Welcome today. I'm very excited for this all-in interview with this week's Nobel laureate,

winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2025. John Martinez, John, welcome to the all-in interview.

Yeah, thanks for inviting me. I'm quite excited about this talk, and I've loved to explain to people about, you know, what this prize is all about.

All right, besties.

I think that was another epic discussion.

People love the interviews.

I could hear him talk for hours.

Absolutely.

We crushed your questions.

A minute.

We are giving people ground truth data to underwrite your own opinion. What did you going to say? That was fun. How much? I'm doing all in. Well, the Nobel Prize is the most prestigious honor and particularly in physics that I think can be awarded. You're in the record books. It's going to be an incredible ceremony coming up for you. Maybe we could go back to the beginning in your history.

I'd love to hear a little bit about, you know, where'd you grow up and how do you get started

with your interest in physics?

Well, so I grew up in San Pedro, California, and, you know, grew up there my whole time. My father is a fireman,

and my mom stayed at home, took care of us. And, you know, through the years, I was always

interested in science, technology. I'm going to say one of the things is, you know, my dad,

you know, actually didn't have a high school education,

but very smart person. He was always building things in the garage, various projects. So I grew up

kind of knowing how to build things, which also kind of tells you how things work, you know,

kind of empirical view, you know, tactical view of how physics works.

So when I took physics in high school, I actually loved it because there was actually some math

behind it and concepts and, you know, really made sense to me. And, you know, I just really,
