New commentary on an Alain Connes lecture that goes into noncommutative music theory again!

Hi Dr. Kastner: Yesterday I discovered another Alain Connes' lecture given to physicists who had a lot of questions for him. His "slide notes" were from 1997 but the talk was in 2015. He said he had waited to give the talk in public since what he was saying was so radical. He did his Ph.D. thesis on how the direction of time creates thermodynamics and not the other way around - due to the noncommutative math from the factorization analysis of von Neumann. This is his lecture:
So then I just started reading your book section on time's arrow and symmetry breaking. And I realized that what Connes is arguing is fundamentally different.
So I guess I have to agree with Connes on this.
Still the analysis is very radical and goes to the very depth of science!
Math Professor Ian Stewart had an article maybe 15 years ago that randomness in quantum physics is not "proven" despite it being "indeterminant."
