Will we ever know how the universe began? Acclaimed theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder Sabine Hossenfelder argues that not only is discovering the universe’s origins an impossible task, but one that she doesn't consider worth pursuing at all. Instead, theories for the beginning of the universe are merely stories we tell ourselves. In this debate, she joins theoretical quantum physicist Ivette Fuentes and philosopher of science James Ladyman to explore the various lenses through which we perceive and study the cosmological world of the universe.

Nothing in physics may be truly fundamental. Questions whether the idea of “building blocks” in nature are increasingly outliving its usefulness, suggesting that our most basic concepts reflect the limits of human understanding rather than the structure of reality itself. Here Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder (Sabine Hossenfelder) argues that mathematics isn't real, and rather a tool we use to describe the world. If that’s the case, what would a coherent picture of the world even look like? And can physics progress without appealing to particles, things, or foundations? Watch the full debate via the link, also featuring critic of realism Hilary Lawson and celebrated philosopher of science Tim Maudlin:

Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder explains why, in a fundamental sense, those we’ve lost still exist. By looking at the core laws of nature, she reveals that the universe doesn’t actually destroy information; it only rearranges it. Because the laws of physics are reversible, every piece of matter and radiation carries the history of what it once was. In theory, a powerful enough computer could "rewind" the universe to see the past as clearly as the present. Credit: Big Think

$Why quantum theory could have a fractal structure: explained in 83 minutes. The notion of true quantum nonlocality is absurd. In the latest episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast, Prof Tim Palmer from the University of Oxford suggests that there is a hidden assumption in standard quantum mechanics, and dropping it will save us from this absurdity. Namely, the reality of counterfactuals: the physics of what could have happened but did not. Inspired by chaos theory and the fractal structure widespread in atmospheric physics, Palmer has developed a new underlying structure for quantum theory, with radical implications for our fundamental principles of quantum physics; the limits of quantum computation; and perhaps even the search for quantum gravity. Watch on my YouTube channel, or listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!$

Physicists are still working on how to make general relativity and quantum mechanics consistent. But there's one problem where they are confident they've made the two theories work together: how many bits of information can you store in a black hole?

Elite physicists are drawn to statistical mechanics because it serves as the "third pillar" of modern physics, bridging the gap between microscopic dynamical laws and the macroscopic world. Albert Einstein is often called the "grand master" of this field because he independently derived the foundations of statistical mechanics between 1902 and 1904, using these principles to prove the existence of atoms and unlock the secrets of quantum reality.

Is it time to quantize time? Everything is quantum in quantum mechanics... almost. Time remains a mysterious flowing quantity slotted in to the equations. Surprisingly, there's a model for making time quantum, with a radical consequence: the overall universe is timeless. How is it possible to experience a flow of time in a timeless universe?! Find out in my latest episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast with Simone Rijavec, Simone Rijavec! We discuss the Page-Wootters model for the emergence of time in quantum theory, and get an insight into Simone's research on the topic. Here's how physicists are solving the problem of time in quantum theory, explained in 60 minutes: 00:00 Coming Up 00:59 Intro 01:37 Simone's journey into quantum 05:04 The problem of time in quantum theory 07:07 Relational approach to time 11:12 Quantum measurement and time 17:53 Stationary universe and the Wheeler-DeWitt equation 30:18 Multiverse & block universe 31:11 How is time flowing? 34:20 Problems with wave-function collapse 36:11 What are clocks? 37:48 Resolution of time-steps 41:47 Debates on the timeless approach 45:08 Interactions with clocks 51:05 Recap 57:39 Making time fully quantum 1:00:43 Behind the Scenes

Quantum theory appears to allow some kind of connection between entangled particles, but not enough to send messages. Prof Antony Valentini argues this is a conspiracy: there must be something deeper than quantum, where nonlocality can actually be used to send messages, but it is hidden from view in standard quantum experiments. In this episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast, Valentini uses Pilot-wave theory to explain the physics of the nonlocal subquantum world. He discusses various ways that the theory could be experimentally tested, by looking for signatures of violations of the Born rule in extreme environments, such as the early universe. He also discusses the radical technological implications of subquantum physics, if we were able to harness it. Watch on YouTube or listen on audio platforms!

A new scientific understanding of human intuition: 1) We know the body engages in quantum processes despite being “warm, wet and noisy”, conditions for quantum decoherence. Quantum biology is a growing field encapsulating enzyme creation, bird navigation via avian cryptochromes and photosynthesis 2) In science and epistemology we have a problem: why do we see reality in its discrete, macroscopic form and not its probabilistic quantum form? 3) Roger Penrose hypothesized that the brain is a room temperature quantum system collapsing quantum reality into macroscopic reality. Hameroff followed up with a physical candidate for the “collapser”: the microtubules 4) Quantum systems engage in temporal non-locality (along with spatial non-locality). Some hypothesize that in a working quantum computer, we’ll be able to send information back in time. We already can reverse qubit positions in quantum computations! 5) So can the brain also engages in time travel? Why do humans need less information to make snap judgments (than, say, large language models)? Maybe because our brains can access the future. This would might explain remote viewing data as studied by the CIA’s stargate program and validated by President of the American Statistical Society, Jessica Utts (in a more physical model) *I think this this an interesting, generative theory but likely incomplete

What if physics is just the universe learning? Most Theories of Everything episodes are mind‑bending for their math, physics, philosophy, or consciousness implications. This one hits all four simultaneously. Professor Vitaly Vanchurin joins me to argue the cosmos isn't just modeled by neural networks—it literally is one. Learning dynamics aren't a metaphor for physics; they are the physics. Vanchurin shows why we need a three‑way unification: quantum mechanics, general relativity, and observers.

This is a careful lecture that can be followed with zero background knowledge. Einstein thought he'd caught quantum mechanics in an act of spookiness — this podcast asks whether he was even worried about the right thing. Tim Maudlin, professor of philosophy at NYU and a leading philosopher of physics, delivers a rare full lecture tracing Einstein, EPR, and the road to Bell's theorem. The central claim: Einstein's real objection was never determinism — "God does not play dice" is a red herring — but non-locality, which he inferred rather than assumed. Maudlin traces the argument from Einstein's overlooked 1927 Solvay objection through the EPR paper's criterion of reality, showing why Bohr's famous reply never actually answered it.

Ethereum Researcher Justin Drake, who co-authored Google's recent quantum paper: "I've stopped thinking about post-quantum as a hurdle that we have to overcome, and I think of it more as an opportunity. It's an opportunity for Ethereum to stand out as the very first global financial system that is post-quantum secure — not just relative to its competitors, but also relative to fiat and tradfi." Justin also believes quantum presents an opportunity for Ethereum to become the best version of itself: “The move to post-quantum is essentially a rewrite, and that’s a massive opportunity to start with a clean slate and wipe our technical debt.” The rewrite bundles post-quantum security with a new ZK virtual machine (LeanVM) that can snarkify the entire consensus layer in real time. The result is that the Ethereum L1 can scale to 10,000 TPS at 1 gigagas/second — while simultaneously becoming quantum-secure. Source: Bankless (Mar 2026)

We definitely live in a simulation. PROOF the we only see code not solid objects with our eyes. The phrase "everything is energy and nothing is solid" reflects modern physics, especially quantum mechanics, showing that matter isn't solid but vibrating energy fields; atoms are mostly empty space with particles as energy waves, not tiny balls, creating the illusion of solidity through electromagnetic interactions that our brains interpret, revealing reality as a dance of frequencies and potentials, not fixed objects.
