Summary

What are the Leading Theories of Everything? In this 90 minute summit with some of the world’s leading physicists, we’ll go beyond the hype into the heart and soul of physics. The search for a theory that finishes what Einstein began and ties together all the forces of the universe. Can that ever be achieved ? Will it be achieved? When? Is physics stuck in 1920? Join @matt_of_earth and @DrBrianKeating on @PBSSpaceTime with some of the world’s leading physicists for two 90 minute webinars on #TheoriesOfEverything https://www.pbsspacetime.com/events the promo video https://youtu.be/iozCwyjxhyY And stay tuned for Part 2 with Lisa Randal, Sabine Hossenfelder, Lee Smolin and Eric Weinstein! ‍♂️ Find Brian Keating on Twitter at https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating Find Brian Keating on Instagram at https://instagram.com/DrBrianKeating Buy Brian’s book LOSING THE NOBEL PRIZE: http://amzn.to/2sa5UpA Subscribe for more great content https://www.youtube.com/DrBrianKeating?sub_confirmation=1 ✍️Detailed Blog posts here: https://briankeating.com/blog.php Join my mailing list: http://briankeating.com/mailing_list.php Join my Facebook Group: https://facebook.com/losingthenobelprize ️Please subscribe, rate, and review the INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE Podcast on iTunes: Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Welcome everyone so this is a very special and rather unusual event
0:04.4	space time has always been about digging towards the deepest layers of reality
0:08.8	for nearly a hundred years it's felt like we've been hovering just above the bottom layer.
0:15.0	And so my friend and colleague Brian Keating and I decided that the fun thing to do would be to bring together today's
0:21.0	frontline researchers in physics, experimental and theoretical for a real conversation.
0:27.0	So Brian is a distinguished professor at the University of California, San Diego, director of the
0:32.0	Simons Observatory, and host of the Into Impossible
0:36.0	Podcast, where you will find the craziest line of the most incredible guests.
0:41.5	So please check that out. He's also the author of the book
0:44.3	losing the Nobel Prize so if you want to know more about Brian and his amazing work trying to
0:49.8	understand the origins of the universe. That's where to look.
0:53.0	So, Brian, thanks for joining us.
0:56.2	Yeah, thanks Matt, and thanks to the whole PBS,
0:59.7	space time studios family out there in cyberspace. This has been a dream for me to talk
1:05.0	not only with with Matt and his team but also with my good buddies. Today we
1:09.9	have Stefan Alexander who I've known for I'm embarrassed to say what fraction of the
1:14.4	universe we've known each other for. Max Tagmark I've known him almost as long and
1:19.1	James Beecham a huge fan of fellow experimentalists looking to solve some of the world's
1:24.4	greatest problems in the world of physics and today is quite fitting.
1:28.0	It's two occasions are marked today. Well one specifically today is Carl Popper's would have been Carl Popper's
1:34.9	118th birthday and I some say he doesn't look a day over 70 but but Carl of course
1:41.8	is cast a large shadow
