#Cosmology #BigBang #Koans Physicist Anthony Aguirre studies the formation, nature, and evolution of the universe, focusing primarily on the model of eternal inflation—the idea that inflation goes on forever in some regions of universe—and what it may mean for the ultimate beginning of the universe and time. He is the co-founder and associate scientific director of the Foundational Questions Institute, which supports research on questions at the foundations and new frontiers of physics and cosmology. Anthony is also a co-founder of the Future of Life Institute, an organization aiming to increase the probability that life has a future, and of Metaculus, an effort to optimally aggregate predictions about scientific discoveries, technological breakthroughs, and other interesting issue. In his book, Cosmological Koans: A Journey to the Heart of Physical Reality, physicist Anthony Aguirre explores deep questions about the nature of reality, using an approach inspired by Zen koans to take the reader on a thought-provoking tour of the cosmos and the core ideas of modern physics. In Zen Buddhism, koans are short parables or questions meant to confront the practitioner with the inadequacy of conventional concepts and habits of thought. Similarly, Aguirre's "cosmological koans" confront the reader with the unexpected nature of the world as described by physics and the mind-boggling ways in which it differs from our subjective experience or intuitive understanding of things. "I wanted to convey that sense of mystery and wonder that comes from seeing reality in a new way," said Aguirre, a professor of physics and holder of the Faggin Family Presidential Chair for the Physics of Information at UC Santa Cruz. The book covers a wide range of topics, woven together with a fictional storyline that recounts a journey from Italy to Japan. Multiple universes, the nature of time, the meaning of quantum theory, and entropy and information are among the subjects explored in short chapters that manage to convey mind-bending ideas in a way that is accessible and entertaining. @AnthonyNAguirre http://fqxi.org/ http://www.futureoflife.org/ https://www.amazon.com/Cosmological-Koans-Journey-Physical-Reality/dp/0393609219 00:00:00 Intro 00:06:22 Why did you right Cosmological Koans? 00:11:48 How do you reconcile the mysteries unanswered by physics? 00:17:08 Are you a Buddhist?

#NoamChomsky #Neuralink #ElonMusk Noam is one of the the most cited scholars in history and it is impossible to ignore his opinions. You may differ with many of them, as I do. But you cannot simply ignore him. Therefore, I was fascinated by Noam’s ideas on the Turing test and its connection to, and implications for, Musk’s Neuralink. It was in-depth, despite his overarching consonance with Turing's view: “The question whether machines can think is too meaningless to deserve discussion" to which Noam adds "It’s kind of like asking whether submarines can swim." Noam’s thoughts on Elon Musk’s Neuralink project aren’t a secret (https://www.inverse.com/article/32395-elon-musk-neuralink-noam-chomsky) but he goes into a more nuanced account of neural nets and the pursuit of cognition in our discussion. Our conversation spans centuries of thought about #ArtificialIntelligence, ranging from Descartes to Turing, to Marvin Minsky ending up with his pessimism on Elon Musk's Neuralink project.
