Existential Quanta, A Homage To Spinoza (and surely to Descartes!...)

Quantum Gravity, Evolution of Species and Topology. An approach to the concept of a hyperconnected space as a mathematical framework underlying quantum gravity.

This is mainly a homage to Baruch Spinoza, the author of an ultimate principle of equivalence, suggesting then a very strong unconscious influence on Einstein.

Special note: Renné Descartes dreamed of "mathematizing" the whole universe! He had that dream... this talks about a desire, a not fulfilled desire, or, wish, from a freudian perspective... suggesting the elusive unconscious skin! Also, the cartesian cogito (Cogito Ergo Sum) is not a logical instance but a kind of a Gedanken affirming the "equivalence of thinking and existing" for human beings specially. In this way, "Existential" in "Existential Quanta" is a very special though indirect homage to the great french philosopher who preceded the creator of the ultimate principle of equivalence, Baruch Spinoza.

(8:11) I'd rather say "we human beings 'know' that we 'possess' conscioussness".

[mrqsilveira]

(6:38) Emergence of Life as a special case. Emergence as a property of the hyperconnected space and existential quantum as a general case.

(4:44) Spinoza's shinning halo! A halo brings forth the idea of a disc or of an apparently closed region (of light!). It is a junction of two fundamental concepts: 1. Consciousness; 2. Neighborhood in mathematics. So, we might never really touch the real idea of consciousness, even though - blessed be the Lord! - we can approach it as much as we desire.

[mrqsilveira]

(2:09) The point here is how we drive the idea that strings are bridges from the fundamental state to information inside the universe back to the concept of entropy of, specially, black-holes. From this point on we must relate it to the Holographic Principle.

How many of the 565 watched this till the end?

[mrqsilveira]

(4:53) How could Einstein deny free-will? What about YourOtherBeaver?

What a fucking idiot

[ornivb]

@LyaschenkoArkadEy are you one of those people who reject evolution and think the sun goes around the earth and think that the earth is 6000 years old and think that something unnatural(supernatural) exists to affect natural processes?

Does this guy need to stick his teeth to the screen like this. I could almost smell his breath.

This guy is a mentally insane crackpot hahahahaha!
