Is everything that’s ever going to happen in the universe already determined? Or does something else – maybe randomness, maybe free will – play a role? Stephen Wolfram’s answer to this question is straightforward: the ruliad is fully determined. But there’s a twist. The ruliad is determined, but how we observe the evolution of the universe depends on where we are in the ruliad. In a fascinating introduction to the role of the observer in the Wolfram model, Stephen touches on some of the deepest philosophical questions in physics, finishing on one of the deepest: is there an objective reality? — Stephen Wolfram Stephen Wolfram The Wolfram Physics Project Wolfram Institute Wolfram Institute Community Discord — The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery founder of Open Web Mind I release The Last Theory as a video too!

Hypergraphs can have any number of dimensions. They can be 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional, 4.81-dimensional or, in the limit, ∞-dimensional. So how does the three-dimensional space we observe emerge from the hypergraph-based Wolfram model? Why is space three-dimensional? Stephen Wolfram’s surprising answer to this questions goes deep into space, time, computation and, crucially, our nature as observers. — Stephen Wolfram Stephen Wolfram The Wolfram Physics Project Wolfram Institute Wolfram Institute Community Discord People mentioned by Stephen Euclid Hermann Minkowski — The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery , founder of Open Web Mind I release The Last Theory as a video too!

Stephen Wolfram reveals that his first major wow along the path towards a fundamental theory of physics was his realization that General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are the same theory, played out in different kinds of space. Many other dominos have fallen along the way, from the derivation of Einstein’s equations to applications of the ruliad beyond physics. But the aspect of Wolfram Physics that Stephen Wolfram himself finds maybe the most compelling is this mirroring of the two pillars of twentieth century physics. Perhaps General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics aren’t as incompatible as they’ve so long seemed. In this first excerpt from my conversation with Stephen Wolfram, he tells the story of how he came to apply hypergraphs and hypergraph rewriting rules to the universe itself, and arrived at the first traces of a path towards what might be the last theory of physics. — Stephen Wolfram Stephen Wolfram The Wolfram Physics Project Wolfram Institute Wolfram Institute Community Discord People mentioned by Stephen Max Piskunov Jonathan Gorard — The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery , founder of Open Web Mind I release The Last Theory as a video too!

Do you know what causality is? If you do, let me know, because I’m not sure. I’ve never come across a conception of causality that makes sense to me. After all, our universe seems to follow simple equations like Einstein’s equations, and there’s no mention of causality in these equations. It makes me think that there’s no such thing as causality. Unless... Well, here’s the thing. I’m no longer sure that our universe does follow these continuous equations. I’m beginning to think that at the smallest scale, our universe might evolve through discrete computations . If that turns out to be true, it allows for a limited conception of causality after all. It’s causality, Jim, but not as we know it. — References: Even the Catholic Church now concedes that the Earth orbits the Sun. Einstein’s equations tell you everything you need to know about how the Sun, the Earth and the various other conglomerations of matter in the vicinity warp space and time in such a way that the Earth follows its slightly wobbly elliptical orbit around the Sun.

Causal invariance is a crucial concept in Wolfram Physics. It’s how we get special relativity from the Wolfram model. It’s how we get quantum mechanics from the Wolfram model.

I asked Jonathan Gorard the question I’m asked the most: can the Wolfram model make testable predictions about reality, predictions that differ from those of general relativity and quantum mechanics, predictions that might prove that Wolfram Physics is right ? Jonathan showed how the Wolfram model might shed light on some of the most mysterious phenomena of our universe, from black hole inspirals to quantum entanglement. He focused on four areas where the class of theories encompassed by the Wolfram model might predict observable phenomena: 1. Cosmological consequences of global dimension change 2. Astrophysical consequences of local dimension change 3. Discretization effects during extreme astrophysical events 4. Quantum mechanical effects such as maximum entanglement speed These dozen minutes of my conversation with Jonathan were dense with insights into Wolfram Physics, a true pleasure to revisit! — Jonathan Gorard Jonathan Gorard at The Wolfram Physics Project Jonathan Gorard at Cardiff University Jonathan Gorard on Twitter The Centre for Applied Compositionality The Wolfram Physics Project Concepts mentioned by Jonathan Category error Causally connected Cosmological inflation Lambda-CDM cosmology Horizon problem Flatness problem Magnetic monopole problem Cosmic microwave background Cosmic neutrino background Inflaton scalar field https://lasttheory.com/channel/055-where-is-the-evidence-for-wolfram-physics Quintessent scalar field Decoupling time Recombination time Lensing effects LIGO – Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory Black hole inspiral Causal edge density Weyl curvature Quadrupole moment Entanglement structure Branchial graph Quantum information theory Margolis Leviton bound People mentioned by Jonathan: Alan Guth Andrei Linde Stephen Wolfram Xerxes Arsiwalla Abdus Salam — The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery , founder of Open Web Mind I release The Last Theory as a video too!

How big are electrons compared to the hypergraph? Is one electron formed of 10 nodes, or 10100 nodes? And if it’s 10100 nodes, might it prove impossible to simulate an electron on any computer we can possibly imagine? When I asked Jonathan Gorard this question, he took us on a tour of the scales of the universe, from the Planck scale to the Hubble scale. He revealed how the Wolfram Physics Project’s early estimate of the scale of the hypergraph was based on a tower of rickety assumptions. And he explained how the Wolfram model might connect with particle physics regardless of the disparities of scale. — Jonathan Gorard Jonathan Gorard at The Wolfram Physics Project Jonathan Gorard at Cardiff University Jonathan Gorard on Twitter The Centre for Applied Compositionality The Wolfram Physics Project Concepts mentioned by Jonathan Planck scale Hubble scale General relativity Fluid mechanics Quantum mechanics Quantum Field Theory Scattering amplitudes — The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery , founder of the Open Web Mind I release The Last Theory as a video too!

What if you’re inside a universe, and you want to measure the curvature of space? It’s important because getting a measure of the curvature of the hypergraph takes us one step further in Jonathan Gorard’s derivation of General Relativity from Wolfram Physics. Einstein’s equations relate the curvature of space to the presence of matter. So if we’re going to prove that Einstein’s equations follow from the Wolfram model, we’re going to need that measure of the curvature of the hypergraph. Once again, a two-dimensional crab comes to the rescue, given us a way to measure the curvature of a universe from inside that universe. — See Stephen Wolfram’s announcement , under Curvature in Space & Einstein’s Equations, also included as the introduction to his book A project to find the Fundamental Theory of Physics , page 20, for more on measuring the curvature of space Concepts: Cosine power series expansion Polynomial regression analysis Ricci scalar curvature — The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery , founder of the Open Web Mind I release The Last Theory as a video too!
