Are microtubules the key to consciousness? Every cell has microtubules, but what makes them special in the brain? When they form coherent states and collapse, could that be a moment of consciousness? @skdh shares her thoughts on Penrose and @StuartHameroff's controversial ORCH OR idea and why she finds it hard to believe. What do you think?

Why is the universe so quiet? One grim answer: civilizations smart enough to destroy themselves typically do. @robertwrighter thinks AI is our turn at that test. Passing it takes something no lab can ship. You may be living through the filter. piped.video/watch?v=As5goRND…

Terence Tao: "It's HUMBLING to be a Mathematician"

The marginal cost of intelligence is collapsing toward zero. Yet wisdom remains elusive and expensive. Economists call that mispricing. Physicists call it an unstable equilibrium. Either way, I know which asset I’d rather be accumulating and where the arbitrage opportunities are.

Entropy Does Not Create Disorder. It Creates Order. @carlorovelli Timestamps: 00:00 Your head is older than your feet 00:48 Things left alone get ordered. Who ordered them? 07:00 Low entropy might be about you, not the universe 08:38 You can be in two cities at once, just not to you 11:02 Why start with Galileo when Einstein knew more? 19:34 Galileo misunderstood his own discovery 22:32 Einstein published a paper denying gravitational waves 25:08 The definition of time that explains nothing 26:50 Two clocks, two metres apart, two answers 31:06 Nothing gets recorded without something being lost 33:12 The chess program deliberates. So do you. 37:06 Can a machine have Einstein’s happiest thought? 39:52 Thirty minutes versus a month 44:10 Dark matter made of black holes the size of a hair 51:10 Ten years, unlimited money, a room full of junctions

Carlo Rovelli (@carlorovelli) says you were taught the second law wrong Your head is older than your feet. That's general relativity, and it's how Carlo Rovelli, one of the founders of loop quantum gravity, opened this week's episode of Into the Impossible. We cover why oil separating from water doesn't violate entropy, what Galileo got wrong about his most famous discovery, and why a chess program that deliberates reveals what your own freedom really is. As Carlo puts it: "To imagine that to be free you have to violate the laws of nature is stupid." Watch the video here 👉️ piped.video/watch?v=ngAQz-4_…
