I found this episode fascinating. Wide-ranging exploration of the philosophy of physics. @aviationdoctor.eth this might be to your eclectic tastes https://youtu.be/Tghl6aS5A3M

Great video, thanks. I only warmed up to Curt’s videos recently, as I initially found him a bit off-putting. This topic of determinism is one of my favorite. There are also a couple of great vids on Norton’s Dome from Up and Atom and Sabine (IIRC). I remember reading Norton’s paper on the back of A Primer on Determinism (which I think I casted about some time ago — quintessential read in my view). Norton’s Dome initially blew my mind but then I understood that it’s a mathematical construct with no physical realization. It’s not the only case where math would give more than one solution (in this case two — the ball stays put forever in typical Newtonian expectation, or starts rolling randomly), but only one works in physics (other examples are virtually every time singularities show up). I’m still a determinist (in the real world) and in fact now warming up to superdeterminism — such that QM, too, is a deterministic theory
