Unifying Nature’s Laws: The State of String Theory

cool to see Witten participating

I can't believe I can spend my weekends relaxing at home getting baked and listening to Brian freaking Greene talk about the universe. What a privilege!!!

The World Science Festival is a great gift to humanity. To see and hear the very people who are moving forward our view of the Universe is an tremendous blessing.

It's hard to imagine we live in a time where a guy like me laying on his bed one afternoon could randomly come across a discussion between a group of four people - who are at the forefront of expanding human knowledge and our understanding of reality itself. It's WILD but I'm blessed I was born in such times.

What a high profile panel! Thank you Dr. Greene for bringing it together and for the excellent moderation. Thoroughly enjoyed 💯💯💯

what a privilege to see these world leading physics professors sharing their thoughts of the most profound questions in the universe!

I understood maybe 10% of this conversation. yet i remain fascinated.

One of the best interviews I have ever seen, thank you so much !

I was pretty impressed with how everyone was able to synchronize with the graphics

Incredible that we can watch this all over the world on Youtube.. I wish more people spent their time caring about stuff like this.

This is wonderful! So happy to see everyone enjoying themselves. Exciting to see Ed Witten so animated. Thank you.

I need to watch this video again. Like a dozen times

What a fabulous panel! Thank you, Dr. Greene and WSF for this wonderful topic and panel of guests. You guys are killing it lately! Having this level of knowledge available with a simple click is amazing!

"A very simple assignment." 😂 Absolutely love this channel - such an inspiration for our little channel to try and inspire curiosity, awe and wonder as we seek to unravel the truth of the universe and our place in it. 🙌🧙🏻‍♂️✨

Congratulations Professor Greene. You are a master moderator. A virtuoso conductor. This panel discussion watched (can I say that) like a thriller. You managed to bring these difficult topics a little closer to us mere mortals by teasing out key concepts from your panelists like a maestro who gets the most of his string section (yeah, a bad pun). It was a privilege and a treat to watch this discussion.

One of Brian's best interviews. What an outstanding group of people. Thank you Brian and the physicist in this world keep up the good work.

The discussions of the senior physicists facilitated by WSF are so informative and will encourage many potential the young physicists to think. I teach classical Indian philosophy - trained in the non-dual world view and have ventured into interdisciplinary studies - especially quantum physics. Though being outside science, I can only depend upon what the scientists have discovered and have discovered. But I have learned so many things from modern physicists. I really thank the World Science Festival for what I have been learning. Philosophers are trained holistic things and sub-texts hidden among consistent or inconsistent data of science. I haven't yet heard anything which can go beyond what Advaita's Pure Existence- Consciousness- Bliss (developed in the 7th century by Sankara in Kerala, India) reflected in the joy felt by great mathematicians and path breaking scientists when they have discovered new truths

Thanks a lot to WSF. For inviting these heavy-duty & outstanding professors. I learn every day. Great discussion!.

thank you all. excellent panel and discussion.

Such a riveting conversation! The expedition from pursuing a unified theory to grappling with the amalgamation of quantum mechanics and general relativity proves to be genuinely captivating. String theory, in its endeavor to unite particles through oscillating strings, introduces a distinctive outlook to the quest. Eagerly anticipating further profound insight.
