@@ZeroOskul , Your question is very hard to answer in the way you have asked it, because the list you gave are completely unrelated things. What does a bows einstein condensate and have to do with gravity? Very little to nothing! And Einstein debunk string theory. Einstein spent much of his life trying to come up with a unified theory, something like string theory, but eventually he ran into problems that could not be solved. String theory is a separate but likely parallel model to the things you have listed; and each item in the list you made has its own strengths and weaknesses. put your list makes no sense it's just a random collection of scientific terms you're trying to make sound like thing. None of them are complete models for theory of gravity or a theory of everything.

People need to understand how great this podcast is. Never before has the public ever had the opportunity to listen to soo many conversations between two people at the VERY top of there respective (and receptive) fields and understand each other completely. Lex, THANK YOU

I think if these talks do anything it's simply prove that these people are not special at all and anyone can do what they do if they just have the interest and motivation. The only person I've heard on these podcasts so far that has been on an other level was Joscha Bach, all the rest have not only shown that they're basic humans but deeply flawed humans that are no different from anyone else. I appreciate their work and contribution and everything, but no more or less than the plumber. The way you're deifying them and trying to raise yourself to the pedestal you've put them on by putting others down shows clearly that you don't feel like you'll ever measure up. If you manage to change your perspective one day you'll see these talks as inspiring because it shows that you too can do this because they show that no special intelligence or super human ability is required. Now answer this, can you even afford a plumber?

His two books on "the theoretical minimum" are fantastic

One of my favorite talks. Absolutely love Leonard Susskind. Such a great teacher and legend.

The fact that Leonard Susskind at his 80( at the time of the interview) has this mental clarity and he is able to reflect on all those aspects with such limpidity is astonishing.

This interview is a treasure. You obviously do your pre-interview work, ask good questions and have solid edits. Thank you.

I could listen to Professor Susskind talk all day, one of my favorite physicists and lecturers ever. Can’t wait for him to publish the next book in The Theoretical Minimum

Leonard Susskind is a legend! Great interview. Thanks for uploading. I've been watching Leonard's lectures for years online. He's one of the best teachers out there.

I love Susskind man. Altough I don't get all things he said , I understand some of them. Wht a pleasure we listen to these men on our phones. I'm 37 years old I coudn't imagine this in my childhood. Thank u from Türkiye.

Susskind is a great guest always happy to listen to him talk about physics, also impressed at the variety of people you've managed to nab for the podcast. Keep it up!

Excellent conversation. Thanks for that. I find Susskind not just more informative, but more enjoyable to listen to than any other public facing physicist. Such a relief and a change of pace from others that he doesn't take the whole "Now this is *really* gonna blow your mind" angle with everything he talks about. Like a fresh cool breeze over my brain whenever I get the chance to listen to him. And great work interviewing him, calm collected and prepared. I really like that analogy to music, and I'd have to say where most other people are playing Big Band, Susskind is playing jazz. Dig it.

@Lex Fridman, I found your podcasts just a few months ago and I am deeply impressed with the guests you interview and your ability to discuss a very wide range of topics with them. Please keep it up, this really is excellent work!

as a complete layman, I was able to grasp an understanding of this concepts and I got my heart racing a few times just thinking of the consequences of what I was hearing, this was absolutely epic discussion, thank you so much for sharing this!!

The best episode yet. Fantastic interview with a legend.

Thanks Lex. I was waiting for a podcast with Leonard Susskind after watching tens of his lectures on quantum mechanics and general relativity. I wasn't expecting it to be honest but here you go. That's simply amazing .. can't thank you much Lex ..

Amazing interview. Privileged to hear the greatest minds in the world speak on universal scale problems.

Thank you, Lex, for arranging and putting out this refreshing conversation. Good questions from you and very interesting and thought-provoking responses from Leonard. What a lovely man he is.

Wow. This is great insight. Love it. What incredible minds roam this world. These interviews are inspiring. Thank you ❤

Leonard Susskind has a wonderful ability to explain things to a lay person. His ability to abstract things such that you can understand things built on top of that abstraction without realising thta he is abstracting a lot os details is wonderful. There is also a down to earth nature and his honesty that permeates through his style of speaking and the language he uses that make me want to listen to the stuff he is speaking. Thanks Lex for the work you are doing bringing people from different fields talk about ideas.

THE ULTIMATE UNDERSTANDING OF SPACE AS ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE): A PHOTON may be placed at the center of THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), as the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the SPEED OF LIGHT; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. The ability of THOUGHT to DESCRIBE OR RECONFIGURE sensory experience is ULTIMATELY dependent upon the extent to which THOUGHT IS SIMILAR TO sensory experience. THOUGHTS ARE INVISIBLE. E=mc2 is DIRECTLY AND FUNDAMENTALLY DERIVED FROM F=ma. F=ma AND E=mc2 PROVE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY, AS ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE). This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND describes what is possible/potential AND ACTUAL IN BALANCE. Indeed, energy has/involves GRAVITY; AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent WITH/AS what is BALANCED ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL FORCE/ENERGY, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ACCORDINGLY, gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. SO, GRAVITATIONAL FORCE/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. THEREFORE, "mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. It ALL makes perfect sense. GREAT !!!!! Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ACCORDINGLY, a given PLANET (INCLUDING WHAT IS THE EARTH) sweeps out equal areas in equal times; AND this is THEN consistent WITH/AS F=ma, E=mc2, AND WHAT IS PERPETUAL MOTION; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ACCORDINGLY, the rotation of the Moon MATCHES it's revolution. It is PROVEN. It ALL makes perfect sense. Therefore, objects fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course); AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Very importantly outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is FULLY INVISIBLE AND black. Get a good LOOK at what is THE EYE. NOW, the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. GREAT. GRAVITATIONAL FORCE/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. This ALSO explains the supergiant stars, the cosmological redshift, AND the black hole(s). "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. It ALL makes perfect sense. MAGNIFICENT !!! F=ma AND E=mc2 PROVE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. GREAT. Points are POINTS. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. THINK about it ALL. Beautiful. By Frank DiMeglio

Thank you so much!!! Lenny is a living legend.

Wish there was a weekly podcast like this with Mr Susskind, I could listen to him talk for hours and hours, sadly they have become really rare.

A really enjoyable conversation. Thank you both. Leonard seems like such a wise and modest chap. I feel like this could have gone on for longer though. Any chance of a round 2?
