Is hype culture killing science? 

In this episode of Into the Impossible, I welcome back physicist Lawrence Krauss for a candid conversation on hype, being wrong, and the impact of AI on the field of physics. Krauss is a theoretical physicist, award-winning NYT bestselling author, and host of The Origins Podcast. He shares how data forced him to change his mind on dark energy and the Higgs boson, and why science’s strength lies in its willingness to adapt.

We explore the hype around quantum gravity, the limits of knowledge revealed by Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, and whether AI can ever truly discover new laws of physics. From black holes to the fate of cosmic intelligence, Krauss takes us to the edge of what we know, and beyond.
