Ever wondered how the world can be local in quantum theory? Here is my full explanation of the problem and its solution without complicated mathematics (links in comments):
I am doing an interview ith Brett Hall (@ToKTeacher ) You can ask him any questions you want to ask me in the thread!
I'll be speaking with mathematician Paul Raymond-Robichaud (@PaulRRobichaud) soon for an ongoing series of conversations with the @ConjectureInst fellows. Paul's research and other interests are found here conjectureinstitute.org. Drop any questions for him below!
Knowledge of mathematics will not tell you which interpretation of probability/quantum theory is the right one. But it will rule out bad interpretations.
Don't ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. -Howard Thurman
"Many elite scientists struggle to secure funding for novel ideas due to their lack of popularity, despite past world-changing innovations that are now popular. Our institutions favor projects meeting all checkboxes over those that will lead to a golden age." ~Conjecture…
For information that is not knowledge: No increased redundancy over time + Probability one of an uncorrectable error. ==> Probability one of destruction.
Scientists don't stop having good ideas when they get old. They stop when they get bureaucratic.
AI-generated math proofs resemble an Escher engraving. Locally, they seem coherent and ordinary. Globally, they are contradictory and nonsensical in an artistic way.
Every part of the universe should be transformed to be more habitable, rational-being-friendly, and knowledge-friendly. There is no conservation, only transformation.
If we could invert the chirality of the entire universe, all relationships within it would remain unchanged. We couldn't tell the difference, but the universe would not be the same.
For any information that exists online, AI is superior to even the best in-person lecture. No university, no matter how illustrious, can beat the power of your own computer and internet connection.

Focusing on getting into a top university is poor advice. Admission is not an accomplishment; it is a signal for those unwilling to evaluate ideas and a shortcut for those unwilling to generate them. For everyone else, ideas speak for themselves.
