  • Top Comment ❤ - Sean is top notch. He's so fascinated and kind. This is how we all should strive to be. Enthused by enthusiasm. Imagine if all of our cops, judges, politicians explained themselves in such a kind but highly knowledged manner. Thanks for having him on. Will you please have him know again?
  • Has Lex had a talk with a digital physicist ? someone to explicate Wheeler's it-from-bit
  • @KE-yj4ip
    How to say very little with so much ~some black hole somewhere
  • I would say that spacetime decreases entropy when kinetic energy goes down. That way stars and planets get born.
  • @Hatrackman
    All data is found within the equation that motion itself carries. The only legacy that survives big bangs.
  • this part was So unedifying. For a start it needs to be discussed what the realtionship is between thermodynamic entropy (disorder) and information theory's *entropy*, where I believe the word means the *quantity of information*. We could use some guest to help,sort this out (and tell the von Neumann joke anecdote about the naming the-quantity-of-information - he really was joking - he certainly intuited the rich, real, but counterintuitive analogy(?)
  • @justinava1675
    Why are we classifying it as information? When a hurricane or say an explosion destroys something do we call the remaining wreckage information? I just dont understand the desire to call it information. Just trying to make what theyre looking for make sense
  • This guy looks like he would do just as well communicating science as running a d&d campaign, aka the universes DM (dungeon master [for plebs] )
  • 'Black Holes'? Hmm, Memory is our Highest Basic-Ability, second last Deep-Sleep, before wake, is our Memory-Body. So it is Here, that all and any Memory, is Stored. If Memory didn't exist, We would Not be Able, to Remember from word to word. Stuff-side of Life, is a Motion-Ocean, Memory is woven into all Stuff. The Eternal Perspective.
  • this is too opaque for me to be convinced there is something here accessible to understanding
  • There are seven dimensions, and every thought, action, and emotion is imprinted on the stars and planets. When a group of people pass away or resolve certain issues, it can manifest as planets or stars being consumed by black holes. In this way, black holes act as cosmic recycling devices :)

    Information is stored on in Lex's small hands.
