13:06Now PlayingIn this conversation, Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-host Chuck Nice are joined by physicist Brian Cox to explore one of the deepest open questions in modern physics: whether space and time are fundamental—or emergent.
The discussion spans emergent spacetime, quantum entanglement, black holes, wormholes, and the black hole information paradox, including ideas like ER = EPR, causality protection, and whether information is ever truly destroyed. The core idea centers on the possibility that spacetime itself emerges from deeper quantum information structures, challenging our intuitive understanding of reality.
