<p>[00:08:05] And I don't think that this is in fact, what a Theory of Everything is meant to be either. Now, why is that? Well, because I believe at some level it is impossible for most of us to imagine, an airtight argument, mathematically speaking, which coaxes out of an absolute void, a something. However, there's a different question which I think might actually animate us and which is the right question to ask of a potential candidate [theory]. | <p>[00:08:05] And I don't think that this is in fact, what a Theory of Everything is meant to be either.

Escher drawing or lithograph "Hands Drawing Hands" or "Drawing Hands", what we see is that the paper is presupposed. That is, if you could imagine a Theory of Everything, it would be like saying, if I posit the paper, can the paper will the ink into being such that the ink gives rise to the pens and the pens draw the hands, which in fact, manipulate the pens to use the ink? | ||
<p>[00:09:07] That kind of a problem is one which is of a very different character than everything that has gone before. It is also, in my opinion, an explanation of why the physics community has been stalled for nearly 50 years since around 1973, when the standard model was intellectually in place. | <p>[00:09:07] That kind of a problem is one which is of a very different character than everything that has gone before.
