George Musser

George Musser, a science journalist with a focus on physics and cosmology, dives into the intriguing concept of entropic gravity. He discusses how gravity might stem from the universe's tendency toward disorder, challenging traditional views from Newton to Einstein. Musser explores the relationship between quantum information and gravitational attraction, examining how mass interacts with qubits. The conversation also touches on emergent space-time, dark matter, and the compelling links between gravity, entropy, and the fabric of reality.

George Musser, an award-winning journalist and author, joins Susan Schneider, a philosophy professor and director at the Center for the Future Mind, to explore the deep nuances of consciousness and free will. They dive into the relationship between consciousness and quantum mechanics, pondering if our minds shape reality. With discussions on wave function collapse and the implications of AI, they illuminate how thoughts may influence matter. Plus, they challenge the deterministic view of the universe, suggesting a compatible existence of free will in our choices.

George Musser, veteran science writer, discusses the connections between artificial intelligence, quantum physics, and the quest to understand consciousness. The podcast explores the challenges of comprehending consciousness, the intersection of AI, quantum physics, and consciousness, and the possibility of simulating consciousness in AI systems. It also touches on the influence of observation on particle properties, the limitations of consciousness, and the potential partnership between humans and AI.
