Overview
Explore the quest for a unified 'theory of everything' in physics through this hour-long podcast episode featuring host Miriam Frankel and physicists Vlatko Vedral and Chanda Prescod-Weinstein. Delve into the fundamental question of whether a single theory can successfully bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and cosmic-scale physics, while examining if such unification is truly necessary for our understanding of the universe. Part of the Great Mysteries of Physics podcast series from The Conversation and FQxI, this discussion complements other episodes covering fundamental physics concepts like time, fine-tuning of the universe, multiverse theory, objective reality, and consciousness.
