Why Our Dreams of a Final Theory Might Remain Dreams - The Search for a Unified Theory of Physics

Explore a thought-provoking video lecture examining the decades-long scientific pursuit of a unified theory of everything and why such a theory might be unattainable. Delve into the challenges of reconciling Einstein's theories with the standard model of particle physics while addressing the complexities of explaining all masses and interactions within the standard model. Learn why finding a final, comprehensive theory that bridges these fundamental aspects of physics may remain an elusive dream, supported by scientific reasoning and theoretical limitations. Engage with the material through an accompanying quiz to test understanding of these complex physics concepts and philosophical implications.
