Einstein dreamed of a unified theory of nature’s laws. String theory has long promised to deliver it: a mathematically elegant description that some have called a “theory of everything.” Join one of the most influential groups of theorists ever assembled on a single stage to evaluate the current state of this most ambitious of theories. • The Big Ideas Series is supported in part by the John Templeton Foundation. • Participants: • David Gross • Andrew Strominger • Edward Witten • Moderator: • Brian Greene • 00:00 - Introduction • 02:45 - Participant introductions • 04:16 - Lord Kelvin and the end of physics • 10:32 - Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity • 18:15 - What is Quantum Field Theory? • 26:12 - 1984 and the String Theory breakthrough • 32:02 - Understanding the strong nuclear force • 40:18 - Summary of String theory through time • 48:09 - Where are we now in the journey of String Theory? • 53:55 - Can String Theory give incite on Black Holes and the Big Bang? • 1:02:12 - Has String Theory inspired breakthroughs in mathematics? • 1:08:40 - Anti De sitter space / conformal field theory • 1:16:00 - Has thinking changed by what has been found through String Theory? • 1:24:00 - Final thoughts on the current state of String Theory • SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS on this program through a short survey: • https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/764113... • WSF Landing Page: https://www.worldsciencefestival.com/... • SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube Channel and ring the bell for all the latest videos from WSF • VISIT our Website: http://www.worldsciencefestival.com • LIKE us on Facebook: / worldsciencefestival • FOLLOW us on Twitter: / worldscifest • #worldsciencefestival #stringtheory #briangreene #EdwardWitten #AndrewStrominger #DavidGross • #stringtheory #physics #briangreene #EdwardWitten
