Mindscape 193 | Daniels on Everything, Everywhere, All at Once

Killer interview get! I hate to over-hype it, but this movie is the most interesting thing I've seen in a theatre in over a decade. Seen it twice and planning on round 3 this week.

[@rickschaier9977]

Could not agree more, just saw it the second time today!

[@rexaquaticis865]

I doubt I've seen a film with as much re-watch value as this one. Every watch makes me feel all the emotions with no loss in intensity not to mention all the new things you spot on every successive viewing.

[@pleaseL1KEandSUBSCR1BE]

Because it won Best Picture and 6 other Oscars, it’s been released to theaters for a fifth run … and tonight I’ll be seeing it at the theater for the 19th time 😊

This one's going in the favorites. When juju chewbacca had her line about the collapse of the wave function I immediately thought of your podcast

[@eliastandel]

What a refreshing interview! And you can hear how the interviewees are actually enjoying the conversation rather than just doing arbitrary promotion.

[@KirkpatrickSounds]

Great interview and absolutely phenomenal film.

[@kidhelvetica]

Sean, those are the smartest directors Hollywood has to offer. Congrats on a great get.

[@tomahawk27]

it's such a great movie! one of my all-time, all-places favorites

[@bryandraughn9830]

Reminds me something somewhere occasionally.

[@ThatNoobie]

Great interview!

[@martinds4895]

Can't wait to see the movie 🍿🎥!

[@Neomadra]

very cool dude, this was lots of fun

[@HarryNicNicholas]

this is intriguing. i'm immediately reminded of "stranger than fiction" - my career was in special effects and computer animation, and of course i have an unhealthy interest in physics, so, another great podcast, from the millions of me.

[@ShamanicKnight]

Just adding in that Blake Crouch's "Dark Matter" novel, which is also based on the multiverse, is absolutely brilliant!

[@DudokX]

I hope that the reverse podcast happens as well, this was way too good

[@iamsavvy]

Love this interview or should i say philosophical discussion, morality is an ever evolving concept...Another life affirming film which will go down as a true classic!

[@randylamonda460]

Mind blown!

[@rumidude]

Not gonna listen to this until after I see the film.

[@andresbarriga5305]

Did you?

[@rumidude]

@@andresbarriga5305 I just saw this movie and it is fantastic. I have not felt this enthusiastic about a film in a very long time. Gotta see it a few more times because it is so layered.

[@andresbarriga5305]

@@rumidude Yes, you'll start to get more and more things with the extra viewings. It's beautifully smart movie. :)

So here's something i wrote for my FB science group recently and before listening to this podcast....... Many Worlds vs Eternal Inflation (down the rabbit hole) So if Hugh Everett was right and if Sean Caroll is right …….. And if the universe really does split and divide every time a ‘wave-function collapses’ then the ‘Many Worlds interpretation’ of Quantum Mechanics could be correct - The implication here is that there might be, literally, countless versions of our universe running in parallel in a multiverse with new ones created, literally, all the time!!! - some universes nearly identical to our own with exact copies of ourselves!!! - And others growing (evolving) increasingly dissimilar with the passage of time - And more and more universes, literally, every second!!! - universes spawning universes, spawning universes, on-and-on, exponentially!!! - Well, however unlikely and mind bending that scenario seems, it is a serious QM interpretation taken very seriously by very serious physicists and it might actually be true!!! - Proponents of the theory like it because it is the simplest interpretation of QM - other interpretations all need fixes or compromises of some sort - The ‘Copenhagen Interpretation’ of QM is the most widely accepted version of QM but that has several unresolved issues and, worse still, it requires ‘certain questions’ should not even be asked!!! - Mind blown yet….? It gets worse…!!! There is another equally well respected theory that also predicts a multiverse, although by an entirely different mechanism - ‘Inflation Theory’ as proposed by Alan Guth is the most respected theory of the origin of our universe - I won’t go into details of the theory here but, suffice to say, ’Inflation Theory’ is the best explanation we have for the way our universe looks today - that is to say it explains the structure and the uniformity of our universe; flat, homogeneous and isotropic at large scales - And it’s evidenced by the CMB!!! - few physicists contest ’Inflation Theory’…… But ……. There’s a catch……. There’s always a catch……… ‘Inflation Theory’ is actually more properly titled ‘Eternal Inflation Theory’ - That means that the ‘Inflation’ never stops!!! - So, our universe got born and ‘inflation’, for this universe, stopped and gave way to normal expansion - and our universe evolved - so far so good - But, in the background, ‘Eternal Inflation’ just kept on going and still keeps on going - continuously birthing ever more separate universes and populating a theoretical region called ‘The Bulk’ with ever more millions (at least) of separate universes each with, potentially, different laws of physics - Now, unlike ‘Many Worlds’, there’s no reason to suppose these universes would contain copies of us - in fact, most of them probably would not have laws of physics conducive to life - But still, it’s a lot more universes in addition to those coming from ‘Many Worlds’ - And the two theories are not even incompatible!!! - Both scenarios could be playing out together!!! - And we could even have the exponentially, parallel, Many Worlds’ scenario happening over-and-over inside countless ‘Eternal Inflation’ born universes!!! - A multiverse of multiverses!!! Now it’s important to stress that all of this is theories - prominent, high profile, respected theories supported by leading physicists and leading universities, but still theories and not actually ‘empirically’ proven…. - But not Sci-Fi either - And I’m not sure anyone has thought through the implications if both are true!!! So what do you think...? Is either theory correct...? Are they both correct…? Do we all really have ‘clones’ in other universes that we can never meet or interact with...? Just how many universes are there...? Is it, literally, an infinite number of universes...? And is ours even special…? And in that infinite multiverse of multiverses, are there infinite possibilities…? Does anything and everything that can happen actually happen somewhere…?

V enjoyable

[@Emanresu56]

This title is giving me anxiety.

[@LEDewey_MD]

Multiverse = choice

[@rajeevgangal542]

Wonderful conversation although I'll never be convinced about the quantum multiverse. So when does the universe spilit when you decide something or when a part of your body down to a cell, protein, dna base, atom...decides. too weird an interpretation. I rather buy the cosmological multiverse although that sounds unnecessary too. Would we then have multiverses of multiverses? Infinite regress of group of objects

[@btn237]

It’s worth adding that all interpretations of QM are bizarre, the many worlds interpretation isn’t more far fetched than any others (not that an idea being weird or hard to wrap your mind around has any bearing if it’s true) - if you accept that particles exist in a superposition, then all throughout space there are a limitless number of possibilities existing simultaneously. There aren’t really any ‘not weird’ ways to interpret QM. A downside of many worlds certainly isn’t adding complexity, it is apparently the most bare bones interpretation of the equations. This is why a lot of people subscribe to the idea - it doesn’t add anything to the math of QM.

[@rapidreaders7741]

At the end of the day, it's all speculation within reason. No one can prove multiverses exist, but no one can disprove them either. In a way, it's very similar to the "we live in a simulation" theory.

[@patriciasarsfield4304]

These guys with their pronouns... i'm not sure.

[@suphiunsal1864]

Ah Belinda! If it weren’t a Turkish movie from 1986 and if it were promoted in the context of multiverse it’d be an instant hit .. but it isn’t :) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaahh_Belinda
