This is a phenomenal episode with a legend in the philosophy of physics scene, Prof. John Norton. You don’t want to miss it. Here’s what’s covered:
Classical indeterminacy, Norton’s Dome and how (most) physicists don’t examine assumptions
Why Landauer’s principle is critically flawed
Thought experiments as actual arguments
Einstein’s true genius that you can learn from
Why the Simulation Hypothesis / argument is an inductive failure
Here’s the link to the 20% annual subscription at The Economist. I highly recommend you check them out. Use this link as it indicates it’s from me, thus it helps me out as well: www.economist.com/TOE
As always, I look forward to hearing from you in the comments.
