Leonard Susskind - The Black Hole War (1 of 3)
- 14 years ago
Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of theoretical physics at Stanford University in the field of string theory and quantum field theory. Susskind is widely regarded as one of the fathers of string theory for his early contributions to the String Theory model of particle physics.
His book, "The Black Hole Wars," details his battles with Stephen Hawking over the true nature of black holes. The resulting theory postulates that every object in our world is actually a hologram being projected from the farthest edges of space. In this video, Susskind discusses the story behind the black hole conflict and how it has led to a better idea of how our universe works.
