I don't think that just because math can be uncannily beautiful in it's proven descriptions of some parts of reality, that the mathematicians can then just say that it's reality itself that has given up the math to us and therefore math has this sort of divinity that can then lead us solely on it's own to all definitions of reality. We need experiments, data, and testable proofs. Sabine of course, goes a lot further on that, on how grifting has got us here.

"The only stupid question is the question you do not ask", I am not so sure. The fact that Sabine can produce coherent answers from a so called non-realist, Philosofer's questions speaks volumes to the nature of Sabine.

If the universe wants to show us a situation where 1 + 1 = 3, then we can't say that's impossible. Certainly we should be extremely critical of things that don't match the maths, but that doesn't mean it can't be true. And on the flip side, just because maths predict something about the universe, that doesn't mean the universe must obey. Our maths can be wrong. Our understanding can be flawed. The universe does not need to bend to our will just because it works out so beautifully in a math equation. Basically, it's important to remember that math is a analog for the universe. No analog is perfect, so remember that before you get too wound up trying to force things that don't work.

please, stop fawning and stop putting yourself down

An excellent interview, thank you both. I really enjoyed it. I can very much understand Sabine's approach, it's basically "Sticking with the principles of science, if there's something we don't know for sure, we should keep the question open instead of just giving a quick answer of for example, multi verse, that would instead; close the question!".. It's a very elegent defence of the scientific method. Personally, this is my method of, inputting accurate data into my world views, I expect from scientific theories to be at least scientific and not merly philosophical predictions.. or else it'll turn into something like politics and religions. I was always blamed of one thing though for having this stand, and I hoped to hear it from Sabine, that is: "What remains then? If you hate politics, don't believe in psychology, or social sciences (Which I don't really consider it science in the first place), how else would you understand the world?", It's a very fair question, I have to confess, because in my views, human phychology for example, is almost impossible to understand scientifically (in my strict definitions of science), while many the experiments done in psychology come up with huge headlines and leaps even than the 'multi verse' in physics, with very narrow and circumstancial experiments and should for example be a statistical data instead. Two points for the above: * First, is that keeping psychology ascientific (thank you Sabine), will pressure us to identify that this field is really important, and we should actually work on, scientifically find proper methods tackle it, instead of giving false headlines and fake ourselves that we understand much about ourselves. (it is one of the most important fields to really tackle), * Second, is that, unfortunatly, this has kept me skeptic, and unwilling to proceed in learning many of the good ideas coming from these ascientific fields, with adapting these views, I'm left with very narrow-scientific findings as products of natural sciences (plus computer stuff, my area of expertise :D), and per my friends, closing my eyes on other important fields.

This is my favorite Sabine interview!

I believe that all great scientists experience humility in the face of nature even if they don't articulate it as such. Einstein, for sure, was such a role model on all of this.

She makes suggestions to test hidden variables since one decade or so. Nothing happened.

I feel the issue is that the difference between Maths and physics is that Physics is an application of Math, but Math is NOT physics... Hence Mathematical speculations are abstract logical theory which may or may not relate to observable events whereas Physics is observation and explanation of those 'events' - one can fit many mathematical formulae / solution to an event described by a set of data however the event described by the data is a singular event so all the varied mathematical possibilities would likely get more and more constrained with better data till ideally there is only one mathematical solution. Hence math is not reality but can become our best description of reality An example is Newtons gravity which varies with 1/R^2... If R=0 then there is a mathematical singularity... but we accept that because most observations show that mass is not a point mass, it has volume, so below a certain radius eg Earths surface... the formula fails/requires more sophisticated interpretation because the mass is no longer 100% below that R value so gravity in fact reduces from the earths surface to Zero at the centre NOT infinity as the simplistic interpretation of Newtons formula would give... Perhaps Einstein's gravity has some similar limiting case where extension of the simplistic interpretation again 'assuming a point mass' is no longer valid hence again singularities though simplistic mathematical extension into the unknown are 'not real' and there is some other physical concept required that prevents the mathematical singularity - ie. the physical reality will not be a simple extension of the math into an area we have no data.... And hence GR perhaps does NOT fail it just has ranges of applicability (like with Newton) after which there have to be modifications due to currently unknown physics in GR's case (as in Newtons case where a new physical regime takes over - gravity 'inside' the mass). An aside is that one should not forget that GR describes what we see as an observer NOT what is as the object being observed... eg if a particle accelerates continuously at 1g towards alpha centauri it would arrive there "before" a light beam would... yet we have never exceeded the speed of light to the observer at take off. So we could theoretically get to alpha centauri faster than light... The particle would find it arrives there after only months... yet never "BE OBSERVED" going faster than light... The paradox of light speed or time would not apply to either the observer nor the particle. So the problem is NOT that Einstein's GR is wrong - it's that we have no data - and so we only have a myriad of mathematical extensions which, though 'logical', lead to apparently crazy speculations - they explain nothing physically/in reality, until we have more data ;) I personally might suspect the black hole is just a region of pure energy supporting the event horizon, with no singularity and with Gravity dropping to Zero in the centre - but I have no data.

Finally a scientist that understands the role of science... well, mostly. Better than most.

Kant put this idea to rest a long time ago. He called it an antinomy (sp); it was in his discussion of "first cause". The idea is one is asking a question using set different from the set one is asking the question about. He was saying that one cannot answer a question about first cause, as it is outside of time and space, with the tools of causality which exits in time and space, it simply makes no sense. To put it simply, you can't get there from here. Good for Sabine for holding the line against gobbledygook.

Why is "I don't know" such a difficult thing to say, even for philosophers? Sabine is really taking the words out of my mouth. "I don't know" "I don't know if we'll ever be able to know", so some questions will be forever unanswered; or will they.

she's had an ok career but she's clearly not done yet, so eager to see where sabine ends up, love her no nonsense personality

I love Sabine. She is down to earth and patient. I find Hilary rather frustrating in the way he tries to put far fetched ideas of his own in to her mouth. You can tell he has read a lot of books but his style is not really that of being investigative it is rather to show of he has read a lot of books. Thomas Kuhn's(The Structure of Scientific Revolutions) perspectives written in the 1960's very much outlines the way Sabine is thinking, and if Hilary had read it and understood it this interview would have been so much better.

If I got Sabine’s take on philosophy right (hopefully…), she’s in line with an ever increasing number of scientists across most fields - according to their own accounts. Philosophy in general used to be the origin of “thinking” (severe simplification…) before the modern reduction towards all the (very useful) separate sciences. I do think any scientific specialties need some form of ‘dialectic’ back and forth between holistic philosophy and the specifics of actual science. Inspiration, intuition, time or creativity have their values as counterweights to pure empirical findings. Not for the “answers” themselves, but maybe for context and presence…?

@musiqtee If I can add my 20 cents worth. Many people in physics scoff at philosophy and metaphysics as if it were some form of voodoo witchcraft. But here is the problem, all that we call physics and math is a man made concept that oozes out of our subjective minds. These are concepts that we impose upon the objective universe in an effort to describe the indescribable in a neat human ordered way. The Universe has no concept of human labels, names, physics, algebra, math, seconds, meters etc and neither does the universe care what we think of it. Philosophers are best seen as translators between the high abstractions of human thought and the objective universe. They are also valuable translators of raw thought (high level mental abstractions) that we struggle to describe to anyone outside of our own mind.

“Physicists haven’t payed enough attention to philosophy, and now they are stuck”. More or less quoting Sabine, around 3 minutes into this video. My questions: which parts of philosophy are meant, which fundamental thoughts? Like, do Kant or Schopenhauer come close? And in which way would that philosophy, those thoughts have prevented those physicists from getting stuck? Maybe an idea: could Sabine spend a video on her channel on this topic? It really would be insightful and interesting, hopefully within a ten minute time frame.

the philosophical is the output of the information we get from the world, mathematical figure out the information, work to improve and decipher. Believes are the conclusions, algorithms we have, that makes a pattern in our behavior, when we think (philosophically), and thoughts shapes the reality. philosophy -> mathematical thinking -> believes patterns and behavior -> philosophy... beyond that, the thought content is in the void. Void which is the space. As much awareness (attention) we have without distractions in the present, the consciousness rise up and you start to sense other dimensions. We have to see the world (objective) and the inner space awareness (subjective) as a one whole like a neuronal system that interact each other sharing information in both directions objective and subjective at the same time. That shapes the perceptions of reality.

Sabine is a star.

"Physics at the limits of reality"... Plural... so many limits... What a bombastic catch! Physics is at the limit of its models. As if there is some Physics beyond reality. Why not being simple? We need a fresh model(s). It happens all the time. This is the bread and butter of the Physicists: new models.

Wellsaid,Sabina and i agree with you. Not because you're a cute little scientist, well maybe a bit. But i am agreeing with you because you are correct.

Great interview the questions intrigued me more than the answers

11:05 -- SHE'S RIGHT. I'm sick of the whole "unreasonable effectiveness" argument in favor of math somehow being the blueprint for reality. I can imagine the ancient Greeks arguing in favor of epicycles by using the same argument -- but its math is so unreasonably effective that it must be true, which is exactly what today's physicists say about their latest crop of super-symmetric stringy whatnots. Math is just as unreasonably effective at describing bunk as useful stuff!

I summarised the problems with the mathematics underpinning the Big Bang in ‘Refuting Relativity’.

Dr Hosdenfelder always has something to say which allows me to consider a different possibility for integration into my personal world view.

18:50 The asymmetry of time actually implies the accumulation of time, more precisely, history, variety. Instead of the Copenhagen and/or multi-world interpretations of quantum mechanics, the presence of spontaneous Lorentz transformations seems to be more physical. The observer can choose the observable Universe as his own frame of reference, and then the redshift of spectral lines in the global/own frame of reference is characterized by the value: z= [w-w(0)]/w(0)=Hl/c, where l is the characteristic size of the frame of reference, and in this case l=l(universe). Then, for the reference frame, where for the light signal ds^2=0, the invariance of the speed of light c=cdl/dx(0) follows with respect to spontaneous Lorentz transformations. That is, the world itself already has many-sided (~ "multi-world") and improvisational (~"probabilistic") properties. P.S. The inscription on the ancient Roman clock: “More than you think”.

That is, an observer can measure the increase in the duration of processes in the laboratory frame of reference: dт=[√ g(00)]dt=[√(1-Ht*)]dt~(1-Ht*)dt

So... Since all our measuring apparatus is based on electromagnetic interactions, all particles except the electron have in fact never been observed... only inferred. Do they fall outside of science as well?

The CTMU shows the true relationship between science and philosophy.

6:02 Sabine did say the multiverse is religion, verbatim, she has a video specifically about that. Even if the specific comment was not so much about the multiverse I'd expect her to lump together with the other theories she calls religion here because that's exactly what she said about the multiverse, unless she has since changed her mind.

Must admit like with many theories the Multiverse thing it is just like show me the evidence that constitutes proof if you want me treat in some tangibly meaningful way so it is up for critique and discussion. I don't think it's an excuse to try and dunk on the competition so to speak but it viability of the premises should be debated on it purely theoretical grounds. I do like the focus on needless assumptions and the schools of thought that is being spoken to when highlighting this very good. Sometime to progress we must reorient ourselves so that we are facing in the right direction again; this commentary does touch on that a bit in a indirect way. Can say the same for dark matter mind something that's a bit of pink elephant but still.

It's hard to say where our ability to represent reality will hit hard limits. Yes, LIKELY we'll never get it exactly, but we keep edging closer than we thought we could. And if the universe is fully quantized, is that discrepancy a sure thing, or is it possible the "mismatch" is less than a basic quantum of reality?

One thing should be evident: There is an objective reality but we will never be able to have a full knowledge about everything. We can only get closer and closer to it.

For a second I thought I clicked on 'Between Two Ferns' (Zack Galaf...etc) Lol.

Groundbreaking work is being done at the intersection of physics and philosophy. Check out Bernardo Kastrup and Donald Hoffman!

Dear god, no! Kastrup is neither a physicist nor a real philosopher. What he practices is pseudoscience. Don´t know much about Hoffman though..

The multiverse hypothesis was an attempt by some physicists to explain the mystery of quantum entanglement. We need to look more into the concept that space doesn’t have a beginning, rather time has a beginning inside space. I explained this (entanglement/universe) better on my channel and book.

Trying to decipher intelligence and not recognizing that intelligence as being intelligent is a crime . Go Sabine ! :O)

Sabine H?? HERE FOR THE SPICY SCIENCE

Why science works? you observe, generate a model, test your model and if the experiment is succesful it's a valid model with certain criteria. Of course later some observation compromises the model but that's to be expected, it's a model, not the real thing, whe're always generating more accurate and compatible models but they are still abstractions of reality, i don't understand the question, why woldn't it work?

If we take the analogy that is said to come from Isaac Newton: What we know is a drop, what we not know is an ocean, would you say that has changed considerably or even turned? If not why are you so sure that we never find a method to detect other universes or look at what happened before the big bang? I think if you had asked Newton to construct a handheld device to share moving images about cats and science around the world instantly he would have said that's currently totally off limits but maybe far out in the ocean.
