How long until we find a theory of everything | Don Lincoln

The Brief

  • Physicists have long sought a theory that could unify the laws of the universe.
  • Many features of the cosmos remain mysterious because the energies where new physics might appear are far beyond current reach.
  • The video discusses how this enormous energy-scale gap limits scientific knowledge.
  • It is presented by Fermilab's Don Lincoln.

Why watch · It explains why a unified theory of physics is so hard to test, based on the gap between accessible and possibly relevant energies.

  • Theory of everything
  • Energy scale gap
  • Particle physics

Physicists have spent generations chasing a theory that could unify the laws of the universe. So much of the cosmos stays mysterious because the energies where new physics might appear lie impossibly far beyond our reach. Join Fermilab's Don Lincoln to discover how this enormous scale gap shapes the boundaries of scientific knowledge and why the journey toward a theory of everything continues to inspire scientists. #Fermilab #TheoryofEverything #Physics #Universe #cosmos 20 Subatomic Stories: Is the Planck length really the smallest? https://youtu.be/rzB2R_qiC28
