around 14:00 there's a distinction between the aesthetic property and the aesthetic sensibility of a person.
Farming didn’t come into India from Anatolia or the caucuses; it was started independently within India. The 2019 Reich study about the Harappan DNA supports this fact.
It's called the "Ganga" river, not "Ganges".
"What is physics for?" Really?
What is it for? Happy-juice for nerds?

Such important information! ❤
Looking forward to read her upcoming book: _Aesthetics and Glamour: A Philosophy of Allure and Human Beauty_ (2025?) *Overview* Glamour, unlike beauty, is a neglected quality, yet it is equally fascinating. As Carol Gould shows in this new book, if we explore it philosophically it opens up new ways of thinking about style, expressions of self and the extent that being glamorous informs our ethical judgments. Differentiating between true and false glamour, Gould defines false glamour as that quality produced with conscious intention, deliberate construction of a look to conform with a pre-conceived idea of how they desire to appear, as argued by Socrates and Aristotle who have wrestled with the idea of what it is to act intentionally. True glamour, on the other hand, comes in part from the unconscious, from the non-conscious self, it emanates from an internal way of being. Extending beyond the aesthetic properties of personhood, she explores in our ascription of glamour to nonhuman entities, such as a fragrance, cities and dress and examines how it is understood outside the West and used in social media. Peeling back the many layers comprising true glamour, this book allows us to glean insight into the aesthetics of human experience, exposing the range of the human aesthetic and revealing it to be much more expansive than we ever thought.

Mike, excellent. The 'consciousness is fundamental' aspect also is needed to explain the decades of parapsychology experiments (e.g. Dean Radin, Princeton PEAR) that exhibit non-locality. In the case of Radin his 'presentiment' series also shows retrocausality. Really appreciate your breakthrough work for advancing Orch OR.

Very interesting anecdote about Witten.
if you follow dna migration from ice ages, you can see the clear direction the languages follow
So many of my Pashtun relatives who have done their ancestry dna has south, south east Caucasus, and have dna relatives like myself have a strong marker and 3rd ,4rth cousins in UK and ireland. Though I know no relations in these places. Also in north Italy and Germany for me. I think we are somehow related especially to Celtic.
Newtonian dynamics should come with a warning when learning about it, but it doesn't. I remember dedicating myself back in high school so that I could take AP physics and calculus in my senior year, by actually taking 6 years of math in high school, 2 in college mostly A's. I went into that year as a total machine, I saw everything in the world as trigonometry and physics, I could do most of the math in my head, I was completely at the peak of Dunning-Krueger false confidence. When confronted with quantum mechanics and calculus I was rudely shoved over the edge of a cliff. I fell into a deep depression that senior year and failed those courses, I never really recovered.
Quantum mechanics is even more simple than Newtonian mechanics, we just don't teach it correctly. You are right about the need for a warning about Newtonian physics. It should come with a label that says "This is NOT how the world works, you have to learn it anyway!". ;-)
My favorite professor. She is so good at explaining and the fellow asking her is suitably ignorant. But what about time? Is it quantum , stokastic generated by gravity?
Prof TimMaud is my # 1 go to guy for ultimate reality questions. What’s time ? What’s space ? What is expansion ? He has answered so many questions for me through his hard work in the global scientific community’s. If there was a physics hall of fame ( no not the Nobel prize for me it seems rigged ), he would be equivalent to Joe DiMaggio, a real hero. Your hard work is going to resonate into time ❤ Thank you SS for putting this together 20:30 creativity always helps ! It helps evolving the mind when you leave the mind uncontrolled. Nature is best example watch how baby deer are born , how they evolve , it is way more amazing then one can image if they can grasp what is happening. I even believe animals have their own physics and science within their reality. One day we will learn from bees and birds some levels of ultimate reality we couldn’t have imaged. It’s not going to be like “what’s spooky action at a distance” that’s not what helps animals evolve so why bother ? But who knows ? Im enjoying how down to earth the talk is yet how sophisticated. Im not a physics PHD and I can get it , thanks for that !
Just wanted to say that I actively seek out Tim Maudlin’s lectures and podcast interviews/conversations because he’s the type of deeply thoughtful and passionate science educator I wish I had when I was in high school and college. Thanks!
not really claiming anything is particularly wrong with what tim said, but claiming certain variables have a dependence is something completely reasonable as long as the form of the dependence is reasonable and has plausible theories associate with it.
Yes, a lot of what Maudlin says is technically completely wrong. He has talked himself into a certain corner that he can't seem to back out of. For instance, that one can't have an intuition about quantum mechanics is a myth and so is "shut up and calculate". I can tell you where it originates: it comes from almost 100 years of failed teaching of quantum mechanics. It does not originate in a total absence of intuition among human being. There are many physicists who understand quantum mechanics just fine (in the same sense that we understand Newtonian mechanics, of course, in principle, not at the level where we can do complex calculations in our minds). These are just not the same physicists who are teaching at the undergrad university level. So it's not that they tell you to shut up, you just won't find anybody in a typical university department who has taken the time to study the literature about the foundations in detail and who could summarize it for you. If you go to the physics library yourself, however, you will be able to find all the necessary information. I am not sure Tim Maudlin did that. He may think that he did, but the way he talks about it just seems off.
Very Informative Content! Great Interview ❤❤❤❤
This is a fantastic interview. One of the best you have done, Gill. I started watching at 2:45 am and got so caught up in the conversation that I am still up at 3:45 am! A bit more on philosophy would have been nice, but I understand that time was short. Impressed at how many items you packed in there already. Prof. Maudlin is very thorough, concise and articulate in explaining things. I learned a lot.
Philosophy is completely useless in physics. Physics works much more like the law does. You have to read the fine print. Philosophy can not replace that.
György is an amazingly deep thinker on cognition and still down to earth. Really cool
If a black hole binary produces distortion at atomic nuclei size by the time it gets to earth, what is the size of the distortion very close to the black holes?
This is the correct view.
Amazing clarity of thoughts in every answer!! Proud of you Ashwin and all the best 🙂
All of this explains why an animal-based diet, particularly carnivore, is so healthy. Besides deuterium-depleted water, and besides carbs being high and fat being low in deuterium, one can also get lower intake of glyphosate from animal foods to organic, pasture-raised, grass-fed, and wild-caught. At the same time, that increases the nutritional, including phytonutrient, concentration from what the animals ate. That eliminates glyphosate from animal foods, in a way that can't be done with plant foods because even supposed 'organic' crops are contaminated. Plus, even if given high-glyphosate feed, polygastric ruminants like cows will break down glyphosate. That means the healthiest diet would be the Lion diet (beef, salt, water), at least in terms of glyphosate but also beneficial in terms of deuterium. We don't need to worry about how to deal with glyphosate, if we simply get rid of our exposure in the first place, which we can do. It would be wider to not be fatalistic about it. It might be a net loss to add in glyphosate-contaminated plant foods to get some nutrients (e.g., sulfur) to deal with glyphosate when one could simply remove glyphosate entirely from one's diet. Why merely deal with the effects when one can target the cause?
Jack Kruse has cautioned about not taking any supplements (like melatonin, GABA, NAC etc.) that the body has systems of making. I had thought that he was mainly concerned with down regulating the production mechanisms because the supplements were messing up the detections of need for production. But, now, he may have been referring to this deuterium contamination issue in manufacture. Both points might be important, but I am now much more concerned about the deuterium not getting depleted enough, compared to what gets produced in the body as opposed to in manufactured supplements. Very interesting.
What can cause deuterium to be mobilized out of bone? Can this happen episodically? When the body comes under stresses of illness, old age, or pregnancy, more Ca is sought out of the bone, Pb sequestered in bone can come out again too. Can deuterium also be drawn out again?
I love Dr Buzsaki...his work is great!..thanks for inviting him.

I will check it out
I love ❤️ Stephanie Seneff! Thank you for interviewing her!
If we could increase collagen (Proline) would that then help to deplete Deuterium I wonder?

awesome!
Fascinating talk on a topic I know almost nothing about! Time to hit another research rabbit hole ...
Lookup Dr Gabor Somlyai. Has an excellent book on the subject called Deuterium Depletion. Also there's Laszlo Boros. Both excellent resources for Deuterium.
Watch Gabor's interview w/The Busy Superhuman or Regenerative Health podcasts on You Tube. Also, dr Laszlo Boros' presentation at Wise Traditions around 2017. I'm doing their recommended deuterium depletion program with amazing results already!
Loved this interview

Nice interview. I recently published a paper, that among other things, explains the extreme stability of ground-state protons and connects the strong force to general relativity via the Planck length. It doesn't conflict with QCD or quantum gravity theories. In fact, it explains why three color charges make sense and why a lone proton should possess a virtual neutral pion cloud. See "Ground State Quantum Vortex Proton Model" in Foundations of Physics. Published January 23, 2023. My research group is working on a more complete proton model that incorporates QED much more intimately. We can calculate both the fine-structure constant and up-quark charge value to several digits. We have also developed a neutron model and think we can explain why it is less stable than a proton. Our neutron model also has a virtual neutral pion cloud.
Great talk.
Dr. Gould was my professor. I miss her dearly and I am so glad I found this. I’m not sure if this will reach her but I would love it if she knew how much of an impression she made on me. She complimented my progress over the time I was in the philosophy program, and her words have never ever ever left my mind. Thanks for posting this and if you are able to share with Dr. Gould I would really appreciate it. I doubt she would remember me and that’s okay, but she was part of my time there and all of my professors changed my life.
