Video Title
05:35 - 06:35
The speaker notes that worrying about an unanswerable question potentially inspired the creation of the famous uncertainty principle.
Transcription
And so all this time he spent worrying about this question he couldn't answer may have helped
2. Black Hole Modeling

Video Title
06:25 - 07:25
He explains that modeling intricate black hole systems required the use of specific numerical Markov-Chain-Monte Carlo simulations.
Transcription
we ended up having to use Markov-Chain-Monte Carlo simulations. And so I was revisiting
3. Historical Theoretical Objections

Video Title
12:06 - 13:12
He notes that Everett preferred a consistent theory over the standard axioms that seemed deterministic in only some situations.
