DrBob, Neurologist, 🧠MechanicInteresting podcast if you want to keep up-to-date with the <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Physics</a> world (of which I’m a long term novice!)Most recent episode on the ‘Universal Connector’ with favorite <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/DavidDeutsch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidDeutsch</a>"Could we build a machine that can carry out any task? The meta-framework "Constructor Theory" suggests we might be able to make such a universal constructor. David Deutsch discusses the implications of such a machine for physics, for the economy, and for humans. Deutsch also talks about problems in funding for fundamental physics”<a href="https://vmst.io/tags/fqxi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fqxi</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/maxtegmark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maxtegmark</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Overcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Overcast</a> Link: <a href="https://overcast.fm/+Np9t58xg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://overcast.fm/+Np9t58xg</a><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Podcasts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Podcasts</a>: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fqxi-podcast/id523787376" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fqxi-podcast/id523787376</a>

DrBob, Neurologist, 🧠MechanicInfinity was not a popular concept back in the day 🤔 New ideas, even obvious ones, can be difficult to accept. “Cantor’s discoveries encountered vitriolic opposition among his contemporaries, including most mathematicians of the day and also many scientists, philosophers – and theologians. Religious objections, ironically, were in effect based on the Principle of Mediocrity.”<a href="https://vmst.io/tags/infinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infinity</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#religion</a> Excerpt From The Beginning of Infinity by <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/DavidDeutsch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidDeutsch</a> <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity</a>

DrBob, Neurologist, 🧠MechanicEvolution favors survival of the genes over survival of the fittest. “<a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Evolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Evolution</a> can even favour genes that are not just suboptimal, but wholly harmful to the species and all its individuals. A famous example is the peacock’s large, colourful tail, which is believed to diminish the bird’s viability by making it harder to evade predators, and to have no useful function at all.”The Beginning of <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Infinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Infinity</a> by <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/DavidDeutsch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidDeutsch</a>

DrBob, Neurologist, 🧠Mechanic“Science continues to make progress even, or especially, after making great discoveries, because the discoveries themselves reveal further problems. Therefore the existence of an unsolved problem in physics is no more evidence for a supernatural explanation than the existence of an unsolved crime is evidence that a ghost committed it.”Excerpt From The Beginning of <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Infinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Infinity</a> by <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/DavidDeutsch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidDeutsch</a>

DrBob, Neurologist, 🧠Mechanic“Our history and politics, our science, art and philosophy, our aspirations and moral values – all these are tiny side effects of a supernova explosion a few billion years ago, which could be extinguished tomorrow by another such explosion.”The Beginning of <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Infinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Infinity</a> by <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/DavidDeutsch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidDeutsch</a>

DrBob, Neurologist, 🧠Mechanic“Human attributes, like those of all other organisms, evolved under natural selection in an ancestral environment. That is why our senses are adapted to detecting things like the colours and smell of fruit, or the sound of a predator: being able to detect such things gave our ancestors a better chance of surviving to have offspring…evolution did not waste our resources on detecting phenomena that were never relevant to our survival”The Beginning of Infinity <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/DavidDeutsch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidDeutsch</a>

DrBob, Neurologist, 🧠Mechanic“We are an uncommon form of ordinary matter. The commonest form is plasma (atoms dissociated into their electrically charged components), which typically emits bright, visible light because it is in stars, which are rather hot. We scums are mainly infra-red emitters because we contain liquids and complex chemicals which can exist only at a much lower range of temperatures.”From: The Beginning of <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Infinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Infinity</a>: Explanations That Transform the World by <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/DavidDeutsch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidDeutsch</a>

As the physicist <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/StephenHawking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StephenHawking</a> put it, <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humans</a> are ‘just a chemical scum on the surface of a typical planet that’s in orbit round a typical star on the outskirts of a typical galaxy’.”‘The Beginning of Infinity’ by <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/DavidDeutsch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidDeutsch</a><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewBook?id=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewBook?id=0</a>
