There's a core idea in science that 38 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: experiments should be repeatable. 39 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 4: If you do an experiment the same way different times, 40 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 4: you should get the same result. 41 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: However, there is a loophole. 42 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 4: There's a loophole in science. 43 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that loophole opens a window into everything we 44 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: think is true about reality in the universe and everything. 45 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 4: Welcome to Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe. 46 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: In which we try to take the entire universe and 47 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: break it into bite sized pieces so you can enjoy 48 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: them with your afternoon coffee. 49 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 4: I'm more I'm a cartoonist. I draw comics online. 50 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: And I'm Daniel. I'm a particle physicist. I spend my 51 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: days smashing protons together at the large Hadron colliders to 52 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: try to reveal the secrets of the universe, mostly so 53 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: that I can tell them to you in this podcast. 54 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 4: Basically, only one of us is qualified to be explaining 55 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 4: things to you on this podcast. 56 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: That would be the cartoonist. Yeah, physicists are not qualified 57 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: usually to be explainers. Mostly we just try to solve 58 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: the mysteries of the universe. We don't try to tell 59 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: anybody about them, right. 60 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 4: Mostly physicists just need explaining, that's right. 61 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: That's where the cartoons come in, right. 62 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, and spouses also, spouses of physicists probably have to 63 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 4: do a lot of explaining. 64 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: You've got some explaining to do, exactly. Yeah. So we're 65 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: here to talk to you about big questions about the universe. 66 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: And today's question is a really deep and basic question, 67 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: and it's about the very nature of reality. What is it? 68 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: What are we going to talk about today? 69 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 4: Is the universe random or is it just chaotic? And 70 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: what's the difference? 71 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 1: Or is it run by some super being and we're 72 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: actually just in their simulation. But that's other episode. 73 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 4: That's a whole other podcast. 74 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: Right today, just the two sinister options, random or chaotic, 75 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: you might feel like, ooh, neither of those sound very cozy. 76 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to live in either of those universes. 77 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 4: Well, the question basically breaks down to is the universe predictable? 78 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 4: Like can you predict what the universe is going to do? 79 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 4: Or is it that nobody can predict what the universe 80 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 4: is going to do? 81 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Right? And I think that's why it's an awesome question 82 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: for science because for so many thousands and thousands of years, 83 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: I think humans probably felt like the universe around them 84 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: was totally unpredictable. I mean, they invented gods for this 85 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: and for that to try to describe how the universe 86 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: was out of their control and doing things that didn't 87 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: make sense, as if it had some you know, will 88 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: and agency, right, Yeah, and then science comes along it 89 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: says actually there are rules and you can discover them, 90 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: and slowly science starts to creep in this description of 91 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: the universe that locks out this agency, this idea, this personality, 92 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: and gives you the sense that maybe the universe follows 93 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: these rules. 94 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 4: Right. So we went out and as usual, you'll ask 95 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 4: people on the street do you think the universe is 96 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 4: random or chaotic? 97 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: And here's what they had to say. 98 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 5: That's gonna okay, that's a that's a thinker right there. 99 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 5: I would say, surely random. With randomness comes chaos. You 100 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 5: never know what will happen, but there's there's always a 101 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 5: probability and a chance of things, of certain things happening. 102 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 4: I'd like to say random. 103 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 3: I'm religious, so I feel like everything happens for a reason, 104 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: And yes it is random, but there's a purpose behind everything. 105 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 4: I think it's a mixture of both. Like it's random, 106 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 4: but it can appear chaotic because of how. 107 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 6: Everything is truly chaotic, because like on a smaller level, 108 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 6: everything is like moving really fast, but at like a 109 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 6: bigger level, we don't see any of that. 110 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: Wow, So would you think of those answers or him? 111 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 4: I think they were all over the place. They were 112 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: actually kind of random. 113 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're random and chaotic. I feel like I feel 114 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: like people had no idea what I was asking them, 115 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, I. 116 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 4: Feel like people just I feel like they had no 117 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 4: idea what they were answering. 118 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: Some of those people. I remember recording these interviews, and 119 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: some of those people, as the words were coming out 120 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: of their mouth, I felt like they surprised them as 121 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: much as they did me. Like it was all over 122 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: the place. 123 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I feel like some people it's interesting. Some 124 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 4: people related to that question to the other question, which 125 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 4: is like does the universe have a purpose? Like do 126 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 4: things happen for a reason? Or do they Is it 127 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 4: just like a random role to die and nobody's really 128 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 4: in charge? Like that's the question, right, Like is somebody 129 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 4: in charge of the universe or is it impossible for 130 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 4: anyone to kind of predict what it's going to do? 131 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right. That does get at the 132 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: heart of the question. You know what's going to happen 133 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: in the universe and can we tell and can we 134 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: influence it? Right? Is the universe sort of churning on 135 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: without our ability to change this direction at all in 136 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: some sort of way that's been determined since the dawn 137 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: of time? Or can we nudget and in one way 138 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: or the other, you know, make the calves win? Or 139 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: can you if you jump up and down in front 140 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: of your television enough whill the Warriors win another NBA championship? 141 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: You know? Can you influence the world? I think that's 142 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: a that's an interesting and deep question. Yeah, that's probably 143 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: the one people were actually having in their mind. 144 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, so may let's go back in history. And I 145 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 4: like how you think about this question a lot, Daniel, 146 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 4: which is that you sort of start with early man, 147 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 4: like the cave men and woman and women, early humans, 148 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 4: we're really just kind of at the mercy of all 149 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 4: the elements and all the animals out there and the weather, 150 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 4: and so they to them, the universe was this crazy, 151 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 4: random and chaotic place, right, Yeah. 152 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: And it actually it touches on sort of my personal 153 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: theory of consciousness, which is that we developed this awareness 154 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: because we are looking out into the world for other 155 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: people or other ideas. Are there intelligences and we have 156 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: this hyperactive ability to see agency, to see intention in 157 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: something that we don't understand, and we imagine that there 158 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: must be a mind behind it. And so I think 159 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: for a long time, people's view the world was that 160 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: it was controlled by other greater minds. You know, what 161 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: controls the lightning? Why do some people die of disease? 162 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: All this stuff? 163 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 4: And then as there must be like a consciousness that 164 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 4: is shooting out these lightning bolts or making it rain, 165 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 4: or you know, making the sun come out. 166 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: Or killing my baby of some horrible disease. Right, like, 167 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: there must be. It's hard to live in this world 168 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: if you don't have the sense that there's somebody else 169 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: in charge. Right there's a lot of suffering and a 170 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: lot of pain, and a lot of unexplained events, and 171 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: it's nice to think somebody else out there is taking 172 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: care of it, or somebody's in charge of it. 173 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 4: But there's a reason, right. 174 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that there's a reason, that there's some design. It's 175 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: not just random. But then as history progresses, as we 176 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: were saying earlier, you know, science comes along, it says, well, 177 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: there are seemed to be some rules, not just like 178 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: that anything can happen. You can't have an Ostrich here 179 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden the ostrich is gone. 180 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: There are some rules that limit what can happen. If 181 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: you know what's happening. Now there's a certain set of 182 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: possibilities for what can happen in one second and two seconds? 183 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: Then you know that's physics, right. 184 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 4: Well, it started with like noticing patterns, right, Like lightning 185 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 4: doesn't just come out of nowhere, It comes out when 186 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 4: there's these dark clouds in the sky. 187 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, absolutely absolutely, And people started noticing patterns and 188 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: started putting those together and then asking themselves, can I 189 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: use what I've learned in the past to predict the future? 190 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 6: Right? 191 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: Like if I have the same set of events that 192 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: happened yesterday, I am I going to be able to 193 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: tell what's going to happen next week if the same 194 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: thing happens. 195 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 6: Right. 196 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: If I roll a ball down the hill yesterday and 197 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: it goes up to a certain speed, will the same 198 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: thing happen tomorrow? 199 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 4: Right? Right? Or if I throw a ball in the 200 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 4: air and I know which direction it's going and how 201 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 4: fast it is going, can I predict where it's going 202 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 4: to land exactly? If I build a catapult, can I 203 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 4: basically aim it right? 204 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: Exactly? And that's how military technology drove science even hundreds 205 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: of years ago. Right, where do I shoot my cannon exactly? 206 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: To get over that wall. 207 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, that's kind of where Newton came in, right, 208 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 4: Isaac Newton, And that's why they say he kind of 209 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 4: gave birth to science, right, or at least the scientific revolution. 210 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: No, I think it was earlier than that. Newton came 211 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: along well after folks like Galileo and Francis Bacon and 212 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: those guys. They really were the first ones to do 213 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: experiments and to say, let's see what the rules of 214 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: the universe is following, and let's see if we can 215 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: try to deduce them and use those to predict the 216 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: outcome of future experiments. They really were the first ones 217 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: to connect the idea of a scientific universe to the 218 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: actual experiments they do to influence those ideas and to 219 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: predict future results. And I think that's the key is 220 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: that here we've developed a system science which can not 221 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: only explain what we've seen before, but can predict the future. 222 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: Now you are about to fire a cannon ball at 223 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: your enemy. You want to know where is that ball 224 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: going to fly? And it's incredible that physics can do that. 225 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: It can literally predict the future if you know enough 226 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: about the situation, right. 227 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 4: Right, It's kind of like Google Maps. Now it can 228 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 4: totally tell if you're going to be late to meeting 229 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 4: or not, or to a podcast recording, like how long 230 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 4: will take you to get home? They're like, oh, they're 231 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 4: going to be late. 232 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: It's not always a hard problem though. Jege for example, 233 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: it says if person equals whohe, then late equals true 234 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: every time. 235 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 4: Every time. 236 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: Data predictable data, and some of these things are simple, 237 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: but some of these things are complicated, And it's incredible 238 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: to witness as physics sort of builds confidence and science 239 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: develops our ability to predict you know, chemical reactions and 240 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: biological function, all sorts of things, and then it gives 241 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: this creeping sense of is there anything that can escape science? Right? 242 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: Can science predict everything? Like if you knew enough about 243 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: the world, could you break it all down to cannonballs 244 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: to predict where all those cannonballs are going to fly 245 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: and then tell exactly what's going to happen? 246 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's like kind of like if you know 247 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 4: that force equals mass times acceleration, like Newton figured out, 248 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,119 Speaker 4: then you can predict things like cannon balls and catapults 249 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 4: and and and you could possibly predict like how a 250 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 4: room of particles move, right, Yeah, possibly you can extend 251 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 4: that to can you predict how the whole world works? Yeah, 252 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 4: what it's going to do and what people are going to. 253 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: Do, extrapolate to the whole universe, right, Yeah, I mean, 254 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: and that's the principle of determinism. It says, look, if 255 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: things follow rules, and the future is dependent only two things, 256 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: one the rules and two the things that are happening 257 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: now the current state, right, given if you know exactly 258 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: where things are, imagine the whole universe is just a 259 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: bunch of tiny cannonballs, right, and you know the rules 260 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 1: of those cannonballs, and you know the position and direction 261 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: of motion of all those cannonballs. Then in principle, given 262 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 1: a super powerful universe sized computer, you should be able 263 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: to predict the future one to five ten seconds into 264 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: the future, a thousand seconds into the future. 265 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 4: Like every single molecule, atom, subatomic particle. You should be able. 266 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 4: If it follows rules, you should be able to kind 267 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 4: of track where it's going to go. Is should tell you, 268 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 4: based on where things are now, what's going to happen exactly. 269 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 4: It's kind of like this idea of a clock, right right, 270 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 4: is the universe giant clock just kind of clicking along 271 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 4: or is there some kind of magic inside of it 272 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 4: that makes it unpredictable? 273 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: Right exactly. And the idea of the universe just being 274 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: a huge clock is both exciting and terrifying. Right. It's 275 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: exciting because like, wow, can you imagine we could understand 276 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: the universe that well, that we could predict the future, 277 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: think about what we could do, right, But it's terrifying 278 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: because it's sort of like you're trapped in this science 279 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: cage where you have no influence over the world and 280 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: everything you do and know and say, and that joke 281 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna make in that fart you're gonna let slip 282 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: are all predictable, right, All those things are predictable. That's scary. 283 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: It makes you feel like you are part of that 284 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: watch and you're just clicking along because you're reacting to 285 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: things around you in your initial conditions. And so that's terrifying. 286 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 4: And I think we have kind of an innate sense 287 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 4: of like rejecting this idea that we're trapped. Right. Everyone 288 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 4: wants to feel like they have free will, Like everyone 289 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 4: wants to know that they have a choice. 290 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: Right, Well, I guess so my kids don't feel that way, 291 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 1: you know, like, why did you hit your sister? Well, 292 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: she hit me, you know, Like, well, so what you 293 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: have no free will? Like you're completely determined by her behavior. 294 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: I have that argument with my kids so many times. 295 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm always thinking about the philosophical echoes of that. 296 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 4: My kids are always rebelling. They're like, we want free will. 297 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 4: Don't tell us what to do? 298 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: I see, but they want you to follow rules. They're like, 299 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: you promised, daddy we could have ice cream, right, and 300 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: so therefore you have to There's no more decision to 301 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: be made. 302 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 4: Kids are so unfair. 303 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: They're philosophically inconsistent. I think it's really the problem with Yeah, 304 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: the cute, But if they just read some more Nietzsche, 305 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: you know, and some some carl and some Popper or whatever, 306 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: they would be easier to be around. 307 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, forget those picture books. Let's introduce it. 308 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: Let's predict the universe with big wireless providers. What you 309 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: see is never what you get somewhere between the store 310 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: and your first month's bill, the price you thought you 311 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: were paying.

See mint mobile for details. 331 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 7: AI might be the most important new computer technology ever. 332 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 7: It's storming every industry and literally billions of dollars are 333 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 7: being invested, so buckle up. The problem is that AI 334 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 7: needs a lot of speed and processing power, So how 335 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 7: do you compete without cost spiraling out of control. It's 336 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 7: time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud. 337 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 7: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or OCI.

That's why they're working 377 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: hard every day to find new ways to reduce waste, 378 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: conserve natural resources, and drive down greenhouse gas emissions. Take water, 379 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: for example, most dairy farms reuse water up to four times. 380 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: The same water cools the milk, cleans equipment, washes the barn, 381 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: and irrigates the crops. How is US Dairy tackling greenhouse gases. 382 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: Many farms use anaerobic digestors that turn the methane from 383 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: maneure into renewable energy that can power farms, towns, and 384 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: electric cars. So the next time you grab a slice 385 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: of pizza or lick an ice cream cone, know that 386 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: dairy farmers and processors around the country are using the 387 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: latest practices and innovations to provide the nutrient dense dairy 388 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: products we love with less of an impact.

I think there's 390 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: something fascinating about the deterministic view of the universe, but 391 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: probably people out there thinking, Okay, maybe in theory you 392 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: could predict the whole universe, but in practice that's impossible. 393 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have a universe sized computer to 394 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: break the whole universe, and even to predict like you know, 395 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: a person is a huge number of articles, and so 396 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: to do that calculation just seems impractical. 397 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 4: Right, Right, it's practically possible, but I think people revel 398 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 4: just to the idea of it, right, Like, are my 399 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 4: thoughts my thoughts or just something that I'm programmed and 400 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 4: that I will inevitably have and do. 401 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's a really deep question. And so we 402 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: started out with prehistoric man feeling like the universe is 403 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: full of random not random, but unexplained agency and intelligence 404 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: all the way to life. Now, scientific physical determinism says, actually, 405 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: the universe just clicks along like a watch, right, and 406 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: there's no free will. So let's take one step back 407 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: from that, and that's chaos. That says, well, maybe the 408 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: universe is deterministic, sure, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily 409 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: practical for you to predict it because the way things 410 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: play out is really sensitive to exactly how things started. 411 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 4: Well, I think some people who responded to their question. 412 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 4: Maybe weren't sure about the difference, right, Like, what's the 413 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 4: difference between something being chaotic and something being random? 414 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: Right? And so let's drill into that. So let's take, 415 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: for an example, the roll of a dice. Right, people 416 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: think of rolling dice as random, but actually it's chaotic, 417 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: meaning that it's hard to predict, but it is deterministic. 418 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 4: Oh what do you mean? 419 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: If you knew exactly how I threw the dice, like 420 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: exactly the direction and the spin and all the molecules 421 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: of the air, then you could treat the moll like 422 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: the little cannon balls, little particles, and you could model 423 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: how it rolls, and you could, in theory, predict exactlyactly 424 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: how the dice rolled every time. 425 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 4: Meaning like if if I'm seeing footage of you throwing 426 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 4: to die, and like I pause the video just as 427 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 4: to die leave your hands, then I could you know 428 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 4: where they are. I know which direction they're going, how 429 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 4: fast are going. I could run some kind of computer 430 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 4: simulation to like follow the die and predict what they're 431 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 4: going to do when they bounce off the table and 432 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 4: roll around. I could potentially predict what the dye are 433 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 4: going to show. 434 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: That's right, because we're saying that the universe in that 435 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: case is deterministic, and so you should be able to 436 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: predict the future given enough information about the setup. Right now, 437 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: that's a hard problem, and that's why we use dice, right, 438 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: because it's really difficult, and nobody can practically, like bring 439 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: a mini computer into Las Vegas and use that to 440 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: predict who's going to win it Craps, right though in theory, 441 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: In theory, you could if the universe was deterministic but 442 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: very sensitive to exactly how somebody's rolling the dice. Right, 443 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: when you throw the dice at Craps, if you flip 444 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: it this way or that way, then it's going to 445 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: bounce slightly differently, and how it's going to hit that 446 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: the felt on the table. It's all very very sensitive, 447 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 1: and a very small change in how you throw it 448 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: can result in a totally different number. That's what we 449 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: mean by chaos. 450 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,239 Speaker 4: It means that it's like the butterfly effect, right, like 451 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 4: the idea that if you butterfly flaps is wing here, 452 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 4: it's going to have a huge effect, maybe potentially on 453 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 4: the weather and on the other side of the world. Right, 454 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 4: It's like a very sensitive system. 455 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: That's right. The weather is a great example because we 456 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: understand all the processes of weather. I mean, it's hot air, 457 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: it's cold air, it's water. We know that stuff. It's 458 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: pretty simple chemistry. But all together, an entire planet is 459 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: really difficult to describe because it's huge and it's really sensitive. Like, 460 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: as you say, a butterfly flapping its wings in China 461 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 1: could change the way this air flows, which could change 462 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: the way that air flows, which bounces off this building, 463 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: which turns into a rainstorm, which collides with this cloud 464 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: and causes a hurricane. Right, it's not true that every 465 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: time a butterfly flaps its wings you get a hurricane. 466 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 4: But sometimes so weather is it's chaotic, but it's not random, 467 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 4: is that what you're saying? That rand Like, if we 468 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 4: could keep track of every single butterfly in the world 469 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 4: flapping its wing, we would be able to predict the 470 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 4: weather if we had a giant supercomputer the size of 471 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 4: the Solar System. But since we don't, then weather it 472 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 4: seems random, But actually it's chaotic. 473 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: Exactly, And that's exactly what scientists are trying to do. 474 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: They're building bigger and bigger and faster computers to try 475 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: to simulate more and more of the Earth's atmosphere to 476 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: get better and better predictions of weather. In fact, I 477 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: think like all the top ten supercomputers in the world 478 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: are devoted to that problem, like modeling the weather, because 479 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: it's important. But you're exactly right, it's actually chaotic, meaning 480 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: it's deterministic but really sensitive to exactly how it started. 481 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: But it seems random because it's too difficult for us 482 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 1: to calculate, and principle we should be able to, but 483 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: we can't. Another example is flipping a coin. Right, based 484 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: on how you flip the coin, you should be able 485 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,479 Speaker 1: to model how it spins through the air and how 486 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: it bounces off air molecule and how it hits the 487 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: ground and where it lands right, But it's a difficult problem. 488 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: So we can use it to model randomness to say 489 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: it's kind of like randomness. Really it's just chaotic though, But. 490 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 4: Then if I flip the coin one hundred times, most 491 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 4: likely half of those times will behead and half of 492 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 4: those times will be tails. Right, So where does that 493 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 4: fit into chaos theory? Like why is it predictable on 494 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 4: a statistical basis? 495 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: Okay, so that's fascinating that's an emergent phenomenon. Right. That says, 496 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: if you understand the tiny little local laws of physics, 497 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: like the laws of how the particles inside the coin move, 498 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: you should be able to predict some larger effect. And 499 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: it's true, there is a simple or description of that 500 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: larger effect, right, if you understand how these things work. 501 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: So physics works on these layers. Right, you can either 502 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: understand it a very low layer and try to model 503 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: it all the way up to a higher layer, or 504 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: you can just try to get an understanding at a 505 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: higher layer, just the same way. You could say, well, 506 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: I can understand the way canniball flies by modeling all 507 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: the particles inside of it, or you could just use 508 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: F equals M, which treats the whole cannonball like one particle. 509 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: That's just a question of at what layer you're modeling something. Right. 510 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 4: Okay, so a coin is chaotic but not actually random. 511 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: But not actually random yet if the universe is deterministic, 512 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: then a coin is chaotic but not actually random. 513 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, got it, got it. 514 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: But then there's the question of that's the really the 515 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: nugget of the question is is the universe deterministic? You know, 516 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: if you have a particle or a billiard ball or 517 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: a cannonball or whatever, and you understand direction it's going, 518 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: can you predict its future out into infinity? Right? 519 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 5: Right? 520 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: Can you tell exactly what's going to happen? 521 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 4: But there's so many factors leading up to me tossing 522 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 4: the coin that it's so unpredictable that it's it's it 523 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 4: feels random. 524 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: That's right. And so we have to separate between what's 525 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: practical and what's in theory possible. Okay, anything that's chaotic. 526 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: We're saying, in theory, if you knew enough, you could 527 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: predict it, right, whereas but in practice that we can't. 528 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: So it's it's it's. 529 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 4: So it seems. It seems the random number generators and 530 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 4: computers when they try to come up with a random number, 531 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 4: it's not really random, you're saying, it's just an algorithm. 532 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 4: That's chaotic. 533 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: That's right. Computers, by construction are deterministic, right, We've built 534 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: them to be deterministic. Every time you run a program, 535 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: it should give you the same answer if you give 536 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 1: it the same input, right, right. There's no way for 537 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: computer to do anything but that. It's like a series 538 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: of logic gates, and you know, how it's implemented is 539 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: not important, but you know, it's a system for doing 540 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: deterministic calculations. That's what a computer is. So it's impossible 541 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: for computer to be truly random. All the random number 542 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: generators in your favorite Python code are actually pseudo random 543 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: number generators. They're just chaotic. They take a seed a 544 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: number to start from, and then they spin off of 545 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: that and generate a sequence of numbers. But if you 546 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: give them the same seed twice, they'll generate the same 547 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: sequence of numbers twice. 548 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 4: Wow. So like if you're playing a video game and 549 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 4: you're inside of a virtual world, that world is totally 550 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 4: determinat absolutely it's been crunched on by a logical computers. 551 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: Exactly. You do the same move every time. You'll kill 552 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: that boss character every single time. And not even in 553 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: silly games like you know, like punch Out, where the 554 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: guy is totally predictable, but even in more complicated ones. 555 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: You know, if you're in the same world and you 556 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: do the same thing, the same things should happen. Because 557 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: computers are not capable of true randomness. 558 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 4: Before we keep going, let's take a short break. 559 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 2: With the United Explorer Card earn fifty thousand bonus miles, 560 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,239 Speaker 2: then head for places unseen and destinations unknown.

When you pop a 573 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: piece of cheese into your mouth or enjoy a rich 574 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: spoonful of Greek yogurt, you're probably not thinking about the 575 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: environmental impact of each and every bite, but the people 576 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: in the dairy industry are. US Dairy has set themselves 577 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: some ambitious sustainability goals, including being greenhouse gas neutral by 578 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: twenty to fifty. That's why they're working hard every day 579 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: to find new ways to reduce waste, conserve natural resources, 580 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: and drive down greenhouse gas emissions. Take water, for example, 581 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: most dairy farms reuse water up to four times the 582 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: same water cools the milk, cleans equipment, washes the barn, 583 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: and irrigates the crops. How is US dairy tackling greenhouse gases? 584 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: Many farms use anaerobic digestors that turn the methane from 585 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: maneuver into renewable energy that can power farms, towns, and 586 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: electric cars. So the next time you grab a slice 587 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: of pizza or lick an ice cream cone, know that 588 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: dairy farmers and processors around the country are using the 589 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: latest practices and innovations to provide the nutrienttents dairy products 590 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: we love with less of an impact.

Like, 622 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 4: the question is is is our universe also being crunched 623 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 4: by a logical computer that can't be random? 624 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: That's right? And for a long time people thought the 625 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: universe was deterministic. I mean, we were able to predict 626 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: the outcome of every experiment. Things were going along really well. 627 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: And then of. 628 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 4: Course we can throw a spaceship and land it on 629 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 4: the moon. 630 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: That's pretty crazy, right, Yeah, that well, that's pretty risky, 631 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: but yeah, that's pretty amazing. You have to certainly have 632 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,239 Speaker 1: confidence in our ability to predict the future if you're 633 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: going to get into that cannon ball and get shot 634 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: out into space. Right. 635 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 4: Well, I remember in Gratz Cloths, in this classic it's 636 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 4: called linear dynamical systems. But I remember in class, this 637 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 4: guy was so the professor was so cocky. He's like, 638 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 4: of all the technologies that contributed to putting a man 639 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 4: on the moon, this is the one that made it happen. 640 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: Linear algebra. 641 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 4: I kind of had this linear algebra equation we would 642 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 4: not be able to put a man in the mood. 643 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 4: And so that's how powerful this idea is, right, Like, 644 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 4: if you can predict f equals in a you can 645 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 4: put a man on the mood. 646 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's exactly right. And it's given us great 647 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: power over our environment. I mean, everything that we have 648 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: is because we have mastered a lot of the laws 649 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: of our environment and then use them and bent them 650 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: to our will to improve our lives. Right, So it 651 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: certainly works, and we rely in every day, every time 652 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: you get into a car or an airplane, you rely 653 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: on it working the same way it did yesterday, right, right, right, 654 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: So that's that's a relief. But it was about one 655 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: hundred years ago when people started seeing things that they 656 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: couldn't explain, and it was quantum mechanics that told us 657 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: that maybe the universe is not deterministic. Maybe these little 658 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: particles don't follow the same rules that like billiard balls 659 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: and basketballs and larger objects follow, and maybe they're not 660 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: even deterministic, meaning you do the same experiment twice with 661 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: tiny particles, you could get different outcomes even if you 662 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: do it exactly the same way. 663 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 4: And this all came about when people started noticing that 664 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 4: like light and things had a minimum size, right, Like 665 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 4: light doesn't come in infinitely small bits of light, Like 666 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 4: there's chunks of light. 667 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, Einstein was looking at some experiments it 668 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: didn't quite make sense, and the only way he could 669 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: explain them was if light came in little packets. And 670 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: that's what quantum means. Quantum means a unit or a packet, 671 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: and so he suggested that maybe light comes in these 672 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: little packets. But then it had all these far reaching consequences, 673 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: you know, about light going through mirrors and through prisms, 674 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: and the way people could understand that was only if 675 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: there were various probabilities for things to happen, and they 676 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: began this whole revolution of quantum mechanics, which then Einstein 677 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: tried to put the brakes on, right, He was like, wait, 678 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: hold on a second, guys, this is crazy talk. There's 679 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: no way the universe works this. 680 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 4: Way, meaning like, this idea of quantum stuff only made 681 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 4: sense if the universe work based on probabilities, not like deterministically, 682 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 4: you know, you have to describe things with wave functions, 683 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 4: and things aren't really like point particles or kind of 684 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 4: fuzzy things. 685 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: That's exactly the point is that there's this fuzziness in 686 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: the universe and quantum mechanics because there's these minimum sized 687 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: objects and the way they interfere with each other and 688 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: the way the calculations happen. Quantum mechanics predicts that the 689 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: universe is fundamentally random, and it means that, for example, 690 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,719 Speaker 1: you have an electron, you don't know exactly where it is. 691 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: There's a probability distribution that says, most likely it's here, 692 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: maybe it's there, maybe it's somewhere else. 693 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 4: Is it that we can't is it like a randomness, 694 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 4: like we can't know where it is, or that there's 695 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 4: this trade off between like momentum and position. 696 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: Right, that's exactly the right question, and that's exactly what 697 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: people were asking. They looked at these equations and they said, well, 698 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: is it that we can't predict where the electron is, 699 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: like it's totally impossible to predict. Or is it that 700 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: we just don't know where it is that we haven't 701 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: figured it out how to get that information? Right? Does 702 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: the information not exist or do we just not have it? 703 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: And so Einstein is the one who said there must 704 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: be some hidden variable, there must be something that these 705 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,760 Speaker 1: particles are carrying, some piece of information that determines exactly 706 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: what's going to happen to them. But we just don't 707 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: know what it is. Oh I see to him. It 708 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: was crazy to think that you could shoot an electron 709 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: into an experiment twice and get two different answers, but 710 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: that's what appeared to happen. People set up these careful 711 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: experiments where you would shoot a photon one at a time. 712 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: You would shoot photons into an experiment, and every photon 713 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: would do something different, and then as you would accumulate 714 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: a bunch of photons, it would add up to give 715 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: you a distribution that made sense to you, just the 716 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: same way when you flip a coin, you get heads, 717 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: you get tails, you get heads, you get tails. It 718 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: seems random, but eventually it builds up to fifty to fifty. Right. 719 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: Quantum mechanics tells us all we can do is predict 720 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: the eventual distribution. We can say, if you measure a 721 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: thousand electrons, some of them will go here and some 722 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: of them will go there. It says you can't predict 723 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: any individual one. All you can predict is the distribution 724 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: of outcomes. 725 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 4: So eistin was like, maybe a photon is kind of 726 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 4: like the coin we were talking about before, Like maybe 727 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 4: it seems random to us, but really it's just kind 728 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 4: of this chain of little local events that actually make 729 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 4: it predictable. That's right, if we knew all that information inside, 730 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 4: Like maybe it just looks fuzzy to us and we 731 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 4: can't tell where it is, but inside that part of 732 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 4: really actually knows where it is. 733 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: It's exactly right. 734 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 4: That's what he wanted to believe, right. 735 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: That's what he wanted to believe, And you got to 736 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: sympathize with the guy. Right, it's hard to imagine that 737 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: the universe would not be deterministic. I mean, we spent 738 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: hundreds of years building up our confidence in science and 739 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: in physics, especially as being able to predict the future, 740 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: and just of saying, basically, the universe follows rules. Right, 741 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, you're telling us, what 742 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,280 Speaker 1: there's like dice in there? 743 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 5: Right? 744 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: Is there some randomness? Like every time you shoot an 745 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: electronic experiment, somebody or something or the universe is making 746 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: like a random decision about where it's going to go. 747 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: It seems crazy. So you're absolutely right. And he suggested 748 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: that a simpler explanation is that they're carrying along another 749 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 1: piece of information that we just don't have access to, 750 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: or can't measure or didn't measure, and that that's actually 751 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: determining in a totally predictable way what's going to happen 752 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: to each particle. That was his solution to the problem. 753 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,399 Speaker 4: Well, he famously said God doesn't play dice, right. 754 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 1: Famously quoted as saying that I'm not sure he actually did, 755 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: but it's oh, it's really but it's a pretty good 756 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:04,439 Speaker 1: summary of what he believed fake news about hindsight, Well, 757 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: like a lot of fake news is a kernel of 758 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 1: truth in it. He certainly wanted to believe in the 759 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: deterministic universe and it made sense to him. And you 760 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: know what it makes sense to me. I mean the 761 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 1: idea that there's like a true random number generator somewhere 762 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: in the universe that's making a decision every time you 763 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 1: shoot an electron into something. It doesn't make any sense 764 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: to me intuitively. You know, not that the universe has 765 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,280 Speaker 1: to make sense to me intuitively, but it doesn't. 766 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 4: So you're saying, the quantum mechanics says that there is 767 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 4: a randomness in things, and so where is that randomness 768 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 4: actually in like the position of particles, in their velocity, 769 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 4: in their like very being, in their energy level. Is 770 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 4: this randomness of everything? 771 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: Well, there's randomness at every level. I mean there's randomness 772 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: between every time you look at something. So say, for example, 773 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: you measure an electron, you see it's a certain place, 774 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 1: then you look away, right, because you can't monitor an 775 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: electron every moment or every nanosecond even you look away, 776 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: what does the electron do between when you last saw 777 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 1: it and when you'll next see it? 778 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 4: Meaning like, if I know where it is and how 779 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 4: fast it's going, and then I look away and I 780 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 4: look again, is it going to be where I think 781 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 4: it's going to be? 782 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. And so every moment of an electron or 783 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,240 Speaker 1: a particle's life is determined by quantum mechanics, which says 784 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: this is a probability distribution. It's not like the electron 785 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: is doing something behind your back. It's got one particular 786 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: path that you're just not aware of behind your back, 787 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: and you just don't know it. It doesn't have a 788 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: specific path. It's not like it goes from A to 789 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: B via a particular path. It has a probability of 790 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,720 Speaker 1: different ways to get there. WHOA And if you don't look, 791 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: then it's sort of doing all of them at once. 792 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: They all have different probabilities, and those probabilities are the 793 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,439 Speaker 1: things determined by the laws of physics. So there still 794 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 1: are laws. Physics still does tell the universe how to run. 795 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 1: It's just that those laws are probabilistic. It says, look, 796 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: mister electron, instead of telling you exactly where you're going 797 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,280 Speaker 1: to go, I'm going to say you have a seventy 798 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: percent chance of doing this and a thirty percent chance 799 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:06,839 Speaker 1: of doing that. 800 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 4: So that's where the fuzziness and the randomness comes in. 801 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 4: It's not that it like, it looks fuzzy, it's just 802 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 4: that it's just hard to predict where it's going to be. 803 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: It's impossible. 804 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 4: I mean, you know all this information, it's impossible. 805 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: It's impossible to predict the future. Impossible exactly. You can 806 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: predict the various likelihood of this or the likelihood of 807 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: that at the particle level, but you can't say what 808 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: one particle is going to do. Wow, Now Einstein said, 809 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,959 Speaker 1: that's crazy, right, There's no way that's true. There must 810 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: be a way to predict it must be there there's 811 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: some piece of information there. And then some guys came 812 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: up with an experiment. They came up with this crazy experiment. 813 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: It's based on an idea called Bell's inequality. To test 814 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 1: this theory, they said, let's see if the universe is 815 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: really random, or if there's some hidden piece of information 816 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: that's actually secretly determining things. 817 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 4: Like let's see if if I really can't predict where 818 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 4: that electron is going to go, or if it's actually 819 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 4: like the electron knows, it just won't tell. 820 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: Us, yeah, right, exactly. And so they set up this 821 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: cool experiment where they took a particle and they had 822 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: to shoot out two particles in opposite directions. And those 823 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: particles are therefore connected because they have to conserve momentum 824 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: and they have to conserve energy and have to conserve spin. 825 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 1: And so if you know something about one particle, then 826 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: you know something about the other particle. But both particles 827 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,959 Speaker 1: have equal probability to be like spin up or spin down, 828 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: or point this way, a point the other way. But 829 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: you know something about the combination of the two. And 830 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: so they came up with this really ingenious experiment to 831 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: measure how often you saw one spin up and one 832 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: spin down, for example, and based on the outcome of that, 833 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 1: you could tell whether there was a secret, hidden piece 834 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: of information that was controlling both particles, or whether they 835 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: were both truly random. And the experiments are conclusive, and 836 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 1: it's been done as zillion times, and the experiment tells 837 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 1: us that the universe at its core really is random. 838 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: It's making a random decision every time you look at 839 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: these particles. 840 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 4: So beyond the shadow of a doubt, we know that 841 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 4: the universe is random. 842 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: The universe is random absolutely. 843 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 4: There's no. 844 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,800 Speaker 1: There's no escape clause, there's no if hands or butts, 845 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 1: there's no there's no loopholes. The universe at the particle 846 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,760 Speaker 1: level is really random. Now, you said something really interesting earlier. 847 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 1: You know, even if the universe is random at the 848 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: lowest level, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's random at 849 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,399 Speaker 1: other levels, right, Like we still got to the moon. Right. 850 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 1: It's not like we're saying science doesn't work or you 851 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 1: shouldn't get in that airplane. Right. Science works at at 852 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: different levels. And even if it's random at the very 853 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: very small level, doesn't mean that on average it's really predictable, right, Like, 854 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: we do know how basketballs bounce, right, And that's because 855 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: the randomness only applies to these tiny little particles, and 856 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: over the ten to the thirty or whatever particles and 857 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: a basketball, that all averages out to something very very predictable. 858 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 4: Wow, So like random events Canada add up to predictable events? 859 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:55,919 Speaker 4: Is that kind of what you're saying? 860 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Like you can't tell how any individual voter 861 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: is going to vote, but if you've done enough polls 862 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: you can tell you know how the nation is going 863 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: to vote at a certain election. 864 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 4: That worked out so well in the twenty sixteen election. 865 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that wasn't the best. 866 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 4: Example totally predictable. At the level of particles, there is randomness, 867 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 4: but maybe in the macroscale things are fairly predictable. Yeah, 868 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 4: but how does that affect things like free will? Does 869 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:31,399 Speaker 4: that mean that, like my brain, does quantum randomness give 870 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 4: me some sort of unpredictability or free will as you 871 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 4: might call it, Or is my brain also very predictable 872 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 4: in the long run. 873 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,839 Speaker 1: It's a great question, and into this tiny crack in determinism, 874 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: you know, saying that at the particle level things are 875 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: truly random, and there's flooded and enormous literature of consciousness 876 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: and all sorts of philosophy that try to connect free 877 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: will to quantum randomness, you know, to say that this 878 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 1: is the whole we needed, This is what breaks determinism 879 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 1: and allows for me and my soul and God and 880 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 1: all the and and all the things you want to 881 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 1: cram into your universe. Right, I'm not convinced that quantum 882 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: mechanics allows for free will, or for souls or you know, 883 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: for all that kind of stuff, but it certainly does 884 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 1: dismantle the deterministic watchlike universe that we thought we had. 885 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 4: M So, just because something is random doesn't mean you 886 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:21,399 Speaker 4: have free will. 887 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:26,360 Speaker 1: Like it's just random, yeah, exactly, exactly. And so to 888 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 1: answer the question, you know, is the universe random or 889 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: is it chaotic? Turns out it's kind of both. Right, 890 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 1: It's random at the particle level, but it's chaotic at 891 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: the macroscopic level. Right. Things do seem to be fairly 892 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: deterministic at the macroscopic level, but then again they're too 893 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 1: chaotic to really to really model. So it's not like 894 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: you can predict the weather. 895 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 4: It's kind of a progression. Like it's random at the 896 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,320 Speaker 4: particle level, it's kind of deterministic at a medium range level, 897 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 4: but then as you get to larger and larger systems, 898 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 4: then it's chaotic and it's practically unpredictable. 899 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly right. So any answer you want there's 900 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:02,839 Speaker 1: some place in the universe. 901 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 4: Is yeah, I just pick a random, random answer and 902 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 4: it will be. 903 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,239 Speaker 1: So maybe that's why people answered it's such a such 904 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,919 Speaker 1: streams of gibberish to our question, because because they really 905 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 1: deeply understood that the universe was both random and chaotic. 906 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 4: Wow, wisdom of the crowd. 907 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,360 Speaker 1: Wisdom of the crowd. Exactly, you average over ten random 908 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: people and there is some insight. Yeah, exactly. That's the 909 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 1: whole that's the whole problem. 910 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 4: The answer is the answer is yes. 911 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 1: So I think it's it's fun to think about that 912 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: in ste of the larger context. You know, like we 913 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,839 Speaker 1: started off thinking the universe was crazy, then we started 914 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,719 Speaker 1: to get some grips on it. Then we felt like, oh, 915 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: maybe the universe is sort of too tight a grip 916 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 1: on us because it seems deterministic, and they we've got 917 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 1: this crack thanks to quantum mechanics that says it's random. 918 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: But I don't really know how comfortable people are with 919 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 1: that crack, you know, to think that the universe doesn't 920 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,839 Speaker 1: know what it's going to do at any moment, like 921 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 1: they could do this, it could do that. That's sort 922 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 1: of terrifying. I stand Einstein's fear. That Einstein's dislike or 923 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 1: disdain for that, and that leaves us in a sort 924 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: of uncomfortable position. 925 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,399 Speaker 4: And it might get even crazier, right, Like, let's say 926 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 4: that we build quantum computers and then there's AI based 927 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 4: on quantum computers. That that would be even crazier. 928 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I'd love to read that science fiction novel 929 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: that's that's how AI develops free will, Right. 930 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 4: Quantum computers maybe more than us, That's exactly right. All right, Well, 931 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 4: thank you for joining us. I hope that didn't seem 932 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 4: like a random, random or chaotic discussion. 933 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,320 Speaker 1: But those are really fun topics. I think it's super 934 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 1: fun to try to wrap your mind around those things. 935 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,720 Speaker 1: And you know, one of the basic questions of physics 936 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 1: is not just what is the world made out or 937 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,880 Speaker 1: what are the bits and pieces? But like what are 938 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 1: the rules? And are there rules? And and you know, 939 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 1: can we ever understand it? To me, that's one of 940 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: the deepest questions of science, and this goes right to 941 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 1: the heart of it. 942 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,120 Speaker 4: So if you're a butterfly out there, keep on flam exactly. 943 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 1: If you still have a question after listening to all 944 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 1: these explanations, please drop us a line.
