What would Brian Greene do if he could travel through time, and which future technology is he most excited about? After our full interview, I had the privilege to sit down with Brian and ask him a few more questions. Enjoy this exclusive Q&A with one of the most renowned physicists of our time! And if you haven’t already, check out our full interview: https://youtu.be/qpsxH7mOopM Brian Greene is an American theoretical physicist and mathematician. He’s a professor at Columbia University and the director of Columbia’s Center for Theoretical Physics. He has gained a lot of popularity through his books that bring complex physical issues closer to general audiences: The Elegant Universe (1999), Icarus at the Edge of Time (2008), The Fabric of the Cosmos (2004), and The Hidden Reality (2011), a book he promoted in the TV show The Big Bang Theory!

,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.

,Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmXH_moPhfkqCk6S3b9RWuw/join On November 6, 2024 UCSD Prof Brian Keating spoke at UC Riverside Public Lecture Series. 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. A must-watch for anyone curious about the cosmos and our place within it. 🎥 Watch now and take the first step in your cosmic journey! 🌌 📚 Get Dr. Keating’s book and learn more about the discoveries that shape our universe, My tell-all cosmic memoir Losing the Nobel Prize: http://amzn.to/2sa5UpA 📚 Get a copy of my books: Think Like a Nobel Prize Winner, with life changing interviews with 9 Nobel Prizewinners: https://a.co/d/03ezQFu 🔗 Full details on the Simons Observatory: simonsobservatory.org The first-ever audiobook from Galileo: Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems: Ptolemaic and Copernican https://a.co/d/iZPi9Un 📺 Watch my most popular videos:📺 Neil Turok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt5cFLN65fI Frank Wilczek https://youtu.be/3z8RqKMQHe0?sub_confirmation=1 Eric Weinstein vs. Stephen Wolfram https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI0AZ4Y4Ip4?sub_confirmation=1 Sir Roger Penrose: https://youtu.be/AMuqyAvX7Wo Sabine Hossenfelder: https://youtu.be/g00ilS6tBvs Avi Loeb: https://youtu.be/N9lUceHsLRw Follow me to ask questions of my guests: 🏄‍♂️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating 🔔 Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/DrBrianKeating?sub_confirmation=1 📝 Join my mailing list; just click here http://briankeating.com/mailing_list ✍️ Detailed Blog posts here: https://briankeating.com/blog.php 🎙️ Listen on audio-only platforms: https://briankeating.com/podcast #universe #podcast #briankeating #intotheimpossible #science #astronomy #cosmology #cosmicmicrowavebackground #intotheimpossible #briankeating
