Dynamic Entities Beyond Spacetime | Conscious Portals - Dr. Don Hoffman, UC Irvine, DSPod #215
The DemystifySci Podcast
The Implications of Local Realism and the Complex Universe of Conscious Agents
The chapter discusses the concept of local realism in physics and its implications. The speaker explains that local realism is the claim that particles have definite values of their properties when they are not observed, and that these properties have influences that propagate no faster than the speed of light through space time. However, the speaker argues that their theory is compatible with the idea that local realism is false. They propose a much more complicated universe of conscious agents outside of space time, which projects into space time and creates a simplified interface for us to interact with. This projection results in the loss of information and the reason why local realism is false. The speaker also compares space time to a user interface for a computer, where we interact with a simplified version of the complex technology behind it.
