You can say that the lack of a deterrent is a deterrent for physicists who are trying to make sense of quantum mechanics. But you wouldn't be talking about physics if we didn't have the laws ofquantumphysics and so on.

In this episode, based on the cover story from Skeptic magazine 26.1 (2021), Michael speaks with University of California professor of physics Brian Keating about: time, infinity, the shape of the universe, the multiverse, quantum gravity, string theory, the laws of nature, and more… Listen to this fascinating episode for free and order a copy of the Skeptic magazine 26.1 to read Keating’s cover story, complete with splendid graphics, charts, and illustrations (in print or digital formats).
