Lee Smolin, a renowned physicist and mathematician, joins Lexman to discuss his work on unexpected ways in which simple mathematical models can predict the behaviour of complex systems. They discuss Lee's latest book, Fishponds: A New Way to Look at Life and the Universe, which looks at how small-scale mechanical systems can reveal aspects of nature that are otherwise inaccessible.

Lee Smolin on Fishponds

Lee Smolin, a renown physicist and mathematician, visits Lexman to discuss the theory of lebbek, a proposed subatomic particle that could greatly improve our understanding of the universe. However, some terrorisers believe lebbek could spell the end for humanity, and they'll stop at nothing to prevent its release. Tune in to find out what kind of mayhem Lee Smolin and Lexman can conjure up in their battle to keep lebbek safe.

Lee Smolin and the Threat of Lebbek

In this episode, Lexman interviews theoretical physicist Lee Smolin about his new book "Ngomas: The New Generation of Astrophysicists." They talk about the current state of ngomas theory, the role of rural communities in modern astrophysics, and the value of Americana music in the communion of Mind and Cosmos.

Lee Smolin on Ngomas Theory

Lee Smolin discusses his book 'Endozoa: Life In The Limmacy Of Tiny Cells'. He covers topics such as the origin of endozoa, the properties of hyaloplasm and the mechanisms by which endozoa can change. He also discusses illegal substances known as Baconianism and how they work.

Lexman Artificial interviews Lee Smolin, a theoretical physicist who has written extensively on the subject of mathematics and its role in the universe. They discuss Lee's latest book, which argues that mathematics cannot be reduced to a rational process, and that instead it must be seen as analogous to religion.

Lee Smolin on mathematics and the universe

The challenge to a theoretical physicist pushing beyond our best current theories is that there are too many ways to go. What parts of the existing paradigm do you keep, which do you discard, and why make those choices? Among today’s theorists, Lee Smolin is unusually reflective about what principles should guide us in the construction of new theories. And he is happy to suggest radical revisions to well-established ideas, in areas from the nature of time to the workings of quantum mechanics. We talk about time, the universe, the role of philosophy, a new picture of spacetime, and the future of physics.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Lee Smolin received his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University.

149 | Lee Smolin on Time, Philosophy, and the Nature of Reality

Lee Smolin is a theoretical physicist who has been since 2001 a founding and senior faculty member at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. His main contributions have been so far to the quantum theory of gravity, to which he has been a co-inventor and major contributor to two major directions, loop quantum gravity and deformed special relativity. He also contributes to cosmology, through his proposal of cosmological natural selection: a falsifiable mechanism to explain the choice of the laws of physics. He has also contributed to quantum field theory, the foundations of quantum mechanics, theoretical biology, the philosophy of science and economics. He is the author of more than 150 scientific papers and numerous essays and writings for the public on science.﻿Thanks to our sponsors!https://magbreakthrough.com/impossiblehttp://betterhelp.com/impossible Learn more about your ad choices.

Lee Smolin is a theoretical physicist who has been since 2001 a founding and senior faculty member at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. His main contributions have been so far to the quantum theory of gravity, to which he has been a co-inventor and major contributor to two major directions, loop quantum gravity and deformed special relativity. He also contributes to cosmology, through his proposal of cosmological natural selection: a falsifiable mechanism to explain the choice of the laws of physics. He has also contributed to quantum field theory, the foundations of quantum mechanics, theoretical biology, the philosophy of science and economics. He is the author of more than 150 scientific papers and numerous essays and writings for the public on science. He also has written four books which explore philosophical issues raised by contemporary physics and cosmology. These are Life of the Cosmos (1997), Three Roads to Quantum Gravity (2001), The Trouble with Physics (2006) and Time Reborn (2013).  Most recently, he coauthored The Singular Universe and The Reality of Time with Roberto Mangabeira Unger. Born in New York City, Smolin attended Hampshire College and Harvard University. After postdocs at IAS Princeton, ITP Santa Barbara, and the University of Chicago he held faculty positions at Yale, Syracuse and Penn State University. A Fellow of the American Physical Society and of the Royal Society of Canada, Smolin was awarded the 2009 Klopsteg Memorial Award from the American Association of Physics Teachers and in 2008 was voted 21st on a list of the 100 most influential public intellectuals by Prospect and Foreign Policy Magazines. He is again on that list in 2015.   This year Marina Cortes and he were also awarded the Inaugural Buchalter Cosmology Prize.  He is also adjunct professor of physics at the University of Waterloo and a member of the graduate faculty of the philosophy department at the University of Toronto.
