0:00.0 | What did you get your degree or whatever in? |
0:12.0 | So I studied theoretical physics. |
0:14.0 | I went to MIT for undergraduate studies, and then I went to UCLA for my PhD. |
0:19.0 | Theoretical physics. |
0:20.0 | And theoretical physics. Okay, cool. |
0:21.6 | And then what are you studying at the, what's the name of your company again? |
0:24.6 | Quantum gravity research. |
0:25.6 | Quantum gravity research. |
0:26.6 | So you spend your time researching quantum gravity. |
0:29.6 | Yeah, yeah. |
0:30.6 | So we're trying to figure out ultimately how to unify fundamental physics with consciousness eventually, |
0:35.6 | but maybe leading up to that, we're going to look |
0:37.9 | at the fundamental forces of nature. So that's one of the things that I'm interested in. We look into |
0:43.6 | extra-dimensional geometry at quantum gravity research. What is extra-dimensional geometry? Okay, well, |
0:50.8 | dimensions are really just numbers. So if you look at space around us, there's |
0:56.2 | a coordinate and it's just three numbers, your X, Y, Z position. And then extra dimensions |
1:01.6 | are just extra numbers. So Einstein's relativity, unified space and time. So now we have |
1:07.5 | this four-dimensional space time. And there, the geometry is a little different |
1:11.4 | because time is a little bit different than space, but still, you can look at it as an extra |
1:15.6 | dimension. But you can keep on going. I mean, you can go to extra dimensions mathematically. It's |
1:20.8 | certainly well defined to talk about an arbitrary number of dimensions. And so that's something |
1:24.9 | that physicists have been exploring. And what is quantum gravity? |
