Are There Limits To What Physics Can Explain? | World Science Festival

Do we invent the laws of physics? Why are we driven to find explanations? Brian Greene sits down with Marcelo Gleiser, theoretical physicist at Dartmouth College and Templeton Prize winner, for a conversation that moves between physics, philosophy, and the psychology of mortality. Gleiser and Greene discuss whether life required more than ordinary chemistry to emerge, and what it would actually mean if scientists created life from scratch in a laboratory.
