The Concept of Time and its Role in Experiments
1:51:49 - 1:57:54 (06:05)
In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses the concept of time and its relevance in experiments. They explore the idea that the existence of things is not always as we think it is and highlight the difficulty in conducting experiments when there is a causal bottleneck.

The physical experiment is viewed as a computational experiment where you can extract the necessary information from your causal chain.
1:51:49 - 1:53:20 (01:31)
Summary
The physical experiment is viewed as a computational experiment where you can extract the necessary information from your causal chain. It's important to design experiments in a way that allows them to take off on their own.

The possibility of conducting experiments beyond the Big Bang is unlikely due to a causal bottleneck which makes it difficult for information to propagate.

Summary
The possibility of conducting experiments beyond the Big Bang is unlikely due to a causal bottleneck which makes it difficult for information to propagate. However, some scientists suggest there may have been something before the Big Bang.
