The Connection Between Time and Computation in the Universe
1:03:56 - 1:16:22 (12:25)
The computations occurring in our minds and the computations that occur in the universe are aligned and lead to different forms of time. The big question about quantum mechanics is how to determine the answer since we have a persistent conflation of experiences in time, over a period from when a computer boots up to when the operating system crashes.

The speaker talks about the spacetime singularity at the center of black holes and wonders if it's possible for people to enter a multi-way trance to experience multiple threads of experience simultaneously.

Summary
The speaker talks about the spacetime singularity at the center of black holes and wonders if it's possible for people to enter a multi-way trance to experience multiple threads of experience simultaneously. The discussion also revolves around the concept of whether there is just one thread of time or many threads in quantum mechanics.
