      Lex Fridman - What, if any, AI system have you used in your daily life to learn? I’ve heard of different algorithms- such as python. Are they only for computers or have we achieved a new level of chi to connect “wirelessly” ... #chakra-training #ac/dc #twin flame

      @@ZeroOskul , Your question is very hard to answer in the way you have asked it, because the list you gave are completely unrelated things. What does a bows einstein condensate and have to do with gravity? Very little to nothing! And Einstein debunk string theory. Einstein spent much of his life trying to come up with a unified theory, something like string theory, but eventually he ran into problems that could not be solved. String theory is a separate but likely parallel model to the things you have listed; and each item in the list you made has its own strengths and weaknesses. put your list makes no sense it's just a random collection of scientific terms you're trying to make sound like thing. None of them are complete models for theory of gravity or a theory of everything.

      @@simonclarent3742 Careful, your inferiority complex is showing. I think if these talks do anything it's simply prove that these people are not special at all and anyone can do what they do if they just have the interest and motivation. The only person I've heard on these podcasts so far that has been on an other level was Joscha Bach, all the rest have not only shown that they're basic humans but deeply flawed humans that are no different from anyone else. I appreciate their work and contribution and everything, but no more or less than the plumber. The way you're deifying them and trying to raise yourself to the pedestal you've put them on by putting others down shows clearly that you don't feel like you'll ever measure up. If you manage to change your perspective one day you'll see these talks as inspiring because it shows that you too can do this because they show that no special intelligence or super human ability is required. Now answer this, can you even afford a plumber?

      THE ULTIMATE UNDERSTANDING OF SPACE AS ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE):
      A PHOTON may be placed at the center of THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), as the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the SPEED OF LIGHT; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. The ability of THOUGHT to DESCRIBE OR RECONFIGURE sensory experience is ULTIMATELY dependent upon the extent to which THOUGHT IS SIMILAR TO sensory experience. THOUGHTS ARE INVISIBLE. E=mc2 is DIRECTLY AND FUNDAMENTALLY DERIVED FROM F=ma. F=ma AND E=mc2 PROVE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY, AS ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE). This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND describes what is possible/potential AND ACTUAL IN BALANCE. Indeed, energy has/involves GRAVITY; AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent WITH/AS what is BALANCED ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL FORCE/ENERGY, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ACCORDINGLY, gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. SO, GRAVITATIONAL FORCE/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. THEREFORE, "mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. It ALL makes perfect sense. GREAT !!!!!
      Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ACCORDINGLY, a given PLANET (INCLUDING WHAT IS THE EARTH) sweeps out equal areas in equal times; AND this is THEN consistent WITH/AS F=ma, E=mc2, AND WHAT IS PERPETUAL MOTION; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ACCORDINGLY, the rotation of the Moon MATCHES it's revolution. It is PROVEN.
      It ALL makes perfect sense. Therefore, objects fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course); AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY.
      Very importantly outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is FULLY INVISIBLE AND black.
      Get a good LOOK at what is THE EYE. NOW, the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. GREAT. GRAVITATIONAL FORCE/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. This ALSO explains the supergiant stars, the cosmological redshift, AND the black hole(s). "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. It ALL makes perfect sense. MAGNIFICENT !!! F=ma AND E=mc2 PROVE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. GREAT. Points are POINTS. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. THINK about it ALL. Beautiful.

Like a fresh cool breeze over my brain whenever I get the chance to listen to him. And great work interviewing him, calm collected and prepared.

    @lettucefieldtheorist 4 года назад +2

    You were talking about different things in the end. Lex asked about the photograph of a black hole, Leonard talked about the LIGO gravitational wave experiment. Of course, both are incredible scientific accomplishments in my opinion.
    In any case, I really enjoyed this interview. Thanks for your incredible work, keep it up!

      Addiction often comes from something on the inside and you might find yourself addicted to something else soon enough. Don't fool yourself that being addicted to something "positive" like doing your job or studying/working with mathematics or physics is a good thing. It really isn't.

    • @spiralofinspiration3653

      @@Bollibompa shut up. Do you think Susskind, Reimann, Einstein, etc. became who they were because they just dabbled? Or do you think they were addicted?

    This is beautiful.

    What I love most about highly intelligent people like Leonard is their humility. The more they know the more they realize they do not know. He's the father of string theory and yet says "I'm not a very good mathematician". This is my favorite trait in curious and brilliant people. It really sets them apart from the average cocksure, arrogant person. Beautiful.
