For centuries, scientists have grappled with the most fundamental question of them all – what is reality?
Is it a matter of common sense? Or can God or some higher being only know? And what was there before the Big Bang created the world we live in?
Einstein revolutionised our way of thinking – and then came along the wild world of quantum physics, where nothing plays by the rules – even Einstein’s – and things seemed to exist in two places at once.
Today, the biggest brains on the planet are at loggerheads over what all this means – and for this special Uncensored debate, Piers Morgan is joined by two scientists with very different answers to the big questions – Dr. Eric Weinstein and Professor Sean Carroll.
