Einstein said time is an illusion. Ever wonder why? Always wanted a Deeper Knowledge of Science? Wish you could Understand Einstein and Quantum Mechanics without needing a degree in Math or Science? This is the book you’ve been waiting for!

Sounds excellent! Can’t wait to watch this.

How about a theolocution between Jacob Barandes and @DavidDeutschOxf? I can imagine some interesting arguments over the existence of many-worlds.

Thank you for the content!

Just wanted to share that Frank Jackson has recanted his own Mary's room experiment. See: . It is unfortunate that people keep bringing these outdated ideas.

Harvard physicist Jacob Barandes returns with a groundbreaking insight that could reshape quantum theory. By questioning a single hidden assumption, Jacob bridges the gap between classical probability and quantum mechanics. This ‘mathematical accident’ challenges the foundations of Bell’s Theorem, dissolves the measurement problem, and opens a path to a realist interpretation of quantum physics. This episode is a rigorous journey through stochastic processes, non-locality, and the future of theoretical physics.

In this episode, I speak with Professor Felix Finster, a radical thinker reimagining the foundations of physics. We explore his theory of causal fermion systems, where reality emerges from quantum correlations—without assuming spacetime or geometry. From the Dirac sea to quantum gravity, this conversation challenges familiar concepts and offers a glimpse into where the next physics revolution might begin.

Will we ever know how the universe began? Acclaimed theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder Sabine Hossenfelder argues that not only is discovering the universe’s origins an impossible task, but one that she doesn't consider worth pursuing at all. Instead, theories for the beginning of the universe are merely stories we tell ourselves. In this debate, she joins theoretical quantum physicist Ivette Fuentes and philosopher of science James Ladyman to explore the various lenses through which we perceive and study the cosmological world of the universe.

The Physicist Who Proved Free Will Using Thermodynamics Physicist and philosopher Jenann Ismael joins to unveil a radical idea: free will isn’t an illusion, it’s a physical reality grounded in thermodynamics and relativity. In this conversation, Jenann explains why no system, not even a perfect computer, can predict its own future, and how this inherent unpredictability opens the door to real agency. We explore the paradox of identity, the limits of determinism, the role of memory in selfhood, and why your choices truly come from you. This is the clearest, most rigorous defense of free will in the age of physics.

MIT physicist Max Tegmark argues AI now belongs inside physics—and that consciousness will be next. He separates intelligence (goal-achieving behavior) from consciousness (subjective experience), sketches falsifiable experiments using brain-reading tech and rigorous theories (e.g., IIT/φ), and shows how ideas like Hopfield energy landscapes make memory “feel” like physics. If you like Prof. Levin's work, then you'll love this wide-ranging conversation. It’s a masterclass on where mind, math, and machines collide.

$Why quantum theory could have a fractal structure: explained in 83 minutes. The notion of true quantum nonlocality is absurd. In the latest episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast, Prof Tim Palmer from the University of Oxford suggests that there is a hidden assumption in standard quantum mechanics, and dropping it will save us from this absurdity. Namely, the reality of counterfactuals: the physics of what could have happened but did not. Inspired by chaos theory and the fractal structure widespread in atmospheric physics, Palmer has developed a new underlying structure for quantum theory, with radical implications for our fundamental principles of quantum physics; the limits of quantum computation; and perhaps even the search for quantum gravity. Watch on my YouTube channel, or listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!$

He got a phone call from a UFO that predicted his future with frightening accuracy. He was 13yrs old. Jack Sarfatti would go on to become a well known figure in theoretical physics and consciousness research as well as the UFOlogy field. This is his story.

🚨Telepathic UFO Contact Is Real... This Is How It Works This isn't a grift, this really did happen to me and I have spent several years researching how it was even possible. In this presentation I will be drawing upon plasma biophysics, quantum biology, consciousness physics, government documented UAP/UFO research, ancient esoteric traditions, theoretical physics and my own personal experiences. I want to take people away from the "New Age Woo Woo" perspective that is inevitably invoked when discussing something as radical as telepathic UFO contact. Here I do my best to explain the situation through a fusion of bleeding edge science and deeply ancient wisdom. Full 1hr+ video in the comment section below.

Physicist Brian Cox says consciousness is the most complex emergent phenomenon we know, but it still comes from underlying laws In principle, a powerful enough computer could model the brain AI and AGI raise this question: "we still don't know how consciousness emerges from the brain"
