Interviews with theoretical physicists
Based on freshness and the participants' profile rank
Being rational necessarily involves engagement with probability. Given two possible courses of action, it can be rational to prefer the one that could possibly result in a worse outcome, if there's also a substantial probability for an even better outcome. But one's attitude toward risk -- averse, tolerant, or even see
Sean Carroll: The Crisis in (Fundamental) Physics is Worse Than You Think...
Sean Carroll is a theoretical physicist and cosmologist specializing in dark energy, general relativity, and quantum mechanics. Sean is a research professor at Caltech and a prolific author known for his books "The Big Picture" and "Something Deeply Hidden," which explore the intersection of science, philosophy, and th
Leonard Susskind: Strings, Quarks, Black Holes, and More.
I was very happy to finally have the opportunity to have an extended conversation for our podcast with renowned theoretical physicist Lenny Susskind. Lenny has been a friend and colleague for many years. I remember first attending a lecture he gave at a conference when I was an undergraduate and recognizing what a powe
Sean Carroll: Quantum Mechanics and the Many Worlds Interpretation
In this episode, I interview renowned theoretical physicist Sean Carroll to discuss his book Something Deeply Hidden. Sean breaks down complex ideas in quantum mechanics and cosmology in his popular science books. His research involves theoretical physics and astrophysics, especially cosmology, field theory, and gravit
#341: Lawrence Krauss - On Religion, Academia, Space Exploration & More
Lawrence Krauss is an internationally known theoretical physicist and bestselling author, as well as being an acclaimed lecturer. He has also appeared regularly on radio and television, as well as in several feature films. He received his PhD from MIT and then moved to the Harvard Society of Fellows. Following eight ye
Daron Acemoglu on Technology, Inequality, and Power
Change is scary. But sometimes it can all work out for the best. There's no guarantee of that, however, even when the change in question involves the introduction of a powerful new technology. Today's guest, Daron Acemoglu, is a political economist who has long thought about the relationship between economics and polit
