This is nothing new. He’s just rehashing the Everettian interpretation of QM and like he does so often fails to credit precursors for their ideas and acts like he thought this up himself.
Yes, you got it! All conceivable realities actually exist and are real for “those” in that frame of reference. So we are part of “all those realities” (we are actually projecting them), and we simply collapse one of the infinite realities into our experience and call it “come to pass”. This is the essence of the Observer Effect. That’s all that QM really describes. 👍🏼
A physicist "understanding" a mathematical model is the same thing as a Geocentric Epicyclist "understanding" why planets go retrograde. To have an "understanding" of phenomena viewed through a wrong paradigm is not exactly a good thing.
I browsed Wolframs book where he, a long time ago, tried to do something we claimed were phys8cs. I also browsed a book Hubbard, the father of Scientology wrote on his stuff. They were pretty much of the same quality! It isn't just AI:s which can hallucinate! We all do that while dreaming, but only a few of us can write like that while awake. They were awake, weren't they?
He said, "I really understand quantum mechanics"! He is in a superposition state of genius and stupid :D Let Einstein enter the system and collapse the wave function. "Nowadays, every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinks he knows it, but he is mistaken."
Wolf's a smart guy and all due respect to him, but no he doesn't understand QM. How could he even address the "knowing" subject without mentioning/addressing Bell's theorem? Knowing in a broad sense means replacing the statistical mechanics with classical mechanics. A much more fruitful path to understanding comes from following De Broglie's ideas about wave mechanics and physical interpretation of such. Google (and youtube) around on "walking drops" for some insightful experiments in that regard. Yet Bell looms large over all these considerations... it's hard to get around the guy (grin). He really earned that Nobel.
And still the old Feynman saying stands "if you think you understand quantum mechanics then you don't understand quantum mechanics". That was 4 minutes of nonsense
If he didnt have a PhD from caltech at the age of 19 , people would be thinking hes a crackpot for sure , those credentials are guarding his ridiculous claims..
Well it turns out: He does not know more than any other individual on the planet. He just uses different words and cites Everettian hypotheses which are still considererd strange - compatible with assumptions, calculations, possible but not really something that can be understood (rather than accepted as being not refuted). What is this bragging all about? I don’t get it.
MWI is linear algebra on crack. It is totally reprehensible as a scientific theory, the very antithesis of science. It says we don't have to explain anything because everything happens. Easy, out. No this just what I would expect from a mathematician. The key to QM lays in truly understanding entanglement and Lee Smolin has the correct explanation for time.
This is nonsense. It's got nothing to do with minds or brains. (Although I for one believe minds are important aspects of reality, but for totally different reasons). Quantum mechanics can be understood if you admit closed timelike curves into general relativity. When you do, GR is _already a quantum theory._ There is no need for branching, and no "wavefunction of the universe" except for purposes of description when you lack the ability to compute the effects of CTCs (which we do, so we do in fact need the tricks, and QFT is one such good trick.) By the way, the latter is what Feynman understood, although he did not understand GR could admit CTCs. We'd only get paradoxes if CTCs permit macroscopic objects traversals, but they do not. Only a "qubit" can traverse a Planck scale CTC (aka. ER=EPR wormhole traversal).
Actually It makes sense that Universes' informations error-feedbacking through branching and merging spacetime into this particular event You are experiencing. In this way conciousness is decentralized but works under the same workspace that connects everyones' wishes. Everyones' wishes come true causing conflicts between particular nodes as well any other outcome like peace or love. Real is subjective, because conciousness developed I, after that It got so absorbed into creating It forgot experiencing Universe itself in simplest form through nature and looking up into the sky. I love Wolframs' ideas, because He sees conciousness as messurement system built on many sub-systems and their population working together in diverse forms. On fundamental level, It's all particles, that's why I mentioned workspace of conciousness idea. What's basic messurement? Change of state to change of spacetime position. Energies interact between each other changing direction, increasing energy and complexity or nulifying and transforming, That idea of hypergraphs perfectly shows how systems' complexity raises and how systems of different kinds interact between each other in loops causing some effects. Error-feedback and raise of computation power. If system learns informations faster and succesfuly apply it in environment, It has better survival rate, developing homeostasis.
In a nutshell, he meant they still don’t understand quantum mechanics.
This is nothing new. He’s just rehashing the Everettian interpretation of QM and like he does so often fails to credit precursors for their ideas and acts like he thought this up himself.
I don't really understand Wolfram's interpretation of QM, but it is different than Everettian, because Everettian only has branching, not merging.
Well, that makes two of us.
And as of this morning, three of us.
lol

It has been shown. that in certain circumstances there is a high probability, that is when things line up, it happens. Inconclusively!
He seems to be describing universe as a giant git repository..

There is no merging in the quantum many-worlds. The only way to turn two branches into one is when they are identical.
And still the old Feynman saying stands "if you think you understand quantum mechanics then you don't understand quantum mechanics".
That was 4 minutes of nonsense
So if you go ask your professor and they don't have anything sensible to say, can you say that you were probably barking up the wrong tree branch?
"Branching timeliness and "branching brains". Weird claims based on absolutely zero evidence. wtf is he talking about? Lol
I wondered that too, but if he was describing continuous space etc. deterministic universe, there was not much there.
Let's see WHAT you have to say, bud.
@@aman-qr7wh it's pretty clear what I'm saying. The statements made in the video have zero evidence, zero meaning and zero context. Dumass.
If he didnt have a PhD from caltech at the age of 19 , people would be thinking hes a crackpot for sure , those credentials are guarding his ridiculous claims..
you're trying to start at chapter 10.
Why do 8 billion individual brains, minds, follow the same single winding path thru his branching time Universe??
Ask your mom that question
They're MOSTLY the same
They don't, and they don't have to for you to experience the universe as you see it.
what is going on with the circular area on the board right behind the back of his head? xD wth is this wobblyness when his head comes close? xD
No
so we're dealing with histories we don't know about but we are a part of ? Sexy, exotic

I agree with Wolfram that the Many Worlds implementation of QM is the most sensible one.
MWI is linear algebra on crack. It is totally reprehensible as a scientific theory, the very antithesis of science. It says we don't have to explain anything because everything happens. Easy, out. No this just what I would expect from a mathematician. The key to QM lays in truly understanding entanglement and Lee Smolin has the correct explanation for time.

What? Say something and say nothing at the same time!
I lost 4 minutes of my life!
