StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

And even to this day.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

We look at the total number of connections in the brain and you look at the total number of stars in the universe and they all interact with each other gravitationally.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

And so, and our neural circuitry all interacts with all the rest of the neural circuitry.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

So it may be that the universe is less complex than the human brain.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

Right.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

What do you mean you guys?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

You did it too.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

What do you mean you guys?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

Like you didn't do it too?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

It's true.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

Okay.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

You know, Charles, your account was so good.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

I think you should write a book on this.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

It's amazing.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

So, Charles, in that question, there's a direct reference to information.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

And information feels kind of intangible when you think about it.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

Because I said in an earlier episode, if I give you two oranges,

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

you have two oranges.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

But if I give you two newspapers, you don't have twice the information than you would have had on one newspaper.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

So information is clearly a different thing from what we think of as material reality.
