Is Reality Really Real? With Donald Hoffman

What was said

"I have a group, we're starting something called the trace research institute and it's going to be coming out in June actually being announced in June and I have some mathematicians and physicists working with me and we have eight specific mathematical conjectures that I'm hoping to prove in the next three years."

Hoffman announces a new research institute launching June 2026 aimed at proving spacetime emerges from more fundamental observer-based mathematics. The team plans to demonstrate special relativity, general relativity, and quantum field theory can be derived from Markov chain observation theory, potentially explaining phenomena like UAPs as interactions with beings operating in higher-dimensional headsets.
