  • Resumen

  • Edward Witten in this episode confronts one of the most profound problems in modern physics: the fundamental inconsistency between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. General Relativity, Einstein's grand description of gravity and spacetime, is nonlinear by nature — curving the very fabric of the cosmos. But when we try to blend this smooth geometric picture with the jittery, probabilistic world of quantum mechanics, things break down. Furthermore attempts to to quantize gravity using standard methods that simply falls apart.

    This conversation is a journey through the breakthroughs and paradoxes that continue to reshape the foundations of physics.
