The search for a unified theory that includes gravity and black holes continues, with the assumption that some physical ideas or mathematical tools are still missing for a proper understanding and formulation of the problem to find a solution that resembles the real world.
1:10:15 - 1:15:27 (05:11)
Summary
The search for a unified theory that includes gravity and black holes continues, with the assumption that some physical ideas or mathematical tools are still missing for a proper understanding and formulation of the problem to find a solution that resembles the real world. Including black holes in the theory is crucial to make predictions about certain phenomena, but the inclusion of quantum mechanics leads to paradoxes that further complicate the search.

In higher dimensions, mathematicians use surgery to maneuver dimensions, but in four dimensions, they can't be moved as easily, which is why it's so complicated.
1:29:35 - 1:30:53 (01:18)
Summary
In higher dimensions, mathematicians use surgery to maneuver dimensions, but in four dimensions, they can't be moved as easily, which is why it's so complicated. This may explain why string theory posits three extra dimensions instead of four.
