mrtp | THE PHYSICS OF INFORMATION: FROM ENTANGLEMENT TO BLACK HOLES @mrtpsoroush | Uploaded September 2014 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Public lecture series hosted by Perimeter Institute for theoretical physics in Waterloo Ontario, Wednesday Dec 05, 2007.
Speaker(s): Leonard Susskind, Sir Anthony Leggett, Christopher Fuchs, Seth Lloyd, Bob McDonald
Do ideas about information and reality inspire fruitful new approaches to the hardest problems of modern physics? What can we learn about the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, the beginning of the universe and our understanding of black holes by thinking about the very essence of information? The answers to these questions are surprising and enlightening, but also controversial. The topic of information within physics has involved some of the 20th century\'s greatest scientists in long-running intellectual battles that continue to the present day. In this special debate, hosted by the CBC\'s Bob McDonald of \'Quirks and Quarks\', you will enjoy a lively discussion between four prominent physicists who have thought long and hard about these questions. information, quantum mechanics, quantum cryptology, entropy, everything computes, properties equals information, uncertainty principle, quantum computer, hologram, black hole, event horizon, coherence, Schrodinger, interference and predictability, quantum state, teleportation, entanglement

Date: April 14, 2006
In his new book, The Cosmic Landscape: String Theory and the Illusion of Intelligent Design, physicist and Father of String Theory Leonard Susskind aims to debunk what he calls the narrow 20th century view of a unique universe. In this interview, Susskind describes a megaverse that is the result of a vast range of mathematical possibilities.")
