David Sloan (FQxI’s Chief Scientific Officer) and Pinar Emirdag (FQxI Board Member) talk about the kinds of questions that don’t get answered in textbooks — the ones where even experts don’t agree. What is time, really? Why does math describe the universe so well? Where do our current theories stop making sense?
