The Consequences of Time and Dark Energy in the Universe
3:59:28 - 4:05:01 (05:32)
The universe is intrinsically asymmetric and is generating novelty and evolution over time, leading to the possibility of perpetual motion within certain bounds. Studying dark energy can provide insight into the mechanics of reality beyond just time.

Summary
Physicists suggest that the entire future is already mapped out, which poses serious issues when it comes to the topic of free will. While reducing the number of beliefs needed to understand the universe is important, it is difficult to accept the belief that time is fundamental.
