Understanding the Universe's Shortest Path
41:38 - 49:47 (08:09)
The minimal compression in the universe produces the shortest path, connecting events from millions of years ago to the present day, and even making first contact with gravitational waves possible.

The shortest path to cooking is intrinsic and measurable, taking the minimum amount of resources in time to make a meal.
41:38 - 44:02 (02:24)
Summary
The shortest path to cooking is intrinsic and measurable, taking the minimum amount of resources in time to make a meal. It is fascinating to realize that the shortest way is also the most basic way to create a dish.

In order to communicate with possible extraterrestrial life, assembly theory may help us infer their language and technology, even if there is no shared causal graph.
44:03 - 46:45 (02:42)
Summary
In order to communicate with possible extraterrestrial life, assembly theory may help us infer their language and technology, even if there is no shared causal graph. Machines are not important in this theory's construction as it focuses on the existence of things rather than the mechanisms behind them.
