Physics Explains The Time Beyond Time

Episode Summary

I interviewed the Nobel laureate and theoretical physicist Steven Weinberg to understand physics as the bedrock of science, its efforts to explain the world and answer questions about the universe. What, if anything, came before the Big Bang and before the period of Inflation? How real are string theory and the multiverse? Does anyone really understand quantum mechanics? And will we ever fully understand the nature of reality?
