Welcome to The Fundamental Why, a biweekly podcast where we dive deep into the fundamentals of physics and philosophy through engaging 15-minute conversations. What sets us apart? We don’t just talk about complex ideas—we break them down from the ground up, asking the "why" behind the "what" and exploring the connections between science, thought, and the human experience.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1 | The Nature of Time
Q: How does time relate to the Big Bang? What was time like before the Big Bang?
Before the universe originated from the Big Bang, there may have been no change, suggesting that time did not exist, as time is linked to change.
1 | The Nature of Time
Q: Why can we only move forward through the dimension of time and not back?
Time is different from spatial dimensions; in our experience, time moves forward due to the increase of entropy, which leads to more disorder over time.
3 | The End of the Universe
Q: Is there any value in even understanding the end of the universe?
Yes, because investigating the end of the universe may lead to accidental discoveries that could have significant impacts.
2 | The Birth of the Universe
Q: What caused the birth of the universe?
The discussion suggests a few possibilities: quantum fluctuations, the philosophical stance that it's nonsense to ask such a question, or the idea of a god-like entity responsible for creation.
