Transcript[edit]
- [A parent and a child walking on the beach]
- I call that "The Falling Problem".
- You encounter it when you first study physics. You realize that, if you were ever dropped from a plane without a parachute, you could calculate with a high degree of accuracy how long it'd take to hit the ground, your speed, how much energy you'll deposit into the earth.
- And yet, you would still be just as dead as a particularly stupid gorilla dropped the same distance.
- Mastery of the nature of reality grants you no mastery over the behavior of reality.
- I could tell you why grandpa is very sick. I could tell you what each cell is doing wrong, why it's doing it wrong, and roughly when it started doing wrong.
- But I can't tell them to stop.
- Why can't you make a machine to fix it?
- Same reason you can't make a parachute when you fall from the plane.
- Because it's too hard?
- Nothing is too hard. Many things are too fast.
- [Silence for a panel]
- I think I could solve the problem with a jetpack. Can you try to get me the parts?
- That's all I do, kiddo.
