Cellular Automata: A Challenge for Computer Science
1:20:36 - 1:28:56 (08:19)
This episode discusses the idea that cellular automata may be the fundamental level of reality, and how difficult it is to understand them. It speculates that solving the problem may require post-human or enhanced human intervention, and may have connections to other complex problems.

Summary
This episode discusses the concept of cellular automata as a theory of everything that states everything around us arises from very simple objects and simple rules. It also talks about the possibility of post-human or enhanced humans using computational tools to solve these kinds of problems.

Summary
The challenge with Grand Unified Theories is reconciling the unity created with a clear picture of the objects we have seen. The difficulty arises from the large geometrical structures in multiple dimensions, making it challenging to get good answers.
