There is something special about gravity. After decades of effort, there is still no convergence on the right way to reconcile Einstein's theory of general relativity with the framework of quantum mechanics. But a number of intriguing ideas have arisen along the way, including black hole radiation, the wave function…

What people are saying
“This was really awesome *especially* the last 15 minutes where you talked like actual physicists. That should be a regular part of the pod or maybe even some special episodes dedicated to delving deeper. Great stuff!”
“It's fascinating how prof. Harlow dismisses philosophy at first only to introduce new axioms about reality itself with "external observers". Great stuff to listen to as always!”
“Logline Timestamps - 0:00 — Welcome to Mindscape; Einstein's miraculous year and contrast with decades of stalled fundamental physics progress - 3:06 — Introduction to Daniel Harlow and his quantum gravity approaches; interview begins on ma…”
“What an articulate thoughtful guest and conversation thank you both 🎉”
