Show for Apr 18, 2010. Leonard Susskind: The Black
Hole War

This is a rebroadcast (with a new postscript) of an interview originally aired in 2009. Leonard Susskind—theoretical physicist, one of the fathers of string theory—describes some of the extraordinary, mind-blowing implications of black holes. E.g., the holographic theory of the universe. Some of these implications touched off a long-running debate between Susskind and Stephen Hawking. Susskind gives us blow-by-blow account.
