Meditation on Black Holes and Our Understanding of Time with Janna Levin
33:39 - 40:07 (06:28)
Physicist Janna Levin discusses the possibility of using meditation to understand the edges of supermassive black holes and to escape our wrong understanding of time as absolute.

Our intuition about space and time is often flawed, leading to misunderstandings in physics.
33:39 - 35:23 (01:44)
Summary
Our intuition about space and time is often flawed, leading to misunderstandings in physics. New discoveries in physics are challenging old intuitions and leading to a better understanding of the nature of space and time.

Summary
The symmetry principle explains that objects of different weights fall at the same rate because of symmetry in the horizontal translation. The experiment at the Leaning Tower of Pisa proved this principle when heavy and light objects were dropped from the top of the tower and fell at the same time.
