Thad Meets TED

By on May 05, 2011 in Featured, Quantum Space Theory


I am delighted to announce that TEDxBoulder has invited me to talk about “Visualizing Eleven Dimensions” at the upcoming TEDxBoulder con­fer­ence (Boulder, CO, August 7th, 2010). I con­sider this invi­ta­tion quite an honor and am looking for­ward to sharing my eleven-dimensional vision with the TED audi­ence. I would like to extend an invi­ta­tion to all quantum space theory sup­porters and sci­ence enthu­si­asts to attend this con­fer­ence. Details can be found here.

TED talks are known for being packed with insightful people who get together with the inten­tion of exposing them­selves to a wide gamut of ideas worth spreading. TED has pushed the fron­tiers in the areas of design, sus­tain­ability, tech­nology, and extremes. As one of those people that values the expan­sion of our intel­lec­tual horizon, TEDxBoulder and I invite you to join us in Boulder for a fes­tival of imagination.

    Thad,

    When will your book be coming out? I look for­ward to chat­ting with you on the live pod­cast, will you be taking all the calls that come in? I really think I have some good ques­tions.

      My lit­erary agent is han­dling the details of book pub­li­ca­tion and which pub­lishing house we are going with etc., but I expect that the pub­li­ca­tion date will be some time next year. In the mean time, I can for­ward you addi­tional pdf chap­ters if you desire to dis­cuss them with me. I’ll look for­ward to talking about eleven dimen­sions with you on the live pod­cast. The inter­viewer will be han­dling the switch­boards, so I cannot say that I have any con­trol over which calls will be taken, but if your ques­tions are not addressed please send them to me via this site.

    I just heard you are going to be avail­able to talk via the web, I have really enjoyed your web site and hope to meet you some day. Exactly what day will you be doing the live show again? Thank You for your time. -Den

      If you would like to travel to Boulder, CO for the August 7th TEDxBoulder con­fer­ence we would enjoy having you. Otherwise, I plan most pre­sen­ta­tions at the request of groups. Are you in Salt Lake City? If so, I’m sure we could make some plans. Let’s talk about your interest in quantum space theory, and see if we can put together another group of enthu­si­asts for a group dis­cus­sion or another intro­duc­tory lec­ture.

    Mr. Roberts,

    Will you ever be coming to Seattle Washington? I am a stu­dent and would like to know more about your theory’s.

    I heard about you being on the Neverhood show and will be tuning in.

      I would con­sider set­ting up a quantum space theory con­fer­ence in Seattle Washington. Perhaps, after the radio show and the TEDxBoulder con­fer­ence, you can orga­nize a group of people that have ques­tions about dimen­sions, space­time, and the mys­teries of quantum mechanics and gen­eral rel­a­tivity, and we can arrange a spe­cial group ses­sion. Would this be some­thing of interest to you and your com­mu­nity?

    I’m there Thad! While I don’t claim to under­stand every­thing you have to offer, I feel like without the infor­ma­tion I am lost. (From a sci­ence point of view) I’m looking for­ward to calling in to the the radio show to ask my ques­tions. -Andrew Hass

      I’ll look for­ward to your ques­tions and your input. Are there any par­tic­ular parts of quantum space theory that you find specif­i­cally dif­fi­cult to under­stand? I know the entire book is not online or avail­able to the public yet, but if you are inter­ested in more details or infor­ma­tion please let me know. We can start a dis­cus­sion based on your ques­tions and I will do my best to make it as clear as pos­sible.

    Thad, you rocked the pre­sen­ta­tion. Your visuals were stun­ning and your pre­sen­ta­tion was ter­rific. Thanks again for being part of TEDxBoulder, we loved having you here.

    I hope it was fun for you as well!

      Thank you very much. The feed­back has been great. Many people found the new per­spec­tive inspiring, and many others have expressed an increased moti­va­tion to study the out­standing mys­teries in our world. To me, that means it was a suc­cess :-) .

    Damn!!

    I missed the October lec­ture by a week, and now I’ve missed the Boulder one by three!! Is QST still in print??

      The book, “Einstein’s Intuition” is awaiting pub­li­ca­tion. We are in the process of set­ting up another lec­ture. I sus­pect it will be some­time in October or November. Stay tuned for an announce­ment. If you’d like to read the whole book, please send an email to the link at the bottom of these pages and we’ll get you a pre-release PDF version.

    very inter­ested in your pre­sen­ta­tion. Could you give us some back­ground on your research and where you are doing it ?? Thanks

      Thank you for your interest. Did you get a chance to watch the TED talk?

      Right now most of the work on quantum space theory is being done in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Quantum Space Theory Institute, which is made up of a sev­eral tal­ented the­o­ret­ical physi­cists, math­e­mati­cians, philoso­phers, and com­puter graphics spe­cial­ists that vol­un­teer their time and effort due to their interest in the poten­tial of this idea. One of the main projects the group is cur­rently focusing on is solving for the spe­cific space­time dynamics equa­tion – the exact set that encodes the char­ac­ter­istic cur­va­ture of say a black hole, even within the Schwarzchild radius, in such a way that we can derive the exact value of zhe (the geo­metric expres­sion of the max­imum state of cur­va­ture in the field of space­time). Theoretical exact­ness for this number will enable us to pre­dict some of the con­stants of Nature much more accu­rately than they are cur­rently known. Several other topics are being researched in con­junc­tion with qst, including: Bohmian Mechanics, super­sym­metry, con­straints on degrees of freedom, and many more.

      I am in Salt Lake City, but sev­eral of the QSTI mem­bers par­tic­i­pate from dif­ferent states.

    Hi Thad. I’ve been hearing sto­ries about you for years. You know my son Justin from Florence. He speaks very highly of you and learned much from your teach­ings. I thank you for that.
    Your QST is fas­ci­nating. I’m strug­gling to visu­alize it com­pletely, but based on Justin’s sto­ries about your time together, I’m not at all sur­prised.
    I wish you all the best. If you are ever in Sacramento, CA, I would love to meet you and hang out with you and Justin for a bit. First round is on me :)
    Fred
