Marylea discusses a recent art show and experiences organizing events with artists in the Lower East Side.We share frustrations with the healthcare system, especially when dealing with minor medical issues and obtaining medications.Marylea explains what “getting off the margin” means in poetry.Gayle discusses the Wolfram Physics Project, an attempt to find a fundamental theory of physics using graph theory and simple rules to model the universe.We touch on computation and complexity, including irreducible complexity.How Wolfram’s approach might explain why other attempts at a fundamental theory haven’t aligned with observable phenomena.Openness and criticism of Wolfram’s Project:We pivot to infinity and Cantor’s Diagonal Argument, as well as countable and uncountable infinities.:We discuss whether the universe is discrete or continuous, including how Wolfram’s physics project suggests a discrete universe with finer granular scales relative to our perception.The conversation then delves into the role of infinity in calculus and physics.
