The Emergence of Time
1:57:00 - 2:03:49 (06:49)
The concept of time is hard to understand because we assume it's fundamental to our daily lives, but some theories suggest it's emergent from certain processes, like in molecules. It challenges the idea that time can go backwards and raises questions about memory's relationship with time.

The speaker expresses dissatisfaction with some aspects of modern physics, specifically the belief in the magical order at the beginning of the universe and the second law, and the belief of emergent causation.

Physicists have been confused about the concept of time, with some believing that causation is not emergent and others believing that time is not a real thing.
1:57:48 - 1:59:02 (01:14)
Summary
Physicists have been confused about the concept of time, with some believing that causation is not emergent and others believing that time is not a real thing. While the current description of the universe in physics is accepted, there is a lack of agreement on whether time is fundamental.

The idea of time being reversible takes a leap of wild imagination to think that time is emergent, instead of fundamental.
2:01:39 - 2:03:49 (02:09)
Summary
The idea of time being reversible takes a leap of wild imagination to think that time is emergent, instead of fundamental. Physicists' notion of going back in time to meet ourselves is questioned by an experimental chemist.
