Scott Aaronson: The Greatest Unsolved Problem in Math

YouTube link https://youtu.be/1ZpGCQoL2Rk  Scott Aaronson joins us to explore quantum computing, complexity theory, Ai, superdeterminism, consciousness, and free will.   TIMESTAMPS: - 00:00:00 Introduction - 00:02:27 Turing universality & computational efficiency - 00:12:35 Does prediction undermine free will? - 00:15:16 Newcomb's paradox - 00:23:05 Quantum information & no-cloning - 00:33:42 Chaos & computational irreducibility - 00:38:33 Brain duplication, Ai, & identity - 00:46:43 Many-worlds, Copenhagen, & Bohm's interpretation   - 01:03:14 Penrose's view on quantum gravity and consciousness - 01:14:46 Superposition explained: misconceptions of quantum computing   - 01:21:33 Wolfram's physics project critique - 01:31:37 P vs NP explained (complexity classes demystified) - 01:53:40 Classical vs quantum computation - 02:03:25 The "pretty hard" problem of consciousness (critiques of IIT)   NOTE: The perspectives expressed by guests don't necessarily mirror my own. There's a versicolored arrangement of people on TOE, each harboring distinct viewpoints, as part of my endeavor to understand the perspectives that exist.   THANK YOU: To Mike Duffy, of https://dailymystic.org for your insight, help, and recommendations on this channel.     - Patreon: https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal (early access to ad-free audio episodes!) - Crypto: https://tinyurl.com/cryptoTOE - PayPal: https://tinyurl.com/paypalTOE - Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOEwithCurt - Discord Invite: https://discord.com/invite/kBcnfNVwqs - iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/better-left-unsaid-with-curt-jaimungal/id1521758802 - Pandora: https://pdora.co/33b9lfP - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gL14b92xAErofYQA7bU4e - Subreddit r/TheoriesOfEverything: https://reddit.com/r/theoriesofeverything - TOE Merch: https://tinyurl.com/TOEmerch   LINKS MENTIONED: - Scott's Blog: https://scottaaronson.blog/ - Newcomb's Paradox (Scott's Blog Post): https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=30 - A New Kind of Science (Stephen Wolfram): https://amzn.to/47BTiaf - Jonathan Gorard's Papers: https://arxiv.org/search/gr-qc?searchtype=author&query=Gorard,+J - Boson Sampling (Alex Arkhipov and Scott Aaronson): https://arxiv.org/abs/1011.3245 - Podcast w/ Tim Maudlin on TOE (Solo): https://youtu.be/fU1bs5o3nss - Podcast w/ Tim Palmer on TOE: https://youtu.be/883R3JlZHXE Learn more about your ad choices.

Om Podcasten

Exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner. If you'd like to support this endeavor, then please visit the Patreon ( https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal ). Thank you for your charitable and kindhearted support. My name's Curt Jaimungal, a Torontonian with a degree in mathematical physics from the University of Toronto and I analyze various Theories of Everything from this analytic perspective, though more and more opening up to alternative approaches. The separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, we're increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information.
