This is a breaking podcast. We're premiering a new paradigm for quantizing 4D gravity here first, without strings. Neil Turok — inaugural Higgs Chair at Edinburgh, former director of Perimeter Institute, and 2026 Fellow of the Royal Society — believes quantum gravity may not require strings, extra dimensions, or... a multiverse. The key: a 1970s theory called quadratic gravity, long abandoned over two seemingly fatal problems. Turok and Bateman argue both problems dissolve — one by reinterpreting a classical instability as ordinary gravitational expansion, the other by a subtle tweak to the Born rule that allows quantum states of negative norm without ever producing negative probabilities. One quiet assumption, Turok argues, underpins decades of string theory's necessity. Drop it, and the whole case for a multiverse unravels. Neil graciously gave me a sneak peek at his and his PhD student Sam Bateman's new research. Bleeding edge! I hope you enjoy.show more

Contemporary theoretical physics is stuck and universities stifle original thought in young people says Neil Turok, Higgs Chair of Theoretical Physics at Edinburgh and former director of the Perimeter Institute. Incredible speaking to Neil--so humble yet incredibly inspirational.

For decades, string theory promised a “theory of everything” that described all particles and forces as tiny vibrating strings. Physicists hoped it could also solve one of the field’s deepest problems: reconciling quantum mechanics with gravity. But as string theory grew increasingly elaborate—and experimentally unreachable—many physicists lost hope. Now, some researchers are revisiting the theory from first principles. Learn more:

In String Theory, it has been shown that one vibration of a closed string behaves like a graviton, the Quantum particle of gravity, revealing that gravity is already built into String Theory’s spectrum.

String Theory is one of the few frameworks that tries to describe Quantum Physics and Gravity in the same mathematical language. In this animation, the glowing loop is the string, the shifting color along it represent its quantum vibration modes, and the surrounding fabric is a proxy for Spacetime responding. When you quantize a string, one of its vibration modes behaves like a graviton. So, geometry shows up as part of the same quantum system. #StringTheory #QuantumGravity #GeneralRelativity #QuantumPhysics #TheoreticalPhysics #PhysicsVisualization

String Theory tries to unify Quantum Mechanics and gravity into a single framework by replacing particles with strings whose vibrations also shape Spacetime.

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.

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

This is an interview with Stuart Kauffman, one of the founders of complexity theory. He invented random Boolean networks at only 23 years old and helped establish the Santa Fe Institute. Now 86, he makes a striking claim: there is no theory of everything. Kauffman argues that biological evolution creates genuinely new possibilities that cannot be deduced from prior states—paralleling the ancient Chinese Tao more than Plato's Logos. He also believes he's found something new in quantum gravity (and, in his words, "genuinely huge"). He unveils it here for the first time.

Sakharov theorized that gravity came from the quantum vacuum fluctuations based on Feynman's Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) Nobel prize in 1965. Eric W. Davis says, "we already know and a lot of other physicists know that Einstein proved that gravity is not a fundamental force of nature. It emerges from the fabric of spacetime when curved." Gravity comes from energy density and is a pressure force. The Casimir effect is a negative pressure force that pushes out zero point energy fluctuations. The mainstream view of physics is woefully incomplete. We can manipulate gravity and produce 'free' energy from the zero point energy.

Why String Theory Won't Die The string theory idea refuses to die because it's one of the few frameworks that forces a quantum object and spacetime geometry into the same picture. In the render, a closed string isn’t just a loop doing pretty vibrations. Its internal phase pattern is a quantum degree of freedom, shown as color. At the same time, its motion stirs ripples in the surrounding metric, shown as the fabric below. One object, two roles. A wave-like state living on the string, and a curvature-like response spreading through the background. You can literally watch quantum stuff and gravity stuff talk to each other in the same scene. #StringTheory #Physics #QuantumMechanics #GeneralRelativity #MathematicalPhysics #SciComm

Ginestra Bianconi thinks gravity can be derived from entropy — and that gravity itself is fundamentally anti-reductionistic, since it's about geometry rather than isolated particle interactions. In this episode, the network-topologist-turned-gravity-theorist explains her "Gravity from Entropy" action, which treats matter and geometry symmetrically through a geometric quantum relative entropy (not the horizon entropy of Verlinde or Jacobson). She details why it reduces to Einstein's equations at low energy while predicting a dynamical, always-positive dark energy term (the "G field"), how it may avoid black hole singularities and reproduce the area law without invoking holography, and why she believes understanding the brain may be harder than understanding quantum gravity. We close with her advice for young researchers. I hope you enjoy.

It is not every day that I can tell you about a new explanation for the origin of the universe -- and the origin of time itself -- that is not complete bogus. But recently physicists have come up with one that works because it removes the problem of quantum gravity.

The Non-Traversable Bridge Einstein Found Inside Gravity Einstein’s equations not only describe gravity as a force but as the shape of Spacetime as well. In 1935, Einstein and Rosen found that the Schwarzschild solution could be written in a way that reveals something astonishing: Two separate exterior regions of Spacetime joined by a bridge-like throat Rᵤᵥ = 0 This became known as the Einstein-Rosen Bridge. It is often called a Wormhole, but the classical Einstein-Rosen bridge is not a science-fiction tunnel. In the standard Schwarzschild geometry, it is non-traversable. The throat does not remain open long enough for ordinary travel from one region to the other. Its real power is mathematical. It shows that General Relativity is not merely about objects moving through space. The theory allows Spacetime to have global structure such as different regions, horizons, extensions, and hidden connections that are not visible from one local patch alone. The Einstein-Rosen bridge is one of the earliest glimpses of that deeper idea. Gravity is geometry. And sometimes, geometry has two worlds joined by a throat. #Astrophysics #GeneralRelativity #Einstein #BlackHole #Spacetime #Cosmology #Gravity #Wormhole #Mathematics #Physics

String Theory needed a place for open strings to end. So, D-Branes were born. D-Branes are hidden surfaces in higher dimensions where open strings anchor and give rise to nature’s forces, while closed strings roam the surrounding space carrying gravity.

OpenAI cracked a batch of supposedly quantum-only problems on a regular laptop, and the promised advantage disappeared with them. Speed had nothing to do with it. The model hunted for hidden structure that lets an ordinary machine take the same shortcut. > CLAIM - every published problem pitched as beyond classical reach, gathered in one place > STRIP - each one reduced to the math it actually asks for, with the pitch removed > HUNT - the model searches for low-rank and sampling structure a laptop can exploit > BUILD - a classical algorithm written for every problem where that structure turned up > RACE - both approaches run on the same instance sizes and timed side by side > KEEP - only the problems that survive the race stay on the quantum list A surprising share of the list did not make it through. Several fell to careful sampling on one ordinary CPU. Their speedup leaned on an assumption, not on physics: that the classical side could only read data one entry at a time. Give the laptop the same access the quantum machine was granted, and the gap closes. None of this makes quantum computing hype. The problems that survived are now the honest ones, with the shortcut ruled out. Every survivor is a stronger case than before, because something tried hard to kill it and failed. The field rarely runs this audit on itself. Nobody gets funded for proving their own speedup was never there. Read on for the surviving problems and every one a laptop took back.

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.
