It's very exciting.

Now Sam is absolutely determined to continue in quantum field theory.

It might be interesting for you to do a podcast with him or other students

See, what do they make of it?

What do they make of the current situation?

They're terribly confused.

I mean, imagine you go into theoretical physics today and there's string theory, which isn't really working.

There's Lenny Susskind telling you, I know the answer, it's holography, right?

But I don't know how to do it.

And, you know, I encourage a student to do it.

I mean, would you go and do it with him?

You know, it's track record is, I mean, it's a brilliant guy, but the track record isn't that great.

He's been advocating string theory for 50 years and hasn't panned out.

Um,

So yeah, it's a really confusing time.

Or you're just going to astrophysics and deal with data and observations and so on.

But the stuff you're interested in and I'm interested in is the deeper theoretical questions.

And there's some students who really want to do that.

But there's not really good environments for them.

Even perimeter.
