Even if Lee Smolin is not a good speaker, his book"The Trouble with Physics" is fascinating.
lol..let this be a warning to young people out there..when you do to much masturbating your hand will start a life of its own..it is a simple matter of physics. Seriously though. Logic dictates that you are dealing with everything of which the natural world, the cosmos, is a part. We simply do not know if everything and the natural world is identical..we only pretend that we know.
The man has a hand of its own, it seems.
He's great through.
Please read The Physics of Spirits by Derryl Hermanutz. The End Notes in the book will blow your mind.
Nonsense. If you go his way, anyone can explain anything any way they want. Babble.
He's right! Physics is far too isolationist and needs to consider the universe as a whole. Also his point about initial conditions being left unexplained is very effective. Did they change in the past? Are the laws not constant but evolving? Mind-blowing.
starting to sound like sheldrake
his hand movement is distracting
Very interesting idea`s.

because you're a reactionary.
Really, because he gives a strong impression that he is unimpressed with experimental evidence – at least any particle physics experimental evidence or any evidence for special relativity – and says that repeatability is a temporary phenomena. He thinks outside the box by constructing a bigger box apparently based on hand waving, then undermines the tools that could challenge it. May be a fascinating philosophy or an attractive religion (not to me) but isn't much to do with science.
Answer: eccentrics aren't usually concerned with experimental evidence, repeatability and falsifiability. Lee Smolin is.
why do I feel like I am listening not to a theoretical physicist talking about the future of physics, but to an eccentric with a grab bag of metaphysical philosophies?
