Explore the intersection of physics and mathematics in this 47-minute lecture by theoretical high energy physicist Hossein Yavartanoo. Delve into the concept of "Physmatics" as Yavartanoo discusses his research on quantum field theory, string theory, black hole physics, and the holographic principle. Investigate fundamental questions about the building blocks of spacetime and matter, and learn how string theory provides a framework for unifying quantum theory with gravity. Gain insights into Yavartanoo's current focus on studying quantum aspects of black holes and discover how this cutting-edge research contributes to our understanding of the universe's fundamental nature.
