The Promise of String Theory and the Unity of Mathematics and Physics
1:21:36 - 1:34:12 (12:36)
The world of theoretical physics, specifically string theory, may seem devoid from a connection to the physical world, but the promise of experimental validation and the belief in the unity of mathematics and physics drive continued exploration.
Clips
Theoretical physicist discusses the promise and challenges of string theory, and the idea that there is no difference between physics and mathematics, that all mathematics is realized in the physical world and all physics has a firm mathematical basis.
