If the Universe Ended Tomorrow, How Would You Die? | Leonard Susskind

Описание: Do you believe you are a solid object moving through a solid universe?
Pause. Think again.

What if nothing around you is truly solid — not the walls, not your body, not even space itself?

In this video, we take a deep dive into the most unsettling realization of modern physics: reality is not made of things, but of information and relationships. Atoms are not miniature billiard balls. They never were. At the deepest level, matter dissolves into probabilities, entanglements, and patterns that only look solid from a distance.

Guided by ideas from quantum mechanics, general relativity, and black hole physics, we explore a universe where:

Space is not a container, but an emergent relationship

Objects are not fundamental, but temporary information structures

Black holes are not holes, but closed stories written in spacetime

And what we call “you” is not matter — but a pattern the universe is computing

Drawing inspiration from the black hole information paradox, the holographic principle, and the idea that spacetime itself may emerge from quantum entanglement, this video challenges one of our deepest assumptions: that space and matter are the foundation of reality.

What if they’re not?

What if the universe, at its core, is not built from particles — but from information?
And what if you are not a thing that exists in the universe, but a story the universe is telling about itself?

This is not science fiction.
This is where modern theoretical physics is pointing.

Prepare to question solidity.
Prepare to question space.
Prepare to question what it even means to exist.
