- That the cosmos is a computer sounds like a modern metaphor, a way of explaining how things work. But some make a bolder claim: that the cosmos is in reality a computer, not just as metaphor. This would mean that all that exists in the physical universe is in essence the computational process of the universe itself generating itself. Does that make sense?

So did the catholic church for centuries. There were those who never bought that either... ideas should never be reduced, they should be revealed.
I actually could visualize and understand what susskind was saying, he has got to be one of the best physics explainers.
One of the greatest scientific minds.
Yeah, he’s saying my brain wasn’t built to understand it, I can get that part.
Yes, being a layman in physics, I sort of understood, quite a few complex things that he explained in lucid and clear terms. But mostly, genius physicists tend to over complicate things for a man with normal IQ
Almost sounds like 'convenient engineering'... the universe displaying all/most contained information at its surface, like a giant spherical screen, where observing from the outside could be possible without interfering with the inside, where an imagined 'first layer of Gods' can watch, study and be well entertained.
The ultimate aquarium. A metaphysical puzzle piece to the age-old question of what Gods do when an instance of eternity gets long towards the end, and knitting just isn't enough to fill long winter nights.
Right? I've heard this all explained before but it only just sank in.
I love how these brilliant videos come out either once every six months or once every six years 😄
Yeah, Closer To Truth starting filming in the around 2010 I believe. This video is likely 6 or 7 years old.
Susskind is FAR from brilliant.
Leonard Susskind "I'm not an historian but I'll venture an opinion: Modern cosmology really began with Darwin and Wallace. Unlike anyone before them, they provided explanations of our existence that completely rejected supernatural agents... Darwin and Wallace set a standard not only for the life sciences but for cosmology as well."
They were two losers just like Susskind is. All of them reject science and what it proves.
Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God.

Simulation parameters: Can a basic germ of consciousness upgrade itself into complex algorithm and reveal the face of game designer? 😎
Kind of like playing hide & seek with our little kids. Time doesn't matter to the game designer as he can always fast forward it at will. The fun of it while life evolves into greater and greater complexity (for us in the simulation) to ultimately get up and see behind the curtain 👽
game designer?
Lawrence with Susskind is a must watch.
I really like the direction Klee Irwin has gone with his Emergence Theory, a code-theoretic approach to information theory which proposes that the cosmos (including the information underpinning the physical spacetime we live in is in deep computational, but is not a deterministic algorithm but a language- a code with syntactic degrees of freedom that could explain the role of consciousness & the possibility of free will. It’s all built off of E8 & studying the possible structure of the vacuum to provide a geometric basis for understanding the link between the physical & the informational (or the ideal if you’re Platonistically inclined).
One of the greatest minds of our time.
Wonderful description of the human brain Sir!!
I have questions, dr Susskind, is this theory compatible with big bang theory? and if it is, does expanding of universe mean that whole amount of information universe can hold is expanding? or isamount of information universe can hold static, but only holographic illusion is expanding??
As I’ve been saying of recent. So we found the code but, the computer is missing. It suggests that the thing we know of as now is a central processor unit or cpu but it seems to be broken into parts that are needed for the result we see. How’s that happen?
Binge-watching Closer to Truth, here....This one went a bit over my head.
Best channel on CZcams
I knew it! We are in a reality show that is watched by beings that perceive more than 3 dimensions.
We effed up the day we started to count and measure things. We limited our reality to hold a false sensation of control.
Love listening to LS. But, this theory is based on the idea of projecting the surface area/ information ideas of black holes onto the Universe as a whole, which seems to assume an equivalence in the physics between the two. Since we don't know the physics within black holes how do we know this equivalence to be true? It could be that the information is held by the Universe in a way that is nothing like that of the unique nature of black holes.
There is an equivalence... The information falling into black holes comes from the rest of the universe, and that information is best described in pixels not voxels
I agree that the video should've contained an explanation by Susskind as to mechanism by which he derives his hologram theory of the universe in total from localized black hole hologram observations.
AH: What if our universe IS just the inside of some other universe's black hole? This, what we see, what we have, what we study, what we are or seem to be, could be what the inside of a black hole is. The mass that made that BH collapsed under its own gravity in its home universe, a BH whose singularity now keeps our newer universe forever separated from, and inaccessible to, any aspect or location in the BH's universe. And vice versa. And from that BH collapse in its home universe emerges on the other side a stupendous White Hole, i.e., our big bang. It's speculative, and maybe fanciful, but may have some useful ideas for thought and exploration. We are the inside of someone else's BH. This universe - that's what the inside of a BH is. And if so, then yes, our holographic universe would be the result of the information stored on the surface of the other universe's BH. What do you think?
@@geoffreytylerpayne Add to that a simple assumption that the information doesn't somehow change in it's fundamental behavior as it travels through our known universe, including when it slams into the black hole's event horizon, and you are kind of forced to conclude that the information inside our universe is "pixelated" everywhere. From there it's a mindbending journey through mathematics, leading you to the only way to rectify that. Which is to just put the pixels infinitely far away, and then bound our universe. Finally, you step back and look at this picture, both literal and mathematical, and realize it's exactly the same picture you got when you described the information structure of black holes.
Now... that's ALL that's happening here. LS uses this fascinating analytical consequence to demonstrate the power of the analytical tools that have been developed since he started his Physics Adventure. But it is no more than a fascinating analytical consequence at the moment. There's no real "meaning" to be gleaned from it.
@@daviddavis-vanatta1017 WoW. But didn't get the white hole conception clearly. And one more thing to add, may be that's why our universe is growing like a black hole increases it volume or surface area by devouring more and more objects or information of the universe within which it exists. May be the event horizon of this BH is ever increasing boundaries of our observable universe. This even supports the hypothetical conjectures about multiverse, that is, a universe within a universe and that within another universe.
But still I don't understand the concept of white holes. And also what about the anti matter? Anything to do with Hawking radiation? What about dark matter?
Plato said the same thing in different words. His theory of the forms is another way of explaining the hologram we live in, the projection we are and everything is.
More interesting points from these interviews. Makes me wonder if information in the universe is infinite? Of course, that would be exhausting if you are trying to "figure it out." On the other hand, if information in the universe is finite, that would be disappointing--maybe.
That’s an interesting explanation.
When was this filmed?
Is it possible that information is unlimited, no matter the "defined" area you are looking at? Is there anything telling us that information is not unlimited, ie the universe cannot actually be reduced to 1s and 0s? What would be the implications of this?
is it a newly fresh interview or an old record & cuz if it's new, than the most astonishing thing except that out universe is a hologram is that Leonard looks so young and energetic for his real age(81)
I like the way you described reality how we have to deal with it whether we like it or not and we have to invent a way to describe the truth my hat off to you for put it in in clear language That a layman Can understand
susskind is a plumber who happens to do theoretical physics
thats why he is so good at explaining these things
Working on a branch of physics called supersymmetry, Dr. James Gates Jr., discovered what he describes as the presence of what appear to resemble a form of computer code, called error correcting codes, embedded within, or resulting from, the equations of supersymmetry that describe fundamental particles. Gates asks, "How could we discover whether we live inside a Matrix? One answer might be Try to detect the presence of codes in the laws that describe physics." And this is precisely what he has done. Specifically, within the equations of supersymmetry he has found, quite unexpectedly, what are called "doubly-even self-dual linear binary error-correcting block codes." That's a long-winded label for codes that are commonly used to remove errors in computer transmissions, for example to correct errors in a sequence of bits representing text that has been sent across a wire. Gates explains, "This unsuspected connection suggests that these codes may be ubiquitous in nature, and could even be embedded in the essence of reality. If this is the case, we might have something in common with the Matrix science-fiction films, which depict a world where everything human being's experience is the product of a virtual-reality-generating computer network."
I see some resemblance between error codes and a feedback in automatic control that makes an object stable in the presence of random disturbances.
Say that again
More proof of a Creator.
Also observing phenomena like Zipf’s Law, Benford’s Law, fractal geometry, synchronicity and the fine-structure constant, and we soon start to realize our so-called laws and constants are nothing more than parameters within a large algorithm we call the universe. The fingerprint of God.
They're usually called parity check codes or hamming codes, yeah be mentioned it a few times and it sounds really tantalising, it could also indicate that information loss is a fundamental property of the universe, so it has a mechanism to reconstruct lost information. Also, information loss may indicate that the universe is not deterministic.. Well well!😬
Magic is also counterintuitive and I think we have to console ourselves with the idea that we will never understand "the world" - today we have to say the cosmos. This time I can agree to Professor Süsskind! He points at something very true! We need abstract mathematical models to get along, without impossible!
Finally a good question ;)
1:19 -- Greydon Square would love this...
The wave function of the universe is similar to the surface of the event horizon. Both aren't able to encode complex relations and emerging complex information...
Information within a given galaxy is proportional to the surface area of a black hole. All galaxies are self contained units.
Leonard is Superb.

It is been forced upon us from an original thought that had been reciprocated and corresponded to others. I’ve been exploring this idea for at least the last 10 years of my life.
Does that mean that the same message is given forever or does each strand of time provide a snapshot of a different message. If we bring in any theory of a multiverse, what does that mean to this view
If each moment is a snapshot of a unique combination of information, and each moment as it passes divides into symmetric and asymmetric values, the symmetric could possibly go sideways or back in time to create a new timeline. Like a boomerang it goes back and then forward again, describing an arc segment of efficiency, a brachistochrone curve. Do that enough, maybe it describes (burns in) a shape or verse. Function follows form?
I'm afraid that everything is alot more complex than we can ever imagine. It is highly unlikely that there is an enormous hologram that has all the bits of information for the entire Universe. The Universe is absolutely extraordinary and I am sure that the more we delve deeper the more complex it will become. So if there is anyone out there that claims he or she knows 99% of everything they are totally oblivious about what we are dealing with here.
Perhaps our knowledge of the universe is like the size a single water molecule within it. Perhaps our knowledge of 'the All' is infinitesimal. However, even if above was true, it does not take away - no, it rather adds to mystery, hopeful purpose, depth, liveliness of the observers' adventure... along the magical path of discovery, where every answer likes to bring in three new questions.
Or..... It really is simple.
@@romzeezthegreat8585 Philosophy and mathematics are infinitely complex. At some point a hypothetical "simple universe model" would be asked to explain how such ('platonic/divine') qualities, worlds, entities... can exist, function, observe, evolve, live... within the proposed universe model and/or within the minds (resp. neural networks) of observers - alternatively have to declare that such entities are not part of the model; thus renouncing most fashionable materialist ambition.
To my knowledge, there are currently few mathematically provable upper bounds to the aquisition of "physical truths". Historically the progress of physical understanding has never halted and it is hard to imagine this progress halting at a definitive resting point, at a certain level of simplicity or complexity.
Perhaps only curiosity and the age-old dream, but not the actual possibility of "getting to the bottom of it", have been given by the countless entities & parameters of the world we find ourselves in.
@@DarkSkay How can we see all states of the CBR? This is one question that mystifies me. Secondly, we assume that we know all states going backwards from CBR to near planck lengths. There was definitely hyperinflation and if we can prove how it happened then we will be closer to a unified theory of gravity. I think we are a long way off from that, ok crew. Goodluck though
string theory says that all the information in black holes was actually hidden in higher dimension on the strings
Great 😊😊
Yes For Sure....
No doubt.........
The cosmos is the ULTIMATE computer
Purely speculative, stitched together with bits n pieces of data - it's like images of dark space captured as images when strobe light was showing and piecing them together to put together as image - backed with some excellent oratory skills
This sounds like Plato's notion of the idealized Forms and the allegory of the cave, where the shadows on the wall (i.e., us and all things) are not really "real" but are just the reflection of the Forms.
this theory makes sense based on our observations of the universe as a whole. For example, we really don't see or comprehend any boundaries for our universe, and we believe it is finite yet expanding. IF we exist inside some kind of computer simulation, wouldn't it be exactly the same? Let's say we are the product of AI software running on a computing device beyond our senses and comprehension. We likely would not be able to perceive any edge to our spatial existence, we would only perceive motion and change, which in this case would be the expansion of the universe. But from the "outside" where the computer exists, perhaps in another dimension we cannot access, our existence is merely the result of a series of software instructions being executed on a super advanced operating system.

We can understand the Cosmos, we are it. The most complex structures that we know of in the universe, the human brain, and by extension, human beings, are defined by our use of language. Whatever the science that governs the information on the boundary of the universe, is the same science that governs our brains, and everything else in the universe. Information/language seems to be a recurring theme. The number of electrons in the valence shells of atoms, as you progress through the periodic table, have an emergent numeric pattern. For example, gold is 2-8-18-32-18-1, mercury is 2-8-18-32-18-2, and two along from that is lead 2-8-18-32-18-4. RNA/DNA is unambiguously an information system that reads itself. Perhaps the universe is literally a language expressing itself. The letters of that language are also the building blocks of the universe...
I've always wondered if the size of the universe literally grows with the size of us seeing it and understanding it. A hundred years ago the universe was only as big as the Milky Way, and there was a debate about those nebulas, and the question if they were objects within the Milky Way, or if they were Milky Way-sized objects only much much further away. Perhaps the Universe only were as big as that, but grew beyond it with our ability to see much further? Perhaps "we" are imagining the universe, and by that are creating it?
I've had similar lines of thought. If I was tasked with designing the universe and it had to do computations, I wouldn't want to waste computational resources computing information that was not needed by anything. I wouldn't want sudden spikes in demand to overload the system and "crash" the universe! So how would I solve this? I'd want to put constraints in place (some laws of physics) the help limit the demand for computation to help prevent sudden spikes in load, things like having a max speed limit for how fast information can travel etc.
If the universes history was predetermined (like a movie playing out) I'd also rig the game. I'd know what was going to happen ahead of time so I could ensure I had sufficient resources scheduled accordingly to perform the required computation. Maybe one day I'll apply for the job
All the elemental particles and all the laws of quantum physics they must abide by kind of puts me in the mind of some kind of basic computer programming.

I like how he pronounces "dots" and "dashes" :-D
What if we contribute to Universe accelerated expansion with the increasing production of information?
Perhaps more civilizations do, as our little info contributions should be very insignificant compared to those kind of scales, like the expansion of the universe
You have to know the subject deeply to explain it to others so easily.
Kind of reminds me of the allegory of the cave
Susskind talks about black holes where the information is stored at the surface area. In optical holography information about a volume is encoded on the surface area also ..which is a 1948 invention by Dennis Gabor who got the nobel prize for it in 1971 (the holographic principle is a idea from begin 1990s). So there tHoofd and Susskind likely got the inspiration from also. The claim is that our universe also works that way. Back in the real world researchers found ''strong evidence'' that a holograpic explanation work well at the very early stages of the universe - a few hundred thousand years after the big bang.

So why does this channel not post full interviews of conversations they didn't conduct?
The cosmos is the output. Consciousness the computer.
So do I have this right? If the expected capacity of a black hole is 13billion terabytes of information, that's what we expect where as the surface is more likely to be 17.5billion terabytes? Or are those numbers back to front, or am I off by billions.
"The universe is a message". A host of languages with access to categorically different meanings. Accessed by evolutionally limited interpreters. Does the interpreter determine the interpretation; or does the interpretation determine the interpreter?
3:05 Now I understand what Sabine Hossenfelder was talking about...
Where is the information in a book? is it on the pages? is it on ink? or is it on the conscious observer that reads and understands it? what is information without something or someone that is reads it...
In this CZcams video, the concept of information and its relationship to the structure of the universe is explored. Black holes, with their infinite density and curvature, are used as a tool to understand what information is in the universe. Information is likened to a message, which can be represented by dots and dashes in Morse code or binary code. The traditional assumption is that the amount of information in the universe is proportional to its volume, but black hole physics challenges this by suggesting that it is proportional to the area of the black hole's horizon. This idea extends to the entire universe, implying that the maximum amount of information it can hold is proportional to the surface area of its boundary. This leads to the concept that everything inside the universe can be seen as a holographic image of what is happening on its boundaries. This idea is not just a metaphor, but a logical conclusion based on the study of black holes and the principles of general relativity and quantum mechanics. It highlights the need for abstract thinking and challenges our conventional understanding of reality.
Key themes:
1. The relationship between black holes and the concept of information in the universe.
2. The idea that the amount of information in the universe is proportional to the surface area of its boundary.
3. The need for abstract thinking to comprehend the counterintuitive nature of the universe.
Suggested follow-up questions:
1. How does the concept of information in the universe challenge our conventional understanding of reality?
2. Can you provide more examples or evidence of how black hole physics supports the idea that information is proportional to the area of the black hole's horizon?
Can someone help me I have a Question :
Leonard has spoken about the possibility of a black holes event horizon storing the information of all the matter that falls into it and that we may exist within such a structure..If this is so it would make sense that we exist bound to the event horizon as everything is numerical and mechanical in our perception of the known universe?..the problem I see is we had to fall into the void in the first instance and that would mean spaghettification had to occur tearing everything asunder and doesn't that mean that everything we know doesn't exist anymore and we are nothing more than the data stored on the EH?..
If this is a possibility then we can never see the real scale of things because time slows on the EH and time beyond that would be running at a different speed so moving towards it would be pointless as we are entangled in the mighty hold of a black hole
Regarding information and the surface area of the black hole . . .
Given the limitations of our ability to see "inside" a black hole, is it really all that surprising that the physics would sort of tell us that the information would be limited to the size of the area of the surface of the black hole? If so, isn't drawing the conclusion that the universe acts as if it is a hologram a little bit of a stretch? Seems like it to me. Aren't you effectively saying that "the limitations of science paint an incomplete picture, but the picture we have looks like a hologram . . . Ergo the universe is a hologram."
It seems to me that you can look at the computer as a construction of atoms that follow a script of instructions that we program on the level of ones and zeros, and also, on a lower level of atoms, forces, etc. But The universe can be thought of as a natural computer that follows its instructions (laws of nature).
As for the BH Hologram containing all the info in the hole, We use models, both math and physical, to follow and learn how things work. The models are not the thing, only a representation of it. Why cant the Holo just be a nice convenient representation of the hole but not be the hole itself?
This is a regular theme in for the existence of humans, looks like we're going to have to get used to, reality is often counterintuitive to our experiences.
The Black Hole analogy: The matter on the horizon of a Black Hole is being drawn into the Black Hole. However, all the matter in our Universe is expanding at an increasing rate away from the origin of the 'SINGULARITY', along with the countless numbers of Black Holes within our Universe. This begs the question, could the Universe, in part, be on the edge of an Horizon of a far greater Black Hole?
How do you explain this in a naturalistic way?
I didn’t realise John Malkovich was a Professor of Theoretical Physics
He’s not, he’s an actor
@@richardc861 And that must make you a troll because I was clearly making an observational joke. Bless you. Hope you are okay.
@@richardc861 Oh yes, John Malkovich IS a professor of physics.
Ok I concede, he looks like John Malkovich. Blessings to all.
The Incredible Hulk called and he wants his pants back.
Loved this discussion clip. 👍
I call B's. We can only speculate... We have no idea what is in a black hole!!!
Of course; everything has information in it.
So black holes turn 3d information into 2d information, making it dissapear from our 3d universe. Just like a 2d being can't percieve our 3d universe. The first and fourth must be absolutely fascinating.
how is a blackhole and all its surface area information (contents) represented on a neighboring black hole? (visa versa?). for that matter how do you explain millions of existing black holes all representing each other?.. is that a loop or just linear? "info neither created nor destroyed" but multiplied more than exponentially is ok?. The boundary of the universe follows the same principle? i understand the literal hologram, and i think i understand the intent behind the analogy in this case.. but how that could actually work with black holes and the boundry escapes me. is that explainable in laymen's terms? could the nature of math itself, as info embedded in the system, produce inaccurate artifact rationales?
The question should be: is the computer inspired by the cosmos?
How was the computer manufactured ? Is there just one computer that never wears out ? Does it never crash ? Does the computer conform to entropy ?
I think the universe is an organisms, what is a body to a cell? Or an atom.
Hello to My Brothers and Sisthers. I have wrote 3 articles About are origine, with puls lazer and an area of 7^7 ,lazer crossing DNA and RNA type of filament going multicolore full, plus with a type of computer connecting trought Lazer passing trought are DNA RNA filament connecting to not univers structure but Cosmos filament. That was not a joke. I always say true. Love you All, Brothers and Sisthers Sincères amitiés 😎
What makes it even more bizarre is that the shape of the observable universe is completely flat.
I would disagree with his model somewhat. I contend that each of the "objects" in the universe that make up everything is addressable (the "computer" knows where it is at all times), just as our personal computers address memory and disk. Therefore, if quarks are the smallest addressable objects, then each quark in the universe has an address.
You have obviously never experienced a hard drive crashing and losing all your data, so I would strongly disagree with you disagreeing
Ever buy a new computer?? those don't know where any of your data is either
and my personal computer and your personal computer also contain different information, so again the POV makes a difference here
