Episode notes

Yara: So it seems like you're slowly getting more scientists working on the theory. Are you actively recruiting scientists to work on constructed theory? Yara: Yes, so I think there are certainly all sorts of open problems that both David and I and these other, Blatko and other people have found as we were trying to apply constructed theory to various things. These open problems are just waiting for someone who is interested in them to address them. It's a question of depends on how much money I have available but let's say for ideally having infinitely many resources, they are very happy to have more collaborators.

I interview Oxford physicist Chiara Marletto, who has been working on constructor theory for several years. She's published papers on its applications to various fields, including those of information, thermodynamics, life, and probability. We discuss the origins and motivations of constructor theory, problems the theory may solve, current research programs, the universal constructor, response to potential criticisms, why constructor theory can explain more of Reality than the prevailing conception, and more.
