Theories of Everything: Cosmic Controversies, Great Debates, and Scientific Speculations — Part 2 (#063)

  Experimental evidence for any current Theory of Everything
is, at best, inconclusive. This is perhaps the greatest fundamental
challenges facing physics. That lack of progress has opened up a
sea of controversy. Welcome to the second in our two-event series
about Theories of Everything! Watch the first one:

join my mailing list: http://briankeating.com/mailing_list.php to
receive “conference proceedings” and other goodies from these
events. 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 Matt O’Dowd, Lee Smolin, Sabine Hossenfelder, and
Eric Weinstein for helping us create this great event. Our Guests’
