### Segment 1 (00:00 - 01:00) []

If you think off the top of your head you know how to solve that problem, I suggest you could write a paper about it because nobody as far as I know has ever solved that problem. There's a thing called the problem of the screen which is can physicists actually in a precise way physically model what we call screens where dots show up and the answer is no they cannot. — That's a bit of a surprise. Yeah, I mean I would think I could physically and mathematically model that screen. — You would think you could give it a shot. — I'll give you an example. Everybody thinks one thing you can cleanly use quantum mechanics to do is predict if I shoot electrons one at a time through a screen with two slits, we know an interference pattern will form. You would think the algorithm we have can predict easily the exact structure of that interference pattern. And if I collect more and more data, I can get to more precision how many particles land where.
