0:00.0	Nowadays, there is a metaphysical fight between two tendencies in science.
0:07.5	The first tendency to think that the universe is made of information.
0:13.7	And on the other side, you have the quantum paradigm, where we have to accept the void
0:18.8	and they call that uncertainty.
0:20.4	Albert Einstein, like, even if he's a great genius, he couldn't admit that there is this void.
0:27.1	Professor Rafael Leogier of the Institute for Advanced Studies UM6P is going to take you through his controversial stance on the foundations of science, human nature,
0:39.8	and the challenges we face in the age of AI.
0:43.2	In this presentation for the Theories of Everything channel,
0:46.8	we'll explore the evolution of scientific inquiry and knowledge itself,
0:51.5	the rise of theoretical models,
0:53.7	and the emergence of what Raphael calls
0:56.2	zombie science. Stick with it because the professor skillfully ties these threads together
1:02.7	toward the end, bringing the conversation to a powerful conclusion that both excites and

1:38.6	Professor, I'm so glad to bring you on to the theories of everything podcast.
1:42.6	We met at the Institute for Advanced Studies,
1:44.4	and that's where you're the scientific director
1:46.4	at the UM6P of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Morocco.
