String theory has been hailed by many as the ultimate theory of everything. But after decades of intense research and debates, more and more people feel it is leading to a dead end. One very vocal critic of string theory is my colleague Eric Weinstein, and he blessed us with this short rant on the topic! Enjoy.

Garrett Lisi is an American theoretical physicist. Lisi works as an independent researcher without an academic position. He is a proponent of a balance between scientific research and enjoyment of the outdoors. He is known for "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything," a paper proposing a unified field theory based on the E8 Lie group, combining particle physics with Einstein's theory of gravitation. The theory is incomplete and has unresolved problems.
Eric Weinstein is an American managing director of Thiel Capital, Peter Thiel's investment firm, a position he has held since 2015. Though not an academic physicist, he proposed a unified theory of physics in 2013. He and his brother Bret Weinstein coined the term Intellectual Dark Web to refer to an informal group of pundits. Eric is a vocal critic of modern academic hierarchies and advocates for advances in scientific theory over an emphasis on experimental results. We discuss funding, academic freedom, and theoretical vs experimental physics.

Have we been completely wrong about the Higgs boson? What if it’s not what we think but something far more elusive? And what does the origin of mass in the universe have to do with music?
Here today to explore these mind-bending questions is theoretical physicist Matt Strassler. Matt is known for his work in particle physics, particularly in the context of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and quantum field theory. He has been involved in research on the Higgs boson, supersymmetry, and other topics in high-energy physics.
In our insightful interview, we dive into the mysteries of quantum physics, the nature of space, and how waves—not just particles—form the building blocks of reality.
Tune in to find out how the Higgs field gives mass to everything in the universe!

Is the universe twice as old as we thought?
Current estimates suggest that the Big Bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago. But today, we’re joined by Rajendra Gupta, a luminary in the field of cosmology who claims that the universe is actually 26.7 billion years old. Ive invited him on the show so he can make a case for his claims!
Professor Gupta is a theoretical physicist currently teaching astrophysics to senior undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Ottawa. His research focuses on astrophysics, cosmology, general relativity, the dynamics of the universe under evolutionary physical constants beyond the standard model, CMB, JWST, BAO, Big Bang nucleosynthesis, the large-scale structure and formation of galaxies, dark matter, and dark energy.
To say I am thrilled to have him on the show for the second time would be an understatement.
So, without further ado, let’s jump right in!
Key Takeaways:
00:00 Intro
01:57 Judging Rajendra’s paper
05:40 Changing cosmic constants
10:52 Tired light hypothesis
14:05 Falsifying the notion that the universe is 26 billion years old
19:05 Falsifying tired light
21:49 The Big Bang and galaxy formation
28:39 Hybrid model of dark energy
33:34 The expanding universe
