Sadia, in her four episodes on unsolved problems in physics (first episode here), was clearly heavily inspired by the work of Julian Barbour. So we…

In this episode, Sadia Naeem proposes solutions to the previously discussed problems and Bruce offers some gentle criticisms.
In this episode, Sadia Naeem continues the discussion about unsolved problems in physics. This time we talk about (among many other things) symmetry and novelty.
Sadia Naeem joins us again, this time to discuss Clocks, Blocks, and Eternalism.

I wrote a post back on May 27 called “Can We Have Final Theories?” This post is to put together my revised thoughts based on…
This is a historical post. I wrote years ago while I was comparing Roger Penrose’s theories to Deutsch’s. Roger Penrose has an interesting categorization system…
“Quantum fluctuation messes with the Planck scale, which then triggers the Deutsch Proposition. Can we agree on that?” asks Tony Stark. What the heck is…
I’ve seen Four Stranders claim that the idea that you can have a level of computational universality above a level of computational universality is a…
