Interviews

• Y Combinator: Leonard Susskind on Richard Feynman, the Holographic Principle, and Unanswered Questions in Physics (Dec 2018) [YT]

  $\,$

  49:00

  S:… rules of quantum mechanics which reflect the gravitational things…, but this is gonna get us into technical discussion

  Y: let’s do it!

  S: No!

  Y: Yes!

  S grudgingly gives in

  …

  53:57

  Y: and what was the technical part you wanted to get to?

  S: uhm
