When I read, "...at the heart of constructor theory is the concept of counterfactuals - statements about what's possible and what's impossible..." I immediately thought of the 1st law of thermodynamics and the statement, "a perpetual motion machine of the first kind is impossible." I've always found those two statements, the impossibility of a perpetual motion device of the 1st kind and the 2nd kind, very fundamental, prohibitive and enabling. It was at that moment that I fell in love with thermodynamics.

It's like taking a step back and looking at everything in a different way that doesn't challenge any previous theories and allow for newer understandings.

As long as these theories are working to provide applications in the real world independently, they can be applied and would be used. I think you mean, *Quantum Physics and General Relativity there, because she was talking about the Unification of the theories that explain the Microscopic world and the macroscopic world. These theories together give rise to the proposed, 'Grand Unified Theory' which combines and explains all the Fundamental Physical forces together. Usually, we didn't have had the need to combine both laws but along the lines, Quantum Computers would need this unification. Btw, General Relativity and Newton's Gravitation laws work on entirely different principles, but they still provide the same result to any of the calculations. The only thing that changed was how those equations translate but they still provide the same result. We blow rockets into the space and to the moon using Newton's calculations to this day since they are mathematically easier unlike Newton's and provide the same approximate result. Most scientists don't like dealing with General Relativity Principles when applying gravitation laws to the physical world.

My insight & question: when looking for such a perfect answer, I'm assuming that gravity plays a big part. Gravity and mass can alter the concentration and interrelationships of matter. So my question is: how does constructor theory include gravity when trying to arrive at the perfect understanding of all matter? Surely, the force of gravity (in space, on a planet, inside a sun) will vary so much at point to point that it must be a tidal wave on the theories that are being contemplated here.

If "current theories of physics based on quantum mechanics do not adequately explain why some transformations between states of being are possible and some are not" then this theory doesn't solve that at all. "A task is only possible if a constructor capable of carrying it out exists, otherwise it is impossible.' We would require knowing all possible constructors to prove this theory true, and that is.... improbable. It should be called possibility theory, but that is essentially quantum mechanics. They just added a layer on top which says we believe this is impossible, and believing and knowing are two separate things.

To me it sounds more like ideas to incorporate into the programming of an "expert system" to help researchers eliminate dead ends in scientific inquiries faster. Nothing about it sounds like an alternative theory to the "theory of everything" or the "grand unified theory".

Nice topic. Didn't know about it. Great video.

Glossy, vacuous, multimedia marketing without a single compelling result included. Wow. "Premature Physics" may be a better title.

Very cool to know some brave physicists are looking into this. Reminds me of the book "Collapse of Chaos", by Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen. Rather than constructors, they refer to attractors. It's a really interesting concept for looking at physics in a new way. For those second guessing this, give Collapse of Chaos a read.

Of course this is a powerful method. It allows one to posit what is impossible and derive things from those assumptions. But how can one know that anything or class of things is impossible? BTW, is this method related to Bejan's constructal law?

Could you use random chaos in a robot program that self learns how to walk. By like just generating random chaotic movements which have islands of stability and then the program automatically locks on to these stable islands of appendage motion and thus learns to walk like a spider or something.

My first impression is that constructor theory is Stephen Wolfram's ideas (as detailed in his book 'A New Kind of Science') about treating the whole of physics as a collection of computational systems but looked at from a different perspective. Feel free, everybody, to shoot me down in flames if I'm wrong.

@@shayneoneill1506 I actually think you are completely wrong. Wolframs Theory is truly the real ToE and is able to unite all physics (QM and GR), all mathematics, and even the things physics ignores like “why do fractals exist” and complex systems…with just a single phrase: “reality is a computation.” Constructor Theory seems representative of Wolframs Ruliad: the space of all possible rules, languages or axiom systems.

Of what i understood about this video it's that constructor theory its one that unifies relativity with quantum theory in a way of explaining some laboratory events that exist, and contradicts each other (relativity and quantum). Something its missing, we do not have the complete picture and a new way of thinking is needed. A way of doing this, is to construct/create a theory in parameters of what is impossible and what is possible. Am I right?

On the shallower side of reality, I absolutely love her hair! It forces me to be drawn in to her eyes when she speaks and to listen more intently.

Is it just me or does it sound like Constructed Theory isn't a theory at all? It doesn't try to explain a specific phenomenon, it's just a change in methodological approach that outlines what is and isn't possible (and how is that different to a law of physics anyway).

@REIwAlexY

it is VERY different. from what I understand, it's essentially the opposite of how we do things currently. we generally start with some physical observations and then try to come up with explanations for them. for example, we see objects fall to earth so we come with gravity. sometimes, we do the opposite where there is a big leap in theoretical physics and it takes practical theorists a long time to demonstrate real-life proof of the concepts. for example, exotic theories like string theory, supersymmetry, etc would currently fall into this category for now as we don't have good physical evidence for them yet. what she describes seems to be more like how geometry works where u start with certain core ideas and then try to explain how everything broader than that works based on those fundamental ideas/constraints. that's at least what I got out of this.

It sounds kind of hypey and not that significant to me. Basically trying to figure out theoretical possibilities and impossibilities that apply in a broader manner, "holistic" laws rather than only "reducionist" ones, or reducionist constraints on a given "system." Not necessarily useless or anything, maybe it can result in some interesting or fundamentally important findings, analog to saying that a perpetual motion machine is impossible but for more things. But one article I've read on another magazine was basically 99% fluff around how some physicist was wrong in saying that the laws of physics must somehow have a propensity to producing biological adaptations, which the article says is a profound mistake, and then basically tries to explain in a constructor-theory framework how the fundamental laws themselves don't need to have anything to do with biological adaptation for it to evolve. Which should be sort of obvious and more clearly explained by the most cursory, high-school-level explanation of natural selection. Perhaps the closest thing to some kind of contribution of this "phrasing" approach was to "explaining" the origin of life itself, speaking of the process of abiogenesis as nothing but a long process of "natural selection" that in the end more fundamentally needs "information" and energy, things that exist in physics in general, not only at the biological level of organization. But again, somewhere else I once read or heard a less pretentious-sounding and clearer "borrowing" of natural selection to help explain the origin of life itself, phrasing instead that in a pre-biotic environment generating "not-quite replicators" those who came closer to being "almost" replicators also had an inherent "semi-reproductive" advantage, producing more things that are closer to achieving "full" replication, that would eventually be "self-sustained." I like this line of phrasing more than one with things like "information," "recipe," which to me sound almost "anthropomorphic," and ideally avoided in this topic specifically, even if the notion of "laws of information" is ultimately useful. Perhaps "information" here specifically is ideally rephrased in some way that conveys more of a "random" and natural origin for it (including natural filters or selection), for the "quantification of physical properties," instead of phrasings that inherently convey an "intelligent" origin of it. But not only "constructor theory" sticks with using "information" but speaks of "recipes" and even "knowledge." I'm sure creationists will be delighted to exploit the potential of this kind of phrasing to suggest that "the most advanced theoretical physics, promising to unify quantum mechanics and special relativity, make clear that the universe and life requires the Knowledge of an Intelligent Constructor with his Recipes containing Information in order to be adequately explained, rather than pure randomness." Apparently some people on the comments even bring up aspects of "artificial intelligence" and "computational physics," which are also likely to be turned into something like, "obviously, the computation of the universe is nothing but the mind of God, with an intelligence that's not artificial, but miraculous. Finally physics has catch up with the bible."

I don't believe, that attempt to change the Law of Physics is a wise idea. There is a new book, which within the boundary of the Law of Physics is explaining the entire Universe - "Theory of Everything in Physics and The Universe"

Very interesting, and reflects my own perspective. Traditional physical theories have served us well and continue to do so, in the context of life on our planet Earth and in our Solar System, but considering the more extreme context of the Milky Way, and the wider Universe, do our traditional tried and tested theories still apply? and I very much doubt that they do universally. I always say to my students that we don't know what we don't know, and in my mind that's where quantum theory steps in, to help us understand physical existence on a more pluralistic level.

Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons. Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles? Does the 720 degree rotation of a 1/2 spin particle require at least one extra dimension? Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons . Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process. Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves.

4:57 what is that with the blinking lights?

Can laws governing information be effectively applied to other disciplines? I suspect not.

I am intrigued. Constructor theory immediately reminded me of mathematical axioms. As an aspiring physicist, this field is of incredible relevance and interest. I'm hoping to learn more about the holographic principle (without string theory) and information (so topics such as the Bekenstein bound). But I agree with Dr. Marletto: the physical descriptions of information and entropy I've found appear very imprecise. Constructor theory may offer a more concrete description within my lifetime and career, which I look forward to. Thanks for sharing this interview, Quanta. Right on point.

I have a feeling they’d frustrate each other by constantly using the same words to mean different things. But it would be fascinating to watch. I’d prefer it as a Portal interview, I think. If they were co-interviewees, it could be a train wreck.

SPOILER ALERT: no content in this video, unless you count people reacting to a notebook.

This made sense to me. What she is working on is an approach to physics and how the world works that is different from the approach we've had for the past, what, 2,500 years. It's clear that the approach we've always had has got us to this point, and that's great, but now we're stuck with two theories that clash and seemingly no common ground, and no apparent way forward. The natural thing to do then is to turn the "object" so you have a different aspect and can look at it in a different way, from a different angle. Saying this differently, our traditional approach to understanding physics and how the world works has stopped working. What we know doesn't explain everything that we see, and we aren't asking the right questions. Change the point of view, change the approach, and the hope is that that new questions will appear that we don't know to ask today.

@Chiara .. @2:59 ...conservation isn’t preservation. As Constructor theory seeks to speak to the original derivation/etymology of the terms, I just wanted to point out the error of that term is all.
