The Theory of Everything: Can Physics Be Unified?
Season 1
Episode 22
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
This episode explores the scientific quest for a Theory of Everything — a single framework capable of unifying all physical laws. From Maxwell’s electromagnetism to Einstein’s relativity, physics has advanced through bold acts of unification. Yet a fundamental divide remains: quantum mechanics and gravity refuse to reconcile.
We examine leading proposals such as string theory and loop quantum gravity, along with the mathematical and conceptual obstacles they face. Is a final theory within reach — or is the search for ultimate understanding an endless horizon?
A critical analysis of physics’ grandest ambition and the limits of human knowledge.
