i think we have to respect philosophy not for calculating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, but because it raises questions about existence. An einstein was guided by one question, and that question was, did god have a choice? Could he have created another universe different from ours? And that's what guided much of weinstein's research.
This week on the penguin podcast, Nihal Arthanayake is joined by theoretical physicist, futurist, and popularizer of science, Michio Kaku. Together they discuss string theory, the unifying threads of different religious beliefs, human curiosity and the barriers to scientific thinking.
