Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

The New Model That Explains (Nearly) Everything | Latham Boyle

Sep 18, 2024

Latham Boyle dives into groundbreaking ideas in theoretical physics. He discusses new models of the Big Bang and the mysteries of time symmetry. The conversation tackles the cracks in the dominant universe model, pushing the boundaries of cosmology. Boyle’s insights on quantum gravity offer a fresh perspective on the universe's origins. Additionally, the exploration of practical applications, including cloud technology and cooking solutions, showcases how concepts can be turned into reality in our everyday lives.
