    Listen to the Summary of Neil Theise's Notes on Complexity in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. "Notes on Complexity" by Neil Theise delves into the intricacies of complexity theory, which examines the emergent properties arising from the interactions within complex systems. These systems, ranging from quantum mechanics to entire ecosystems, are characterized by their adaptability, self-sufficiency, and inherent unpredictability. Theise explores how complexity theory applies to various disciplines, including biology, sociology, and physics, and bridges the gap between quantum mechanics and relativity...

      A Theory of Consciousness Can Help Build a Theory of Everything

      May 4, 2017

      For an empirical science, physics can be remarkably dismissive of some of our most basic observations. We see objects existing in definite locations, but the wave nature of matter washes that away. We perceive time to flow, but how could it, really?
