The Limitations of Equations in Modeling the World
17:02 - 22:19 (05:17)
The study of partial differential equations tries to capture the complexity of the physical world but falls short due to the impossibility of explicitly modeling reality, especially at the atomic and cosmic scales.

The study of partial differential equations (PDEs) and the underlying simple rules that govern reality were discussed.

PDEs
Summary
The study of partial differential equations (PDEs) and the underlying simple rules that govern reality were discussed. The idea that there are complex structures underneath our reality just from simple rules was explored, inspired by Stephen Wolfram's beliefs.
