Anyone found trying to say that only string theory M theory can and should be researched at the most fundamental level.

And the quantum gravity is the holy grail when there's no trace of this phrase before 1973, 72 is committing a grave ethical sin at a professional level.

   So I mean I'm fond of taking that line of discussion too but I think of it more as a postdiction rather than a prediction for the very reason that you mentioned. We've known about gravity. Isaac Newton wrote down a mathematical understanding of gravity. But if you imagine a counterfactual universe for instance a universe in which there was no Einstein and we did not have Einstein's general theory of relativity and yet somehow people came upon string theory and they began to study the mathematics of string theory within the math of string theory a clever string theorist would extract the genera…

   I'm going to give you a tiny little bit of evidence that this claim is actually true. The first bit of evidence is mostly rhetorical because you see a picture like this, it doesn't look very impressive. You're like, I could have drawn that. My kid could have drawn that. It's just a cartoon. I'm not going to believe your physical theory unless you show me the equations behind it. Well, here you are. This is the equation. This is what Nobel laurate Frank Wilch has dubbed the core theory of modern physics. It consists of two parts. It is general relativity, Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, an…

   This is a deep problem with quantum mechanics itself, nothing to do with gravity, relativity. The problem with quantum mechanics and relativity is really different. And I would frame it in the following way. Einstein taught us that the geometry of space and time can curve. But the way in which the curvature occurs is very gentle. Even near a black hole, it's still relatively gentle curving of space and time, except at the center of a black hole. And the problem is when you bring quantum mechanics into the story, quantum mechanics is anything but gentle, right? Heisenberg and uncertainty tells …

   From my perspective, initially it was pretty much rejected by most scientists, but it has had a certain kind of longevity and maintains it and even today more people take it seriously. Yes, I think I would slightly want to correct something you say. I would not say it's quantum gravity. It's gravitates gravitates It's just the other way around. It's the effect of quantum mechanics. Quantum gravity on quantum mechanics, not the not Okay. Okay. gravity takes us down the wrong route. Okay. So, this is perhaps is just a quibble, but I'd like to emphasize that point. It's not the kind of thing that…

   No in fact probably a 100 top physicists today want to start from the whole and derive the parts because they have understood that trying to go the other way gives you know leaves you empty-handed. Yeah. In fact, you know, string theory which tried to explain reality from the parts which are strings that vibrates [snorts] did not succeed. And you know, it took about 80 years of hard work. At one point 90% of the, you know, the physicist, the theoretical physicist were working on string theory. >> They didn't get anywhere. So that's that's telling you that no, we have to start with the wh…

    How do we know that this isn't just pure mathematics? And that would take us into a wonderful conversation along the lines of the material that we just discussed. So yeah, I think he would warm to these ideas pretty quickly. Do you think we're sort of in the realm of philosophy here? One of the criticisms that I see of string theory as somebody who doesn't understand the first thing about it is that because of this lack of experimental data, you can say that in principle it could be tested. But there are all kinds of philosophical theories that in principle we could test. Ideas about personal …
