00:00:00.000 | So time and space are emergent.
00:00:04.800 | We kind of mentioned in the beginning, can you elaborate, what do you feel hope is fundamental
00:00:12.240 | in our universe?
00:00:14.000 | A wave function living in Hilbert space.
00:00:15.800 | A wave function in Hilbert space that we can't intellectualize or visualize really.
00:00:20.560 | We can't visualize it, we can intellectualize it very easily.
00:00:23.760 | Like how do you think about...
00:00:25.840 | It's a vector in a 10 to the 10 to the 122 dimensional vector space.
00:00:29.600 | The complex vector unit norm, it evolves according to the Schrodinger equation.
00:00:34.360 | Got it.
00:00:36.040 | When you put it that way.
00:00:37.520 | What's so hard really?
00:00:38.520 | It's like...
