Join my mailing list https://briankeating.com/list to win a real 4 billion year old meteorite! All .edu emails in the USA 🇺🇸 will WIN! Is quantum computing just a fancy new buzzword, or is it the next revolution in physics? I had the honor of discussing this with none other than John Preskill. This was one of John's only podcast interviews. We went deep, discussing artificial intelligence, the simulation hypothesis, lessons from Richard Feynman, and more! John Preskill is the Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology, where he is also the Director of the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter. He is one of the most prolific and influential scientists of our time. He coined the term “quantum supremacy” and is a leading scientist in quantum information science and computation. Preskill's work on magnetic monopoles in Grand Unified Theories highlighted flaws in cosmological models, later addressed by cosmic inflation. Known for his bets with Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne, Preskill was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2014. Tune in!

,Win a meteorite💥! Join my email list: http://briankeating.com/yt What is time? Is it just a ticking clock, or is it something more profound? In this thought-provoking episode of Into the Impossible, Stephen Wolfram challenges everything we know about time, offering a revolutionary computational perspective that could forever change how we understand the universe. Stephen Wolfram is a computer scientist, physicist, and businessman. He is the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research and the creator of Mathematica, Wolfram Alpha, and Wolfram Language. Over the course of 4 decades, he has pioneered the development & application of computational thinking. He has been responsible for many discoveries, inventions & innovations in science, technology, and business. He argues that time is the inevitable progress of computation in the universe, where simple rules can lead to complex behaviors. This concept, termed computational irreducibility, implies that time has a rigid structure and that our perception of it is limited by our computational capabilities. Wolfram also explores the relationship between time, space, and gravity, suggesting that dark matter might be a feature of the structure of space. Tune in to discover the true nature of time. Key Takeaways: 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:51 The true nature of time 00:24:42 The role of computational irreducibility in thermodynamics 00:29:52 The Ruliad and the nature of observers 00:53:28 The role of gravity in the computational universe 01:06:14 Dark matter and the discreteness of space 01:12:54 Paradigm shifts in science and technology 01:20:18 Exploring the cosmic microwave background (CMB) 01:31:32 Outro Additional resources: ➡️ Check out Stephen Wolfram: 💻 Website: https://www.stephenwolfram.com/ ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/stephen_wolfram ➡️ Follow me on your fav platforms: ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating 🔔 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DrBrianKeating?sub_confirmation=1 📝 Join my mailing list: https://briankeating.com/list ✍️ Check out my blog: https://briankeating.com/cosmic-musings/ 🎙️ Follow my podcast: https://briankeating.com/podcast ✨ Get early access to new videos (+other perks): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmXH_moPhfkqCk6S3b9RWuw/join — Into the Impossible with Brian Keating is a podcast dedicated to all those who want to explore the universe within and beyond the known.

Explore one of the most profound questions in cosmology: Was There a Big Bang? Join Dr. Brian Keating in this captivating talk as he dives into the origins of the universe, the concept of the Big Bang, and the revolutionary discoveries shaping modern astrophysics. Learn about groundbreaking experiments like the Simons Observatory and BICEP2, the challenges of studying cosmic relics like the Cosmic Microwave Background, and the thrilling quest to understand whether our universe is unique or part of a vast multiverse. Dr. Keating weaves together science, philosophy, and humor to address three fundamental mysteries: • How did the universe begin? (00:09:00) • Is there evidence for a multiverse? (00:16:30) • What does it mean for humanity to explore these cosmic questions? (00:25:15) Featuring anecdotes from Nobel laureates, insights into inflationary theory, and the humility of scientific discovery, this talk challenges the boundaries of what we know about existence itself.
