To know reality, one must confront the quantum. It is how our world works at the deepest level. What's the quantum?

    I'd like to point out how impressed I am by the interviewer! R.L. Kuhn; just looked him up. Amazing questions, he seems to have a good grasp of what Deutsch is talking about and especially what he means; he boils things down with smart little remarks. and is a great active listener! Wow. (And then, David Deutsch... of course: what an amazing mind and also communicator he is)
  • @serenity748
    that made a whole lot of sense. david deutsch knows how to explain stuff
  • @Dybbouk
    As DD puts it in one of his books, the stuff in the universe is like words on a page. Except the page doesn't exist. The structure is the words, sentences and paragraphs. Could this explain universality?

    Anyone else here because Tony Stark brought this up in Endgame?!😂🤯

    I could listen to the Deutsch-meister for hours. It's a shame you've elected to split this interview into arbitrary chunks that I have to watch separately and in random order.

    in college applied physics class, i was taught that quantum mechanic is a study of quanta. that's all i remember...
  • The Universe could be mathematical because it is based on a geodynamic three dimensional process that is relative to each object or life form or relative to the atoms at low temperatures. At higher temperatures the process is relative to plasma with charge being able to cover a large area of interstellar space. Therefore we have the same process unfolding at the large scale of cellular space and at the small scale with cellular life. This can be seen with charge being relative to the membrane of each living cell!

    @5:20 I've never been able to verify this Feynman quote
  • Come back here from Avengers: Endgame to explore more about Quantum

    The virtual photon can be argued to be the carrier of physics laws for our universe . It's all about where to put energy*. Anything that can contain energy must be configured with physics constants, like h, c, so that it's energy can be expressed. The photon can emit from a point and travel outward at the speed of light. Because c is built into the laws of physics, it makes sense to assume that the laws of physics are implemented by photons (virtual ).
