A Boltzmann brain is not real, but what’s fascinating about it is that it thinks it’s real, and all the memories and experiences it has are real. But, of course, this brain is not real. But how would such a brain know that its memories are artificial and its existence is more like a hallucination? How would we know that we aren’t those artificial brains? This is the Boltzmann Brain paradox, the result of Ludwig Boltzmann’s many years of debate with other scientists on his interpretation of entropy. In this video, we discuss the Boltzmann brain in simple terms and understand why we humans are real and not Boltzmann brains!
