Hiking With Goldilocks in Michigan

Oh wow, this is the best. It feels like you're actually there with her. I hope Hannah doesn't get jealous, ... Actually this was six weeks ago. When I see those abandoned places, because that 's what most of the United States feels like to a foreigner, I can't help thinking about the people who lived there before and how they felt looking at all of this unspoilt and incredibly beautiful land. South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin: yeah!   Subscribe to Goldilocks . The Ojibwe--Anishinaabe were into Geometry and Mathematics as well as birch trees. Subscribe to Jaguar Bird .

Oh wow. This is an amazing story. I made it up to 1:56:48, only another fifty or so minutes to go, ... later! Subscribe to Angela Collier . and see her Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acollierastro .

Janet Axelrud and Roger Penrose on Singularities

I just watched these two videos in sequence: See the Wikipedia page  P-adic number . Subscribe to Architect of Ideas . Just before that I was listening to this clip, where Roger Penrose is basically talking about the same phenomenon in 4-space. See Julian Barbour - Complexity as Time .

Sabine did a critique of this: At 5:43 "If you went that way (←) for billions of years you could arrive back where you started from that way (→)!" And if the Universe is rotating, then according to Einstein and Gödel you could arrive back before you left, and then how would you know where you started?

Here's Jade's video:  Jade on The Shape of Space And here's her video on the thermodynamic arrow of time: ... and here's her video on the importance of context when you make a mathematical statement: The thing is that time has passed when the computer discovers the next potential Berry's number. That moment was a tick (or a tock) on God's clock. See Jade on Time and Information ....

See  Margherita Pirri - Chansons Françaises. See also Entanglement and the Measurement Problem (2022) by Art Hobson. Some people don't seem to get the significance of the cat in Schrödinger's cat experiment. Why does the cat have to die if the particle decays? It's so that in the event the particle does decay, there is no cat to observe it, because the cat is dead! And if the cat is alive? Well, that just means the particle hasn't decayed yet! Speaking of physics, I'm now at 1h 22m in Angela's video Angela Collier - The Doit on Richard Feynman but I had to stop again, ... I got to the bar fight in upstate NY though, and that's a really great story. It sounds completely believable to me! Subscribe to Margherita Pirri .
