This was difficult at first but once I got accustomed to Mr. Palmer's speaking mannerisms it was really quite fascinating. By the end I wanted to hear more.

Great lecture, but Palmer may have been in error about a point of history: it wasn't Newton but Kepler who discovered that planetary orbits are elliptical.
Great talk! So much to think about here. The connection with P-adic numbers was fascinating. Have you considered where something like the reiman-zeta function or the central limit theorem, which are both intimately related to primes and large scales of reference, might be connected to something like chaos theory?

Chaos theory and geometry are fascinating fields that, together, can provide profound insights into understanding the complexities of the natural world. Chaos theory, a branch of mathematics, deals with systems that appear to be disordered or random but are actually governed by deterministic laws. These systems are highly sensitive to initial conditions a property known as the "butterfly effect." This means that even tiny changes in the starting point of a system can lead to vastly different outcomes over time, making long-term prediction extremely difficult. Geometry, on the other hand, provides a mathematical framework to study the shapes, spaces, and structures that form the basis of many natural and physical systems. In chaos theory, concepts like fractals and strange attractors use geometric structures to illustrate how chaotic systems behave. These geometric patterns reveal that even in seemingly unpredictable environments, there are underlying structures and rules that govern the behavior of the system. While chaos theory and geometry cannot predict the future with absolute certainty due to their sensitivity to initial conditions, they can help us understand the underlying principles and patterns that drive complex systems. For example, weather forecasting uses chaotic models to predict short-term weather patterns, and in physics, chaos theory can explain phenomena in fluid dynamics, planetary orbits, and even some aspects of biological systems. However, when it comes to long-term predictions, chaos theory shows that even small errors in measurement can compound and lead to unpredictable outcomes, limiting our ability to make precise forecasts over extended periods. Geometry can aid in visualizing and interpreting these chaotic behaviors, helping scientists identify recurring patterns and the geometric properties that underpin complex phenomena. In essence, while chaos theory and geometry don't provide us with crystal-clear predictions of how the world will behave in the future, they allow us to gain a deeper understanding of the rules and structures that govern complex systems. This knowledge can lead to better models and strategies for dealing with unpredictable phenomena in fields like meteorology, ecology, economics, and more, offering insights that help us navigate the uncertainties of our world.

Correct. I work in 3D animation, and at a certain point you realize anything can be parameterized, in essence each parameter is a dimension. Points of an object can be defined in XYZ space, which is the 3D we're familiar with, but a point can also contain color data, velocity, spin, etc. Color itself can be separated into many different dimensions depending on how you want to define it. It can be RGB, CMYK, LAB, etc. There are many dimensions within dimensions.
Yes, big picture thinking! My idea is that reality is all possible combinations, with each pattern being a single awareness (timeline), so each of us is an individual universe unto ourselves, while also branching and interconnecting with one another in an expanded Pascal's triangle (Galton board) type fabric. It's deterministic randomness (pure entropy), and definitely fractal. I shared this idea with Stephen Wolfram and he ran with it as his recent new physics model. One thing to note is that because there is BOTH branching and reconnecting (see: a family tree where babies are produced and then grow up to mate with one another from nearby lineages) there is BOTH expansion of the number of individuals/universes in the whole multiverse, and there is contraction of those things into the larger volume. This is the fractal ability to fully contain a fixed amount of matter~energy that never gets destroyed nor added to while also adding more and more stuff infinitely into the future. This explains why we keep finding smaller and smaller "smallest parts" of the universe. It's not because we're just "better" at looking closely, but because reality is fractal, so the closer we look, the smaller the "smallest part" we can observe literally is. But ultimately there is no smallest part. Reality is expanding into the details or fractions of space~time, just like how we can zoom into the mandlebrot set and continue seeing infinitely new patterns. So, rather than increasing entropy leading to some sort of boring (low entropy) "heat death", at least on a multiversal level, it leads to infinite life, expanding in complexity, creativity, and effectiveness at finding better and better collaborators to procreate with, genetically and memetically and whatever -etically there might be. The "heat death" is just local death of individuals physically dividing up. But those parts go on to continue to make ever more interesting sets of new individuals Entropy and a fractal reality of deterministic randomness means that there's no real death for any of the matter and energy of reality, only infinite natural selection and random mutation of patterns of all types.
Surely we should consider in Bell experiments that when there are entangled particles there is one pair at one beam splitter and another pair at another beam splitter. You have actually selected out pairs of particles that only have the characteristics of seeming entangled. One possibility for that is if there is a transverse random walk element taking each particle on a path slightly offbeam and only those appearing to have related characteristics get measured then go slightly offbeam to the next beam splitter or detector and are not selected there but another pair is.
Not a math dude, but it should be possible to influence a system in state space to control the direction of the system, so we could perhaps learn to control even extremely complicated chaotic systems by detecting, observing and nudging the system in state space.

I prefer to explain the difference between weather and climate as the difference between predicting dice rolls vs the how likely a die combo roll is. ie Roll 1d6= >17% of 1-6. For 2d6 2s and 12s are unlikely and 7s are more likely but less than 50% likely.
You have to analyze five dimensions to work wirh Derivatives: Actual Price, Strike Price, Time to Delivery, Volatility of the Ative and Interest Rate. ( Black and Scholes Formula )
I think the world is still deterministic, for the fact small changes too occur, following laws of physics, changing the whole products...but I think, our inability to calculate small changes, doesn't means it is not deterministic.
6:15 It was Kepler, not Newton, who discovered the elliptical orbit of a planet (Mars). In 1609 he published Astronomia Nova, delineating his discoveries, which are now called Kepler's first two laws of planetary motion.
Tycho Brahe Danish Astronomer 1542 1601 who recorded the planetary orbits and gave this data to Kepler. Kepler then used it to work out Kepler's laws. Which after analysis of Kepler's laws then Newton discovered the Calculus..also I suspect this focused Newton's intellect on Gsluleo and Gravity.....Newton.1642 1727
@@0.618-0 True. Tycho Brahe was meticulous in how he collated his astronomical measurements and data. He didn't see or was concerned with the elliptical patterns in the planetary orbits. You can also go back to the ancient Greek Astronomers - although they didn't use ellipses to describe the orbits of the 5 planets they knew about, they were aware that these orbits were not precise circular orbits. The AntiKythera Mechanism which is the worlds first known analog computer used epi-circles and other techniques to compensate for these non-circular orbits. In reality the orbits of most planets in our Solar System are very close to circular, with eccentricities of near zero. The eccentricity of the Earth's orbit is about 0.0167 for example. Mercury has the most eccentric orbit of any planet in our solar system (~0.2) Newton was co-inventor of Calculus. We must never forget the great Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
58:14 I wonder if the simulation would have been different, perhaps less dramatic, if the floating point approximation was better - higher resolution ?
The more precisely you can locate the starting points of the masses, the longer you can make the "stable" orbits last. But you can't avoid the chaotic result - even a difference in the 30th decimal place will eventually manifest itself, although you might get bored waiting for it. Eventually, the Planck length puts a limit on your ability to make finer and finer tweaks to the starting configuration. (Does that "connect" chaos and quantum physics? 🤔) ETA: Mathematically, there are stable solutions to the 3-body problem, but no solutions for 4 bodies. Google "3-body problem" + "figure 8" if you want to go down that particular rabbit hole.
What is the reason for the difference in statistics between classical and quantum cases? (2 vs > 2) 48:33 I mean, why are experimenters somehow limited in their measurement choices in the quantum case, but not in the classical? A measurement outcome clearly depends on the past light cone in both cases.
RI talks usually have clear, crisp audio, even when the recording is quite old. Unfortunately, they seem to have been having trouble this time around. I found that the background crackle and muddiness made it very difficult to figure out what the speaker was saying. (That said, I have known audio processing issues.)
starting from the quantum scale it is impossible to predict the future due to all prior interactions lead to the next set of possibilities and its never repeating. To make it repeat you'd have to set up every single quanta as it was to make the "same" thing happen again.
I’m amazed at how accurate the weather forecasting has become here in the NW of the US. All the weather comes in off the Pacific Ocean. Very changeable. Used to be 50/50. Now much better. Better understanding of chaos?
Cantor's set is a shuffle.? (taking triplets (three notes divided over the duration of one beat) and not playing the second triplet. 1(rest) 3, 1(rest) 3..)
Enjoyed the lecture - however I didn't get the Bell experiment results part (at about the 46 minute mark) I thought that entanglement would mean (like he mentioned with the Red and Blue balls earlier in the talk) that if 0 (or one type of spin) was at the first experimenter - the other could be predicted to be the other ie. 1 (a opposite spin) ?
This was the least well described part of his talk. But there are two things to keep in mind. 1. It's a big bunch (ensemble) of particles coming at each detector and Bob and Alice don't talk to each other, so they can't tell each other "I just saw an '1' so you should have detected a '0'. They simply record what they measure, and after the experiment is finished the correlations are calculated. 2. Each detector only detects either a '1' or a '0' particle, depending on which detector they chose that day determines which particles they see. This is my understanding, perhaps wrong, but it would be good to get better explanation. I think Sabine Hossenfelder has good explanations on youtube.
14:23 I feel like you could actually have X=TrouserLength, Y=ColourSpectrum, Z=Width and one could denote and visualise even, the particular ratio of, say Cotton:Polyester by creating a second X and Y Axis (call them X1, X2 and Y1, Y2). - By plotting the first 3 parameters using the X1, Y1 and Z Axis; this would result in the graph he displayed. However you could then use X2 and Y2 to plot the Cotton:Polyester ratio. One could then take the first plot point (P1) and then use the second plot point (P2); for simplicity let’s say the graph starts at X=0, Y=0 and Z=0. You then graph a curved line from 0 on all Axis’s to P2 and from P2 to P1. The Z Axis would remain as Z=0 for P2. I Posit that the graph which I have (hopefully clearly) outlined would allow one to successfully create the graph which he said you can’t do, would in fact allow us to graph 4 parameters and graph them. I personally think that he is conflating the idea of Axis’s with Dimensions. Can somebody who is a Mathematician, Physicist or I suppose anyone who knows these things better than myself (I have studied these topics out of curiosity, but I don’t have a degree or care for one quite honestly; I simply love to understand) please give me your thoughts on my suggestion. I would love to know if you agree and if not; why do you disagree or why am I mistaken? I’d really appreciate it. Thank you 🙏🏻 P.S - He has rather masterfully demonstrated Chaos by the very nature of this presentation itself.
I mean, he's wrong in the sense that we technically do have visualizations of hypercubes (4d surfaces). The problem isn't that it's impossible, but that you lose an immense amount of information. Even plotting 3 dimensions on a flat, 2d screen, you lose a lot of information. Imagine how much you're not seeing because it's going from 4d to 2d.
I like both the ideas presented in the lecture. Spooky action in distance and one of tbe strong view point to explaining orr rather refusal to explanation is to accept it as it is. For thise who are either not interested in physics or dont have means to understand it, it leads to mysticism and metaphysical (which ends in out of date concept of religion and all that comes with it). The "big picture" idea can truly revolutionize lot of fiels, human immune system understanding for example where it is quitr very well understood why a particular cell "behaves" in one manner but not when they are more than few. Really great talk.

There is no connection between fractals and Riemann hypothesis. Don’t get carried way by name dropping done during this talk a lot of it is totally random no pun intended.
@@paulhofmann3798 Maybe OP was just name-dropping fractals and the Riemann hypothesis because they're popular math topics, but your comment reads as silly and condescending to anyone with even a passing passion for math. Since when are functions (and hypotheses about functions) unrelated to fractals and dynamic systems? Claiming that two things in math are unconnected is just a strange thing to do. It took me LESS than a minute to find a paper expressing the relations between the zeta function and fractals. Google "Fractal Geography of the Riemann Zeta and Related Functions Chris King"
A measurement involves a phase transition where the macroscopic pointer variable of the apparatus goes from the initial metastable state to one of the stable states. Not doing an experiment means that nothing happens. Counterfactuals do not make sense. Getting the whole universe in the argumenting, means that they don't have any clue.
It’s a mid/side geometric transformation from 2D to 4D. No 3D interaction. We use this in audio for printing vinyl records. The needle will skip out of the ‘sides’ if there is too much Low End. The Low end is moved into the ‘depth’. Not unlike magnetic dipole, the ‘sides’ are stereophonic and the mid remains monophonic X+Y = M. correlated information X-Y= S. Uncorrelated information This becomes the bell curve of mid/side probabilities. S + M +(-)S as dual’ correlated pathways. fractal form. (As above, So below) As a convention (like the direction electrical current travels) we have to choose… Inside out to outside in (3D) or (4D) Outside in to inside out (4D) or (3D) Which one we choose alters the use case of the fractal geometry. And thus, we begin to understand the ‘musical’ organizational principle of the cosmology. Because it is scalular (not scalar) in nature.
Not unlike a Shakespearean Sonnet, 1/phi. Or phi/1 is determinative of harmonic separation. It’s a rocking motion, plank scale. And depending on which ‘side’ we are traveling (to or from) we get different harmonic separation. And we cannot move without affecting both paths of correlation. (Because there are dual correlated path ways). This is why we perceive the dual paths as monophonic. Therefore, we do not have a ‘direct’ 4D perspective we only the impression of or an ‘indirect’ perspective on 4D. Because there is no ‘space’ stored energetically in a dimensional version of the past as it defies conservation of energy. Instead, there are spatial ‘sides’ and mids. And the here and now is constantly transforming from stereographic (rotation) into mid/side and back again to maintain the illusion of electrical paradox.
We are constantly measuring/calculating things in 2D from the ‘side’, so we do not ‘see’ the change in stereo PAN LAW. We are not measuring the change in ‘depth’ between the Mid and the sides. Because in a dual correlated system the ‘volume’ or magnitude of the mid and side can change independently between the two without changing the FRACTAL relationship because the fractal Does not care about ‘SIZE’ or depth, but Harmonics DO. All this to suggest that Polarization is the result of being able to ‘HEAR’ the difference, either by lower the mids or elevating the ‘sides’.
Energy as plasma has five fundamental nodes, it can be stored compressed in a fractal space when space is deformed...there are sets of geometries for classes of archaic black holes, they could be dark matter. once an event occurs, they might exlode... or explode and persist...
Watching the 4-body system blow up makes me wonder how stable the solar system is! Obviously the planets get more than five trips around the sun, but if we waited ten or twenty billion years (longer than the sun will actually last), would one of the smaller planets eventually be ejected?

Its fascinating how similar chaos theory appears to the language of the philosophical system of dialectical materialism. I always thought that dialectical materialism could be used to unify the modern sciences. I feel as though this smart man has gotten miles ahead of me on this idea
This presentations was all over the place. As someone who has little to do with this field I found it really hard to follow. Maybe I just got way too used to how easy the usual RI presentation are to follow.
Relativity and unitarity (Everett interpretation) doesn't forbid it, they are deterministic. Sweet. Wonder about his view on quantum mechanics now though to see if he's consistent...
Geometry of Chaos at first sight appear a repeated module or a pattern. Lorenz attacter make the predictive pattern. Bell's theorem and a pattern in correlation naturally bring the subject towards future of physics. Uniform field near earth or heavenly body always sense a charge of G . G is geometry of chaos or stochastic or a pattern in randomness. A riddle that flipped between Einstein and Newton now need a third leap like third reference or party of Bell's. A quality lecturer makes me satisfied with few new results into gravity . Sir Penrose namaste from me to all of you & 2020.
So either nature/the universe is ordered to what we can only define as chaos, or there is simply no necessary order to the universe and there is only chaos... OR, there's a supernatural state of existence which interacts with and within the natural world, space-time, causality, whatever you like.
As attractive as order has been for human development, including our current understanding, thus far, of the universe, it appears that the greater our reliance on systems of order the more vulnerable we become to random interference.
At the end he suggests that measurements result from the “geometry as a whole”. This sure sounds like the “spooky action at a distance” (non-locality) that he rejects at the start.
Bell experiment was about proving ER VS EPR. locality and hidden variables. Hidden variables may exist but the notion he was on about is that fractal sets somehow interfere with locality and Bells experiment only proove what Penrose states, that quantum mechanics is lacking an insight just like the one GR brought to Newtonian gravity....
ok, what´s your qualificaton, to prove a professor of math and Nobel-winner wrong? Bell-like tests prove locality vs. nonlocality, hidden varialbles are nessecary in a local model. They do all that under the assumption of statistical independence.
Chaos hosts patterns too broad to perceive, but may be found with my collection of novel primes in an Excel file called The Box, containing the first 150 elements.
Without a fairly strong background in math and Chaos Theory I would be lost here, as I'm sure most of the audience is. The presentation jumps around; lacks continuity and coherence. I would give most of the RI presentations A's and B+'s. I'd be generous to give this one a C.
I agree! He fails to explain Bell’s inequality before then failing to show step by step how a counterfactual not existing on a line disproves it, he just asserts that it does 🤦🏻♂️ I’m sure there’s a really interesting logical argument for his position but he hasn’t shown his reasoning 😢
Lol nobody thinks diffusion is a "spooky action at a distance", yet, according to how you define "information" in the good ol' diffusion, you get infinite speeds (since diffusion is linear, it looks like every point affects every other points at a distance, but the truth is the "would-be information that about to come in the future" is already constructed in the locality by the previous local interactions). Hence Einstein is right.
One tip for Tim. Do not say 'things are very simple' and then complain something complex. That makes students that do not grasp it first time around detach from the entire lecture.

I prefer to explain the difference between weather and climate as the difference between predicting dice rolls vs the how likely a die combo roll is. ie Roll 1d6= >17% of 1-6. For 2d6 2s and 12s are unlikely and 7s are more likely but less than 50% likely.
You have to analyze five dimensions to work wirh Derivatives: Actual Price, Strike Price, Time to Delivery, Volatility of the Ative and Interest Rate. ( Black and Scholes Formula )
I think the world is still deterministic, for the fact small changes too occur, following laws of physics, changing the whole products...but I think, our inability to calculate small changes, doesn't means it is not deterministic.

It was Kepler, not Newton, who discovered the elliptical orbit of a planet (Mars).
In 1609 he published Astronomia Nova, delineating his discoveries, which are now called Kepler's first two laws of planetary motion.
Tycho Brahe Danish Astronomer 1542 1601 who recorded the planetary orbits and gave this data to Kepler. Kepler then used it to work out Kepler's laws. Which after analysis of Kepler's laws then Newton discovered the Calculus..also I suspect this focused Newton's intellect on Gsluleo and Gravity.....Newton.1642 1727
@@0.618-0 True. Tycho Brahe was meticulous in how he collated his astronomical measurements and data. He didn't see or was concerned with the elliptical patterns in the planetary orbits.
You can also go back to the ancient Greek Astronomers - although they didn't use ellipses to describe the orbits of the 5 planets they knew about, they were aware that these orbits were not precise circular orbits. The AntiKythera Mechanism which is the worlds first known analog computer used epi-circles and other techniques to compensate for these non-circular orbits.
In reality the orbits of most planets in our Solar System are very close to circular, with eccentricities of near zero. The eccentricity of the Earth's orbit is about 0.0167 for example. Mercury has the most eccentric orbit of any planet in our solar system (~0.2)
Newton was co-inventor of Calculus.
We must never forget the great Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
yes indeed.
58:14 I wonder if the simulation would have been different, perhaps less dramatic, if the floating point approximation was better - higher resolution ?
The more precisely you can locate the starting points of the masses, the longer you can make the "stable" orbits last. But you can't avoid the chaotic result - even a difference in the 30th decimal place will eventually manifest itself, although you might get bored waiting for it. Eventually, the Planck length puts a limit on your ability to make finer and finer tweaks to the starting configuration. (Does that "connect" chaos and quantum physics? 🤔)
ETA: Mathematically, there are stable solutions to the 3-body problem, but no solutions for 4 bodies. Google "3-body problem" + "figure 8" if you want to go down that particular rabbit hole.
Great lecture
Many thoughts arising from this!
What is the reason for the difference in statistics between classical and quantum cases? (2 vs > 2) 48:33 I mean, why are experimenters somehow limited in their measurement choices in the quantum case, but not in the classical? A measurement outcome clearly depends on the past light cone in both cases.
Classical vs quantum light cone ... quantum optics is higher up.
RI talks usually have clear, crisp audio, even when the recording is quite old. Unfortunately, they seem to have been having trouble this time around. I found that the background crackle and muddiness made it very difficult to figure out what the speaker was saying. (That said, I have known audio processing issues.)
thank you for the video
starting from the quantum scale it is impossible to predict the future due to all prior interactions lead to the next set of possibilities and its never repeating. To make it repeat you'd have to set up every single quanta as it was to make the "same" thing happen again.
What matters is past light cone.

I’m amazed at how accurate the weather forecasting has become here in the NW of the US. All the weather comes in off the Pacific Ocean. Very changeable. Used to be 50/50. Now much better. Better understanding of chaos?
Ensembles
Cantor's set is a shuffle.? (taking triplets (three notes divided over the duration of one beat) and not playing the second triplet. 1(rest) 3, 1(rest) 3..)
Enjoyed the lecture - however I didn't get the Bell experiment results part (at about the 46 minute mark) I thought that entanglement would mean (like he mentioned with the Red and Blue balls earlier in the talk) that if 0 (or one type of spin) was at the first experimenter - the other could be predicted to be the other ie. 1 (a opposite spin) ?
This was the least well described part of his talk. But there are two things to keep in mind.
1. It's a big bunch (ensemble) of particles coming at each detector and Bob and Alice don't talk to each other, so they can't tell each other "I just saw an '1' so you should have detected a '0'. They simply record what they measure, and after the experiment is finished the correlations are calculated.
2. Each detector only detects either a '1' or a '0' particle, depending on which detector they chose that day determines which particles they see.
This is my understanding, perhaps wrong, but it would be good to get better explanation. I think Sabine Hossenfelder has good explanations on youtube.
14:23 I feel like you could actually have X=TrouserLength, Y=ColourSpectrum, Z=Width and one could denote and visualise even, the particular ratio of, say Cotton:Polyester by creating a second X and Y Axis (call them X1, X2 and Y1, Y2). - By plotting the first 3 parameters using the X1, Y1 and Z Axis; this would result in the graph he displayed. However you could then use X2 and Y2 to plot the Cotton:Polyester ratio. One could then take the first plot point (P1) and then use the second plot point (P2); for simplicity let’s say the graph starts at X=0, Y=0 and Z=0. You then graph a curved line from 0 on all Axis’s to P2 and from P2 to P1. The Z Axis would remain as Z=0 for P2. I Posit that the graph which I have (hopefully clearly) outlined would allow one to successfully create the graph which he said you can’t do, would in fact allow us to graph 4 parameters and graph them. I personally think that he is conflating the idea of Axis’s with Dimensions. Can somebody who is a Mathematician, Physicist or I suppose anyone who knows these things better than myself (I have studied these topics out of curiosity, but I don’t have a degree or care for one quite honestly; I simply love to understand) please give me your thoughts on my suggestion. I would love to know if you agree and if not; why do you disagree or why am I mistaken? I’d really appreciate it. Thank you 🙏🏻
P.S - He has rather masterfully demonstrated Chaos by the very nature of this presentation itself.
I mean, he's wrong in the sense that we technically do have visualizations of hypercubes (4d surfaces). The problem isn't that it's impossible, but that you lose an immense amount of information. Even plotting 3 dimensions on a flat, 2d screen, you lose a lot of information. Imagine how much you're not seeing because it's going from 4d to 2d.
I like both the ideas presented in the lecture.
Spooky action in distance and one of tbe strong view point to explaining orr rather refusal to explanation is to accept it as it is. For thise who are either not interested in physics or dont have means to understand it, it leads to mysticism and metaphysical (which ends in out of date concept of religion and all that comes with it).
The "big picture" idea can truly revolutionize lot of fiels, human immune system understanding for example where it is quitr very well understood why a particular cell "behaves" in one manner but not when they are more than few.
Really great talk.

this was a very interesting lecture ! I think fractals are also the key to solve the Riemann hypotesis
Why do you think that ?
There is no connection between fractals and Riemann hypothesis. Don’t get carried way by name dropping done during this talk a lot of it is totally random no pun intended.
@@paulhofmann3798 Maybe OP was just name-dropping fractals and the Riemann hypothesis because they're popular math topics, but your comment reads as silly and condescending to anyone with even a passing passion for math. Since when are functions (and hypotheses about functions) unrelated to fractals and dynamic systems? Claiming that two things in math are unconnected is just a strange thing to do.
It took me LESS than a minute to find a paper expressing the relations between the zeta function and fractals. Google "Fractal Geography of the Riemann Zeta and Related Functions Chris King"
A measurement involves a phase transition where the macroscopic pointer variable of the apparatus goes from the initial metastable state to one of the stable states. Not doing an experiment means that nothing happens. Counterfactuals do not make sense. Getting the whole universe in the argumenting, means that they don't have any clue.
At 49:50, would the second terms be wrt B in the equation at the bottom? I guess, it's a typo
It’s a mid/side geometric transformation from 2D to 4D. No 3D interaction. We use this in audio for printing vinyl records.
The needle will skip out of the ‘sides’ if there is too much Low End. The Low end is moved into the ‘depth’.
Not unlike magnetic dipole, the ‘sides’ are stereophonic and the mid remains monophonic
X+Y = M. correlated information
X-Y= S. Uncorrelated information
This becomes the bell curve of mid/side probabilities.
S + M +(-)S as dual’ correlated pathways.
fractal form. (As above, So below)
As a convention (like the direction electrical current travels) we have to choose…
Inside out to outside in (3D) or (4D)
Outside in to inside out (4D) or (3D)
Which one we choose alters the use case of the fractal geometry.
And thus, we begin to understand the ‘musical’ organizational principle of the cosmology. Because it is scalular (not scalar) in nature.
Not unlike a Shakespearean Sonnet, 1/phi. Or phi/1 is determinative of harmonic separation.
It’s a rocking motion, plank scale. And depending on which ‘side’ we are traveling (to or from) we get different harmonic separation. And we cannot move without affecting both paths of correlation. (Because there are dual correlated path ways).
This is why we perceive the dual paths as monophonic.
Therefore, we do not have a ‘direct’ 4D perspective we only the impression of or an ‘indirect’ perspective on 4D.
Because there is no ‘space’ stored energetically in a dimensional version of the past as it defies conservation of energy.
Instead, there are spatial ‘sides’ and mids. And the here and now is constantly transforming from stereographic (rotation) into mid/side and back again to maintain the illusion of electrical paradox.
We are constantly measuring/calculating things in 2D from the ‘side’, so we do not ‘see’ the change in stereo PAN LAW.
We are not measuring the change in ‘depth’ between the Mid and the sides. Because in a dual correlated system the ‘volume’ or magnitude of the mid and side can change independently between the two without changing the FRACTAL relationship because the fractal Does not care about ‘SIZE’ or depth, but Harmonics DO.
All this to suggest that Polarization is the result of being able to ‘HEAR’ the difference, either by lower the mids or elevating the ‘sides’.
What determines stereo pan law?
Balance, asymmetric balance.
Energy as plasma has five fundamental nodes, it can be stored compressed in a fractal space when space is deformed...there are sets of geometries for classes of archaic black holes, they could be dark matter. once an event occurs, they might exlode... or explode and persist...

Right, and he is with her about superdeterminism.😊
Gets to the VERY RARELY MENTIONED ASSUMPTION until 51:58. COULD have and SHOULD have stated it RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING.
Watching the 4-body system blow up makes me wonder how stable the solar system is! Obviously the planets get more than five trips around the sun, but if we waited ten or twenty billion years (longer than the sun will actually last), would one of the smaller planets eventually be ejected?
Perturbation is very difficult to predict but it is practically certain, especially as the sun changes density over time.
I mean, that's basically what comets are.

Amazing good luck whit your theory.
15:00 could you give an example how these equations apply to a real world system?
Yes. X, Y, Z usually stand for things like humidity, temperature, etc. They evolve according to the equations.
Its fascinating how similar chaos theory appears to the language of the philosophical system of dialectical materialism. I always thought that dialectical materialism could be used to unify the modern sciences. I feel as though this smart man has gotten miles ahead of me on this idea
Wow mind blowing didnt mention Bell's entanglement coming to 2.41
This presentations was all over the place. As someone who has little to do with this field I found it really hard to follow. Maybe I just got way too used to how easy the usual RI presentation are to follow.

Thank you, nya.
Relativity and unitarity (Everett interpretation) doesn't forbid it, they are deterministic. Sweet. Wonder about his view on quantum mechanics now though to see if he's consistent...
Geometry of Chaos at first sight appear a repeated module or a pattern. Lorenz attacter make the predictive pattern. Bell's theorem and a pattern in correlation naturally bring the subject towards future of physics. Uniform field near earth or heavenly body always sense a charge of G .
G is geometry of chaos or stochastic or a pattern in randomness. A riddle that flipped between Einstein and Newton now need a third leap like third reference or party of Bell's.
A quality lecturer makes me satisfied with few new results into gravity .
Sir Penrose namaste from me to all of you
& 2020.
So either nature/the universe is ordered to what we can only define as chaos, or there is simply no necessary order to the universe and there is only chaos... OR, there's a supernatural state of existence which interacts with and within the natural world, space-time, causality, whatever you like.
Great video, very informative. Thanks
As attractive as order has been for human development, including our current understanding, thus far, of the universe, it appears that the greater our reliance on systems of order the more vulnerable we become to random interference.
That's because we've mistaken systems of dis-order for system of order.
I loved it. I study chaos all the time
At the end he suggests that measurements result from the “geometry as a whole”. This sure sounds like the “spooky action at a distance” (non-locality) that he rejects at the start.
From the beginning wrong - bell experiment was about locality, not hidden variables
Bell experiment was about proving ER VS EPR. locality and hidden variables. Hidden variables may exist but the notion he was on about is that fractal sets somehow interfere with locality and Bells experiment only proove what Penrose states, that quantum mechanics is lacking an insight just like the one GR brought to Newtonian gravity....
ok, what´s your qualificaton, to prove a professor of math and Nobel-winner wrong? Bell-like tests prove locality vs. nonlocality, hidden varialbles are nessecary in a local model. They do all that under the assumption of statistical independence.

14:35 Finally got his first laugh out of the audience. I was honestly feeling bad for him because there had been no response before this
YAY!!!!!!!!!
Finally.....something to watch that isn't insulting to the intelligence.
Things are very much hidden in geometric
ever define 'attractor'?
Reminded me of the butterfly effect. The effect, not the movie, books etc.
The butterfly effect is the illustration of chaos.
Bohr was not Einstein's advocate. He was his adversary..
There is no something chaos, it is consciousness that chaos and order
Chaos hosts patterns too broad to perceive, but may be found with my collection of novel primes in an Excel file called The Box, containing the first 150 elements.
Without a fairly strong background in math and Chaos Theory I would be lost here, as I'm sure most of the audience is. The presentation jumps around; lacks continuity and coherence. I would give most of the RI presentations A's and B+'s. I'd be generous to give this one a C.
It is disorganised nonsense. I can explain this much better than he does.
I agree! He fails to explain Bell’s inequality before then failing to show step by step how a counterfactual not existing on a line disproves it, he just asserts that it does 🤦🏻♂️
I’m sure there’s a really interesting logical argument for his position but he hasn’t shown his reasoning 😢

Maybe he's demonstrating the chaos in chaotic; or, in studying chaos, his thinking is become nonlinear?
Lol nobody thinks diffusion is a "spooky action at a distance", yet, according to how you define "information" in the good ol' diffusion, you get infinite speeds (since diffusion is linear, it looks like every point affects every other points at a distance, but the truth is the "would-be information that about to come in the future" is already constructed in the locality by the previous local interactions). Hence Einstein is right.
One tip for Tim. Do not say 'things are very simple' and then complain something complex. That makes students that do not grasp it first time around detach from the entire lecture.
