Theoretical Physics and the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
1:38:37 - 1:46:53 (08:16)
Theoretical physics presents a set of materials, and researchers use their own cleverness to find ways to measure something that fits the model accurately. One innovative approach, causal set theory, suggests that the universe is simply a series of random events in space and time, and all possible rules are applied to places in a hypergraph.

The multiway graph hypothesis proposes that instead of applying a single rule to a hypergraph, all possible rules are applied to create a multiway system that represents all possible histories and rules.

Summary
The multiway graph hypothesis proposes that instead of applying a single rule to a hypergraph, all possible rules are applied to create a multiway system that represents all possible histories and rules. This raises questions about how reality emerges and how to extract meaningful information from a sea of possibilities.
