A fascinating debate on truth and beauty by Markus Gabriel, Sabine Hossenfelder, Roger Penrose
From the website:
Dirac wrote "It's more important to have beauty in one's equations than to have them fit experiment". However, many argue that simple laws can never encapsulate reality. Do elegance and beauty reflect our human way of understanding the world, meaning simple theories are always prized? Can the complexity of existence ever be fully understood? Or is simplicity the key to being able to explain life and the universe?
Eminent mathematician Roger Penrose, author of How Beauty Led Physics Astray Sabine Hossenfelder and philosopher and author Markus Gabriel separate truth from beauty.
