In conversation with Nima Arkani-Hamed 

I can see the movie now!

@@grungecrunge You mean the movie "Arrival", don't you? :-P

Stargate

Now that's really funny. Im sure when he's gone, someone will steal his brain for study, just like Eistein's brain. Now that would be very interesting to study. Lol

I am not a scientist or a mathematician, but the passion that Nima shows for understanding the universe and the laws of nature, always amazes me! I consider myself his personal stalker LOL!

You're definitely not alone!!

It's coming. Look up Don Hoffman. Reality as we perceive it has nothing to do with the Real.

It would be good if many of the leaders of the world, so certain of their positions, would have the same attitude and be humbled!

I feel inadequate too. But the knowledge he possess is so anourmasly interesting and informative for my curious mind.

Drop lawrence he is delusional and very close minded

Sam Ma​ I agree with Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins too. Would you have me drop those guys as well?

Idk about sam but richard and lawrence are very close minded and their way of thinking is bad for science.

Agreed, @@samirrimas. Krauss is a massive egotist.

Guide504 I had the same thought.

Guide504 Yes! Such a great comment. So true.

Guide504 In pedagogy and psychology we call it dysfunction. Too many fragmented thoughts causing problems to put them together and speak fluently. Nothing is that complicated that it is unpronounceable. Yes, he is very smart guy but all those "erms, umms, stutterings" are just plain dysfunction. Nothing serious threatening life.

Wasn't quite what I meant but many thanks for the insight.

plain vanilla...... not sure your worth listening to after that assessment of someone in Nima's realm. bit silly really.

The Multi verse and non-existance are far greater. Other dimensions.... Realms..... Mellisscieant Ace

Nice yar

Mederic Lanoix Maybe if you are easily distracted, it didn't bother me in the slightest.

Makes me want to take his milk money.

I didn't notice it until I read this comment.

Oh! It's now bothering me after reading this comment! -_-

I am not a scientist or a mathematician, but the passion that Nima shows for understanding the universe and the laws of nature, always amazes me!

I concur

I look forward to hot wax! not in any other context naturally!

Steven Williams: It depends on how you define consciousness. Consciousness is defined differently according to different modalities. Caution is necessary here.

Stephen Paul King No.

Oners82 what is your reasoning?

Stephen Paul King Because what you said makes no sense.

That all you got out of it ?

THOMAS: I beg You, pardon? 🙄

Lucas Blinda space time is doomed because fundamentally it makes no sense in a world with dark matter exists--where the trajectory, energy, and any other measurable characteristic of a particle seems entirely unconnected to the space in which it exists. If we keep space time, you have to explain away dark matter and the large-scale structure of the universe as an output of a space time fabric that was pre-shapen. It requires you to assert that everything is where it is because space time "funneled", or "directed" matter towards the areas where it is currently. You have to assert that it had a tendency or penchant for curving certain ways in certain areas. We're perfectly aware that relativity is largely correct and that space is effected by mass. If the former is true, relativity contained the seeds of it's own destruction. Some believe that it could perfectly well be that the universe is positively curved, or negatively curved, but no one believes that is has a goofy ass shape. It's only in a scenario where space itself fluctuates, or has properties we don't understand, that it makes sense that space both responds to mass/energy, and at the same time has some penchant for direction or orientation, or the property that is dark matter. It's the complete disbelief that dark matter is something discrete and undetectable, and the existence of black holes that leads you naturally to the above. In regimes where Space has extreme properties it loses all meaning: Space can't have some random affinity for mass not related to anything physical, and it can't be infinitely curved.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that you meant "gall", and not "gull". In fact, and in spite of your comment, I'll go even further and assume that you are a person, and not simply an ignorant facsimile of one. However, I wouldn't bet too much in either case...

Yes and behind amplihedron is decorated permutations

He has matured a lot since then 😁 Snap

Nowhere. That's mostly because particles don't exist, either.

There has never been? Plato wrong? Alchemy wrong? True alchemy wasn't even about matter ., to say they never knew. Is saying : I looked at every person who has done research in the past, and understood how they did hide The sacred secrets and why they did. Even the torus generating universe idea is traced back to Babylonian times. We learn at school that the Greek came up with PI while in the same time they worked with 3.1416, history isn't as clear cut as they make it out to be..to say there was not a time in the past that they knew is far more a believe then saying they have not yet rediscovered it. A conditioning that is blinding.and inability to seriously investigate the possibility . perhaps when they get closer to it they will get of their high horses and learn about the reasons it was lost.and make a real change, way beyond. That what is ego driven. Time and time again a theory is defended by the creator thereof for the sake of little .I., sometimes to the point that they ignor

its observable size which can be measured by red shifting is metrically measurable. It isn't infinite but it is big, it is also expanding faster than the speed of light, which means the speed of light is not the limit of which things can travel.

Zarko: Have respect please? 🙄

actually, he was born in Houston because at the time his dad was working at NASA

Etimespace: How? 🙄

I really oppose your idea. It is absolutely unacceptable. 😠

Never! They don't look a like

Wrong! Space-time does exist, but it is doomed as a fundamental reality. It is only a "derived reality" or an EMERGENT one. What he is saying is that the fundamental reality is different!

Pentcho Valev I see that you like to troll these videos saying the same shit but what you are saying is just wrong. All he is saying is that spacetime is not fundamental, it is an emergent course grained description. Einstein's theory still works fine at the appropriate length scales and so both postulate and conclusion are correct AT THE CORRECT SCALE OF APPLICABILITY. But however useful they are, they are not fundamental descriptions of reality.

Everything you know is merely theories. Nothing is absolute except the Absolute.

Induction is basic logic. And a wrong conclusion in induction does not invalidate the premise. I don’t know where you got the “forbidden” statement from. Nothing is forbidden in logic, it is simply logical or not.

So fundamental yet ignored

Why are you telling us that you didn't pay attention in high school? We didn't ask and we don't need to know. :-)

When you can actually articulate a question without all the astrobabble vagaries and allusions let us know.

@@throwaway692 sadly the problem might be with YOU ... maybe you need to be assigned some homework? So which came first 137 or its reciprocal 1/137?

@@islandbuoy4 Yeah.... right. No one can understand your astrobabble bullshit so the problem must be me. How introspective of you. You're an oak.

​@@throwaway692 So which emerged first in the mind of archaic man, the number 137 or its reciprocal 1/137 also know as the fine structure constant? Sadly there is a learning curve, yes you will need to climb the tree of life called the mighty oak.

@@islandbuoy4 Do you know for a fact they didn't emerge simultaneously? And if you're going to reference the fine structure constant then get it right. 1/137 is an approximation. So I guess we know who's on the slow side of the learning curve.
