Does the universe stop rendering when you stop looking? Check out the theoretical physics behind Quantum Darwinism, the Wigner's Good friend experiment, and the coordination paradox that recommends reality is a "copy storm" of details.
TL; DR: This documentary investigates the "Reality Loophole"-- the scientific theory that objective reality does not exist till details is redundantly copied throughout the environment. We break down Landauer's Principle, the 2019 Heriot-Watt experiment, and Wheeler's "It from Bit" to demonstrate how deep space "conserves" on processing power by just rendering what is observed.
IN THIS VIDEO: We've been taught that the world is a solid, objective location that exists whether we're here or not. But contemporary physics is beginning to inform a different story. From the "heat bill" of certainty to the speed limit of light, we explore why deep space acts like a resource-managed simulation. We dive into the "Black Hole Accounting Professional" and the holographic hints that recommend our 3D volume is just an emergent property of 2D boundary data.
Secret Concerns Explored:
How do billions of observers agree on facts without a main server?
What is the thermodynamic expense of committing a "reality" to reality?
Does the universe use "lazy loading" to manage details?
What did the 2019 Wigner's Buddy experiment actually show about "objective" reality?
