You have to love Nima's subtle and sometimes not so subtle humor (perhaps at the expense of a certain philosophical school and its descendants). ;-)

Thank you very much for this opportunity. The panel was really interesting and helpful and was handled perfectly by everyone. I understood that science, in its search for facts and truth, as it is today, is not enough for itself or for us and probably never will be. In this way, I could also understand that scientists and science are very different things. We are our real challenge because the answers are probably waiting for us. In this sense, good science demands progressively healthier societies. Thanks again.

Nima tells it like it is. Thank you!

Nima's work is very interesting. During a 2020 lecture, he very briefly revealed a diagram, showing what the relationships within his recent work looked like in Kinematic Spacetime. I found that diagram profoundly shocking, indeed I felt quite depressed for about six months. I'm no longer convinced our experiences are emerging out of the smallest things we know of up to the cosmological scale. It almost seems like they may be emerging out of structure at the biological scale... which in hindsight might make some sense, as it is apparently us, who are having this experience. There appears to be something profound yet to be discovered about where our experience of scale emerges from.

Great conversation

Yes we need more physicists.

Nima trying to get his head around the drivel the sociologist was speaking was the highlight of this talk for me.

The guys pretty good in German. In English... not so much.

Dr. Paul Pietsch, in his book *Shufflebrain* on the memory of salamanders, came to the conclusion that memory was NOT contained in the brain, but retained hologrammically in “transform space.” Fourier transforms, in his view, were the process through which the brain converts experiences into memories, and then recalled from the same medium. You have talked about holography having a central role in the physics of the cosmos. Do you have any ideas about the role of memory (e.g., Rupert Sheldrake and morphic resonance) in physics?

Seems like a load of bollocks to me.

What Armin argued about the unity and the ambiguity, makes me wonder do we have a clear understanding of reality, in terms of space-time and consciousness? Without that judgements of the situations can only be local (in space-time terms) and subject to change that we all should live with and accept.

Around 35:00 : very well put Nima.

Professor Nasssehi is so brilliant. Thankyou

The universe that is expanding may fizzle out at some point which could be labeled as "finite" but then it keeps on going maybe for a while without planets and matter but it keeps on going and that is the infinite beauty of Infinity.

Interesting philosophical debate between persons who may- or may not know the answer to the opening question.

I really thanks a lor

Like Beethoven's 5th, this talk would go no other way 👍create thought tapestry

Dr. Donald Hoffman in his ideas of consciousness and conscious agents, reminds me of Armin saying that we cannot observe the relationships but can experience what people do and based on that make a model of the “society” of people in that room.

That's true. Society can only be measured indirectly. In this case I can really recommend the work of Niklas Luhmann. It's the first imo real approach to a theory of society. Theory of society meaning what characterizes society as a whole, as a system. That's why systems theory fits so well here.

What has caused no shepherd in the new age to dare to claim to be a prophet is the existence of such free-thinking and brave people.

54:20 Nima's impressively clued up on the historical development of theoretical physics where he correctly points out the periods of revolution and conservatism. Physicists like Freeman Dyson, Schwinger, Feynman etc showed that quantum field theory was fundamentally correct, taking a more conservative approach compared to revolutionaries like Bohr who were looking to abandon well established ideas. I vaguely recall that the Russian physicist Landau believed that field theory was in a mess and should be abandoned.

Both are Persian 🇮🇷 💪

Individualistic contrasted with collectivist social structures arguably constructs different sorts of rational persons who paradoxically do the same physics, or maybe not.

A good question could be: why we should spend 50 billion euros for the next large hydron collider and any European state doesn't want giving hospitality to imigrants?

Just wondering. Don't we already have an extra dimension where the quantum fields live? Virtual particles that pop up in our 3 dimension they then come from this extra dimension . This would have many consequences among others the vacuum energy would get a new perspective.

You shoukd invest in the sound and image quality of your videos. 😌

Ok, life is good

I think I share Nima’s vision of the Truth and the doors it opens to us in consciousness. Great ideas!

I was trying to give him an honest shot but I felt the same way. I don't think it makes sense to have a conversation between two people when one of them (the sociologist) doesn't understand Nima's talk well enough to even ask relevant questions about it. It's a shame because Nima's lecture was so good, and this was a real lost opportunity to get someone more interesting to get him talking off the cuff and going into more detail about what he's working on rather than being forced to talk about sociology.

Are we supposed to get lower taxes because spacetime is doomed?? Will public transit be more or less supported because spacetime isn't fundamental??? Is racism and political correctness going to cancel each other out now that spacetime is merely emergent?????

You're absolutely right -- furthermore, it was just general "high-level" sophistry on science and society...nothing that any other scientist couldn't have also participated in -- literally nothing of Arkhani-Hamed (sp?) was necessary to this discussion. Mildly interesting was the brief broaching on the pandemic but even there it wasn't anything specific to Hamed's expertise, just broad overarching bromides for the most part, really no insight.

And I am asking "Why?", feel free to pass this question in the case the answer emerges from the answer to the first question. Thank you!

Today's truth is tomorrow's false. Always.

It's my dream to one day bring together some principles of QM and of social science. Like the principle of entropy, entanglement, tunneling and gravity itself. I can't help it but, to me at least, they have a sexual resonance. And I'm not even a physicist. What causes entropy in society? What happens after beside the falling apart of the whole? How does information and communication work in the forming of and/or changing of a personal and collective beliefsystem? What part does the dissonant play in holding the whole together? I have a friend who's a physicist and we often argue about things that have to do with regidity. Society is such a complex system that regidity has no place there. The only inevetabillity is that of entropy, nothing else. A phenomena that can be good or bad. Like the climate change which forces us to rethink our way of living. Regidity as a multi interpretable event..
