I was saddened to discover that there's only 15 or so videos of David Deutsch on the internet. We need many more interviews and discussions from him, and we need them now!
Jack Darrow Ed Witten is a brilliant mind but he cannot convey it nearly as well as Prof. Deutsch. This might sound superficial but what use is all that understanding if we cannot transfer it from his skull to ours.
The scientific/philosophical community is divided in two categories : those who've read and understood Deutsch, and the sorry others. You can easily tell which is which, too.
I've read both books three times. The reason is that I keep encountering problems to which the books have solutions. The first read was too mindblowing to be fully grasped. Goddamn this man is creative, a treasure.
Constructor Theory is the most original idea in physics. A constructor is an agent that can cause a physical process ( physical transformation) to happen, for example a chemical catalyst, a heat engine, a piece of software program, a segment of DNA or a man/woman. A constructor ask this kind of question: what physical transformation is possible, what is not possible, where is the boundary. No need to mention scale ( microscopic or macroscopic), no need to talk about what substrate the constructor is build upon. The universe is unified in this sense.
I can sum this up! We want the how and why of nature not just the whats(math equations). So, David Deutsch is absolutely right. Hopefully this goal, new, isn't another Godel loop.
Well if his final conclusion is "infinity", he is just 50 years behind me. If he "begins to comprehend" now, my sincere congratulations. But that means he should be the first to explain why ONE divided ZERO or in symbols 1/0 is not "not defined" it is simply "infinite" and not computable. But it also means - we humans and every living creature is "infinite".
Not previously put in words, is that the quantum might be the intersection between matter and consciousness. A sort of boundary or field into the dimension of immaterial thoughts. Or the pool itself, where both originate from.
I think the video camera was making some sort of beeping noises. The first time, I think we hear the camera operator apologizing. The second time, Deutsch makes so statement about "muting it". That's my theory!
At 11: 50, a person-apparently female-shouted out a couple of sentences. Then a male voice-which sounded to me like that of David Wallace-apologized to David Deutsch by name. "Sorry David..etc etc."
Very simple: a woman was explaining how David Deutsch, H. Everett and Karl Popper suddenly emerged from a TARDIS that originated from one of the other many quantum worlds
Because it got precisely nowhere; nor could it, as it was at least one fundamental force short - the strong nuclear force (gluons) and the particles it binds - quarks. Permitting both protons and neutrons..

I am not convinced. In particular the bridge to biology, which he claims to be not derivable from classic physical theories is not at all likely. Listen to Jeremy England. He can tell you way more about that (Every life is on fire) In addition. Nima Arkani Hamed shows how weak Quantum Theory appears and how unreasonable virtual particles are and how important it's going to get to explain all interaction between particles without the invention of nonphysical things and time running backwards. The idea of constructor theory is not bad when you look at the fine-tuned universe. Yes, we can not derive by our existence that parameters had to be fine tuned as they are. A universe build upon those very parameters allows beings like we are not more and not less, but it is not build for us, we are build from it. This is a good approach in constructor theory. In addition constructor theory asks for a more holistic way to see the world. That's another good approach. It's a very bad approach to take the dead part and the living part of the universe as two different appearances. It's as stupid as to claim UV/IR physics are reconcilable observations. We do need a new approach how to explain the world. Very true. Whether constructor theory is the way to go, I question that.
He said that is imposible to exist a model to design the constructor theory ? Who is he to call it inposible ? If he can not see it or ca not find the logic to design it , it doesnt mean it doesnt exist .
In the context presented, there is not unity beyond the mere wish that there should be unity. Tests are continuing to ascertain the natural structure of the universe@@yonaoisme
I am a quantum physicist, and Deutsch's book, the beginning of infinity, has been the most important book that I have read in my life.
amirkhan355 I'm a locomotive engineer, and Deutsch's book, the Beginning of Infinity, has been the most important book that I have read in my life.
I'm a composer of classical music, and Deutsch's book, the Beginning of Infinity has been one of the most important books that I've read.
I'm a potato, and Deutsch's book, the beginning of infinity, has been the most important book that I have read in my life.
i havent read Deutsch's book.
I'm Deutch's book The Beginning of Infinity, this comment has been the most important thing I have read in my life
The most brilliant man alive !
Thank you so much for sharing this. Deutsch is criminally under appreciated .
perhaps underrated by the general public, but not the scientific community obviously :)
Hardly any person outside of science knows him. It's crazy considering he might be the only person to understand quantum theory.

Once every fifteen years, this man writes the best philosophy book ever written
Working on reading through his books. Truly heavy stuff. This man is way ahead of his time.
I've read both books three times. The reason is that I keep encountering problems to which the books have solutions.
The first read was too mindblowing to be fully grasped.
Goddamn this man is creative, a treasure.
This guy is a great communicator. He is a star !
The blah blah stops at 4:44.
Thanks.
Dr. Deutsch is brilliant.
This is, simply, phenomenal.
This has delightfully upset my prevailing conception! Ty!
Kinda sad how few views this excellent lecture has.
15:05 He was about to reveal the deepest secrets of the cosmos but the Universe started to become blurry and unstable so he decided against it.
Videographer: In future pls include the speaker's slides at every moment. Thanks in advance.
David for president of earth
Trump! Trump!
you haven't read any of his books, have you?
Excellent video, thanks for posting, much appreciated. New sub : )

It’s definitely a unity in nature mankind has a crumbling unity
I love Jackie Rogers Jr!
Not a surprise it’s incorporated into the organization of people. Regardless, it will always have its parts.
Well if his final conclusion is "infinity", he is just 50 years behind me. If he "begins to comprehend" now, my sincere congratulations. But that means he should be the first to explain why ONE divided ZERO or in symbols 1/0 is not "not defined" it is simply "infinite" and not computable. But it also means - we humans and every living creature is "infinite".
Let me know when he comes to the "end of infinity" and then I will explain to you why there is no end.
05:00
Uncertainty principle - constraint. Such and such actions are not possible
Catalyst, heat engine, computer - constructors, agents
that's *one* way of formulating the laws of physics.
Hiss!
On Solitary Fields
That Science cannot overtake
But Human Nature feels …
Not previously put in words, is that the quantum might be the intersection between matter and consciousness. A sort of boundary or field into the dimension of immaterial thoughts. Or the pool itself, where both originate from.
Nonsense. People do love to create their own do it yourself mysticism out of QM. You can't explain a mystery with another mystery.
Anyone know what happens at 11:50 and again at 15:10 - interruptions in the audience - but what?
I think the video camera was making some sort of beeping noises. The first time, I think we hear the camera operator apologizing. The second time, Deutsch makes so statement about "muting it". That's my theory!
My guess is it has to do with the camera operator - focus gets a bit wobbly at both points. Just a guess.
At 11: 50, a person-apparently female-shouted out a couple of sentences. Then a male voice-which sounded to me like that of David Wallace-apologized to David Deutsch by name. "Sorry David..etc etc."
@@aaronchristopher71 There is too much variability in your theory. Please try again.

great job! but why not give a shout out to Albert Einstein for his unified field work?
Because it got precisely nowhere; nor could it, as it was at least one fundamental force short - the strong nuclear force (gluons) and the particles it binds - quarks. Permitting both protons and neutrons..
his hair is blue.
What actually happens is emergent from what's possible and impossible. Sounds like markets
this is actually an amazingly profound comment
@@thomasseptimiusyou are joking, right?
