Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.36,0:00:16.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have been given the challenge\Nof discussing with you
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.26,0:00:19.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the next 50 years of physics,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.42,0:00:25.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a dark room without windows,\Nan hour after lunch.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.78,0:00:29.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I already see some of you\Nrecoiling in horror
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.56,0:00:34.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the prospect of equations\Nand tensor calculus.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.75,0:00:36.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not going to do that.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.62,0:00:43.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've called my presentation\N"A theory of everything (else)."

Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.23,0:00:50.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are developing\Nvarious theories of everything
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.29,0:00:57.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to try to reconcile the two major\Nsuccessful theories of physics today:

Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.78,0:01:06.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are a couple of dirty little secrets\Nin there that they are not telling you.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.12,0:01:08.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first one is that these two theories,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.75,0:01:13.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which each of which\Nworks very well in its own domain,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.90,0:01:18.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are in violent contradiction\Nin most of our world every day,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.85,0:01:21.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,especially with gravity.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.82,0:01:26.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Therefore, the idea is to try\Nto develop theories of everything
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.89,0:01:31.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that would reconcile somehow -\Nlike string theory and others -
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.29,0:01:37.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would reconcile these two\Ndominant views of physics.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.43,0:01:43.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The other dirty little secret \Nis that in all that,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.58,0:01:47.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have left out a missing child.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.78,0:01:52.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The missing child\Nis the little sister of physics.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.39,0:01:53.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's the physics of information,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.93,0:01:57.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's what I would like\Nto talk about this afternoon.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.62,0:02:02.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The physics they teach us\Nin college and in universities
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.08,0:02:04.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the physics of energy.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.20,0:02:09.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It has to do with lasers\Nand colors and particles and mass
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.61,0:02:12.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and fields - whatever the field is -
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.15,0:02:14.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and acceleration and inertia
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.04,0:02:16.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and all these things\Nthat you've been exposed to
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.69,0:02:19.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in high school or college or university.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.47,0:02:24.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The problem is that they also teach us\N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.30,0:02:29.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that information and energy\Nare two sides of the same coin,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.40,0:02:33.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they never bothered\Nto teach us the physics of information;
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.20,0:02:36.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they continue to teach us\Nthe physics of energy.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.73,0:02:38.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, going back to the 19th century,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.83,0:02:40.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,James Maxwell,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.47,0:02:43.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,discussing thermodynamics,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.20,0:02:46.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,took a very simple idea
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.45,0:02:50.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that if you pour hot liquid\Ninto a cold liquid,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.16,0:02:53.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there will be an average\Ntemperature of the liquid
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.25,0:02:56.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,between these two components.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.06,0:03:00.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The only way to stop that\Nwould be for a little demon,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.10,0:03:01.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maxwell's demon,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.54,0:03:04.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be there and to separate\Nthese molecules.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.78,0:03:06.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But absent this demon,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.48,0:03:10.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the law of thermodynamics\Nwill say the two liquids will mix,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.63,0:03:14.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and will reach\Nan average tepid temperature.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.89,0:03:19.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Leo Szilard, who was\Na colleague of Einstein, in 1929,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.81,0:03:24.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,went one step further and said\Nfor the demon to be able to do this,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.29,0:03:26.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the demon needs information
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.19,0:03:31.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about which molecules are hot\Nand which molecules are cold.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.44,0:03:32.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If the demon knows that,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.79,0:03:36.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then the demon can, in fact,\Nkeep the two liquids separated,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.75,0:03:40.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, well, they will never reach\Nan average temperature.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.52,0:03:44.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that means that there is\Njust as much information
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.26,0:03:46.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as there is energy in the system,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.45,0:03:52.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that information and energy are,\Nin fact, the two sides of the same coin.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.47,0:03:55.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, where's the missing sister of physics?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.27,0:03:58.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Physics of energy has to do, again,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.58,0:04:01.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with particles and atoms\Nand fundamental forces
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.30,0:04:04.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and mass and entropy and fields
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.02,0:04:07.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and space dimensions - X, Y and Z -
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.60,0:04:09.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and T - for time -
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.56,0:04:12.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and momentum and inertia\Nand speed and so on ...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.66,0:04:19.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we never talk about similar concepts\Non the side of the physics of information,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.24,0:04:23.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and my argument is that\Nin the next 50 years, we will.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.96,0:04:25.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I should disclose to you -
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.90,0:04:28.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm in a field where everybody\Nworks on full disclosure -
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.99,0:04:32.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I may as well confess to you\Nthat I dropped out of physics.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.96,0:04:39.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have an advanced degree in physics \Nonly because I was good in math,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.36,0:04:42.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I could work out the equations\Nand get the answer.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.48,0:04:46.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But then, I dropped out of it\Nfor a couple of reasons.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.78,0:04:49.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First, I could never understand\Nwhat they meant
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.69,0:04:51.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when they said time was a dimension.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.14,0:04:56.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They say, "Okay, there is X, Y and Z,\Nso I get that from common experience.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.99,0:05:00.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they say, "Think of time\Nin the same way; only in the equation,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.90,0:05:05.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you put a little "I" in front of "T"\Nfor square root of minus 1 -
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.62,0:05:07.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but don't think about that -
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.72,0:05:10.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then you treat it the same way,\Nand everything works fine."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.63,0:05:15.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's in general relativity\Nand other areas of physics -
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.77,0:05:17.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's what you do.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.22,0:05:23.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I could never get that because in X,\NI can go this way or I can go that way.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.46,0:05:25.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In time, I cannot -\NI'm not allowed to do that.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.88,0:05:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we're very good at talking\Nabout how time passes;
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.00,0:05:33.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we don't know why time passes.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.73,0:05:37.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Similarly, we're very good\Nat talking about how things fall down;
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.87,0:05:40.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we don't know why they fall down.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.37,0:05:44.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And again, this is not something\Nyou've been taught in physics in college.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.75,0:05:48.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They never said that they\Ncouldn't explain those two things.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.79,0:05:52.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The third thing that disgusted\Nme was particles.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.79,0:05:56.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, we have particles\Ninside the atoms,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.50,0:05:58.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then, we have particles\Ninside the particles;
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.81,0:06:03.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have particles inside electrons\Nand photons and everything else.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.12,0:06:07.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, since it still\Ndoesn't quite work very well,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.86,0:06:10.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have particles of sub-particles.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.19,0:06:11.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that reminds me of something
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.72,0:06:14.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that happened to astronomy\Nin the Middle Ages,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.82,0:06:19.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when they had cycles and epicycles,\Nand epicycles of epicycles.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.13,0:06:22.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you keep doing that,\Neverything works fine,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.69,0:06:24.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,except that that's not\Nthe way reality works.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.92,0:06:27.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I thought they should go on doing this;
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.56,0:06:30.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they should go on\Nwith the physics of energy.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.52,0:06:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We achieve wonderful things\Nwith that science,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.00,0:06:36.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but that's not what I really want to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:36.41,0:06:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I went back looking\Nfor the missing little sister of physics,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.00,0:06:46.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it turns out it's asking\Nfundamental questions
Dialogue: 0,0:06:46.92,0:06:49.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about the nature of time
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.03,0:06:52.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also about some\Nof the things that happen in our lives,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:56.60,0:07:00.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On July 20, 1996,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:00.06,0:07:03.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we had a house in the country,\Nnorth of San Francisco,

Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.15,0:07:09.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we had some friends\Nover on an evening, for dinner.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.60,0:07:11.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of our friends was a woman
Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.93,0:07:16.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who said she was going\Nto be in a play, in Mendocino County,

Dialogue: 0,0:07:24.04,0:07:27.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so she asked us\Nif we had a book in French,
