Curt Jaimungal with Eric Weinstein | Geometric Unity: 40 Years in the Making was a discussion with Eric Weinstein hosted by Curt Jaimungal.
Description[edit]
This is the first conversation (with Eric Weinstein) in 40 years on Geometric Unity.
In this rare, unscripted conversation, Eric Weinstein reveals the core of Geometric Unity, his decades-in-the-making theory. For the first time, Weinstein opens up fully about dark matter, the missing generations, peer review, and the potential flake of GU that quietly changed the world. This is the theory he believes is the answer.
