Cognitive psychologist Dr. Donald Hoffman explores dynamic entities beyond spacetime, discussing Markovian dynamics, new mathematics in physics, non-real solutions to physical equations, and spiritual entities. They also delve into consciousness, portals into consciousness, math as a scaffold for understanding, and life as a fractal representation of the whole universe.
