Geometric Unity: Unifying All Forces + Generations | Eric Weinstein

Recorded a few days prior to Sean Carroll on Piers Morgan. This is the first technical conversation (with Eric Weinstein) in 40 years on Geometric Unity. For the first time, Weinstein opens up fully in technical podcast form about dark matter, the missing generations, peer review, and the potential flake of GU that quietly changed the world. This is the theory he believes is the answer. I personally subscribe to The Economist. FLASH SALE to May 18: 50% off annual (double the usual!)
