The two-part series intends to remember the phenotypes that appeared and became known as Autism.It is my opinion, the recent shifts in defining Autism could be rooted in questionable intentions. Regardless, one goal of the podcast is understanding and explaining Autism. By the end of the episode, and by the end of the two-part series, I hope you gain understanding of the Autistic Phenotype.Leo Kanner: Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact http://www.autismtruths.org/pdf/Autistic%20Disturbances%20of%20Affective%20Contact%20-%20Leo%20Kanner.pdf0:00 Intro0:45 Erwin Schrödinger Quote; Quantum Physics; Missing link in Medicine2:56 Kanner's Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact; Demographics3:52 Ages; Boys versus Girls; Phenotypes; Family History6:26 Important consideration of Family History- electricity and nnEMF; general observation and important phenotypes9:30 Anticipatory Motor Adjustment; Reflexes; Sensory and Adaptive Responses13:32 Monotonous Repetitions; Sameness15:26 Spelling and Language18:20 Commands and Intrusions18:57 Autism, not Autism and ADHD; Intense Fixations & Neuroplasticity; Default Mode Network; Sameness24:00 Oblivious to Others; Inattentive- It's not ADHD, it's Autism27:39 Changes & More on Sameness & Repetitions30:10 Rote Memory; Gastrointestinal: Timelines and MilestonesX: https://x.com/rps47586Hopp: https://www.hopp.bio/fromthespectrumemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Erwin Schrödinger said that the important characteristic of life is that it "goes on doing something... for a much longer period than we would expect an inanimate piece of matter to keep going under similar circumstances." Living organisms are in constant motion inside; so where does this stability and persistence come from? Addy Pross points to a novel kind of chemical phenomenon -- "dynamic kinetic stability" (DKS), a feature that enables a chemical "fountain" to persist in the presence of an energy source. This suggests an interesting perspective on the question of life's origin, and perhaps on the origin of consciousness.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/10/28/294-addy-pross-on-dynamics-stability-and-life/Addy Pross received his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Sydney.

Have you ever wondered if there's one belief that is shared across cultures throughout history? Well, there is. We see it in petroglyphs and signs and symbols and stories and holy books. That belief is that everything is connected. The universal symbol for the tree of life shares in that understanding. It arises in continents and cultures throughout the ages. We can see versions of the Tree of Life in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, in Hebrew and Islamic creed, and throughout Europe. The limbs of the tree reach upward towards heaven, connecting us there. The branches and the leaves intertwine symbolizing connectedness to one another and to the earth. And the roots bury deep into the soil, connecting us to those who have gone before us. This story of connectedness can be seen in modern science as well—in chaos theory, gravity and quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement was discovered in the 1930s by a group of physicists, including Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger—and it freaked them out! For decades, physicists argued the feasibility of entanglement until, in 1964, in the lab of John Stuart Bell in Geneva, he proved that quantum entanglement was in fact, reality. Well, what is quantum entanglement? In the simplest terms, quantum entanglement means that aspects of one particle of an entangled pair depend on aspects of the other particle, no matter how far apart they are or what lies between them The only way that this is possible is if these two electrons are still communicating, they're still entangled, and the implications of that are that the entire fabric of the universe is intertwined. The strange part of quantum entanglement is that when you measure something about one particle in an entangled pair, you immediately know something about the other particle, even if they are millions of light years apart. This odd connection between the two particles is instantaneous, seemingly breaking Einstein's theory that nothing travels faster than the speed of light. Einstein famously called the phenomenon “spooky action at a distance.” What does all this connectedness mean for us in our everyday lives? Albert Einstein went on to answer that question by stating, “our task is to free ourselves from this prison of thinking we are separate and widen our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” Internationally bestselling author Lynn McTaggart agrees. She states, we are each a vital part of the whole. Equipped with the innate power to effect great change. By recognizing and honoring the connections that bind us, we could create a more compassionate, harmonious world where the well-being of all is considered. Lynne is consistently voted one of the world's top 100 spiritual leaders for her ground-breaking work with consciousness and the power of intention. As architect of the Intention Experiments, a web-based ‘global laboratory,' Lynne was prominently featured in the plotline of Dan Brown's blockbuster The Lost Symbol. Over the years Lynne has been called a ‘metaphysical rock star', ‘the Madonna of the Quantum World,' ‘the Malcolm Gladwell of the New Science' and even ‘The Dalai Mama.' Please join me, Carlene Cross, as I speak with Lynn McTaggart about the implications of an interconnected universe. I hope that you will agree with Lynne when she says, “The most essential ingredient in creating our universe is the consciousness that observes it.” FPlease subscribe to my podcast on YouTube and on my website https://haveyoueverwonderedpodcast.com/.

Austrian capital Vienna has a long history, dating back to the 1st century CE Roman military camp of Vindobona. It's been home to some pretty big names over the centuries. Mozart, Beethoven, Sigmund Freud, Gustav Klimt, Hedy Lamarr, Marie Antoinette and Erwin Schrödinger, among many others, have all lived in the city. Yet it's also got a darker side. Its vast Central Cemetery is a testament to the Viennese fascination with death. Empress Elisabeth of Austria, nicknamed Sissi, apparently had a fascination with the supernatural, and some say she still roams the hallways of the Hofburg palace.

He is credited with laying the foundations of quantum field theory. He was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, a professor of physics at Florida State University and the University of Miami, and a 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics recipient. Dirac made fundamental contributions to the early development of both quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics, coining the latter term. Among other discoveries, he formulated the Dirac equation in 1928, which describes the behaviour of fermions and predicted the existence of antimatter, and is considered one of the most important equations in physics, with it being considered by some to be the "real seed of modern physics". He wrote a famous paper in 1931, which further predicted the existence of antimatter. Dirac shared the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics with Erwin Schrödinger "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory". He also made significant contributions to the reconciliation of general relativity with quantum mechanics. His 1930 monograph, The Principles of Quantum Mechanics, is considered to be one of the most influential texts on quantum mechanics. Dirac's contributions were not only restricted to quantum mechanics. He contributed to the Tube Alloys project, the British programme to research and construct atomic bombs during World War II. Furthermore, Dirac made fundamental contributions to the process of uranium enrichment and the gas centrifuge, and whose work was deemed to be "probably the most important theoretical result in centrifuge technology". He also contributed to cosmology, putting forth his large numbers hypothesis. Dirac is also seen as having anticipated string theory well before its inception, with his work on the Dirac membrane and Dirac–Born–Infeld action, amongst other contributions. Dirac was regarded by his friends and colleagues as unusual in character. In a 1926 letter to Paul Ehrenfest, Albert Einstein wrote of a Dirac paper, "I am toiling over Dirac. This balancing on the dizzying path between genius and madness is awful." In another letter concerning the Compton effect he wrote, "I don't understand the details of Dirac at all." In 1987, Abdus Salam stated that "Dirac was undoubtedly one of the greatest physicists of this or any century . . . No man except Einstein has had such a decisive influence, in so short a time, on the course of physics in this century."

Erwin Schrödinger is one of the "fathers of quantum mechanics". He also sexually abused children. Trinity College Dublin recently denamed a lecture theatre that had been named after him - but his name is still on an equation that won the Nobel Prize for physics. And a cat. Writer and historian Subhadra Das recounts how and why you rename a university building, and retired physicist Martin Austwick considers that renaming an eponymous equation or theory might be more difficult than unscrewing a sign from a wall. This is an instalment of the Telling Other Stories series, about renaming. Content note: this episode contains references to racism and eugenics, and to the sexual abuse of children.
