Eric Weinstein vs Sean Carroll: Pomp & Fury

Eric Weinstein enters the Piers Morgan arena to spar with actual physicist Sean Carroll, and it goes about as well as you'd expect. Matt and Chris decode the clash between Eric’s grandiose conspiracy-laced revisionism and Sean’s patient attempts at scientific clarity. From hijacked physics lectures to uncredited genius claims, this one has it all... plus Piers Morgan’s surprise argument for God. Welcome to the guru multiverse.
