Entropic Gravity + Atomic Interconnectome - Dr. Andreas Schlatter - DS Pod #294

Dr. Andreas Schlatter is a classically trained physicist (EPFL,
Princeton) with a decidedly heretical approach to physics. Though
deeply mathematical in his approach, he dispenses with the purely
field-based approach to understanding the building blocks of
nature, and asks far deeper question about what the mathematics
is telling us about the hidden structures of nature. Rather than
take the positivist approach, which suggests that anything that
cannot be experimentally encountered is not worth considering,
Schlatter follows in the tradition of Gödel and the other mid
20th century logicians, who believed that a layer of the universe
beyond the visible is available to us if we can reason our way to
it. By following this path, Schlatter has reached the conclusion
that the only viable interpretation of quantum mechanics is the
transactional one. Unlike the other transnational theorists we’ve
had on the show, Schlatter has gone one step further to propose
that there is a transactional interpretation of gravity just as
is there is for quantum mechanics. He calls it entropic gravity,
and in this episode we explore the convoluted path he took to
physics, how he found the transactionalists, and how he and Ruth
Kastner formulated an entropic explanation for spacetime.

https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD
studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking
to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time
painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also
did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of
molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring
sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various
universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS:
