Abstract

An interview with theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli is presented. When asked what the largest open question is in the field of theoretical physics, he commented on quantum gravity and unifying relativity and quantum mechanics. He mentioned how to make science and physics interesting to people as the results of physics can be appreciated by anyone even if they don't understand the process. He talked about misunderstanding concerning the nature of time and suggests time is human ignorance.
