The Breakthrough in Physics We’ve Been Waiting For

Professor Ivette Fuentes is a leading theoretical physicist specializing in quantum information and quantum gravity, holding a PhD from Imperial College London. Ivette is currently collaborating with Sir Roger Penrose on groundbreaking research exploring the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity, particularly focusing on the role of quantum effects in the nature of spacetime.

[rawleystanhope]

This might be my favorite TOE interview. She is so wonderful. Her “maximumly curious” approach to science (and art) is quite inspiring

[hn]

Brilliant discussion, amazing guest. Looking forward to learning about her results

[derrickdaugherty]

That was riveting and reaffirming I'm not insane. I couldn't stop watching. I'm so exited to follow her progress!

[jayk]

She is a delightful physicist. Her enthusiasm is infectious and perspective is refreshing.

[albertperks]

I like her enthusiasm and curiosity - it burns bright! 😃

[alexjbriiones]

Curt, this has been by far one of the best podcasts I have seen. Ivette was interesting and bursting with new ideas from beginning to end. I would not be surprised if she gets a Nobel for the Quantum Frequency Interferometer. These ideas a simply revolutionary to unifying GR and QM. Loved every minute of it and I had to come back to my computer to let you know.

[zerwasky]

10 minutes in, and it was so beautiful to listen to her story of how she got the reference letter.

[quantummotion]

Dr. Fuentes' comparison of string theory to epicycles, IS EXACTLY what I felt string theory was doing - simply adding dimensions to cover the bits the math couldn't explain.

[ranjeettunes]

Ivette Fuentes seems like a grounded scientist. So refreshing! Her insights and approach to these fundamental issues are clear eyed and exciting! Great talk! Thank you!

[wills]

Your channel is wild, man. By far the most exciting guests and interviews.

[rogerfroud]

This is what science really needs to advance. There's been way too much theoretical work that has no experimental foundation. Proposing experiments that reveal otherwise untested ideas is surely going to be much more productive than the purely theoretical approach.

[dthomason]

It is refreshing to see a theoretical physicist that knows that experiments are important.

[michaelbartlett]

Curt, your interview with Ivette was excellent and the the times you interrupted with questions gave more clarity to the discussion for the viewers.

[TheMikesylv]

Curt is providing a place where anyone can come and talk freely without the fear of being attacked by a herd of sheep, all screaming the same thing while congratulating themselves for being a courageous defender of science

[swozzares]

Glad to see this channel realising its potential.

[spiralsun]

❤️👁️❤️ You had me at ballet shoes on the door… 😂 Awesome stuff, she is amazing 🤩 ❤

[macfrankist]

She is a beautiful person. I love her passion for physics.

[simonkaufmann]

Curt, thank you so much! Finally a place where people can really talk their mind out and develop their ideas fully in a public forum. Excellent and interesting people and ideas. Good questions asked! Nice. Thank you, Man!

[chrisgea]

I find Professor Ivette Fuentes amazing. She is a truly exemplary figure in the physical sciences, in my view.

I said that in longer form in a comment that the content scanners knocked on the head. It was a truly great comment but you're going to just have to trust me on that.

[aretwodeetoo]

Roger's arguments are not necessarily simple? No kidding. The man is stretching the limits of his informed intuition to leave us the final gifts of his genius, which will keep the rest of us busy understanding them for a century and win him 2 additional Nobel prizes (physics for OR and physiology for Orch-OR) if he lives long enough to see them experimentally validated. That would make him the undisputed GOAT... Too bad not enough experimentalists are moving fast enough to make that likely, but I salute Ivette for trying to design and push for these experiments to be done 🙏
