How physics went astray: public physics got stuck on string theory and quantizing gravity while private, more vital physics went black. The only way to get “back to the future” is to reinvestigate where we went wrong in the past

Jimmy Carr drops a wild take on AI + physics "Strip the screens away, and we're still living in the 1970s. Nothing real has happened in physics since 1972. String theory? Nowhere. But point AI at real physics now? Everything else is just stamp collecting. Physics gave us all our technology. We could get a 50x productivity leap and true human flourishing... or it could go the other way." The real revolution isn't just AI—it's AI meeting physics. 1:02 clip inside—mind-blowing perspective.

Why Are Some People Still Taking String Theory Seriously? String theory is controversial, but it is still one of the few ideas that tries to describe Quantum Physics and Gravity in one picture. This animation points to one of its best-known ideas: Holography. What happens on the boundary helps determine what happens in the interior, so the edge seems to shape the bulk.

Eric Weinstein unleashes a bombshell: Theoretical physics froze in 1973—right as "Crocodile Rock" topped the charts—and hasn't advanced at the deepest level since. Youngest living Nobel in theoretical physics? Always under 50... until string theory took over as "quantum gravity." Now it's over 70. The field stopped producing breakthroughs. His wild claim: The Biden White House reportedly told Marc Andreessen they deliberately stagnated parts of theoretical physics—cocooning string theory as the "only game in town." Dissenting ideas? Career suicide. The trick? Hammer "quantum gravity is the holy grail" on repeat until it feels true. (Weirdly, that phrase barely appears in books before 1972.) Safe, harmless pursuit—no real risk even if foreign students dive in. Why? To avoid dangerous progress that could shatter the speed-of-light limit and get us to the stars... before humanity's tools become too lethal on one fragile planet. Weinstein's rallying cry: Physics is our only path off Earth. Break the stagnation, surpass Einstein, reach the cosmos. The end of physics as we know it might be glorious—if we seize this brief window before wars erupt. Clip from his ARC 2025 talk (4:05 of high-stakes provocation). Does this ring true—the deliberate stall on breakthrough physics? Or is string theory just a victim of its own complexity? What's your take on the "holy grail" mantra?

D-Branes and the Expansion of String Theory String Theory was already attempting to do something huge by trying to describe particles, forces, and gravity in one framework. Branes made that picture much richer. When Physicists found that open strings can end on objects called D-branes, many important ideas became easier to organize. Things like gauge fields, black hole microstates, holography, and deep dualities gained a clearer place inside the theory. They showed that String Theory is not only about tiny vibrating strings, but also about larger structures that help connect Quantum Physics, Geometry, and Gravity.

In this episode, I speak with Professor Felix Finster, a radical thinker reimagining the foundations of physics. We explore his theory of causal fermion systems, where reality emerges from quantum correlations—without assuming spacetime or geometry. From the Dirac sea to quantum gravity, this conversation challenges familiar concepts and offers a glimpse into where the next physics revolution might begin.

Techno-optimists dream of a future where we mine, travel to, and colonize other planets – all in the hopes of bypassing the problems we now face on Earth. But from the perspective of physics and ecology, how feasible is space colonization?

Hidden on this 34-person team: the guy who wrote the physics engine for Angry Birds (Box2D) AND Blizzard's internal physics engine (Domino). "He's so shy and so humble, he was at a GDC talk about Angry Birds physics and just went up and said 'yeah, I wrote that physics engine.'" Also: the Overwatch netcode engineer built their custom networking. This tiny team is stacked.

Eric Weinstein unleashes a chilling take on physics: The field froze in 1973—no meaningful change to the Lagrangian (the core mathematical engine of physics) since then, despite decades of effort. "No new ideas about how to change the Lagrangian that anybody finds exciting... Nobody goes to Stockholm to get a Nobel Prize because they changed the Lagrangian of the world." He argues a bizarre force field slams anyone exploring truly revolutionary ideas—like multiple dimensions of time or breakthroughs that could upend power balances—while physics is the only profession without full free speech. Under the "Restricted Data" doctrine (from the 1946/1954 Atomic Energy Acts & "Born Secret"), any new physics insight that might relate to nuclear weapons becomes classified the instant it's written or spoken—even if you're not in government. Violate it? You could face Espionage Act charges, potentially capital offenses. Weinstein's bet: There's no secret government physics office holding breakthroughs. Instead, smart people long ago decided open physics was too dangerous—because real advances could hand the President fusion power or worse. "The Department of Energy is really the Department of Physics... We're scared of the possibility of physics? We don't even want to talk about it." Clip from this 3:49 mind-bender—physics as the silenced superpower. Does this explain the stagnation... or is string theory just a dead-end distraction? Is physics deliberately "safe" to avoid existential risks? Your take—drop it below.

Here's my conversation with Don Lincoln about some of the biggest open questions in physics, including dark energy, dark matter, the matter-antimatter imbalance, quantum vacuum, quantum foam, and the quest to unify the laws of physics. Don is a particle physicist at Fermilab who has spent decades working at the frontiers of high energy physics. He is also a great teacher & writer. I highly recommend his courses & books. One of my favorite lecture series he has given is The Evidence for Modern Physics where he breaks down the experiments that validate some of the weird laws of physics we have, and what it would take to validate even the weirder ones. It's not enough to come up with a beautiful theory. You also have to show through experiment that the theory is likely to be correct. This process often doesn't get the love it deserves, even though it's often the most important and difficult part of the scientific process. I ❤️ physics. The conversation is here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).
