This Cosmologist Discovered Something Strange...

Reality may be a neural network...

So, this one is quite mind bending.

Here’s your episode with Professor Vitaly Vanchurin. This is not a hand-wavy “the universe looks like a brain” talk. There’s no prattling about universal function approximation (although it’s mentioned). Instead, something far stranger is going on… We cover:

  • The Universe’s learning dynamics as fundamental physics… That’s right. The laws of physics as the means by which the universe learns.

  • How the Schrödinger equation emerges from a classical system that can borrow and return neurons (a grand canonical ensemble)

  • Natural selection operating at the scale of electrons, not just organisms

  • Why Vanchurin says we need to unify not two but three things: quantum mechanics, general relativity, and observers

  • The self-tuning universe: not a fine-tuned magnate of coincidences, but a system that learns to host observers
