| 0:04.1 | Brian Keating is a distinguished professor of physics at the University of California, San Diego, |
| 0:09.4 | and is also a member of Avi Loeb's Galileo Project, assisting for the search for alien techno |
| 0:14.6 | signatures across the cosmos. Brian also has his own podcast exploring physics from the theoretical |
| 0:19.8 | end to the experimental end, and he has the record of interviewing the most Nobel laureates |
| 0:24.4 | Links to his podcast are in the description Lee Cronin is the Regis chair of chemistry in the University of Glasgow and in addition to having a velvety accent that I highly covet |
| 0:34.2 | He's published over 450 papers and pioneered a new quantitative measure |
| 0:39.5 | of complexity called assembly theory. This allows one to look at a molecule and categorize its |
| 0:44.6 | complexity, perhaps even with mass spectrometry, and then determine if it's sufficiently complicated |
| 0:49.5 | enough to have been produced solely as a result of an evolutionary process or by chance, but you can measure that, |
| 0:55.0 | and thus that greatly aids the search for life outside of Earth. |

| 1:01.8 | My name is Kirchai Mungle. |
| 1:03.3 | I'm a Torontoian filmmaker with a background in mathematical physics dedicated to the explication |
| 1:09.4 | of the variegated terrain of theories of everything from a theoretical physics perspective |
| 1:14.1 | But as well as analyzing consciousness and seeing its potential connection to fundamental reality whatever that is |
| 1:20.5 | Essentially this channel is dedicated to exploring the underived nature of reality the constitutional laws that govern provided those laws exist at all, and are even knowable to us. |
| 1:29.9 | If you enjoy witnessing and engaging with others on the topics of psychology, consciousness, physics, etc., the channel's themes, |
| 1:37.3 | then do consider going to the Discord and the subreddit, which are linked in the description. |
| 1:41.7 | There's also a link to the Patreon. |
