When this Universe takes things to the extreme, it really takes it to the extreme, dude I really hope all these different states can work together and cooperate in a good natured way, and make the world a better place for little children, we don't want to be on the bad side of this machine. We can all flourish, things can get so good, it's unbounding (well, there are critical factors related to controlling great uncertainty increase do to exponential compute, that's the great filter, we have to avoid that). The extremes (Power vacuum = black hole) (Power radiator = Planck unit) (Conscious expression, pleasure/suffering). This is why thing have to get REAL good, we have no choice 🤗

Too many KZbin channels literally apologize when anything remotely scientific, mathematical and technical needs to be part of the conversation. This bothers me because “dumbing down” discourse can become a reciprocating process. If it’s hard to understand that’s GOOD because it challenges the intellect. I like how TOE doesn’t feel the need to apologize when the going gets technical because this shows respect to its audience.

I wish I could remember how I got onto this but I was reading an article about Frenkel that caused me to buy his book Love And Math. The story of how he came to be interested in mathematics and how he was educated USSR is absolutely amazing. There were so many things that had to go exactly right in order for him to be here in the U.S. with the knowledge and experience that he has. As much as he loves mathematics, he loves being able to communicate it to others at their level. So he is an excellent math communicator. I am extremely thankful for this opportunity to listen to him talk about the Langlands program. Thank you for this extended interview with him. Two and a half hours. Wow.

Mathematics beautifully describes physics, and at the beginning of the video, Edward Frenkel passionately illuminates the profound merging of the two, showcasing the remarkable results that encapsulate our universe. Then, Frenkel takes us on a captivating journey, exploring intricate mathematical constructs culminating in the groundbreaking Langlands Program, unveiling hidden patterns across diverse mathematical domains. I love mathematics. So, following Professor Frenkel's logic wasn't too difficult. Although I didn't understand the graduate equations, overall, I understood his reasoning with the help of Curt Jaimungal, asking for clarity. I did acquire knowledge. It's time to read his book, Love and Math. Maybe then I can call myself Quantumkathmath.

What a pleasure and privilege to have an opportunity on KZbin to hear and learn from the thoughts of such people. A highlight for me was understanding that Andrew Weils solution to "Fermat last theorem" was much more interesting and important than the seemingly obscure detail of Fermat's theorem. It shows that hidden under what seemed to be some curiosity theorem of Fermat, was a hint at a much more general aspect of mathematics. Fermat theorem was basically some tempting shiny gem that showed the way to a real treasure box.

I love the discussion about whether mathematics is discovered or invented and how discovering/inventing mathematics is like getting a glimpse of something through the fog. I struggled with this question for decades, but lately I've come down on more on the discovery side. After trying to understand epistemology in the light of modern physics, I feel like the two perspectives are the difference between an objective and a subjective view of the same process, so to me, so discovery and invention are really the same. I keep getting excited when I think I've discovered or invented something new, but then google often proves me wrong, i.e. I keep discovering things that already exist (mostly in the past, but sometimes in the future).

"and it failed...spectacularly" as a physicist I must say: thanks for broadcasting that! Many physicists are still shy to say that. To illustrate the difference in visions: Witten avoided Feynman because every time Feynman crossed with Witten, Feynman asked *loudly*: "With how many dimensions are you working today?". This arguably true story was sanitized from Internet.

@@Milan_Openfeint It is not even wrong to have something better. It is not a theory it is an schemata of gazillions of theories separated by different compactifitions. It is not background independent. It predicts nothing, it is not falseable then, and anytime it failed at something they refurbished it to fit the facts. This is the reverse if the scientific method according to Popper. The epitome of their delusion came when two starring theorists proposed the change the scientific method because it became clear that string theory could never get anywhere. Their main argument? It is the only game in town. It is abstract nonsense, what can be good for Mathematics (see category theory) but Physics need to have a foot in reality. Forced to choose string theory Vs scientific method is a nobrainer. With how many dimensions are string theorists working with today? It is Monday they are using branes today. It was not only a failure it was an spectacular failure that held Physics behind for 40 years.

Although I have read physics a long time my understanding was always a mish mash of esoteric ideas that essentially I did not grasp. I still am an ignoramous but Edward has opened a window in my mish mash mind where I see a glimpse of what physicists are on about, and it is mind blowing. Thank you for being able to bring light on math and physics for me. Perhaps someone else listening could brush up on what spatial invariance is and what conformal invariance is and what a CalibiYau manifold is (wikipedia) then listen again to see.

Thanks Edward for your inspiring explanations, it is a pleasure to hear you both. At some point in your talk you mention electromagnetic duality symmetry and that it is closely related to the Langlands program. Indeed, EM duality seems to be the starting point in many references regarding the Langlands program. My question is: how close does this analogy between EM duality and Langlands program hold? For instance, EM duality is, in general, a continuous transformation between electric and magnetic fields (not just E->B and B->-E). Does this fact also reflect in Langlands construction?

If you could bring up this concept of equal PathTimes…within the context of bridging… The notion of equal PathTimes in trigonometric functions can be used as a basis for drawing parallels with continuous deformations and mappings in algebraic topology, particularly in the context of homotopy equivalence. By considering how different sine functions with varying amplitudes or frequencies complete a full circle in the same amount of time on the unit circle, one can draw an analogy to the continuous transformations that establish homotopy equivalence between topological spaces. The equal PathTimes in trigonometric functions serve as a mathematical foundation for exploring the idea that different functions can exhibit similar behaviors in terms of completing cycles within a fixed time frame. This commonality in PathTimes can then be related to the concept of continuous deformations and mappings that define homotopy equivalence in algebraic topology. By leveraging this common principle of equal PathTimes, one can potentially establish connections between the properties of trigonometric functions and the fundamental concepts of continuous transformations and equivalence in a broader mathematical context. Understanding the perspective on referring to the concept of equal PathTimes around the unit circle as a metaphorical representation of the homotopy equivalence principle relationship. By drawing this analogy between the consistent completion of cycles in trigonometric functions and the continuous transformations establishing homotopy equivalence, you can highlight the underlying symmetry and invariance shared between these seemingly disparate mathematical concepts. This comparison underscores the fundamental principles of continuity and equivalence that are inherent in both trigonometry and algebraic topology, and yes interconnected nature of mathematics, (with all islands). In the context of trigonometry and the unit circle, the radius of the circle is always considered to be 1. This unit circle is central to defining the sine and cosine functions. When we refer to different radius circles, we are essentially scaling the unit circle by a factor of the desired radius. This scaling factor affects the amplitude and period of the sine and cosine functions but does not change their fundamental properties. By adjusting the radius of the circle, we can generalize the sine and cosine functions to different scales while preserving their essential characteristics. Homotopy Analogy * This property of equal PathTimes amid radius scaling can be used as a metaphor for continuous deformations in algebraic topology: * Just as different scaling of the unit circle preserves the structure and behavior of trigonometric functions, continuous mappings between topological spaces preserve their topological properties (such as loops and paths) during transformations. Discovery of Invariance * The focus on equal PathTimes emphasizes the invariance shared between trigonometric functions under scaling: * Invariance under transformation:
Like escalated or deformed shapes in topology, trigonometric functions demonstrate how paths maintain their cyclic characteristics even when their dimensions (or scales) change. Conclusion * By integrating the idea of radius scaling with the principle of equal PathTimes, one can appreciate how different representations of functions maintain their core cyclic behavior. * This connection highlights the broader themes of continuity and equivalence in mathematics, showing how concepts from different areas, such as trigonometry and topology, can reveal deeper insights about the nature of mathematical transformations. * The use of equal PathTimes within
Fourier series emphasizes that different functions can undergo transformations (like shifts or scaling) while retaining their periodicity-a reflection of the essence of homotopy equivalence. * As different manifestations of periodic functions are expressed through their Fourier series, the essential properties (such as continuity and cycles) remain invariant across transformations. * This approach highlights a new way to link these established ideas, focusing on equal PathTimes as a metaphor for invariance in both Fourier series and homotopy equivalence.

@@karagi101 Honestly thank you for your response, I could be wrong and I do question myself and that’s why even a small response helps me, but yes this concept is inundated and also a concept where a child before development of Piaget stages and thus put many people to sleep and yet keeps me awake and possibly I have placed myself in this predicament and do need any feedback so I may help myself. I believe the above is another notion of sameness which yes is a weak notion of sameness also similarly to the notion which comes up in topology which is called homotope equivalence in which here are the ideas two spaces are homotopic equivalent if you can continuously deform one to another and such a simple of an idea as the example of all of euclidean space you know three-dimensional euclidean space is homotopic equivalent to a single point so you could imagine of this homotopia equivalence as like the reverse big bang but the one I mentioned goes forwards and reverse so you imagine three-dimensional euclidean space and “assuming” it has a centre (but my notion can work without a centre) the origin point of the universe and then all the other points in the universe and the universe is three-dimensional you are going to continuously move all the points in the universe back in a straight line (doesn’t need to be a straight line, which makes equal PathTimes shine) to the center of the universe or to the origin and they'll move kind of faster and slower(if using a straight line but if not a straight line would be more of variable frequency) depending on how far away they are so at time zero every point is where it is and then at time one they've all crashed home into the the center of the universe so that it is describing a continuous deformation that reveals that three-dimensional euclidean space and the point are the same so here's an example a sort of everyday example of a homotopic equivalence, the reason why this is an interesting example is because the point and three-dimensional space are homotopy equivalent they can be continued. You can actually do the same from mapping from a 1 dimensional world to a 3 spatial dimensional world by the use of equal PathTimes.

André Weil had a sister who was a great philosopher with a short but fascinating life, Simone Weil. Albert Camus called her "the only great spirit of our times." (Edit: Oh, he mentioned her later on.)

Ahh not just great maths but also how nice exposition job, from the heart. The Solaris bit is explained in the 'homotopy groups of spheres' wikipedia, in π₂(S²)=ℤ, so the sentient planet surface of shape S² develops an intuition of the integers as an homotopy group. I think the spherical examples are suspensions of the circular ones, as in the pic of π₁(S¹) earlier. Looking forward for part 2. I'm sold a whole franchise. Love'n'math influenced me decisively when younger, warmly recommend it.

Both maths and physics describe the "Now what?" In Maths, you can refer to your artificial works of declaration. In Physics you also need to refer to experiments in Reality. Both require an entity that can hold itself together and assimilate the information.

The trick . . you "must" formualte a strategy, decided before arriving at that point. It's a choice, and alway remember that! Consider, the 'hidden' beauty of variables, as equal to the riddles of partitions, or the Tau of functions. 51 years of Philosophy, and all I got was a bunch of records... In life, we encounter countless decisions. Some small, some monumental. These choices shape our experiences and define who we are. As Morrie Schwartz wisely said, "The big things - how we think, what we value - those you must choose yourself." Essentially, our core beliefs and values are personal choices that we make consciously or unconsciously. Less intellectually, Wu-Tang Clan: "The Game of Chess, is like a swordfight. You must think first, before you move." - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) Nov,93 - RCA.

Time is compactified. This is why there are limits. This is why there is conservation. Because we have a maxima and a minima ( which there didn't have to be). This creates the topology we observe. The Ricci flow is real geometric thing. The flow is to maxima and then at surface of interaction there is an inversion. Neutron decay cosmology is the physical process which embodies this. Space is a dielectric super fluid and flows in this fluid evolves all QFT

Time for you to brush up on analysis! There are limits because you are playing with a continuous variable. Every closed interval admits extrema. In that sense, compactness implies the existence of absolute extrema. So, indeed, there does have to be a minimum and maximum value taken on by whatever it is you've concocted. If you need more help understanding let me know. If there's one word that describes me it is charitable. Cheers!

Herbert Spencer wrote at the end of the 19th century in his "First Principles" about the trend of scientific theories that as they get more and more abstract they become more like religion. When you get into these types of theories they are named after hoards of brilliant minds who nobody knows (Langlands, Lafforgue, Taniyama-Shimura, Drinfield, Deligne, Kapustin etc...). These theories remain impenetrable for the common man.

Hi. There is one note I want to make about the discovery of the integers about a spinning planet. The formal argument are understandable. But it makes no physical sense. A planet needs to make a fixpoint where it localize the zero to be able to count the rotation. To be able to do so, there must be something other to be observable for the planet, otherwise it won't know that it is spinning. (Maybe it could observe a force and relate it to its spinning, there is nothing else for the planet to observe, so I don't see a chance here. So in the consequence, there has to be something other to be observe. So there are min. two things and therefore the planet is able to think about that and could find the number 1 (it), 2(other) and maybe zero for not being anything there. So the planet observe the digits as we do.
