What is Time?

August 08, 2024 / 00:49

This episode discusses the nature of time, computational phenomena, and the concept of the universe as a computer. Key topics include cellular automata and Piper graphs.

The conversation begins with a definition of time as a computational process, where one particle's interaction affects another. This leads to a discussion on how time represents the progress of computation.

Guests explore the idea that the universe operates like a computer, engaging in a computational exercise. They clarify that this does not necessarily imply we are living in a simulation.

TLDR

Time is a computational phenomenon, with the universe acting like a computer.

what is time time is a computational phenomena time is the progressive change of the network one particle touches
00:00:07
another one touches another this thing changes this one this changes this one yeah sounds to me like you're describing
00:00:12
your cellular automata yes it's very much like that it's a computational process and it happens to be operating
00:00:19
on these Piper graphs rather than just lines of black the universe itself is a computer yes running a computational
00:00:27
exercise yes well I whether you call it an exercise but yeah it is Computing yes
00:00:32
it is Computing and that's that's what the progress of time is time is the is the progress of that computation yes and
00:00:38
that is what people mean when they say are we living in a simulation no
