Title: What Is Reality? A Survey of Theories (and Why They’re All Wrong)
Curt Jaimungal—Toronto-born mathematical-physics graduate of the University of Toronto—interrogates competing unification frameworks through his long-form interview series Theories of Everything, which now spans over 300 episodes with guests such as Roger Penrose, Donald Hoffman, Leonard Susskind, and Geoffrey Hinton; his analytic lens shaped the feature comedy I’m Okay (2016) and documentary Better Left Unsaid (2021), distributed internationally; beyond broadcasting he contributes essays and moderates philosophy-of-science events for places like the Institute of Art and Ideas and distills ongoing debates in physics, consciousness, and AI for a 8,000-subscriber Substack readership; his current research applies category-theoretic mapping to chart the epistemic limits that Gödel incompleteness, quantum indeterminacy, and simulation-level ambiguity impose on every putative “Theory of Everything.”
