director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities at the
University of London and a senior researcher at the University of
Ljubljana’s Department of Philosophy. He was also the guest for
episodes 109—on psychoanalysis, wokeness, racism, and a hundred
other topics—and 118, where he appeared with Sean Carroll to
discuss quantum physics, the multiverse, and time travel. Lee
Smolin is a founding and senior faculty member at the Perimeter
Institute for Theoretical Physics, and the author of a number of
bestselling books, including The Trouble with Physics (Mariner,
2006). He was the guest for episode 148, in which he and Robinson
discussed presentism, the foundations of mathematics, and the
philosophy of quantum mechanics. In this episode, Robinson,
Slavoj, and Lee discuss time, space, superposition, and other
concepts at the core of physics, as well as postmodernism, the
big bang, problems with democracy, and much more. Lee is also an
Honorary Fellow of the John Bell Institute for the Foundations of
Physics. If you’re interested in the foundations of physics—which
you absolutely should be—then please check out the JBI, which is
devoted to providing a home for research and education in this
important area. Any donations are immensely helpful at this early
stage in the institute’s life. Lee’s Website:
