Tim Palmer: Fractal Geometry May Unify Relativity and Quantum Theory

Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

Tim Palmer joins Curt Jaimungal to discuss progress and persistent challenges in fundamental physics, covering the successes of the Standard Model, unresolved issues in quantum mechanics and general relativity, and the implications of quantum entanglement and non‑locality for our understanding of the universe. The conversation explores how these tensions shape the search for a unified theory.
