About six months ago, Julian Barbour did a introductory-level talk, attempting to explain the ideas in his book ‘The End of Time’. The topic of his book, Yudkowsky has blogged about several times, but to the non-mathsy non-physicists, this talk might be a good introduction. It’s very easygoing, and has also persuaded me to buy his book.
