Big ThinkThe “afterlife” according to Einstein’s special relativity | Sabine HossenfelderSabine Hossenfelder investigates life's big questions through the lens of physics, particularly Einstein's theory of special relativity. She highlights the relativity of simultaneity, which states that the notion of "now" is subjective and dependent on the observer. This leads to the block universe concept, where past, present, and future all exist simultaneously, making the past just as real as the present.
Hossenfelder also emphasizes that the fundamental laws of nature preserve information rather than destroy it. Although information about a deceased person disperses, it remains an integral part of the universe. This idea of timeless existence, derived from the...

Big ThinkPhysics: The big questions of existence | Sabine HossenfelderSabine Hossenfelder talks about Albert Einstein, dead grandmothers, the physics of aging, and more in this full interview with Big Think.
In this Big Think interview, physicist Sabine Hossenfelder discusses a variety of topics, including the search for a theory of everything, information preservation in the laws of nature, the mysteries of entropy, and the measurement process in quantum mechanics. She further provides an overview of the four fundamental forces of nature and the challenge of uniting them into one coherent whole.
Hossenfelder also addresses John Horgan's book The End of Science, which posits that humanity is nearing the...

Into the Impossible With Brian KeatingDo We Have Free Will and Will AI Have It Too? (ft. Sabine Hossenfelder)Please join my mailing list here 👉 https://briankeating.com/yt to win a meteorite 💥
Does free will exist? It's a question that's haunted philosophers for centuries. But physicist Sabine Hossenfelder has a provocative answer that might just disturb you. She says free will doesn't exist.
Everything is determined by the laws of physics. But here's the paradox that's fascinated me. I've talked to Sam Harris, Dan Dennett, Robert Sapolsky, all brilliant minds who agree that free will is an illusion. Yet, when I asked them if they've ever encountered someone who acts like they don't have f...

Lehto Files - Investigating UAPsScience Fraud is Rampant - It also affects UAPs | Sabine Hossenfelder's BombshellMainstream science has been lying to us. From high-energy physics to UAPs, the truth is being suppressed to protect careers, funding, and power. Sabine Hossenfelder exposed fraud in physics, where experiments are designed for funding, not discovery. Meanwhile, whistleblowers speaking out about UAPs and government secrets are being silenced, and Area 51 workers are being denied cancer treatment to keep classified programs hidden.

Decoding the GurusSabine Hossenfelder: Science is a Liar ... SometimesIn this highly non-topical episode, Matt and Chris dive into the entertainingly gruff world of Sabine Hossenfelder, the German theoretical physicist and popular YouTube science communicator. Known as a joyful science curmudgeon, Sabine excels at making complex science accessible to a wide audience. Yet, there's another side to her content: one that's increasingly steeped in the YouTube algorithm’s culture-war-fueled clickbait, complete with prolific both-sidesing and even hints of her own brand of science-denialist rhetoric.We can already imagine Sabine’s response: tone policing from establishment scolds who are trying to silence a fearless truth-teller for exposing acad...

Science with SabineThe biggest gap in science: complexityEveryone loves to talk about complex problems and complex systems, but no one has any idea what it means.

That’s what we’ll talk about in this video.

Modern Wisdom#521 - Sabine Hossenfelder - Life's Mysteries, Explained By PhysicsSabine Hossenfelder is a theoretical physicist, research fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, quantum gravity researcher and an author. There are a lot of big questions in the world, like does the past still exist? Do particles think? Was the universe fine tuned for us? Do we have free will? And are we living in a simulation? Given that we don't have answers yet, why not let a physicist have a crack at them?Expect to learn why physicists who say they know how the universe started aren't telling the truth, whether we c...

The Michael Shermer Show294. Sabine Hossenfelder — Existential Physics: A Scientist’s Guide to Life’s Biggest QuestionsWhat is time? Does the past still exist? How did the universe begin and how will it end? Do particles think? Was the universe made for us? Why doesn’t anyone ever get younger? Has physics ruled out free will? Will we ever have a theory of everything? According to Sabine Hossenfelder, it is not a coincidence that quantum entanglement and vacuum energy have become the go-to explanations of alternative healers, or that people believe their deceased grandmother is still alive because of quantum mechanics. Science and religion have the same roots, and they still tackle some of the sa...

When Science SpeaksDoes the Past Still Exist, Dark Matter, and Other Mind-Blowing Topics with Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder, Ph.D.This week's episode features renowned physicist Sabine Hossenfelder, Ph.D., author most recently of the book "Existential Physics" and creator of the popular YouTube channel, "Science Without the Gobbledygook." In this week's episode, we discuss a range of fascinating, mind-blowing topics such as: - “Does the past still exist?”, “Was the universe made for us?”, and why, in Dr. Hossenfelder's words, science is first an inspiration, not merely a profession. - What led Dr. Hossenfelder to start “Science without the Gobbledygook?”, her popular YouTube channel, which has 514,000 subscribers and counting - In discussing t...

Unbelievable?Sabine Hossenfelder and Luke Barnes - The fine-tuning of the Universe: Was the cosmos made for us?
The Big Conversation - Episode 4 | Season 3. Many physicists have pointed out the extraordinary ‘fine tuning’ of the physical laws of the universe that have allowed life to develop within the cosmos.
Luke Barnes believes it gives evidence for a designer behind the cosmos, whereas Sabine Hossenfelder disagrees, questioning whether we can even speak of ‘fine tuning’ as a phenomenon.

Walden Pod22 - Has Physics Debunked Panpsychism? Answering Sabine HossenfelderTheoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder wrote a critique of panpsychism that’s become widely-cited in The Panpsychism Wars. Hossenfelder argues that physics has ruled out panpsychism. Panpsychists simply haven’t attempted to reconcile the massive conflict with the evidence. However, her arguments are deeply flawed, and one doesn’t need to affirm panpsychism to notice.

EconTalkSabine Hossenfelder on Physics, Reality, and Lost in MathPhysicist Sabine Hossenfelder talks about her book Lost in Math with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Hossenfelder argues that the latest theories in physics have failed to find empirical confirmation. Particles that were predicted to be discovered by the mathematics have failed to show up. Whether or not there is a multiverse has no observable consequences. Hossenfelder argues that physicists have become overly enamored with the elegance and aesthetics of their theories and that using beauty to evaluate a model is unscientific. The conversation includes a discussion of similar challenges in economics.

Sabine Hossenfelder has a Bachelor's degree in mathematics and a PhD in physics. She has written more than 60 research articles, mostly dedicated to quantum gravity and physics beyond the standard model.
In Hossenfelder's own words: "Nothing is moving in the foundations of physics. One experiment after the other is returning null results: No new particles, no new dimensions, no new symmetries."
