One of the reasons I like that series is they seem intent to do some justice to competing theories and the fact that we still don't really have a working model of the universe, or know answers as to why theories work the way they do.
Anyways this article was a really hard read for me. It's like the relatively-readable paragraphs are laughing at me--written like I should be understanding them, but I don't, ie:
>The best error-correcting codes can typically recover all of the encoded information from slightly more than half of your physical qubits, even if the rest are corrupted. This fact is what hinted to Almheiri, Dong and Harlow in 2014 that quantum error correction might be related to the way anti-de Sitter space-time arises from quantum entanglement.
I'd also like to recommend the semi-technical talks by Nima Arkani-Hamed and Leonard Susskind. They are the only reason I have the faintest hint of what is going on in theoretical physics and cosmology.
Space Time is fantastic. Upon watching the entire series (catching up to present time, to be more exact, since new episodes are still being released weekly), I went on a graph traversal spree of related YouTube videos. Another great series I loved was from Fermilabs, with Dr. Don Lincoln.
