Visit https://www.economist.com/toeIn this episode, I speak with Frederic Schuller, an award-winning theoretical physicist and professor, who insists the undergrad tale of energy sloshing between kinetic and potential is just talk unless the math says so. Borrowing Port-Hamiltonian thinking, he’s building probability ports to pull measurement talk into actual quantum formalism—no change to QM, just sharper math. He also flips gravity: start from the matter action and construct the compatible gravitational dynamics—Maxwell in, Einstein–Hilbert out. And if nature ever breaks our current causal picture, the scheme points to richer structures (and the gravity to match)—a modest idea, pushed hard.Join My New Substack (Personal Writings): https://curtjaimungal.substack.comListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gL14b92xAErofYQA7bU4eTimestamps:- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Links Mentioned:- Frederic’s Papers: https://scholar.google.com/citations- Frederic’s Lectures: https://www.youtube.com/@FredericSchuller- Frederic’s Bio: https://people.utwente.nl/f.p.schuller- General Relativity Lecture Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist- Quantum Harmonic Oscillator [Lecture]: https://youtu.be/s3I_MGfGm-w- Constructive Gravity [Paper]: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.09726- Geometry Of Manifolds [Paper]: https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/0508170- Jacob Barandes [TOE]: https://youtu.be/7oWip00iXbo- Roger Penrose [TOE]: https://youtu.be/sGm505TFMbU- All Possible Paths [TOE]: https://youtu.be/XcY3ZtgYis0- Neil Turok [TOE]: https://youtu.be/ZUp9x44N3uE- Space-Time Structure [Book]: https://www.amazon.com/Space-Time-Structure-Cambridge-Science-Classics/dp/0521315204- Greg Chaitin [TOE]: https://youtu.be/PoEuav8G6sY- Ivette Fuentes [TOE]: https://youtu.be/cUj2TcZSlZc- Ted Jacobson [TOE]: https://youtu.be/3mhctWlXyV8- Eva Miranda [TOE]: https://youtu.be/6XyMepn-AZo- Jonathan Oppenheim [TOE]: https://youtu.be/6Z_p3viqW1g- String Theory Iceberg [TOE]: https://youtu.be/X4PdPnQuwjY- Sabine Hossenfelder [TOE]: https://youtu.be/E3y-Z0pgupg- Leonard Susskind [TOE]: https://youtu.be/2p_Hlm6aCok- What Is Energy?
