Watch the first one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_izocEgArtQPlease subscribe to Brian Keating's YouTube Channel to watch one-on-one interviews with the guest speakers and more: https://www.youtube.com/DrBrianKeatingExisting Theories of Everything have not yet produced experimental evidence that solves the fundamental challenges facing physics. That lack of progress has opened up a sea of controversy, from disagreements about the very necessity of TOEs, to questioning the cost/benefit of mega-billion dollar particle accelerators in search of them, to the emergence of competing TOEs from physicists outside of the academic community. In this 90 minute chat we dive into the existential questions around TOEs.Special thanks to Brian Keating, Lee Smolin, Sabine Hossenfelder, and Eric Weinstein for helping us create this great event.Our Guests' Work: Sabine HossenfelderYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/SabineHossenfelderLost in Math: How Beauty Led Physics Astray: https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/sabine-hossenfelder/lost-in-math/9781541646766/ Eric WeinsteinThe Portal Podcast: https://ericweinstein.org/The Portal Wiki: https://projects.theportal.wiki/Lee SmolinEinstein's Unfinished Revolution: The Search for What Lies Beyond the Quantumhttps://www.amazon.com/Einsteins-Unfinished-Revolution-Search-Quantum/dp/1594206198/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=lee+smolin&qid=1597087375&s=books&sr=1-1Time Reborn: From the Crisis in Physics to the Future of the Universehttps://www.amazon.com/Time-Reborn-Lee-Smolin/dp/0544245598/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=lee+smolin&qid=1597087375&s=books&sr=1-2Three Roads to Quantum Gravityhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0465094546/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tpbk_p1_i3The Trouble With Physics: The Rise of String Theory, The Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/061891868X/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tpbk_p1_i2The Life of the Cosmoshttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0195126645/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tpbk_p1_i4 Learn more about your ad choices.
