Thanks for a great discussion everyone!

Hey Curt,

Did you have a chance to review the various works contained in my book Simplicity Through Simulation: The Algorithm of Humanity? I would be interested to here your opinion on my Quantum Calculus model along with the “Abraxis” numerical theory contained within it 🥸🇨🇦 as it seems to validate a lot of what your speaking of lately.

Keep up the great work! Absolutely love your channel and the information you broadcast! Your an inspiration to all Canadians!

Leonard Susskind is a leading promoter for decades of "string phantasy" that stopped physics research for decades....

An arrogant and repulsive character -- very vocal on everything except -- the genocide in Palestine

Interesting, he is repulsive, but I must say there are a lot of people who are very vocal about nothing except Israel/Palestine. Judging by your name, a certain conflict between Russia and Ukraine should be top of mind, or do dictators get a pass? We as a humanity have a looming climate crisis that, if people understood the GRAVITY of the problem, would surely unite humanity and stop these awful conflicts. It's disappointing to see this stuff brought into a science forum, this should be a place where one's mind can be carefree...

This seems very interesting, it's genuinely exciting that these topics are becoming fashionable. However, only one outcome was discussed - showing that gravity could mediate entanglement. What about the negative outcome, that gravity cannot in fact mediate entanglement. Could this experiment ever be conclusive in that direction? It's so interesting that this was not mentioned by either side. The two profs put their cards on the table - they are firmly convinced that gravity is quantum. They want to falsify general relativity. But Curt shouldn't you ask the question?

They did say that if they get a negative result then it wouldn't disprove nor prove quantum gravity nor any of the other theories. That is a null result won't provide a new direction though it will provide bounds

OK, probably I missed that bit, thank you.

Ps, good job holding your temper in check with Susskind- the whole encounter had me chuckling!

Why do you say Einstein is wrong? Just like light is a particle, and manifests as a wavelike phenomenon for cosmic bodies in motion, so too can gravity be particles at the quantum level and this manifests as an apparent distortion of spacetime at the cosmological level...maybe the distortion of spacetime is effectively a static wave...

Curt. About a year ago on the Washington DC Quantum Computing Meetup, I had this interaction with Dr Vedral.

Here is a clip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YjATQiTNCfIKkmqYfQlNRDCWguidYK72/view

The whole lecture is here. See me at ~hour 1.31

Vedral asked for an important experiment that he thought no one did. I did it. My work is all at http://www.thresholdmodel.com I show how quantum mechanics fails for both matter and light. Vedral showed much interest at the time, but ignored me afterwards. If you feature me it will be win-win.
