Exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner. If you'd like to support this endeavor, then please visit the Patreon ( https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal ). Thank you for your charitable and kindhearted support.
My name's Curt Jaimungal, a Torontonian with a degree in mathematical physics from the University of Toronto and I analyze various Theories of Everything from this analytic perspective, though more and more opening up to alternative approaches. The separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, we're increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information.

Consciousness, Free Will, The Subconscious, Quantum Mechanics | George Musser
In this talk at Mindfest 2024, George Musser explores whether free will can exist in a universe governed by laws, suggesting that our limited understanding of quantum mechanics might offer the illusion of free will.

The (Simple) Theory That Explains Everything | Neil Turok
Neil Turok joins Curt Jaimungal and Theories of Everything to discuss his new hypothesis regarding the origins of the universe, building on Stephen Hawking's geometrical model to propose a theoretical approach that avoids the singularity at the Big Bang by suggesting a minimal, mirror universe scenario without requiring inflation.

Customer Reviews
Careful and in depth interviews with important thinkers
Curt prepares assiduously for his interviews and asks clear and concise questions that bring out the best in his interviewees. He is serious about getting to the bottom of things and the topics he covers sure are deep. I highly recommend giving them a listen, though not right before sleep as you just might end up lying in bed pondering the imponderables for hours!
