Phil and Stephen started the show tonight, for the first time, by talking sports. Throughout the show Phil reported happily on the progress of the Colorado Rockies. Stephen was less happy about Saturday’s upset game between LSU and the University of Kentucky.
This led, as it would only with Phil and Stephen, to a discussion of the difficulty predicting the future of anything in a complex system. Whether it be the fall of communism in the late 80′s or technological development in the next twenty years.
Phil and Stephen took calls from Karl Hallowell and Matt Duing. They contributed greatly to the discussion. Thanks guys!
The show included discussion on the parallel universe theory, quantum mechanics, quantum computers, quantum immortality, and quantum suicide. And Phil’s Amazing Exponentials and Stephen’s Spock’s Chessboard make an appearance.
The guys finished by talking about our Sun’s twin.
The music can be found at Magnatune.com. The front bumper was a sampling of Marginal Prophets’ “The Difficult Song” and they exited to “In The Middle” by Beight.
