Helgoland is a treeless island in the North Sea where the twenty-three-year-old Werner Heisenberg made the crucial breakthrough for the creation of quantum mechanics, setting off a century of scientific revolution. Full of alarming ideas (ghost waves, distant objects that seem to be magically connected, cats that appear both dead and alive), quantum physics has led to countless discoveries and technological advancements. Today our understanding of the world is based on this theory, yet it is still profoundly mysterious. As scientists and philosophers continue to fiercely debate the meaning of the theory, Rovelli argues that its most unsettling contradictions can be explained by seeing the world as fundamentally made of relationships rather than substances. We and everything around us exist only in our interactions with one another. This bold idea suggests new directions for thinking about the structure of reality and even the nature of consciousness. Rovelli makes learning about quantum mechanics an almost psychedelic experience. Shifting our perspective once again, he takes us on a riveting journey through the universe so we can better comprehend our place in it. Carlo Rovelli is a theoretical physicist who has made significant contributions to the physics of space and time. He has worked in Italy and the United States, and is currently directing the Quantum Gravity research group of the Centre de Physique Théorique in Marseille, France. His books "Seven Brief Lessons on Physics", "Reality Is Not What It Seems", and "The Order of Time" are international bestsellers that have been translated into more than forty languages.

Curtis 9 days ago Such likeable genius! I have served on a university faculty (as p-chem prof), and I have come especially appreciate people like CR who are so clearly about the wonder and joy of discovery and its sharing rather than about ego and gravitas-of-opinion. I know a few such refreshing geniuses and consider them to be the highest inspirations. 1 Vladimir Rogozhin Vladimir Rogozhin 4 months ago Many thanks! Very interesting dialogue! There is a fundamental basis... How to overcome the conceptual and paradigmatic crisis in the foundations of knowledge? Yes, dear Carlo, "Physics needs Philosophy." Philosophical ontology needs new breakthrough ideas in order to build a new Ideality as a fundamental ontological basis of Reality (Universe). But one must start with a new understanding of matter in the spirit of Plato ... MATTER is that from which all forms are born. Good metaphors of Plato: "nurse", "recipient". Then the triune (ontological) structure of MATTER is born: absolute rest (linear state) + absolute motion (circular motion, vortex) + absolute becoming (absolute wave). Each absolute (unconditional) state of matter has its OWN ONTOLOGICAL WAY (!!!). Accordingly, the triune (absolute) SPACE (the ideal entity - ontological, ideal limit for matter) has 9 gnoseological dimensions (three ontological). What keeps, protects, develops, directs matter? This is a metanoumenon - ONTOLOGICAL (structural, cosmic) MEMORY, "soul of matter", its measure. Thus we create a new Ideality for understanding Reality as a whole or a new ontological basis of knowledge: ontological framework (ontological boundaries, limits), carcass (absolute coordinate system), foundation (meanings / values). Then we establish the nature of "fundamental constants", the nature of the phenomena of information, time, consciousness. In a word, it is necessary to rethink the entire dialectical line from Heraclitus to Whitehead and Losev. Special attention is paid to N. Kuzansky's dialectics: "coincidence of opposites". "coincidence of maximum and minimum", as well as Whitehead's metaphysics of process. Good philosophical precepts were given to physicists by John Archibald Wheeler: << We are no longer satisfied with insights only into particles, fields of force, into geometry, or even into time and space. Today we demand of physics some understanding of existence itself. >> Forward, to understanding the world (Universe) as an eternal integral process of generating more and more new meanings and structures. <> (Vasily Nalimov) The quantum revolution should turn into the Big Ontological Revolution: "Understand and count quickly!" Peter Harket Peter Harket 10 months ago Great talk! This really echoes Wolfram's recent ideas <3 4 Bob Sheffield Bob Sheffield 3 months ago In his answer to the last question, Carlo Rovelli refers to Max Born, not Max Bohr as the subtitles text shows. Born, Werner Heisenberg and Pascual Jordan (the authors of quantum mechanics) all worked for Niels Bohr. 1 R vLn R vLn 9 months ago (edited) Yes, relativity hurray! Great video! :) Antonio Sánchez Antonio Sánchez 6 months ago Nothing is fundamental, therefore nothing is emergent. Complexity naturally arises but the relational aspect of reality places our experiences at the same level of quantum interactions. That’s has huge implications 1 Talib Kweli Talib Kweli 5 months ago Carlo Rovelli and his friends are bending over backwards trying to save their materialistic framework. Its not untill this these old ideas are given up on that we can make progress in understanding the nature of the universe. At this point its just institutional pressure keeping it in place, too many egos, too many careers have been invested in it for too long, and of course materialism has brought us this far - to its breaking point. 1 Nicole Nicole 7 months ago Physics: To find correct way to look at the universe. 2 Jatin Bangar Jatin Bangar 10 months ago Maybe it's magic.. where all fundamental laws we know breaks and there is no way to actually crack the quantum phenomenon. Would that be the end to the discovering part of physics? Have we completed STUDYING physics and have nothing more to do? 1 Dr Hikita Dr Hikita 1 month ago (edited) In trying to explain Quantum Weirdness... Mr Rovelli made me think of Politicians trying to speak about the Truth!! Avi Chein Avi Chein 9 months ago Can any good physicist out there tell me 6-7 different explanations for any single phenomenon ? Tata P Tata P 10 months ago Thank you! 1 Tata P Tata P 10 months ago (edited) 19:54 Dependent arisising!!! 30:28 Maybe we don't want to predict. May be we are just simply scared of an idea that there's nothing to predict? 🤔 1 Jaymie 808 Jaymie 808 10 months ago Wow amazing 1 TIMESPACE ™️ Time Mechanics (No:1 Time Theory) TIMESPACE ™️ Time Mechanics (No:1 Time Theory) 10 months ago Time Theory. You are a Time Mechanic! Time lines - Infinity - all information What is the universe? The universe consists of pure - Information - is the universe. What is information? One bit of information is a technology Two bits of information create a new independent information- a new information structure What are atoms or matter? Structures of information or better, technologies! One technology = one individual atom Two technologies make a new technology A - new structure made up of two inner technologies or structures. Itself is a technology. Independent What is mathematics? Information interactions - creating new information / or interactions between set technologies (From & too infinity) What is time? Time is Information - interacting to create a order. A sense of entropy is the ordering of the information interactions - creating new technologies and technologies sets. 💯 logic 1 Felipe Garavito Felipe Garavito 10 months ago This have to be a videogame 1 Thomas Reiner Thomas Reiner 3 days ago What you define future? A person will get rich, married a beautiful wife , have 5 children all these can’t not consider as future, what is evolution going to take our universe to, that is future. It is definitely predictable . David Merwin David Merwin 10 months ago ✨ 1 Galen Olmsted Galen Olmsted 8 months ago LOL to objects have no properties of their own... Shlomo Bachar Shlomo Bachar 7 months ago Everything happens inside the consciousness. There is only now and there is only happening and everything (including the past and future) is created now. Will McCreight Will McCreight 10 months ago discuss dark matter in terms of relations Murray Rothbard Murray Rothbard 10 months ago Why is this comment section open but ALOK's comment section is disabled? 1 Alan Kuntz Alan Kuntz 7 months ago universatay, ain't that great. Denis Voronin Denis Voronin 8 months ago (edited) Rovelli is great but that fella from Google just spoils the whole thing. Why do you need that 500 USD headphones + microphones if you sound like you voice goes from inside the toilet? Plus the man just has no idea what Rovelli's talking about. 3 Arthur Smith Arthur Smith 5 months ago (edited) For heavens sake take Sanders picture / person out of the video. Why? Why? Is he in the frame anyway. Is he supposed to nod and smile and ask insightful questions of Dr. Rovelli? 1 Jolly Rodger Jolly Rodger 8 months ago In this interview Dr Rovelli said that conscience plays no role in collapsing wave function: "robot can perform an experiment". Well, "Delayed choice quantum eraser" experiments clearly show that it does. And please, stop this childish/woke thing - cat is asleep or awake. We are adults and understand what "dead" and "alive" means in this context. It means two fixed apposite states and not "awoke, but still slippy". 3
