It really doesn't matter what kind of reality you think you're living in. One thing for sure you are witnessing the greatest magic show in our universe. The here-and-now 👁

The level of passive-aggressiveness among these physicists is ASTRONOMICAL

Suss-Kind has the name, looks and mind of a wizard. We are blessed with his lack of arrogance (and all these gentlemen) whilst attempting to connect vast fields of complex knowledge, then carefully stepping it down for us plebes to comprehend some semblance of it. These are early days in the scheme of things. Great marvels to come.

I was born with many difficulties in my life. Although I am not fully educated, I have a strong love for science and the universe. Thank you for bringing it to me. Love you

It's like video game characters tying to figure out the truth of their existence as video game characters but using video game physics to describe the computer they run on. It's impossible, which is why there is a conflict (unless of course the designer put the information there that describes it)

The question at the end, "Do you think we are just a projection...do you think we are actually real?" the problem is, a projection is just as real as anything else. It's just a matter of mechanics used to accomplish reality.

"So, you're saying you guys are friends ?" - This is the moment when I realized this guy is a damn genius. Incredible and enjoyable presentation, thank you.

So nice to see Professor Susskind, I wish my math teachers in high school were even a little like him.

It's 3 in the morning on a Monday in July 2020 and I'm binging these science festivals. I think I have a condition. Perhaps... Science-philia.

I appreciate the effort you put into the video description this is all very professional and easy to follow.

It is absolutely fascinating to be hearing all this coming straight from the sources who worked directly on this theory!

It took me half of my life to understand Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, thanks to the evolution of information it was pretty fast to get what Hawking meant with his radiation but I don’t think I’ll have life enough to see the demonstration of this idea. However I have great respect and gratitude for all those beautiful minds. I wish you well.

The description of knowing the position of every molecule in the sea / being able to windsurf is a really good way to teach people the concept of obfuscation in the cybersec world

Me before watching this video- "Oh this looks silly but I'm bored. I'll give it a listen.." Me after watching this video- "OMG THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM!!!!"

VERY HAPPY TO HAVE PARTICIATED WITH YOU..as ALLWAYS THANK YOU VERY MUCH ...PEACE

WoW! Fascinating... and I didn't think I knew or understood anything about physics, but not only could I follow what was being said and suggested, but I even enjoyed exploring the ideas and agreed with things that prior to this, I'd never even heard of before! So what a brilliant moderator to keep it simple enough for even people like me to not only enjoy, but to be disappointed that it concluded as soon as it did ... just when it was becoming even more Fascinating! Thank you so very much ... even if it's probably very old theory by now.

The idea of the universe being described as bits at the plank level makes sense when you think about the books and digital media. You can have a billion digital books that fit on a disk the size of your hand. Apply that on a cosmic level and you can describe the universe using far less space to encode the information. Incredible...

I love it when minds like this come together ...😍😍😍

It's quite astounding how deeply ancient alchemical and Gnostic elements have become embedded in our most "cutting edge" science. The holographic nature of information was noted by many of the first alchemists. And indeed, almost the entire intro to this forum was steeped in ancient mysticism. Several times the speakers highlighted the importance of the Hegelian dialectic in physics, though they didn't call it that. It's a historical fact that Hegel was an alchemist, and one can draw almost exact parallels between alchemical principles and Hegel's dialectic. Even the idea of the "singularity" is a deeply Gnostic concept. There is a kind of Eschatological strain in technocratic elites today, from Elon Musk to Ray Kurzweil. I can't help but thinking that computer technology has revived a kind of new cybernetic school of alchemy that is just as mystical as it is rational. I'm wary of any elites that push Eschatological ideas, because these ideas always lead to the Eschaton... otherwise known as "the apocalypse". I think the archetype of the mad scientist should seriously be explored by more critical thinkers today before we let a group of high priests lead us into an unnecessary apocalypse. It's at least worth exploring, one would think.

This host is an absolute G. He kept this hilarious. Man if you're out there thanks for the entertainment factor.

Fabulous discussion. Thank you to all participants!

We are infinite awareness having a human experience. There us no you or I. All experience from every matter in this universe will all revert back to one single consciousness.

I thought I’d recognized your voice, Dr. Greene. Awesome seeing you here 😊

Much love...thanks for fixing the audio mid stream🇺🇸💖🙏🌟💯

it is interesting to imagine life, reality like this, like a hologram, like a matrix. Just like information is stored to create computer, vídeo games, that create the sense of depthness, of mechanics, of light, the universe itself may be like this too. An infinite amount ou information stored somewhere forming what we perceive as time and space, creating the illusion of depth, time, etc. This is a very interesting concept, it even supports the time travel theory, because, once the information of the universe is stored somewhere, it can be recreated, if they come back to be interpreted, in the state they were before. If this is true, then future can also be created, developing the way information is stored and is affected, the upcoming information must also be somewhere stored, only "waiting" to be interpreted! the way we perceive things and the reality may be a illusion, just as the concept of space and time. All this information can be stored somewhere, in an extradimensional field. What am i saying? I don't know, just playing with my thoughts!

As Gerard stated at 1:04, maybe information is lost to us as observers but ultimately is not lost because it branches off into another reality that we can not observe.

Thank you John for raising to the general public that our reality exists as a hologram. The title is shortly wrong, but its content is right and it shows the close relation between matter, dark matter, energy and information of organizing systems. The black hole is the "cosmic machine" which arranges the organized systems in their relations among matter, dark matter and energy. The relations among these 3 crucial existential quantitative and qualitative components are quantified and qualified through the cosmic laws and expressed in information. The information in itself is not a component of existence, but it expresses the relation among the crucial components in their composition of organized systems. So, the information is used by any "cosmic machine" like black holes in their superlative role of rearranging systems in our universe. So, if it is accepted the role of such superlative "cosmic machines" as the great Einstein said "from nothing comes nothing, from something comes something", Einstein although in his theory of Relativity did not give much explanations for the quantum mechanics, because of his human death which stopped his work, he accepted that quantum mechanics was the next step, which can be explained through the superlative role of black holes as "cosmic machines", and the quantum mechanics is aligned with the relativity theory through the string theory, which clearly deducts logically and it will prove mathematically that our universe is not the only one. So, the information exists universally in dependence of the cosmic laws, which interfere with specific laws of physics, chemistry, biology, which differ from one galaxy to another galaxy, because of the size of the black hole where the galaxy is located. But, the physical forces, the chemical elements and the organic and inorganic systems differ in their arrangements from one galaxy to another, depending on the location of the black hole that they are located. So, the grand question always has been answered by the ancient philosophers and scientists, although of lost documentation which means lost knowledge, that the cosmos which means multiverses exists universally in dependence of the cosmic laws and not on the level of human knowledge. The best physicists, chemists, biologists and other scientists of associated sciences in our planet always are those, who try to know what the ancient knowledge has left documented as much as has survived from the Sumerians, ancient Hindus, who have left some knowledge as a direction that we should acknowledge because we are only one civilization of planet Earth.

Checking in from MA, this was amazing and super informative, thank you!

This is awesome, I loved every second of it. Fascinating stuff!

In consideration on 01:04:00.00 there is the established observable phenomenon of molecular decay; perhaps there could exist infomation lost through time perhaps "time" has an oxidation property

This explains how I've lost so many socks. If there's too much in the washer, the code for my left sock gets lost. Thanks, panel of scholars!

Michael Talbot introduced me to this subject god rest his soul 🙏

I think it’s great the physicist questions quantum mechanics or what underlies it. It’s the questioning people and the ones who are suspicious that learn new things.

ive got work in the morning its 1 am i've started and i'm not going to stop till it ends. this rabbit hole is too interesting

There is something that surprised me in this incredible conversation and it is something that I don’t see many scientists talking about, if ever, which is the fact that particles change their behavior when they are being observed, the double slit experiment proved that. Science has this idea of analyzing things as if they are independent, as if they are this thing that can be separated, isolated and analyzed on its own physical properties as if it is independent from the whole, cut off, but is this possible? When it is isolated, does it change the information that can be analyzed from when it was part of a system? I think that’s a very linear way of thinking, we still don’t know what Consciousness is and how it affects the physical world. For instance, would the Consciousness of an Alien being have the same affect on a particle and would the Alien get to the same conclusion as a human? Or different levels or types of consciousness lead to different results? Are the properties of the Universe fixed and once calculated will they ever change? Is the Universe based on pure mathematics or is there something else at work? Does a blackhole change its behavior when it is being observed? Does it suck in the information of the Consciousness analyzing it? Does it store on its surface only information from the physical world or also stores Consciousness information on its surface? How do we explain or understand superposition? Why when we split a certain type of particle, when we do something to one of the parts, the other part also is affected even though we didn’t do anything to it? What is connecting this particle when it has been split? What type of field of energy is this? Is it a type of electromagnetic field which the vast distances of the universe have no affect on it? If the Universe is a hologram, touching a quark is the same as touching the whole thing? And does this influence the universe as whole? Is the Universe alive? I think it is alive just like a living person and I think information is a tangible unit just like a photon is. Science doesn’t consider yet Consciousness as one of the building blocks of the Universe. When that gets put into consideration in an equation, everything is going to change.

If the universe is encoded into an N - 1 dimension that would mean we need some sort of space filling curve to connect each of the regions of the encoding. If that space filling curve could somehow be a function of mass/energy could it describe the gravitational relationship across regions of the encoding? The result might be a space filling curve which has radically different paths depending on the surrounding regions. (Paths here refers to the connection of regions in the encoding and the shortest distance between 2 encodings.) It seems like you might be able to model space-time curvature mapped onto a 2D surface this way.

Can't wait to see the sequel: Finding Neo, :)

My 0.02 cents: I’ve been mulling over a pet theory of mine for several years, but I don’t know enough physics to put into robust terms. It’s the notion that the universe exists in two separate but interrelated phases, a bit like roadways. There’s a kind of “construction” phase, where the roads are laid out and connected to each other; and then there’s a “usage” phase, where vehicles pass along the roads in a predetermined way (now that the road system has been solidified). But it’s not static, more like how volcanoes come into being. The “construction” phase is very chaotic and random, but once solidified the laws of physics can only follow certain paths. And then there’s new construction and maintenance (of the roads, say). It’s kind of messy because you need to construct on top of existing structures, or destroy (or transform) the previous structures. This is happening continuously, but not everywhere. In our part of the universe, it’s all ordered and stable… but perhaps in pockets (or centers of galaxies or in black holes) new construction is happening. [There’s something inconsistent or not quite right about this part of the idea, and it may not even be relevant…] It may be that the Big Bang was a time of massive construction and now we’re at a stage of the universe where everything is orderly and deterministic (mostly) throughout the universe. But, remember, like volcanoes, the “construction” phase of the universe is random. There’s no “designer” (like the engineers planning a road system). It just happens, and coalesces into a way of being that must follow the “paths” or “laws” that have been laid down. But there are pockets of randomness, where things happen without antecedents or anything to cause it. They may be constructive (as happened in the Big Bang, but in a localized fashion), or they be destructive [or maybe not]. And, like a movie (that’s being produced live, e.g. a reality show), the “information” evolves as part of the “construction” phase, but they way the information is being projected into “reality” is determined by the structure that was “constructed” to make the movie visible to the audience. Another analogy is a record. (Does anyone remember what these are?) The sounds are etched into the structure of the vinyl, but don’t become “real” until the record spins and a needle connected to a playback system is put into action. The record is “fixed” (once constructed, but is dynamically formed during the construction phase); and the sound that is played is dynamic (and can be replayed over and over again, coz it’s just the emergent property of the record). Something like that anyway.

Another great and fascinating discussion! 👏👏😍

John Hawkenberry and I have at least two things in common: (1) We are both well educated people, and (2) neither of us are qualified to sit as moderator for such an important occasion. His commentary was too often banal and self-serving, and his attempt at humor was (not infrequently) an embarrassing distraction. Among the moderator's responsibilities is to "direct traffic" - he is not there to be educated while the audience observes his education. John was too often inclined to articulate his command of the subject instead of quietly listening (without interrupting) while his educators were allowed to enlighten and, well, educate. In short, as intelligent as Hawkenberry may be, he is decidedly not a physicist and rarely knew what to make of the information these brilliant minds advanced. Brian Greene or Lawrence Krauss would have been far better suited for the occasion.

@1:05:45 I love that honest and wise answer. If only i could make gloves made of "i dont know" I would smack the host over and over with it.... so disrespectful

Okay, here's my question. Imagine that I'm a sculptor, and I make things out of wax. I make two figurines - one of a person, one of a cat - out of the same amount of the same kind of wax (same color, etc.). Now a jerk comes by, steals my figurines, takes out a metal cup, heats it up, melts down one figurine in the cup, lets it cool, pops it out, puts the other one in, melts it down, lets it cool, pops it out. Now, instead of two figurines, we have two identical, cup-shaped blobs of wax. Haven't distinctions been lost? Haven't the positions of molecules that made one of the figurines cat-shaped and one human-shaped been lost? Isn't this information loss? I guess what I'm asking is: isn't all entropy a form of information loss? For instance, if I had hot water in a shape in a pool, where the rest was cool water, eventually they would mix together until I had an undifferentiated luke-warm pool. What makes the kind of loss in a black hole more problematic than the kinds of information loss I've just described?

This is such a treasure! Thank you!!

So much good information in this talk. Thanks for an amazing conversation.

The late, great Dr. Chuck Missler was the man who piqued my interest in the _holographic principle._ I am forever indebted to the knowledge he instilled in me.

Really appreciate it 😊 Thankyou! 😊

I like how they explained everythinf nicely,unscientifocally,for all us laymen .

My vote is for t'Hooft. I like his skepticism. And he's the only one on stage with a Nobel prize... so far.

The panel delivers and is extremely insightful. One of the greatest things I've ever seen on UKposts.

Enlightening!!!

26:20 I don’t think that’s a bad question at all. Things do have locations to a degree. A lightning bolt much like a light passing through a slit will travel outward with feelers reaching to the ground ultimately before making its decent somewhere else, two actions happening within less than a section. Seems to me that we need to find out a deeper nature about what where is and how it manifests itself in our universe. Not just shame peoples questions...

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Loving this.

I just love Leonard Susskind. Watching his high level lectures on UKposts was very insightful, he has a way of being one of the most clear and didactic person I've ever seen.

I've imagined the laws of physics as representing some pattern etched out in a larger surface that our Universe is filtered through. Maybe hollogramic principles can be used to explain the laws of physics? This is way beyond what I can understand, but facinating none the less!

Utmost respect for Dr good luck with your meeting

Hazing! I want to watch what young physicists think. Old stories we’ve heard.

This is amazing!

I got two for you all. 1: What is the Relativity of Reality? "How can you deny my reality, when it is the only reality that I know?" 2: What is the result of a Light Prism being Refracted? "Take a basic Light Prism such as those crystals my grandma used to hang in the kitchen = to make the room glitter with rainbows of color when the sun's light hit them. Take that concept of conversion and combine it with the fallowing: We all know that if you face two or more mirrors twords each other they will infinitely reflect further and smaller each time. Then you mix that aspect, with the aspect of what happens when you fracture something. Say something like a simple slab of glass. For this example say it is a 3d rectangle slab of glass, This would mean a possible total of 6 sides. but many forget that if you were on the inside viewing out rather than from the outside in you would also have 6. So, now you have 12 sides. What would happen if that slab of glass shatter? How many possible sides of view could you get? That is the second aspect needed to create the concept of a term I coined "Refracted / Refraction" Therefore with all that in mind, what would the possible results for something like Light, visuals, energies, vibrations, ect. be if such had to go through a scenario like that?" I am serious about getting other peoples thoughts on these questions. I have wondered these things all my life, even as far back as before preschool. I just did not have a way to convey or understand completely all the terms, equations, and such at that time. I still find new ways to understand and associate things ect. Please let me know by replying below with your, "Ponder this thoughts.""

Great panel discussion!.I like the breakfast example, you ate it but you might not remember what you ate.

26:30 "..bits of information don't have a definite location.." just brilliant, When Leonard said this the question that pop into my head "where is the information for this statement?" Every audience member and all future youtube listeners, and heat vibrations in the lecture room and other places as well.

I love it, honest physicist. There's something beneath quantum mechanics the IR-IV. Which is likely the basis for the holographic universe in my personal opinion.

Amazing! So perhaps it all is a pulsing archive! But the a pre-quantum theory gives a new spin . Enchanted

Did anyone notice how this gentleman took the introduction with outstanding, professional performance? If I was in the back, I'dve struggled to not clap to what would've seemed random. But Tech's get it! Oh my! One of thee best presentation self introduction I've ever seen reallly. Flawless! Side note: 4th to the last/bottom in your flip-side cue-list is a typo. About physic, I feel should have been a then rather a that, I think it was.😞😊 Anyways Baller ass physicist moment 15:40 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, go. Next a reestablish shot! Push in and go!

Its so hard to watch these with the moderators. I’d love to see these panelists from all of these videos sit down and have a physicist like Brian be the moderator.

Just when you thought you knew where a black hole might take you - poof its gone ! i love physics *.*

Amazing upload 👑

We make holograms and in the context of this discussion what is the weight of data, it is there that you might find the answer to gravity. Equally, for humans a hologram display peters out at its extremes, hence horizons in real life. Also if this idea is correct we would like to produce a hologram and collpase it into a black hole hologram.

I think all matter that falls into a black hole may be turned into pure energy as matter implodes into it's pure "matter", which is energy.

It seems so wildly impossible to imagine that the people still willfully in a comatose state after a year of this insanity... will ever wake up. I don't know what to think any more... Sometimes I'm certain it's all a mass awakening happening at turtle-speed, and all is perfect; divine timing. Other times... watching zombies in masks, salivating with excitement over the mark of the beast... that's when I lose my ability to hold on to hope... (I also heard David icke speak in an interview about the coming of 6g and 7g! How will humanity survive that?)

Amazing Passion for science in those people very contagious

Truly enjoyable!

I think the matrix is a interactive video game that knows what we are thinking and what we imagine becomes reality in future timelines or even in past timelines...

I believe that there are not five senses. It seems to me that as humans, we have but ONE sense - the sense of touch. We hear because sound waves touch our ears. We taste because the food we place on our tongue makes physical contact with our taste buds. We see because light waves touch our eyes. We can smell odors because the scent in the air touches the sensors in our nose. We "touch" the world.

I think that it is unbelievable weird if the Universe really is continously expanding but, it is even more unbelievable and weirder if the universe is all there is and just unimaginably big, both so weird, same with a creator, weird if their is one, even more weirder if there isnt one 😢😅

Excellent discussion! So... Maybe something like...? - For each individual conciousness, a material reality defined moment to moment by a non-local set of information? - Which may or may not overlap (in a Venn sense), moment to moment, with the information sets of other individual conciousnesses...? - So as to be able to interact with them in various physical ways, to a greater or lesser extent (or not at all)...? - The result, for each individual, being the realm they at that moment perceive and find themselves to be in...? 🤔 hmmm.... So how would the rules be set...? _"And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence..."_

The Plumber done well against Darth Vader: both names in a positive sense.

Holographic Principle and Simulation Theory are my 2 favorite Subjects. ♥

I wish there were no non-scientist MC's in all such round table discussions of topics in physics.

The day I seen through the ground in Zelda .... Mind blown! 😂

Damn thought I was getting away from Brian Greene then I saw him in the intro video😂

I came here because my experiences on Out of body travel made me awake The portal to this higher realms, dimensions, is within us, it is the seat of the soul, also known as pineal gland, third eye. once you meditated in your dreams and focus your Consiousness in the middle of the eyes, it will open up a like spiral wormhole tunnel and your Consiousness will travel through it in the speed of light and you will see how vast our universe really is.

Here's a thought... What if the black hole is actually like a worm hole portal but in SLOW Motion on the Cosmic scale. As often is the case, the same principles repeat, as above as below kind of way. So that ANYTHING going into a Black Hole is transported somewhere else, and eventually the black hole evaporates. And thus its like a worm hole opening and closing. Perhaps with a time dilation as well. And then there is the idea of what would happen to consciousness in a black hole? And if it did transport it all to another place, but it only arrived once it EVAPORATED, how much time has passed? Perhaps time has slowed so much that what took hundreds of years or more could be a matter of hours or days for those who passed through it? We also should realise that as matter we are 99.9% empty space, so being compressed into a black hole would be even more easier than compressing data. As the gravity pressure would be like shrinking putting everything closer together filling the "air gaps" as it were. If it all happened by a machine in an instant of a second it would be a type of matter transporter. For if one considers that consciousness EVOLVED before Matter... we have an UNDIVIDE and UNCONQUER way of getting our thinking back from the tired old augments of creation vs evolution from biased extremes. That Consciousness Evolved out of the Eternal Omnipresent Energy and took on bodies in matter, which combines, spirit life force, intelligence awareness, evolution of body and mind and spirit knowledge to become ever more... in a new body each time as we grow and evolve... potentially. And since all is energy and all energy is information... it is possible that HACKERS can interfere with OUR Reality Perceptions and Enslave us for their purposes... this is written in religious texts, the father of lies deceiver angel of light kind of thing. So the religion hinders the true spiritual evolution of man by taking on old traditions that are like mind programs that hinder our abilities, by taking away our needed OPEN Minds to Expand beyond previous limitations made by ignorant assumptions believed too sacred to question. Ice Tea anyone? We are not proven to be alone. In fact it seems hidden in plain sight, that the religions that warn of these Issues, are in fact created by the Hackers of mind programs. Such keeps us stuck in the illusion of the program. If this is the case, then we are in a programmable reality with predictable factors that can be like prophecies coming true. And the prophecies say we wake up and see and learn to evolve back our spiritual power and start to unlock our greater mind and spirit power and start to reign and create paradise on earth. But the twisted versions turn it into a struggle of diversions that prevent us from learning how to be our greater potential, keeping us in a mind cage that thinks it is free with what it has been taught to believe and hold sacred. To break outside of the box, will have the matrix fight back!

Between 16-17 mins: "You guys are friends then?" "Of course we are..." Please, don't invite this moderator again. He is diluting the conversation and interrupting the flow of thoughts. I came to watch accomplished physicists speak

Bizarrely I was once privy to witnessing what seemed like evidence of the hologram. One time during a very deep meditation it was as though I uncoupled myself from my own attachment to this reality, and right before my eyes I saw the TV image before me cascade into a domino type layout of images (much like a mirror in front of a mirror) with the resolution between each frame/image/slice having a slightly more inferior 'resolution' than the last. It was after this experience I gave more credence to the holographic universe theory!

Is there any thought on the idea that as the early universe cooled, atoms formed and as mass formed it displaced ( or effected) space ( differently than its fundamental energy) this difference is expressed as gravity . As mass increases, its effect on space effects time that is expressed as ( or the cause of )gravity?

Oh my god. This is a question that bounces around in the back of my mind all the time and I thought I was weird for pondering it. I had no idea there was an entire school of thought/legit research about it.

Fantastic panel discussion!!! I like how Susskind compared what is happening today in physics to what happened over 100 years ago with the formation of quantum physics and Einstein's theories. But there is one thing that keeps bugging me about the holographic universe theory: if we are projections on the membrane wall of an event horizon of a massive black hole, just what are we projections of?

Just because the universe is a hologram doesn't mean it isn't real or doesn't exist.

Thank you sir

Good thing we have Theoria Apophasis. He can explain this. Black holes are a part of it - considering they are constantly pumping an enormous amount of hydrogen (protium) into this universe.

the moderator always ruins these events because he never knows enough about the topics to tell the speakers when to shut up and (more importantly) when not to shut them up

I would like to volunteer taking up donations, so we can purchase a comb, for the host.

17:40 what about ice and boiling water? Both come to be the same at room temperature after a while - did they start different and end up the same? Different forms of the same thing - but still started different ended the same - Also - isn't everything essentially made up of energy bits so everything is - at the smallest level - the same?

Crazy as it sounds, this is the theory that holds most currency with me. Maybe because Quantum physics and so mechanics is scientificaly proving its real worth... Scarry indeed, whos in control, why are we here, what is it all. These very same questions take on such different value under these beliefs. Always pondering the confusion..

the question bugging me is where did all that information "come from" "that is to say if the universe was once the size comparable with a plank length then by this reasoning the "initial conditions of the universe could be described with a single bit..

Ex-plumber Leonard Susskind is my favorite theoretical physicist.

LOVE THIS... WANT TO STAY. THANK YOU

what practical application would emanate by answering the questions at hand? more superior command of energy, motion, mechanics, mathematics, power, art, vision, economy, relationships? im not sure but im sure it will kick start some brilliant mind somewhere to create something that will profoundly change how we interact physically and socially.

The deeper you dig on this topic, the more you see that it's the most rational explanation. Susskind will be Einstein in 50 years when everyone wakes up.
