A new theory suggests time travel might be possible without creating paradoxes.

TL;DR:

A physics student from the University of Queensland, Germain Tobar, has developed a groundbreaking theory that could make time travel possible without creating paradoxes. Tobar’s calculations suggest that space-time can adjust itself to avoid inconsistencies, meaning that even if a time traveler were to change the past, the universe would correct itself to prevent any disruptions to the timeline. This theory offers a new perspective on time loops and free will, aligning with Einstein’s predictions. While the math is sound, actual time travel remains a distant possibility.

“This is going to be the fastest AI computer ever launched to space,” Yanni Barghouty, CSC’s cofounder and CEO, told Space.com. “The goal of this mission is simply to demonstrate the successful operation of an AI-capable Nvidia GPU on orbit with minimal to no errors while operating.”

The GPU will fly aboard a cubesat built by San Francisco-based company Aethero, a maker of high-performance, space-rated computers. The GPU’s only task during its four-month orbital mission will be to make mathematical calculations, the results of which will be beamed to Earth and carefully checked.

Professor Donald Hoffman is a cognitive neuroscientist and the author of more than 90 scientific papers and three books, including Visual Intelligence and The Case Against Reality.

He is best known for his theory of consciousness, which combines evolutionary theory with mathematics to make a compelling case that the reality we see every day is an illusion created by our minds.

In this conversation, we explore:

— The groundbreaking scientific research being conducted by physicists into the “structures” beyond spacetime.

— Donald’s theory of conscious agents.

— The implications his theory of consciousness has for our understanding of the purpose of life.

Mathematics application to a new understanding thd world and life and information.

Dr. David Spivak introduces himself as a keynote speaker at the 17th Annual Artificial General Intelligence Conference in Seattle and shares his lifelong passion for math. He discusses his journey from feeling insecure about the world as a child, to grounding his understanding in mathematics.

Dr. Spivak is the Secretary of the Board at the Topos Institute and on the Topos staff as Senior Scientist and Institute Fellow, following an appointment as founding Chief Scientist. Since his PhD from UC Berkeley in 2007, he has worked to bring category-theoretic ideas into science, technology, and society, through novel mathematical research and collaboration with scientists from disciplines including Materials Science, Chemistry, Robotics, Aeronautics, and Computing. His mission at Topos is to help develop the ability for people, organizations, and societies to see more clearly—and hence to serve—the systems that sustain them.
