Challenges create opportunity. At ASU, we’ve built a model that’s excellent, accessible, student-focused and tech-enabled. Higher ed must adapt to meet diverse needs and drive greater impact. ow.ly/e2sQ50VQgbq

I talked with Sara Imari Walker about the ideas in her new book *Life as No One Knows It: The Physics of Life’s Emergence.* jimruttshow.com/sara-walker/ We discussed Sara’s path from theoretical physics to astrobiology, the biggest scientific questions, philosophy of science & theory

Lots of love for Sara Imari Walker!

The past is a hypothesis, constructed in the present

“If we see a sufficiently complex atmosphere — one that required a sufficient amount of time to produce — that might be the smoking gun of a biosignature.” —Sara Imari Walker to Claire Isabel Webb noemamag.com/measuring-a-pl…

science is absolutely my favorite thing that humans do, and even more brilliant is that no one seems to know exactly what it is

What is Life? In her Long Now Talk, astrobiologist and theoretical physicist Sara Imari Walker Walker explores the fundamental nature of life and how can physics help shape our understanding of how it arises in the universe.

The most transformative theories never come from trying to build better mathematical representations of current theories. Instead we get them by making direct contact with observations not accounted for in our existing map of the world.

If causation is predicated on counterfactuals, then it cannot be probabilistic: we cannot assign probabilities to things that don’t happen.

Many of us cannot see past the current representational maps that architect our minds and want them to remain static, but it’s important to recognize these can always be revised and the models we inhabit in our own minds should always be changing if we are to really come to

Recently, I read this beautiful #book, named Life as No One Knows It, by Sara Imari Walker and had a minor revelation that maybe we’ve been looking at life from a completely wrong lens. My notes 👇

Things are getting real…

The binding problem for societies is much harder than it is for individual minds

Astrobiologist Sara Imari Walker describes a new scientific narrative — one where life isn't just observed, but understood as a driving force that shapes our future. 💫
