"We Have Physics Completely Backwards!" | Gabriele Carcassi

Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

Gabriele Carcassi is a dedicated physicist and software engineer based in Michigan, leading the innovative "Assumptions of Physics" project to redefine the foundational principles of physics. By bridging mathematics, physics, and philosophy, Gabriele advocates for an open-source, interdisciplinary approach to advance our understanding of the universe.
