The Equation That Changed How Physicists Think About Reality | Juan Maldacena Timestamps: 00:00 The claim Einstein wrote in 1935 and missed 01:15 The most-cited physicist alive walks into UC San Diego 03:25 What would shock Einstein most about modern physics 07:45 The holographic principle — what it actually means 09:20 Throw a laptop into a black hole. Now what 11:00 General relativity says lost. Quantum mechanics says preserved. 12:25 The problem Juan wants to solve before he dies 13:50 Why real black holes don't emit measurable Hawking radiation 15:25 How black hole math accidentally explained why the universe has structure 17:00 Could primordial black holes be dark matter? Juan is skeptical. 18:30 Why a partition function went imaginary — and what it cost to fix 21:15 Why imaginary numbers keep being right about reality 25:00 How AdS/CFT got its name — and why physicists did the Macarena 27:05 We don't live in AdS space. Why does it matter 29:00 Earth-sized wormholes are allowed. Faster-than-light ones aren't. 32:10 Could AI have helped Einstein in 1913? 33:00 Can a working physicist also believe in God? Juan answers.













Big Tech companies are sprinting forward, building data centers as fast as they can, sometimes using eminent domain to seize the land by force, making their AI more and more powerful, expanding the technology at lightening speed with no guardrails of any kind at all. Yet none of these tech gurus or any of their apologists have even attempted to explain what exactly all of the millions of people who lose their jobs, and the increasing numbers who lose their homes, all sacrificed on the AI altar, are supposed to do. How does society support millions of unemployed and displaced people? What becomes of a society where algorithms and machines do everything, and a few people become trillionaires while millions more lose everything? There is no answer to any of this. They aren’t even attempting to answer it. Instead we’re simply told that China exists and we have to “beat them” in some unspecified way, in order to achieve some unspecified goal. We’re going to obliterate entire industries, entire categories of jobs all at once, and the only justification anyone can give is “China.” It’s madness.
