That's how much information is contained in a balloon that the molecules cannot be digitized correctly. So i don't think we are in a digital computer and somebody pushes the play button,. Here we are dancing, thinking that we have free will, when actually somebody hit the play button
Synthesizing relativity and quantum theory would be the crowning achievement of science, a profound merging of all the forces of nature into one beautiful, magnificent equation to unlock the deepest mysteries in science. In this episode, Michael Shermer speaks with professor of theoretical physics Michio Kaku about: the Big Bang, black holes, worm holes, the multiverse, time travel, dark energy and dark matter, gravity, string theory, ETIs, meaning, and God.
