0:00.0	Hello into the Impossible Listeners this is your fearful host Brian Keating and I am so
0:06.2	thrilled that I got to participate in this live webinar conversation between two
0:11.5	titanic mathematicians, mathematical physicists,
0:15.3	Stephen Wolfram and Eric Weinstein, who both have new intriguing ideas about the nature of
0:22.2	our mathematical and perhaps physical reality.
0:25.0	I hope you'll really enjoy the conversation that we had.
0:29.0	We had a live chat.
0:30.0	You can check that out on my YouTube channel, on Dr Brian Keating the R Brian Keating and I just want to ask everybody out there if you're enjoying these
0:39.6	podcasts please please leave a rating and a review on iTunes or wherever else you're listening to this audio.
0:47.0	Because the algorithms, we are not yet able to hack and get them to promote this channel to the levels of stratospheric
0:57.8	content that we believe it deserves.

1:04.0	listeners and look forward to many many more exciting episodes like this to come.
1:10.0	Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
1:19.0	Okay, we are now live with Doctors Weinstein and Wolfram.
1:25.0	Welcome, gentlemen.
1:26.5	I'm going to just publicize that we are going live
1:29.7	and I will then ask us to introduce ourselves and we'll get started.
1:35.3	We have graciously been joined with two of the most prominent and two of my real heroes in this field that are Maverick mathematicians who are
1:48.1	Self-Made mathematicians in a way and I want to talk about how they view the current spirit of the times, the zeitgeist, as we say,
1:56.8	in terms of theories of everything that are percolating around in the atmosphere.
2:03.0	And to begin with, I'll ask my guest,
