This is a careful lecture that can be followed with zero background knowledge. Einstein thought he'd caught quantum mechanics in an act of spookiness — this podcast asks whether he was even worried about the right thing. Tim Maudlin, professor of philosophy at NYU and a leading philosopher of...

Never miss a chance to listen to this man Feynman was a genius. The EPR Paradox Explained: How Einstein Challenged Quantum Mechanics and Bell Proved Him Right The Real Story of Einstein vs Quantum Mechanics - Not What Your Textbook Says. In this video we explain: Einstein, Podolsky & Rosen's 1935 paper - Can Quantum-Mechanical Description Be Considered Complete? Why the EPR Argument is not about God playing dice, but about locality and reality How John Bell's 1964 Theorem made it testable How Alain Aspect's 1982 Experiment proved quantum entanglement is real What Feynman said about this in The Character of Physical Law (1965) Based on original sources: EPR Paper 1935, J.S. Bell 1964, Aspect et al. 1982, Feynman Lectures Vol III 1965. This is the mystery at the heart of quantum physics that is STILL unsolved. Save this for later. This is real physics history.

MIT put its full quantum physics course online for free and the opening lecture starts with a box you can't look inside. Almost nobody finishes it. This is 8.04, Quantum Physics I, taught by Allan Adams on the MIT campus. Same room, same problem sets, same professor the tuition pays for. He skips the history and the philosophy. He builds a simple apparatus, sends things through it, and shows the result no classical picture can survive. Skip the first 10 minutes, that part is course admin. What follows is thought experiment stacked on thought experiment until superposition stops being a word and becomes the only explanation left. Every engineer arguing about quantum computing in 2026 is arguing about what happens in this hour. A systems engineer I know watched it twice with a notebook and called it the clearest teaching he'd seen since university. MIT charges $60,000 a year. This lecture costs nothing. The gate was never locked. Almost nobody walks through.

MIT filmed a full graduate-level quantum mechanics course and put every lecture online for free. The instructor is Allan Adams. He stands in front of a chalkboard in a white shirt and opens by defining what linearity means before touching any physics. No slides. No animations. A man, a board, and a room of students working through the hardest framework in science. MIT OpenCourseWare started this in 2001. Faculty were told there would be no royalties and no extra pay for filming. Adams builds the course from the ground up. He treats quantum mechanics as a framework first and the strange results as consequences, not tricks. The catalog now holds more than 2,400 courses. The lectures have been watched hundreds of millions of times by people who will never set foot in Cambridge. Someone in a village with a phone gets the same lecture a student paying 60,000 dollars a year gets. The tuition was never buying the lecture.

This is another scene trafficking in boring clichés: The camera slowly swoops around Syril, as he gazes with wet eyes upon scenes of generic carnage, to the accompaniment of maudlin string music. Syril is experiencing Profound Moral Feelings. Everything he believed in was a lie?? This goes on for some time. I can already predict the responses to this. But I am completely serious. What is actually interesting about this? This is just not remarkable at all. Gilroy is going through the motions of a totally predictable story in a totally pedestrian way. And that is a consistent failing of the series.

Former SpaceX Head of Talent : I think Elon is smarter than Einstein. "One way we explained the SpaceX culture, in order to be honest with people, was this: SpaceX is like special forces. We take on missions that others consider impossible. This will be the hardest thing you ever do in your life. It attracts the kind of personality that wants to be a Navy SEAL, but in engineering. It will be bruising, punishing, and uncomfortable every day. Growth is not comfortable. If you are comfortable, you are probably not growing. To work for Elon is to be comfortable living in a constant state of discomfort. He has 10,000 times more going through his brain than the average person at any given moment. Our ability to think about and analyze a problem is nothing compared to how his brain works. Elon aspires to be the greatest engineer in the history of the world. He has the cognitive horsepower of the geniuses who came before us. But he is not Einstein, is he? I think he is smarter than Einstein."

Demis Hassabis has a test for whether AI is actually creative. Give it only the data Einstein had in 1901 and see if it invents relativity. He thinks today's text models will never pass it. This is his bar for true creativity. Not extrapolating something already known. Generating a genuinely new hypothesis about reality that nobody has reached before. The thing Einstein did in 1905 with a handful of papers that rewrote physics. Hassabis wants to hand an AI the same starting data Einstein had and see if it gets there on its own. No peeking past the cutoff. Then he explained why he doubts text alone can do it. Einstein daydreamed his way to relativity. He was a patent clerk imagining what it would look like to ride alongside a beam of light. He ran the experiment in his head first, then proved it with math. Yann LeCun, who won the Turing Award and ran AI at Meta, says the same thing in blunter terms. He says today's models don't understand the physical world as well as a housecat, and that text alone is "complete BS" as a path to real intelligence. Two of the most decorated minds in AI agree the missing piece is the same. Hassabis thinks an AI needs to understand the world of atoms, not just the world of bits. Most of the industry is racing to scale text models. Hassabis just told them the most important kind of thinking might live somewhere text can't reach. --- Watch the full interview at Semafor on YouTube

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!

The Non-Traversable Bridge Einstein Found Inside Gravity Einstein’s equations not only describe gravity as a force but as the shape of Spacetime as well. In 1935, Einstein and Rosen found that the Schwarzschild solution could be written in a way that reveals something astonishing: Two separate exterior regions of Spacetime joined by a bridge-like throat Rᵤᵥ = 0 This became known as the Einstein-Rosen Bridge. It is often called a Wormhole, but the classical Einstein-Rosen bridge is not a science-fiction tunnel. In the standard Schwarzschild geometry, it is non-traversable. The throat does not remain open long enough for ordinary travel from one region to the other. Its real power is mathematical. It shows that General Relativity is not merely about objects moving through space. The theory allows Spacetime to have global structure such as different regions, horizons, extensions, and hidden connections that are not visible from one local patch alone. The Einstein-Rosen bridge is one of the earliest glimpses of that deeper idea. Gravity is geometry. And sometimes, geometry has two worlds joined by a throat. #Astrophysics #GeneralRelativity #Einstein #BlackHole #Spacetime #Cosmology #Gravity #Wormhole #Mathematics #Physics

There's a physics lecture with over a million views' worth of value and almost no views. No slides. No notes. Just a green chalkboard and a man who clearly doesn't need one. The professor is V. Balakrishnan, IIT Madras. The course is Classical Physics, recorded for NPTEL — India's free national lecture archive — and quietly sitting on YouTube since 2009. What makes lecture one worth your time isn't production value. It's the opposite. It's a full subject held in one person's head, delivered in order, with nothing between him and the material. He opens with the actual boundary of the field: what classical mechanics can explain, and the precise point where it hands off to quantum theory. No hedging, no filler — every sentence finished before the next one starts. A friend who works in physics told me he went through the entire series and ranks it above courses he paid thousands of dollars for. It's been online for 17 years. Low resolution, zero marketing, still one of the best physics courses on the internet. Sometimes the best teaching in the world was never behind a paywall — it just wasn't in English-language algorithms' way of finding it.

🔱IIT Madras professor V. Balakrishnan teaches all of Thermodynamics - the science behind every engine, every power grid, and every refrigerator on Earth - for free. University physics degrees cost $40,000. He posted 57 minutes of it 17 years ago. 69,000 people found it. The rest paid tuition. Thermodynamics is not an elective. It is why industrial civilization exists. The first and second laws govern every process that converts heat into work - from steam turbines to nuclear reactors to the metabolism inside your cells. Most people never learn it past a high school surface. Balakrishnan goes deeper. He builds from the microcanonical ensemble (lecture 22) to the macroscopic laws you recognize, then shows why entropy is not a definition but a consequence of probability at scale. This is lecture 23 of 38. The full series ends at Special Relativity. No paywall. No signup. No textbook at $280. Just a blackboard and one of India's most respected physicists. Is the second law of thermodynamics the most profound idea in all of physics, or does quantum mechanics take that title? 🔖Just don't lose it and find a way to save the lecture, because other paid institutions don't want you to have access to it for free.

This is evergreen! When a young boy asks John MacArthur why didn’t Jesus just *Pow* in the garden when Eve ate the apple, He can stop it like that? Bible Questions and Answers, Part 70 — John MacArthur “I’m Joey Cusenza, and my question is, why didn’t Jesus stop Eve at the garden of Eden when she ate the fruit? *Like, I mean, pow,* He can just stop it like that. Why didn’t He?” JOHN: That is the most profound question of all questions: Why didn’t God stop Eve from eating the fruit? This theologians call the problem of theodicy: Why is there evil in the world? If God is absolutely holy, why is there evil in the world? That’s essentially that question: Why didn’t He stop it before it started? First of all, the broad answer is this: because God allowed her to eat that fruit, God allowed sin to come into the world, so that He could be glorified. Now God is a God of love, and He could express that love even in the perfection of the Trinity. And He expressed that love to Adam and Eve when He walked and talked with them before they sinned and before she ate. So God could express His love. But if there had never been a sin, there would never be forgiveness, there would never be mercy, there would never be grace, there would never be compassion, there would never be healing, there would never be restoration. And so, forever and ever, the angels would never be able to worship God for all those aspects of His nature. So God allows evil so that He can display grace and mercy and compassion because those also are attributes of God that can only be put on display through His response to sin. There’s another reason, and that is that God is holy and just and righteous. He would never be able to display ultimately what that means unless there were sinners to judge. So whether it is judgment on sin or whether it is salvation from sin, the fact that sin exists allows God to display eternally the glory of the full scope of His attributes. Okay? Great question. Thank you, bud.

Is math something humans invent—or something we discover? And why does it describe the universe so uncannily well? In this episode of Uncommon Knowledge, Peter Robinson sits down with mathematicians David Berlinski, Sergiu Klainerman, and Stephen C. Meyer to explore one of the deepest mysteries in science and philosophy: the reality of mathematics. From the simple certainty that 2 + 2 = 4 to the mind-bending mathematics behind black holes and quantum physics, the conversation asks why abstract numbers—created in the human mind—map so perfectly onto the physical world. Is mathematics purely logical, or does it point to a deeper structure of reality that isn't material at all? Along the way, the panel explores beauty in science, the "unreasonable effectiveness" of math, and whether the concept of materialism can really explain the world we live in. This wide-ranging discussion blends mathematics, physics, philosophy, and metaphysics into a fascinating conversation about truth, beauty, and the nature of reality itself.

Oxford professor John Lennox eloquently arguing in front of the Oxford Union Society for the existence of God and the reality of the Savior in 2012: "And here we reach what for me is the chief evidence, not only for the existence, but the nature of God. It is Jesus Christ. He it was who not only taught the Golden Rule, but embodied it—fed the hungry, healed the sick and suffering, and welcomed society's outcasts, brought utter respect to the marginalized and ashamed, and He's brought forgiveness and peace to multi-millions around the world. He's able to do this, of course, because though He was a man, He uniquely never was only a man, but God become human. The central evidence for this startling claim is, of course, His historical resurrection from the dead that launched Christianity in the world. This is, of course, ladies and gentlemen, a crunch issue. If Jesus rose from the dead, death is not the end and atheism is false. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, Christianity is false. And I remember at Cambridge as a student listening to the brilliant Norman Anderson, a legal expert going through forensically the evidence from his legal perspective as a brilliant lawyer, and he said at the end of it, 'The empty tomb then of Jesus forms a veritable rock on which all rationalistic theories of the Resurrection dash themselves in vain.'"

Marc Andreessen says the movie Oppenheimer misunderstands history and morality. "The movie sets up both Oppenheimer and also specifically Albert Einstein as the key moral authorities of the era with respect to the use of nuclear weapons. Both claims of which I believe are deeply incorrect on substance." "My critique is the morality of the movie I think is very badly upside-down. And it's upside-down in a way that flatters our current politics but is very badly upside-down in terms of what actually happened at the time." Its redeeming feature is the first half: "[The first half of the movie is] one of the only recreations on film of what American elite culture and society and American research establishment of the leading experts at the time, in the 1920s and 30s, how thoroughly saturated that world was with Communism." However, the remainder of the movie frames Oppenheimer and Einstein as political heroes and vilifies technology, when in reality Oppenheimer was surrounded by Communists, Einstein was a critic of American democracy, and the hydrogen bomb Oppenheimer refused to build may have prevented World War III. (Marc recommends reading When Reason Goes on Holiday by Neven Sesardić to learn more about Einstein's political views.) "I thought the movie really cheated on the morality of it because it presented this as this slam dunk that the nuke was bad and that these people were bad and the whole thing was bad and that both Einstein and Oppenheimer were moral heroes in some extent trying to line up against this. And I just thought that really cheated the audience." Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT FINDING THEM There is a kind of connection that does not begin with a dramatic meeting. It starts much quieter, as a subtle pull that keeps showing up in the background of ordinary days. Two people can live completely separate lives, yet still feel the same invisible thread drawing their attention again and again. The search was never the point. Awareness was. This is the truth many only understand later. For anyone who has felt that strange sense of recognition without fully knowing why, this is the reminder that the real journey was never about chasing someone down. It was about learning to notice the quiet force that was already connecting you all along.

For anyone who has felt that strange sense of recognition without fully knowing why, this is the reminder that the real journey was never about chasing someone down. It was about learning to notice the quiet force that was already connecting you all along.

MIT GAVE DEBUGGING ITS OWN FULL LECTURE -- BECAUSE MOST DEVS STILL HUNT BUGS WITH PRINT STATEMENTS LIKE IT'S 1995 54 minutes that take the thing you do every single day, badly, and show you the tools schools never bothered to teach. -> The moment it lands, you realize "add a print, run it, add another print" was never debugging. It was guessing with extra steps. Most people never learned the real toolkit. A proper debugger, breakpoints, tracing what the program actually does instead of what you assume it does. In 2026 guessing isn't good enough -> the bug is buried in code you didn't even write, and printf won't find it for you. An AI agent will generate hundreds of lines in seconds. When one of them quietly breaks, finding it runs on exactly the skills in this lecture. Anyone can add a print statement. The person who can actually trace a bug to its source is the one who ships while everyone else guesses. Bookmark & Watch it ↓

🔱IIT Madras professor V. Balakrishnan walks a full classical physics class through the foundations that connect Newton to quantum mechanics - he does it for free. US universities charge over $3,000 per credit to sit in a room and hear this material. Balakrishnan covers more ground in one semester than most Western physics programs fit into two years - and his first lecture alone reframes why classical mechanics matters at all. He opens not with equations but with a question most professors skip: why does classical physics still exist when quantum mechanics replaced it? The answer restructures everything. By the time the introduction ends, you are already inside the mathematical skeleton that connects Newton, Lagrange, Hamilton, and Feynman into one coherent picture. No paywalled syllabus. No overpriced textbook required. Just a blackboard, a professor who clearly spent decades thinking about how to teach this, and a playlist that runs 47 lectures deep. NPTEL filmed the actual university curriculum at 7 Indian Institutes of Technology and put all of it online. Over 3,200 courses, zero subscription. Western institutions have known about this for years and said nothing. ▪ Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics from first principles ▪ Nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory included in the same course ▪ Graduate level, no prerequisites assumed beyond calculus 🔖 Bookmark before the algorithm buries it - this is the kind of content paid platforms charge hundreds of dollars to approximate.

Sam Harris on why consciousness is more certain than the universe — and why free will is a different problem entirely Pulling out a clip from my conversation with Sam Harris (Making Sense Podcast) where he draws an asymmetry I think is worth sitting with. His claim: consciousness is the one thing in the universe that can't be an illusion — even more certain than physics. We could be brains in vats, in the matrix, on an alien supercomputer. None of it changes the fact that something seems to be happening. That seeming IS consciousness. Free will? Different story. Sam argues it's not just illusory but incoherent — provably so, regardless of how you tune determinism vs quantum indeterminism. He agrees with Sapolsky on the conclusion but adds a unique contribution on the experience of free will itself. Curious what the community thinks. Does the consciousness-as-bedrock argument hold under closer inspection, or is it just Descartes in new clothing?

This footage shows Dr. Sharafuddeen Gbadebo Rāji making a recap of his lecture to his Hausa audience present at the lecture. The lecture was delivered in Yoruba so he decided to summarize the lecture in Hausa. Fun fact: He grew up in Jos and was an Imām for the Hausa and Yoruba communities. The Hausas loved him so much they started laying claim to him as one of theirs. He speaks Hausa impeccably that no one would mistake him for a Yoruba man but the 'Gbadebo' in his name is there for a reason. This is despite Jos being one of the most volatile states in Nigeria and famous for religious and tribal crisis. He still holds classes for Hausas to teach them religious knowledge till date. Hausa communities still invite him for lectures even off the shores of Nigeria. Dumbing things down for the Yoruba supremacists.

The objection by the representative of India to Pakistan's mention of Jammu and Kashmir in the Arria Formula meeting was not surprising to us. India, as a party to the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, has actually refused to implement the Security Council resolutions on this dispute, and has even refused to cooperate with the United Nations, including the good offices of the Secretary-General, and with all those mechanisms that form part of Chapter VI. As I stated in my statement, Kashmir is an international dispute. It is on the agenda of the Security Council. It was never a part of India, and it is not, and cannot be, part of India — because this was the core question at the heart of these Security Council resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir. The purpose was to determine the status of this territory: whether it wishes to be part of India or Pakistan. That status has not yet been determined, because the resolutions have not been implemented. To assert that Kashmir is a part of India is, in fact, itself a violation of the relevant Security Council resolutions. Please watch my response below to the misleading remarks of the Indian representative
