The Economist covers math, physics, philosophy, and AI in a manner that shows how different countries perceive developments and how they impact markets. They recently published a piece on China's new neutrino detector. They cover extending life via mitochondrial transplants, creating an entirely new field of medicine. But it's also not just science they analyze.
Culture, they analyze finance, economics, business, international affairs across every region. I'm particularly liking their new insider feature. It was just launched this month. It gives you, it gives me, a front row access to The Economist's internal editorial debates.
Where senior editors argue through the news with world leaders and policy makers in twice weekly long format shows. Basically an extremely high quality podcast. Whether it's scientific innovation or shifting global politics, The Economist provides comprehensive coverage beyond headlines. As a toe listener, you get a special discount. Head over to economist.com slash TOE to subscribe. That's economist.com slash TOE for your discount.
Think Verizon, the best 5G network, is expensive? Think again. Bring in your AT&T or T-Mobile bill to a Verizon store today and we'll give you a better deal. Now what to do with your unwanted bills? Ever seen an origami version of the Miami Bull? Jokes aside, Verizon has the most ways to save on phones and plants.
This year we hosted the first iteration of a physics and consciousness explication challenge.
This is where Brilliant.org pitched in 1,000 USD to each of the top 5 entries, totaling $5,000. We received such a rich volume of explanatory videos from you which were designed to showcase theories, explanations, rigorous expository material in general as to what lies at the fundament of our reality.
Entrants were encouraged to go over a theory of their own or to expand, either in application or the details of a theory that they were particularly fond of. In the last two months, there's been a marked increase in the attention to a wide variety of small channels due to this challenge. Considering that the vast majority of the entrants were uploaded to nascent channels where the entry was among the first or the second videos uploaded, it warmed my heart, it still warms my heart that such an extensive amount of people chose to take part in this.
Again, the point of this challenge isn't to win, what the heck does winning mean anyway, but instead to serve as encouragement for those who are on the periphery of wanting to produce content in this space but lack that last modicum of a nudge. In order to evaluate the entries, as a first pass, we ran a peer review process where an algorithm would feed participants different videos to compare and they'd be asked to vote on which one more aptly fits the criteria about to be listed, as well as their own preference.
There were so many entries, I thought maybe 10 people would partake in this. I remember telling Brilliant, like, this is gonna be not terribly successful, it's a test, it's an experiment. We like to innovate at Tollum. Most of what's inventive or attempts to be inventive or most of what's new fails at its first attempt, second, even third. However, we received over 50 submissions, superlative submissions. They were well constructed, they were engaging. Clearly, the videos took an
This sounds so cheesy, but you all are winners. There's a playlist on the channel right now where you can go and you can look at all the entries. To choose winners, Sam and I both spent several weeks
giving a thorough look at the entries. This was after the peer review process and we also recruited other researchers and academics who were in the relevant field to help make that decision. And, by the way, there will be plenty more of these contests, these challenges, these encouragements to help further the understanding of mathematics, consciousness, physics,
Theories of everything in general. This is just the beginning. Let's get on to the criteria. One of the goals was to create an atmosphere conducive to innovation without becoming stymied by various factors. We wanted to highlight the fields and the ideas and the top five entries are less about winning and more about clearly demonstrating a capacity to explain concepts, have fun while doing so, and make it fun for the audience as well.
The first criterion was a complexity to clearness ratio. It'd be great if you had something that was extremely complex explained extremely clearly. The second was we encouraged advanced topics and the third was the video's engaging characteristics. So this is much more of a subjective consideration. We intended to keep in the filmmakers term of production value and look for it to be high or medium to high. That is 4k or 1080p, proper sound, edited moderately well and we have to modulo that with knowing that this is some of the entries first video that they're producing.
The fourth desideratum was rigor, such that the presentation was not hand-wavy. There's an encouragement of the use of diagrams and logic and cogency equations. They were prioritized, in fact. Fifth, and finally, was the ah, I see, factor. This is the aspect of some explainers where you know where you want to end up, so point B is explained and point A is where you start. Then you have some route and often it's circuitous, but then the different elements line up such that by the end you say, ah, okay, I see, I understand.
Now, let us begin with honorable mentions.
First up is the CTMU in Five Questions by JustHereForThio. The cognitive theoretic model of the universe is a philosophical theory developed by Chris Langan. The CTMU posits that the universe is a self-contained, self-generating system of thought and experience, and that a reality can be understood as a comprehensive, closed system of all and only that which is real. The theory asserts that feedback is the invariant principle of reality, and that reality has a scalable ontology.
implying the presence of a fundamental order. The CTMU also integrates various branches of knowledge including mathematics, physics, metaphysics, and philosophy into a coherent unified worldview. The ultimate aim of the CTMU is to provide a comprehensive understanding of reality that encompasses all that is real and explains the relationship between consciousness, thought, and the universe. The system is characterized by a sense of closure and demonstrates the idea that reality has a scalable ontology.
The author presents a clear and easy-to-follow exploration of the premise, leading to a well-articulated conclusion. Regularity in Non-Standard Models of Arithmetic, by Nikolaij Nikolaij, seated regally with the radiant neon heart as his backdrop, delves into the axiom of foundation in standard set theory, offering a fresh perspective by revisiting it as a rule that governs sets which exclude themselves.
He then builds upon this foundation along with piano arithmetic to explore the practical applications of arithmetic induction. In his insightful examination, Nicholas posits that minimal element statements correspond to a principle that underscores the interconnectedness of all systems, and set theory is the key to understanding these connections. After meticulous deliberation, the author presents a comprehensive and easily digestible conclusion centered around a non-standard model of physics rooted in piano arithmetic.
How I stumbled upon the best theory of everything yet, by the means of destruction. In this video, the intricacies of the hyperbolic figure 8 knot and its complement are meticulously dissected. A guest on the show, with an intuition reminiscent of Einstein, offers a geometric solution to the elusive, fine-structure constant. These findings have been verified through independent research efforts, shedding light on the previously unknown realms of scientific advancement.
An Interconnected System of Energy by Hussam Wadi The articles in question delve into a conceptual framework of energy, intriguing and worthy of consideration.

This series aspires to foster a foundation for exploratory musings through a sequence of hypothetical exercises and thought experiments rather than offering a comprehensive set of formal proofs. Utilizing techniques and methods commonly found in the development of robotic systems, this paper endeavors to unravel the intricacies of reality.
This enables us to examine the structure through an alternative perspective and relate the layers of light projections to a deep restricted Boltzmann network representation of quantum information.
Razor blades are like diving boards. The longer the board, the more the wobble, the more the wobble, the more nicks, cuts, scrapes. A bad shave isn't a blade problem, it's an extension problem. Henson is a family-owned aerospace parts manufacturer that's made parts for the International Space Station and the Mars Rover.
Now they're bringing that precision engineering to your shaving experience. By using aerospace-grade CNC machines, Henson makes razors that extend less than the thickness of a human hair. The razor also has built-in channels that evacuates hair and cream, which make clogging virtually impossible. Henson Shaving wants to produce the best razors, not the best razor business, so that means no plastics, no subscriptions, no proprietary blades, and no planned obsolescence.
It's also extremely affordable. The Henson razor works with the standard dual edge blades that give you that old school shave with the benefits of this new school tech. It's time to say no to subscriptions and yes to a razor that'll last you a lifetime. Visit hensonshaving.com slash everything.
Toe for Kurt by Alexi. Alexi guides us through a captivating journey of nine books, each delving into a different aspect of consciousness and reality.

In Chris Leto's theory, consciousness resonates in octaves like waves. With an emphasis on the evolution of morphological patterns, these two perspectives delve into the idea that intricate designs and complex systems arise from basic initial conditions. Chris employs the illustration of cellular automata to encourage the audience to envision a universe governed by fundamental fractal parameters, such as sound, light, and frequency.
He posits that a structural parallel can be drawn between the composition of atoms and that of galaxies, showcasing the simplicity that underlies seemingly complex phenomena.
A unified theory of thermodynamics, spacetime. In 2003, Guerra became convinced that the prevailing definition of heat was flawed, and that it was actually spacetime itself. Despite writing his ideas down and sending it to several prominent physicists by email in 2009, its radical nature and the lack of evidence hindered its credibility. However, in 2018, a group of Chinese scientists independently validated one of Guerra's predictions, providing evidence for his hypothesis.
In the video, the author comments on this experiment, presenting its implications as a basis for a new model of spacetime and a path towards a unified field theory.
Who are we? Where are we going? By the channel Knowing, Sperry presents a unique perspective on the nature of consciousness, proposing a dimensionless mechanism at its core. He posits that point-centered processes are the driving force behind all phenomena, including the expansion of the universe, and that this mechanism is a self-organizing, non-material consciousness. According to the SOFT model, this consciousness generates dimensional byproducts and measurements that give rise to physical, emotional,

The Infinity by James Soros In the video The Infinity Unlimited, James delves into the question of whether existence and non-existence coexist. The author meticulously explores four different solutions in search of a compatibility between these two seemingly opposing concepts. The author reaches a remarkable conclusion that the most fundamental aspect of reality is actually the concept of infinity itself. This idea suggests that the universe may be inherently boundless, both in terms of existence and non-existence.
Intro to the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator by Richard Bale. This video, which is both aesthetically pleasing and elegantly presented, provides a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the harmonic oscillator. It elegantly illustrates how ideal binding forces ranging from molecules and atoms to entire systems are influenced by the quantum harmonic oscillator.

And now for the winners. Number one, triadic idealism. The current prevailing view in answering the composition of the universe is physicalism. However, some say it falls short in explaining consciousness. To address this limitation, the speaker delves into the philosophy of metaphysical idealism. With a focus on countering the decoherence problem in idealism, he argues that the reality of the universe lies solely within the realm of minds.
The speaker guides us through the criticism of idealism by philosophers Moore and Russell and explains why absolute idealism in the form of panpsychic idealism is a credible idea. He highlights how this perspective provides a unique and compelling explanation for the nature of consciousness and the universe.
In this enlightening journey, Sorensen expertly guides us through the complexities of the time-independent solutions in electrodynamics. With his vast knowledge and mastery of the subject, he confidently navigates through challenging equations in the field and source expressions.

This video offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a knowledgeable expert in electrodynamics and provides a thought-provoking exploration of the subject.
Number three, the space-time metric. In this wonderfully engaging video, dialect begins with a deceptively simple inquiry. How do we describe distance? While the answer appears straightforward, the concept becomes complex and more and more complex when considered in relation to the coordinate grid. Through a captivating journey, we're introduced to the fascinating world of space-time cartography.
The speaker presents a comprehensive geometric interpretation of the spacetime metric which provides a deeper understanding of the relationship between distance and coordinate grids. This video offers a unique perspective on subjects and provides a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of spacetime.
The elusive nature of consciousness and its underlying mechanisms have been a source of mystery and fascination for centuries. Despite the observable behaviors of conscious beings, it remains unclear whether these actions are indicative of true consciousness. This raises a multitude of ethical considerations, especially with machine learning and AI. Of the various theories attempting to shed light on the nature of consciousness, there are only a handful that utilize mathematical explanations. The idea that we can use patterns of brain activity to understand the workings of the mind is a tantalizing one.
The astonishing hypothesis outlined in Integrated Information Theory provides us with a glimpse into the vast potential of this field. While it may not offer a definitive answer, it presents rich and thought-provoking insight into the direction of this research, and the steps that need to be taken in order to unlock the secrets of consciousness.
Last but not least, epnull in the beginning. This beautiful and captivating presentation delves into the intricacies of the surreal numbers, highlighting null as a focal point. It brings to light the numerous underlying assumptions that have been made in the realm of mathematical infinity.
With the narrator holding a PhD in physics and a passion for octonions and quaternions, the audience can only hope that the surreal physics channel continues to evolve, not only in its visual aesthetic but in its ability to effortlessly communicate complex technical concepts with clarity and elegance.
Actually, that wasn't last, and the following two are honorable mentions. Brilliance has come on board to give 500 to both of these entrants, and they don't know this until now. This is a surprise. Special mention to Professor Unziker and to Tyler Goldstein. What are we talking about when we speak of a theory of everything?
Would we recognize it if we were to discover it? It's not about a correct calculation or observation, but finding where to start. Unziker takes us through a series of statements, principally that physics has indeed achieved plenty, and this is evidence that it's important. Unziker considers the position that G has no meaning and it can be set to the Planck length. Numerical values have an intrinsic purpose in nature, and therefore important to the progress of a theory of everything. He covers Dirac, the constants of the universe, and complex matrices.
Tyler Goldstein, on the other hand, is developing a sentient singularity theory and how a variety of meaningful perspectives can be taken to approach a unified theory. Fundamental to his insight is that someone exists, at least. That you exist, and others. Therefore, the inclusion of subjective metaphysics is necessary to integrate. In hopes to rank order theories by their fundamentalities, Tyler considers morality and responsibility, the lack of cooperation in science, and how this may all work out in the end.
In conclusion, I'd like to reiterate my immense gratitude for all those who took part in this challenge. This was thrilling, challenging, obviously overwhelming at times, and above all, a fantastic way to connect with you as the audience up-toe, also to cultivate a community, which is one of the major aspects that delineates theories of everything the project from mere podcast channels, and to showcase your fellow commenters, watchers, listeners to you.
Thank you, thank you Brilliant, because it wouldn't be possible without them. In fact, they said you don't even need to put a sponsor message. We're just donating this money, so thank you Brilliant. Thank you to you for watching, for listening, for making Toe what it is, for helping not only Toe get to the point where it could be, but helping other creators in proxy via this contest, via this challenge, this encouragement. And a final note, this is just the beginning. There are several, several, several plans for the future. Take care.
The podcast is now concluded. Thank you for watching. If you haven't subscribed or clicked on that like button, now would be a great time to do so, as each subscribe and like helps YouTube push this content to more people. Also, I recently found out that external links count plenty toward the algorithm, which means that when you share on Twitter, on Facebook, on Reddit, etc.
It shows YouTube that people are talking about this outside of YouTube, which in turn greatly aids the distribution on YouTube as well. If you'd like to support more conversations like this, then do consider visiting theoriesofeverything.org. Again, it's support from the sponsors and you that allow me to work on Toe full-time. You get early access to ad-free audio episodes there as well. Every dollar helps far more than you may think. Either way, your viewership is generosity enough. Thank you.
