This article explores different interpretations of quantum mechanics and discusses the ADS-CFT duality as an analogy for understanding the illusory nature of time and the deeper structure of reality. While time may be an illusion, it still points to a fundamental structure of reality that we perceive as a single pinprick of light in a vast and complex system.

Summary

In this podcast episode, host Amanda Gefter discusses her exploration of the fundamental nature of consciousness and how it relates to current theories in physics, such as interpretations of quantum mechanics and the idea that space and time are emergent rather than fundamental. She suggests that with each challenge to our intuitions about reality, there is an opportunity to escape from our limited perspectives and expand our understanding of the world around us.
