Exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner.

My name's Curt Jaimungal, a Torontonian with a degree in mathematical physics from the University of Toronto and I analyze various Theories of Everything from this analytic perspective, though more and more opening up to alternative approaches. The separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, we're increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information.

John Norton: The 300-Year-Old Physics Mistake No One Noticed
Professor John Norton dismantles long‑standing assumptions in physics, from Newtonian determinism to the myth of Landauer’s principle. He argues that causation may be illusory, explores the breakdown of classical physics, and shows why even Einstein got things wrong.- 00:00 - Introduction- 03:37 - Norton's Dome Explained- 06:30 - The Misunderstanding of Determinism- 09:31 - Thermodynamics and Infinite Systems- 14:39 - Implications for Quantum Mechanics- 16:20 - Revisiting Causation- 18:15 - Critique of Causal Metaphysics- 20:21 - The Utility of Causal Language- 24:58 - Exploring Thought Experiments- 33:05 - Landauer's Principle Discussion- 49:48 - Critique of Experimental Validation- 52:25 - Consequences for Maxwell's Demon- 1:13:34 - Einstein's Critiques of Quantum Mechanics- 1:28:16 - The Nature of Scientific Discovery- 1:42:56 - Inductive Inferences in ScienceSPONSORS:- The Economist: 20% off discount. https://www.economist.com/toeRESOURCES:- Join My New Substack (Personal Writings): https://curtjaimungal.substack.com- Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gL14b92xAErofYQA7bU4e- A Primer on Determinism (book): https://amzn.to/45Jn3b4- John Norton’s papers: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=UDteMFoAAAAJ- Causation as Folk Science (paper): https://sites.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/papers/003004.pdf- Lipschitz continuity (wiki): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipschitz_continuity- The Dome: An Unexpectedly Simple Failure of Determinism (paper): https://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/2943/1/Norton.pdf- Norton’s Dome (wiki): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton%27s_dome- Approximation and Idealization (paper): https://sites.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/papers/Ideal_Approx_final.pdf- On the Quantum Theory of Radiation (paper): https://www.informationphilosopher.com/solutions/scientists/einstein/1917_Radiation.pdf- Making Things Happen (book): https://ccc.inaoep.mx/~esucar/Clases-mgc/Making-Things-Happen-A-Theory-of-Causal-Explanation.pdf- Causation in Physics (wiki): https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/causation-physics/- Laboratory of the Mind (paper): https://www.academia.edu/2644953/REVIEW_James_R_Brown_Laboratory_of_the_Mind- Roger Penrose on TOE: https://youtu.be/sGm505TFMbU- Ted Jacobson on TOE: https://youtu.be/3mhctWlXyV8- The Thermodynamics of Computation (paper): https://sites.cc.gatech.edu/computing/nano/documents/Bennett%20-%20The%20Thermodynamics%20Of%20Computation.pdf- What's Actually Possible?
