#433 – Sara Walker: Physics of Life, Time, Complexity, and Aliens
Lex Fridman Podcast
Technosphere as the larger object in time
The modern technosphere is considered the largest object in time in the universe, representing the global integration of life and technology on Earth. The integration between life and technology suggests a continuous bifurcation of time generating new structures. Individuals who have diverged recently in history can understand each other well due to their close proximity in time. The concept of phylogeny further emphasizes the interconnectedness of all entities over time. The idea that all causation is bundled up in the present objects challenges the conventional understanding of time and structure. Humans, being large entities, have the ability to abstract and visualize a vast space in time. The interconnection and exchange of parts among lineages highlight the collective nature of life rather than individuality. Life is perceived as high dimensional, where certain aspects can be lifelike, but they are merely fragments of a much larger object encompassing deep and complex structures.
