    Awesomeness. Thanks so much again! Just started though: I think the title assumes the universe to be (like) a computer; and further in operators as physically existing? "The boundary" is a misty term when applied to cosmology The erasure correction and perfect tensor argument seems a tautology I like the geometry and tesselations, it seems a rich theory and much more to it. 27:00 interesting to see the golden ratio coming up

    Can it have a finite volume, but infinite ♾️ area ?

    What if a cubite breaks free and shows up in a parallel universe?

    This is amazing, although I only understand about 5-10% of the lecture, the implications are huge. It provides a meaningful connection between quantum gravity and the holographic principle, in which theorists can explore more fully. Also, if everything is just qbits of information, we can begin to understand how the system was designed and possibly theorize on why the universe seemingly digital with plank constraints.

    I suspect, that resolution of this puzzle again requires finding a broader basic principle around which a new theory can be formulated. Maybe new observational data can provide some hint later on. Otherwise it seems like way too much of pure mathematics.

    So is he saying that spacetime is an emergent property of the error-correction at a quantum level?

    This reminds me of how we use computers to verify information for financial transactions, i.e. : ATM's for example, and how they talk/task their actions with the main server(s) in order to make sure you have enough cash to withdraw and making sure that amount is correctly removed from said account.

    Yes, i think so. Spacetime is a SINGLE error corrected QBIT :-D

    Spacetime is "error correcting code" if you believe either the analog-timing code or the physics of space and materials is a self-correcting mechanism that uses errors as opportunity for change toward closed comprehensive integration, rather than the natural occurrence of quantized probability in open dispersal. Ie Thermodynamics is psudo-randomness of fine scales to the limit of .dt in one closed system of the Quantum Fields Mechanism. Time is prime, because it's one connected existence, ..defining the states of relative time shapes in wave interactions, ..probability bubbles of relative timing in the foam-form of physical-constant reality, ..a leaky p-brane of quantum fluctuations in dynamic synchronous continuity. So, yes, sort of..., it's a balanced multi-oscillator? It's streching the analogy, but Evolution is a type of error correction in the holistic context of Quantum Fields Modulation Mechanism Information sustainability pulses.

    I didn't understand most of what you or preskill have said here but based on what I know about physics it is clear that preskill is saying the universe is a quantum computer/computation/data. I find the mention of error correction in this context interesting because it implies there can be errors in the data. That then brings to mind the mandela effect. I mean it seems to lend validity to claims of the mandela effect. Some do appear to be real. See the examples in the "mandela effect" playlist on my channel. One might expect errors to be corrected if there is an error correction function but error correction is not necessarily fail-proof. Take for example audio CD's which get scratched. The audio quality may suffer despite the error correction features.

    The page "Physics of the COSMOS (Book Series)" has given the following writing the thumbs up on its page. FULLY UNDERSTANDING E=MC2 AND F=MA: E=mc2 is DIRECTLY AND FUNDAMENTALLY DERIVED FROM F=ma. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. This is PROVEN by BOTH F=ma AND E=mc2. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. GRAVITATIONAL FORCE/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. It ALL makes perfect sense. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Time dilation ALSO proves that GRAVITY IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY. THINK about it. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS CLEARLY GRAVITY. ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent WITH/AS what is BALANCED ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL FORCE/ENERGY, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. E=mc2 is DIRECTLY AND FUNDAMENTALLY DERIVED FROM F=ma. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Indeed, A PHOTON may be placed at the center of THE SUN (as A POINT, of course); as the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the SPEED OF LIGHT; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. PERFECT. It is proven. F=ma AND E=mc2 PROVE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Great. Very importantly, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is FULLY INVISIBLE AND black.
