Is there just one type of consciousness—the one only we humans seem to be blessed with? Or does consciousness come in different shapes and forms? Do other species also experience consciousness or something similar to consciousness? I’ve had the pleasure of discussing this with the philosopher and computer engineer Bernardo Kastrup. Enjoy! If you liked this clip, check out our full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q4IKUH0qnk Kastrup is the executive director of Essentia Foundation. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the ‘Casimir Effect’ of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). Formulated in detail in many academic papers and books, his ideas have been featured in Scientific American, the Institute of Art and Ideas, the Blog of the American Philosophical Association, and Big Think, among others. Bernardo’s most recent book is The Idea of the World: A multi-disciplinary argument for the mental nature of reality.

#science #Oppenheimer #ChristopherNolan #film Do you want to know how an atomic bomb works? Today, I present a deep dive into the deadly physics behind Oppenheimer an epic film about the life and science of America’s Prometheus, the man who built the atomic bomb. I'll fill in the gaps, explain complex physics with simple animations, and take you on a tour of the quantum realm as we explore "Oppenheimer," Christopher Nolan's magnum opus! Nolan masterfully crafts a deeply moving and haunting character study of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the man behind the Manhattan Project with a focus on Oppenheimer himself, and the bomb. This proves to be brilliant as it explores the extreme challenges and aftermath of his actions, revealing the guilt and weight he carries for the thousands of lives lost in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Cillian Murphy's portrayal of Oppenheimer is nothing short of exceptional, conveying a broken man filled with conviction and regret for his monumental yet devastating achievements. Nolan's commitment to practical effects shines through, delivering a monumental achievement without a single shot of CGI. The film becomes a thrilling and intense experience throughout its 3-hour runtime. The stellar ensemble cast, including Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, brings depth and brilliance to the narrative, making each moment on screen captivating and meaningful. Despite its lengthy runtime, "Oppenheimer" flows seamlessly, with engaging dialogue and characters keeping the audience hooked. Nolan's artistic choices, like the use of color and black-and-white scenes, further paint Oppenheimer as a deeply complex character, haunted by his past demons yet aware of the far-reaching consequences of his revolutionary work. In "Oppenheimer," Nolan once again proves his mastery as a filmmaker, delivering a mature and profound biopic that honors one of the most significant figures in history. This film stands as a testament to Nolan's importance in the world of cinema, leaving audiences eagerly anticipating the chance to revisit this cinematic masterpiece.
