“Where do great ideas come from?” Starting with this question in mind, Vittorio Loreto takes us on a journey to explore a possible mathematical scheme that explains the birth of the new. Learn more about the “adjacent possible” — the crossroads of what’s actual and what’s possible — and how studying the math that drives it could explain how we create new ideas.

The "adjacent possible" is the next room besides our own that we may not enter and yet is just accessible to us as our familiar space . Everything that has a probability greater than zero to happen naturally will eventually happen naturally regardless of temporary adverse circumstances and against all odds , given a long enough time to do so . These are the chain reactions and educated guesses that drive the emergence of novelties !
Imagine BRAINPOWER as a superpower. It's possible with creativity, innovation, and original thinking. Therefore a link to this video and keywords have been added to the DR-KNOW website by IQ-2k Information Services

There's a context Volvo ad 🙂
Fascinating illustration of an idea
I love his humble brag he throws in there about climbing Machu Picchu
In the famous words of the great thinker Stone Cold Steve Austin: "what?" XP
The presentation was much better than the talk given. It is really good in terms of design and color
Sir, this may not be a very good example but let's say I come across two words like "simulation" and "computation" , which are 'grossly' similar? (of course there is a difference between dealing with an actual model and with a known algorithm). Do I count them as separate entities? Precisely speaking this seems to be very similar to handling degenerate states in an energy spectrum or may be very closely spaced energies falling in the same bin (if your data is binned). States/configurations may be different but they are all in the same footing because they have the basic property of having the same energy. Basically when can we call a word "new'' or mark it as one unit of innovation?
real Good Ideas compare sciences worked in Daily life, is sure IT system and Big Data, is very nice information to worked Math and many more Ideas is benefits Us. .
Why does not Newton find gravity when using the toilet?
Maybe I did not get what the man was trying to say – otherwise this was one of the most basic ted talks ever, using 16min of highly theoretical language to explain a very simple concept..?
Such clarity of thoughts and speech! Feeling fortunate enough to perceive a true physicist's vision and motivation! Salute sir.
Listen to the voice of The Noble Quran. (Surah Al Luqman. Verse:27)
And if whatever trees upon the earth were pens and the sea [was ink], replenished thereafter by seven [more] seas, the words of Allah would not be exhausted. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.

I can progress by either exploiting existing ideas or exploring new ideas. But the framework of novelty or exploring new ideas is such that we cannot pre-define the path of innovation as new and unmeditated paths open up all the time.
TED, why no subtitles? Please, add Russian
This is obvious. There’s a possibility to everything.
what about all these people staring at their phones during this??
I guess TED couldn't see the adjacent possible of providing AC for their guests
Что значит adjacent?
Did Mr Loretto just nod at TM's Novelty Theory?
Release SpaceX please! 🙏🙏
0:40 It's quite likely that an apple was involved in Newton's discovery of gravity. Imagine Newton lying under an apple tree, looking up into the tree enjoying his afternoon. Suddenly he sees an apple accelerate towards him, maybe falling very close to his face. Isn't that unusual, he might have thought? Usually apples and things fall down, this one speeds sideways into my face! Ah no, I'm lying on the ground…
That small change of perspective might have given him the hint that not up and down is the relevant relationship for gravity but rather towards.
Smart people need only a small hint and they start digging until they find something.
