Eric Weinstein is a mathematician with a bold and piercing
intelligence, unafraid to explore the biggest questions in the
universe and shine a light on the darkest corners of our society.
He is the host of The Portal podcast, a part of which, he
recently released his 2013 Oxford lecture on his theory of
Geometric Unity that is at the center of his lifelong efforts in
arriving at a theory of everything that unifies the fundamental
laws of physics.
