This week we talk about three new laws of nature, one of which supposedly shows that we live in a computer simulation. We’ll have a first look at intergalactic filaments, talk about building roads on the moon, whether chatbots understand what they chat about, a new type of qubit with a low error rate, sound waves in crystals, how to deflect lasers with nothing but air, dunes on mars, the first hurricane prediction market, and of course, the telephone will ring.

If you can create a simulation so accurate down to last subatomic particle. Wouldn't they be recreation. An artificial parwell universe away for time travel
Climatologist said by 2018 the Maldives will be under water
Love you keeping science honest
The simulation theory is childish. The theory called 'Binary Physics and Buddhism' is better.
Sabine, next time you talk to Elon ask him if he'd be interested in owning an original copy of Das Marsprojekt personally inscribed by Werner von Braun to Wolfgang B. Klemperer. I'm still trying to get my uncle to scan the pages so I can send them to you, it's all in German and I'd love to hear your translation and thoughts about it. He found it at a flea market while he was at flight school in Pensacola back in the early 70s.
Would love a video specifically on the assembly theory paper.
Thanks for the feedback!
Me, too.
Please don't
If the sysadmin catches you it's rm /*.* for you 😮
@@SabineHossenfelder Same here! I love your work!
Yes, I'd love to hear more from you on the Assembly Theory paper. Also this paper seems to have sparked some controversy so it would be helpful to hear your take on that as well.
The mars flyover video footage gives a great idea. Place a bigfoot running over the mars landscape for a good laugh.
Physical law # 42. The number of socks that come out of the dryer is precisely 1 less than socks that go in.
As always, I appreciate the whimsy and healthy skepticism that you bring to my week.
She is not being skeptic, she is just demonstrating she doesn't understand philosophy of science.
I agree with you. Keeps us grounded
@@LNVACVAC What do you mean?
@@RuthvenMurgatroyd Science isn't meant to explain anything, but to describe and then viabilize transformative action.
Most ontological problems will not be solved by science. Stabilishing a law in terms of describing a natural dynamic is completely different from demonstrating from where any dynamic emerges. Newton's Gravitation doesn't solve the problem "Where gravity comes from" apart from the fact gravity, matter and space are contiguous. In the same way biology defines life from it's conventional properties, not from where supposedly life comes from or emerged.
On the first part of the video she criticizes them for not showing the math of it. However you can't show the math of anything without first delineating the primary fact and analysis to the field. Only then math can be applied to investigation. Math already demonstrates there are possible emergent properties in nature, but math itself doesn't delineate the specializations and conditions of these properties in nature, ie. Math is still only representational in factual matters. These articles address the fact there must be a reality to complexity and information beyond mathematical description, beyond physics, beyond work, and permeating the matter of agency/intent/meaning. They are fundational articles and in being so they are as philosophycal as they are supposed to be scientific.
Please never stop the Science News show. It is a gem and a blessing on CZcams!!
I wonder what we are really listning to as aposed to hearing
The photo from the Harvard quantum lab is hilarious! 🤣(Lead author pretends to tweak alignment while Post Doc grimly looks forward to an all night re-alignment session).
The image is at 9:16, but the subtext of the guy on the left having a difficult realignment session ahead of him isn't obvious to me. Also, losing sleep over realignment doesn't seem worth it.
My inference is absurdist and ignorant. It's my comfort zone.
“Do chatbots understand what they chat about?” … To the contrary, chatbots make me wonder if people understand what we chat about. I suspect that our mental processes are more similar to what chatbots do than most people would care to believe. Remember when humans discovered that we are actually just another type of animal?
Yes of course they do, just like the car understands it needs to turn whenever we turn the steering wheel. If the car was human-like, it would without doubt protest and go crashing on a wall.
I think the chatbot is a piece of what we are. There is also a part that does recognition. Like a tree or a cat (big or small). There is another part that does understanding. Maybe several other parts. When you hear people taking in word salad, the understanding part is not working. For example because the understanding part does NOT understand the subject. (Different than misunderstanding, if that part has an understanding of the subject, but it's wrong, it's still doing its job just fine. Garbage in garbage out and all). Word salad is the language part doing its job, making sentences that are related to the subject. But they don't convey an idea. Look at where the language centers of the brain are. The parts that causes strange linguistic aberrations when damaged. The executive functions are located in a different area. These are the "higher" brain functions. Where you would expect to find "understanding". There are different levels of understanding too. There's spacial awareness. My cat knows that. When I show him a video of a bird on a tablet, he figures out that the screen is like a window. He can't get to the bird through the window. But unlike the windows in the house he likes to sleep on,it looks like you can get around behind the tabley. So he tries to go around behind the tablet and get in to get the bird that way. But he doesn't have those executive functions in his brain like more advanced primates do. The executive functions stitch all those together and can abstract those concepts. They can even handle abstract concepts that don't connect to any real world situations. For example, abstract mathematical relationships and concepts.
Parrots have language ability too. Some have even been known to string words together in original ways. If doing that gets them a treat, they will keep doing it. But it's no different than chat GPT. They DO have controlling functions in their brain. They have to because they can stitch together all the parts. But they don't seem to have the sort of functions that some primates do that are called "executive functions". It should be noted with animals though, it's possible we may find similar things in other more sophisticated animals with large developed brains, in different places than we do with primates, especially if it evolved in an independent lineage from primates. (If say, someone tomorrow found that whales and dolphins had executive functions, but they were tucked in the back somewhere, or something instead of in the part of the brain they are found in in primates, it would not be particularly shocking because the an extra we share with them are far older than the executive functions under discussion.
ChatGPT is just a language processor. It needs executive functions that can direct it.
12:01 That could open up an entirely new era of automated welding. Instead of pulsed laser: you use a standard laser at full output and then use sound vibration to pulse the beam itself in order to modulate the amount of energy hitting the material and give it the opportunity to melt and pool rather than vaporize.
@@O-es2zn If you can interrupt the beam at regular intervals though: you can intentionally moderate not the beam - but how much energy the beam actually transfers to the material.
Shutters don't modulate the sun's radiation output - they moderate how much of it enters your house.
By creating an interference pattern in the beam you could not only liquefy the base metal of the directed zone in an intentional way. Such as using a very precise beam which dances side to side between the edges of the would be joint in order to very effectively pool the seam, very rapidly, with almost no heat-transfer or heat migration to the rest of the material.
Precise, very small welds with vastly less heat migration would be an astonishing advancement for the currently emerging micro/nano technologies.
Edit: I had another idea - but instead of micro-tech: industrial. Imagine a wave interference system on the end of a powerful laser emitter guide similar to current welding torch. No more need for noble gas tanks or attaching electrodes to the work piece.
You use the interference to distort the beam over a wider surface where you're welding to blast away dirt, rust, impurities and in less than a fraction of a second after that wider beam strike the beam dances to nearly instantly pool the material of the joint and create the weld: then continues to traverse those differing interference patterns very rapidly, perhaps thousands of times per second: and the welder just moves the torch head along the seam - creating a clean weld free of impurities or contaminates in spite of not doing the usual grinding/polishing prep work and not needing a noble gas or flux.
*And* still do so without having to change the area being welded on either - because he wouldn't have to deal with the possibility of heat migration warping the material.
This could make even industrial welding several times more efficient.
Thank you so much Sabine for delivering the science news without any of the hype and bullshit. I'm glad you didn't have to suffer through yet another segment on room temperature superconductors.
Law number 1 - Please do not leave your rubbish in nature.
law number 2 please do not feed nature
Law of natur number 1 - We don't talk about nature.
But seriously.... Wouldn't number 1 be:
You can't violate the laws of nature, even if you tried.
This rings true on so many levels
In theory, you can violate the laws of Nature. But in less than a picosecond Nature violates you. 😁
Also true if you mean Nature as in journal
Yes please more about those papers in the beginning!
0:41: 🌌 This week's science news covers three new laws of nature, including one suggesting we live in a computer simulation.
3:54: 🔬 Scientists have observed intergalactic gas filaments for the first time, confirming our model of the universe.
6:54: 🌑 Scientists have developed a method using concentrated light to melt moon dust into a solid structure strong enough to carry vehicles.
10:38: 🔬 Researchers observe sound waves spreading in crystals and redirect laser beams with air.
14:05: 🌀 A group from two UK universities is launching the world's first hurricane prediction market.
Recapped using Tammy AI
I think making a theory on these three papers will be a very good idea. At least a video on assembly theory is a must.
Being in a simulation wouldn't make anything "matter" less. In fact I can't even conceive of a reason why it would "matter" at all if we were or weren't in one.
People get hung up on the realness of reality as if it changes their day to day lives. It won't, unless they have a cheat code or can turn on god-mode. Like the Agents said in The Matrix, "we have no choice but to continue as planned."
But wouldn’t being in a simulation infer a higher dimension running the simulation? And this imply a simulation creator?
@@yvesaugustin912 Yes, it would. But what would that change for us? In my opinion, for us it's completely irrelevant whether the universe is a simulation run by a machine, a creation run by a god or a system that's running by itself. We're in it and we can observe it from within but we don't have any agency in the larger scale of things.
It doesn't matter if we're in a simulation or not. In the past people imagined anthropromorphic gods. Now they're imagining anthropromorphic scientists or gamers. It's like going into other universes or getting information from them. By definition you can't, otherwise they'd be part of this universe.
@yvesaugustin912 The simulation creator doesn't matter though. We would never have any evidence that they even know we exist, as there is a non zero chance the simulation would have nothing to do with us. It could simply be a universe simulation and life showing up was incidental.
Finally an attempt to understand why nature is complexifying and not Boltzmann picture. I believe one key of understanding will be achieved when we understand why it complexifies while producing much more photons lower energy.
I would love to see more about the complexity evolution and assembly theory ideas. Thanks for all that you do!

Your shooting down papers from the hip skills are quite impressive. Thanks for the hit on the computer simulation paper.
Thanks for all the news, Sabine! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Sabine, may I make an observation on your videos. Firstly I'd like to point out that I do enjoy them very much and find them very useful and of course entertaining (I love the use of your children's phone, although now I feel a little guilty knowing that you took it from them for my amusement). My point is, the pause between items is often very short. Sometimes so short I hardly notice one item has ended and the next has begun. I think of news broadcasts and, for the first time, I have noticed the deliberate pause they make. I say this only in the spirit of hopefully being helpful. Please keep them coming. 👍
It used to be that there wasn't even that musical cue that the topic had changed. I agree that there should be slightly longer gaps in general. It's a little too "wall to wall". I wouldn't mind if a 17' video became a 17'10" video.
11:18 I would love to be a fly on the wall of one of those conversations. 🤣
Intresting, as always! Thank you very much.
The old explanation for we get more order rather than less, is that it happens in systems through which energy is flowing, such as a laser or the earth. If you count the energy radiated away, entropy is still increasing. It's just that some of the energy "did work" and thus lowered the entropy in part of a larger system.
the change in entropy and the change in complexity are not obviously related
Yea was thinking something similar. Like, any "systems" in the universe aren't enclosed. Energy/information/stuff can leave and enter. From planets, to solar systems, to galaxies, etc. But the entire universe as a whole can be considered a "closed off system". (unless other universes exist, AND one is interacting with ours of course) And I thought it was already established that the universe as a whole is (very VERY slowly) heading towards higher entropy.
I think autocatalytic sets explain emergent complexity nicely and Sabine already did a video discussing it.
It's the evolution of complexity to the extreme (specifically, us meatbags) that is the mystery here.
@Sanquinity The universe is absolutely heading toward maximum entropy but is very young still.
I'm reading through the "Mind within the net", which tries to describe the human brain using neural network models, and now the scientists seem to do the inverse of that, what a progress
this idea is at least 60 years old
@@EarthgazerYeah, of course. I'm talking about humans using methods previously used to study real brains (and to verify predictions of the neural network model of the brain) to study artificial neural networks
fMRI? 😂
@@youonlytubeonce Did you read the new cutting edge research in Neuroscience? Memory is now totally understood. A test subject thought about a memory and a pixel lit up on the fMRI screen , so it's confirmed that the brain almost certainly has something to do with thinking, but thoughts are an illusion it creates to fool us . Reality is a invention of humanity to ignore the fact that we don't exist. Scientists are currently drawing more lines on a ruler to make the measurements of reality more precise.
I would appreciate a longer video on the papers please! Your content is greatly appreciated

I wonder how well the laser melted moon method would actually work considering the much lower gravity and atmosphere. There would be a lot less surface pressure on the liquid and when it cools it wouldn’t necessarily form the same lattice and could potentially be much weaker
Dust in space is a big problem to overcome for space explorers.🤖
I think that ropeways with cabins would work best on the moon.
I think pogoing from one spot to another.
Thank you!! I would certainly like the video on "infodynamics" and how exactly it might collerate with simulation theory.

If we live in a simulation, someone needs to have words with the programmers.
They dont talk to me anymore 😁 last thing he told me was "bye (name) it will be over before you know it and you are being cared for by us" yea wicked
I am pretty sure I was lagging last week.
And who are these programmers?
Let's face it, this simulation theory is basically creationism.
Atheists possessed by the very archetypes they reject! as Jung would say...
The "programmer" was probably just some random AI, run by a big company, asked to make a little simulation of life by a teenager with too much time on their hands and who likes playing games. They're doing it as part of a school project. It would be funny if that kid told the AI to communicate that to the simulated life, just before ending the program and finishing their class presentation. 😂

AI chatbots may well appear to understand more about their topics than they actually do. How is that different from many human commentators?
it isn't
@@anywallsocketIt seems that you misunderstood the question.
It's not so much different from the pretentious humans who can use the BS-jargon, but can't do the job entailed to it... Like the guy who can make and land the jokes about "Whip it" regarding welding, but put a stick welder in his hands, and all you're going to have to show for it is a fire hazard and a mess...
However, if ChatGPT DOES really understand what it's talking about in regard to the places and cities, install it into a self-driving car and tell it what city you're in... See if it can actually GET to New York or Paris... I highly doubt it.
Humans, CAN really understand the terms as well as the sum of those terms... HOW the numbers mean more than arbitrary values to be absorbed to database, processed through functions and equations, and spit out as test-answer results. Real Life is NOT like that history or geography test you took in High School. If you talk the talk, someone's going to expect you to step up and walk the walk... and I see no relevant evidence that ChatGPT or any other AI-bots can do that. They can only ever copy out what they already have saved up to cross-reference for the best list of answers.
Granted, this is a HUGELY functional advantage humans have over most other animals as defining ourselves to be "intelligent"... BUT there's more to real intelligence than that, and that's exactly why we STILL fight and argue over defining intelligence as a value, itself. Without a solid definition of that, you can't hope to build nor test for Artificial Intelligence of any kind... AND even if you could, the step past that is Artificial SENTIENCE, and the quality of being truly self aware, a state many humans even seem somewhat diminished... ;o)

You think they would be a little more creative with the name of the canines instead of calling them all Rover.
The verb to rove?
The fact that the first paper doesn't contain anything new actually makes it interesting, because that would mean there is a well-known connection between physical entropy and information theory and/or complexity theory.

Love the quizzes with videos
It's possible that a defined complexity law can exist. We do see how some things become unpredictable as we study them much more closely, never really reaching end of how close we can get at it - instead more variables are found. However, if it can exist, whether such law is useful will depend how it can be used. Maybe as a measure? In any case, it's too soon to assume there is such law.
When Sabine says something is mathematically vague, I take her word for it.
that's a bad habit
@@anywallsocket don't be silly. She has a degree in mathematics and a doctorate in theoretical physics and several years of experience in science writing and education. I, on the other hand, have a degree in film production and a minor in philosophy (with a focus on science and epistemology), and I'm only moderately good at math. Taking her word doesn't mean assuming she's infallible; it isn't argument from authority, it's a rational heuristic. In the absence of contradictory evidence, the odds that she is correct about a subject she has expertise in is greater than the odds that a nonexpert, including myself, is correct.
@@timhaldane7588 A rational heuristic would be to not develop an opinion on something you’re unfamiliar with. Or if you feel the need, then be sure to bring along with it your own doubts. And if you’re just out here collecting opinions you should at least do so from multiple sources. Everything else you said I agree with.
@@anywallsocket doubt comes with me everywhere, my friend. That's the nature of philosophy, or at least the nature of honest philosophy. But doubt is a double edged sword. Experts are fallible, and so am I (hence the probabalistic approach). This is why your description of a rational heuristic seems to have a bit of a bootstrap / chicken and egg problem (and that's coming from a died-in-the-wool fence-sitting hard agnostic). Namely, how are you supposed to judge your familiarity with a subject without making some implicit assumptions about what is both relevant and correct? You make a provisional guess. I'm just saying, hey, Sabine says something about a subject she's an expert in and I'm not, and nothing sticks out as an obvious flaw in her reasoning, so her take sounds like a reasonable starting point. If she's wrong, so be it, I didn't plan on dying on that hill anyway.
@@timhaldane7588 ain't gotta tie yourself up in knots there my friend, i'm just saying taking people's word for things is a bad habit
I think the key to complexity lays in the fact that no matter how high the statistical probability is, an outlier could occur. Introducing factors that seem to violate the rule.
I agree, it's like with a lottery: the probability of winning is super small, and the general "law" is that you lose. But sooner or later, a guy wins, and there's no special law that caused that particular guy to win. Similarly, there doesn't have to be a special reason for local complexity increase (Earth "won the lottery").
@@skunkfarmcanada Such as the one given by groin_stomper above.
@@skunkfarmcanada Stats say there must somewhere be one, BUT it does in no way specify it must be "ours". You seemed to have missed the entire point.
@@skunkfarmcanada I did not intend to "insult" and I in no way implied/said or indicated that you were wrong by saying that the law was statistics, it was that the point was that "complexity being special" is merely the luck of the draw as it were, it's the outlier, not the mean and doesn't violate the laws of statistics since outliers occur. PSA::: Saying someone missed the point is not of nesc. an insult. Nobody gets everyone else's view all the time, let alone it's exact and precise meaning, it should not be insulting or taken as an insult to imply/state or outright say a human did a thing all humans do. That being said again I am sorry you took it as an insult when it was intended to just state a communicative data point.
Yes, definitely would like a longer video on the topic of the new "fundamental laws of nature!"
Real is dual to not real (imaginary, virtual, simulated) -- complex numbers.

Functions are teleological as they have a goal or target.
The integers are self dual as they are their own conjugates.
Positive is dual to negative -- electric charge or numbers.
Teleological physics (syntropy) is dual to non teleological physics (entropy).
Syntropy (prediction) is dual to increasing entropy -- the 4th law of thermodynamics!

Complexity is dual to simplicity.
Trying to wrestle the math out of philisophical ideas seems to be a trend these days.
I love this channel thank you!!!!
If Llama analyzed the song California Uber Alles, would Jerry Brown be the president of the world? And all I've learned about optical tweezers is that they're not very good for tweezing your eyebrows. You see Sabine, I do learn something from your videos.
First!!!
Thanks for the video; please go deeper into the new information laws.
Yes, please do make a longer video concerning the rise of complexity and these new papers. Many thanks!
Yeah, Dr. Paul! Great video, Dr. Sabine!
Hi Sabine. I first discovered this channel last week, and most of it went straight over my head. But I give it another try this time, and this video seems to be spoken a bit slower, so it helped me to get into it. I like your sceptical approach and honest opinions. The sense of humour is also great, and there were at least 6 or 7 good jokes in this episode.
On the Lunar Laser Roads topic, moondust is apparently very tiny balls of glass, which can cut space suits. But like any sand, it can be made into glass fairly easily. So making roads of glass might sound good, until you come to realize glass roads are not very high on grip. I can imagine glass houses on mars and on the moon, but roads? I'm not sure.
The laser road samples had a preformed pattern with holes much like a grid, and the whole road wasn't done as a single segment so the triangular path likely creates imperfections or texture that helps give grip
@@SavageOne420 - Thanks for the info. Makes sense. Good point, and lets not forget, if you have sand, you have sandpaper.
Yes, I would love to hear more about the physics of complexity! Maybe it is possible to look also at the "older" theories, e.g. Helmut Haken, Manfred Eigen, Ilya Prigogine and even Humberto Maturana?

Are you German(your name)? Reading your comment(especially mentioning Maturana) I just had to think about a lecture of Niklas Luhmann about the theory of open systems that I recently watched on CZcams(recorded in 1992). It's really, really good but unfortunetely only available in German as far as I know.
Great one-liners, fast and furious!
I really enjoy your humor))
Would love to see a longer video breaking down the topics in the beginning of the video. Melvin Vopson has an interesting paper where he proposes a mass-energy-information equivalence principle. And I remember you saying to pay attention to complexity and condensed matter physics not too long ago.

A much better conjecture on complexity is Susskind's 2nd law of complexity.
The hypothesis is, black hole interior volume growth is determined by the complexity of its quantum state, not by its entropy, which maximizes quickly since black holes reach thermal equilibrium extremely fast, but their volume grows indefinitey in general relativity.
Another beautiful sign that quantum mechanics and spacetime geometry are related.
Yes, Sabine. The Assembly thingy seems the right candidate for a new video.
yes, a more detailed analysis video on the technical papers would be super interesting. even informal thoughts / critiques would be cool to see, as a peer review of contemporaries 🤙
I love your channel. So much content and work. You've given a real gift of knowledge and your own time to people. You are an amazing human being and scientist. I have a dual degree in chemistry and philosophy from NYU, and I'd love to see a whole video on assembly theory. Assembly theory could be a profound insight into life, physics and the universe.
Some really smart people like Sara Imari Walker and Lee Cronin are involved in idea. Assembly theory has profound implications for how we understand entropy among other things and I feel some of those ideas align with your thoughts from your entropy video. I would love to hear your reply, but it's CZcams. I would have had to post right after you released this video.
Yes, that was bullshit. ;-)
I think you're chasing glitzy nonsense. Yes biology assembles very complex structures, that's obvious, yes biology does not follow entropy at least not in any classical sense but that's because it's always taking energy from some source and it is not a closed system. Last but not least the real determinant of whether a complex structure is reproduced is simply whether or not it is selected. Does that structure help organisms stay alive?. If it doesn't, it's not selected. It's pretty simple actually Darwin figured all this out there's been an enormous filling in of the blanks and buttressing of his central insight. The notion that physicists are going to somehow Sweep All That away with some new mathematics is just just the tribal grandiosity of physics as a discipline. Physics can make some contributions but it's not going to throw away selection, adaptation, and fitness.
@@douglaswatt1582 Nobody in physics proper ever said that it does. Dude, can you even hear yourself? :-)
I'd love to see a longer video on these papers
How odd that there has been 3 papers on something I've been thinking for a while...
- What is evolution in term of physical properties? "Increasing complexity to decrease overall work" - can be applied to almost every change we see occurring.
- Under which situation does it occurs? The planet needs to be energy stable. Too much energy and the system is destroyed. Too little, and the system doesn't have the "incentive" required.
- Can it be plotted? I believe so. Each steps - amino-acids, unicellular, multicellular, etc - speeds up at each steps.
- When does it stop? I'm not sure it ever does.
10:34 on a slight tangent; I love how the "yea yea" is transcribed as an authentic "jaja" in the subtitles :D
Sure I would appreciate furthering up about this!
Yes, please, make a video about the possible new law. Thanks a lot 😊
Please do a video about the 3 papers, or the idea that the universe creates complexity
Love your videos, slept on by too many people
I vote for more videos on the simulation hypothesis!
I think of LLMs this way: Large Language Models are impressive statistical programmes designed to compute rankable probabilistic output in response to an input. There isn't room or 'headspace' for humanlike contemplation or that experiential and (probably soundless!) click moment we get when we suddenly understand something.
The fact it demonstrates a nonzero probability of outputting a wrong answer is down to the fact that in calculating, ranking, and building up, step-by-step, the next likeliest morpheme, the next likeliest word, the next likeliest phrase, the next likeliest sentence, it will construct the nearest path of least unintelligibility which in some cases leads it to produce an output which has maximal intelligibility but which deviates from the factual consistencies of the knowledge bases inherent and implied in its training data.
In short LLMs are not essentially knowledge-based systems.
Thank you
Yes please do a deep dive into infodynamics
I would like a longer video on the complexity papers.
There has been some debate regarding the Assembly Theory Paper. The story is in summary that Data scientist Dr. Hector Zenil explains that the assembly theory proposed in the paper is basically a simple compression algorithm (RLE, run-length enconding one of the first examples of compression that you learn in the first years of Computer Science in College/University), and as such, it doesn't answer the questions that it aims to do. He (Hector) explained that he contacted at least one of the authors and explained the reason why this proposal needs revision (Dr Lee Cronin), but he didn't respond or come back to him. If I'm not mistaken (and forgive me for the vague details, it happened a couple of weeks ago) Dr Zenil is publishing a paper as a response of the AT Paper.
Hi Sabine, I am a nurse Who livres in germany and I feel fascinanted by your Videos. Thank you very much, I unterstand such difficult Things when u explain it (well not entirely, cause I am a nurse..but u know)
just putting in my vote for more of your thoughts on the 2nd law of infodynamic, thank you!

7:54😂😂 a good one
this is all so incredible...
we take as a matter of course these days that lies and hate have jaded us, but how friggin amazing is it that we're also jaded to these marvels?!
i mean we're talking about single atoms we hold in place that maybe we can compute with!
but that our boring regular computers already seem to have temporal and spacial awareness, whatevs.
Oh you need a laser bent? here lemme just squeeze the air with hypersound right quick...
the fact this is all in a (admittedly FANTASTIC) random weekly YT video just blows my mind!
the immediate future is truly a place of sheer wonder...
Grats' on 1mill subs.. 😊
I think a lot of ideas get muddled up: information, entropy, order, complexity. On reflection what really interests us is ORDER. We confuse this with information. In a way order and information have an inverse relationship. Less order means more entropy and more information. What about complexity? Well doesn't complexity increase along with information and entropy? So really we want entropy, information and complexity to be reduced, not increased, so as to create more order. Of course a lot of work was done on this subject years ago by Ilya Prigozhin, who analysed "Dissipative Systems". These create order in one place by increasing disorder in another place.
The answer is yes! More Sabine! 😊
