  • Wide open perspectives

    I just discovered this man’s podcast and I am very impressed. How could I not be? A discussion of Kierkegaard and then discussions about neuroscience, consciousness and physics. A wide ranging mind here. Fabulous.

  • Mixed feelings

    There have been some great philosophers and scientists on the show, but some of the episodes veer into pseudoscience.

  • Embarrassing

    I tried as hard as I could to listen to the "Christian Symbolism" episode with an open mind, however, it was like listening to Dum and Dumber, I never laughed so much at a podcast as I did listening to these two. The "expert" obviously has never formally studied religion in any way shape or form, and was literally battling to string a half knowledgeable sentence together. If your podcast is "Theories of Everything", at least have guests who knows what they talking about. If you're not embarrasse... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Erik Verlinde: This Physicist (Unexpectedly) Derived Gravity from Information
Q: How do you view the relationship between your and Ted Jacobson's theories?
Jacobson assumes space-time, while my approach emerges space-time from underlying principles.
Erik Verlinde: This Physicist (Unexpectedly) Derived Gravity from Information
Q: What motivated you to get into physics, and how did your line of thinking change?
I followed my own intuition and realized that the quest for a final theory was hubris. There are always deeper questions to explore.
Erik Verlinde: This Physicist (Unexpectedly) Derived Gravity from Information
Q: Do you think we will ever be able to write down the fundamental laws?
I think as humans, we will always make progress, but I don't believe that we will ever get to what would be the fundamental laws.
Subir Sarkar: Why Dark Energy is a Local Illusion
Q: What can you tell me about the supernova discovery that led to the Nobel Prize?
The discovery involved two teams and 100 supernovae, but there were overlaps, and their methods were not entirely independent, leading to questions about the validity of their five sigma results.
Subir Sarkar: Why Dark Energy is a Local Illusion
Q: Do you think the 2011 Nobel Prize was prematurely awarded?
It is not really for me to say, but historically, the Nobel committee has been conservative, and although there is pressure to promote certain results, the award was significant for establishing cosmology as a physical science despite the ongoing questions.
