Sabine Hossenfelder: I Changed My Mind About Dark Matter! (#355)

Welcome everybody to an existential edition of the Into the
Impossible podcast with one of my favorite human beings and one of
your favorite human beings too, judging by my comment sections on
Twitter and YouTube – Dr. Sabine Hossenfelder! For those of you who
don’t know Sabine, she is a German theoretical physicist, talented
science communicator, bestselling author, and very successful
YouTuber.  Today, Sabine and I talk about her latest book,
Existential Physics, the current state of academia, whether we need
to reform our educational system, why Sabine keeps changing her
mind about dark matter, what the deal is with quantum computers and
