General relativity and quantum mechanics, our two leading theories in physics, we are told, are worlds apart and fundamentally incompatible. But is it possible that they are not so irreconcilable after all? Join theoretical physicist Raphael Bousso, a former student of Stephen Hawking, as he argues that general relativity has more of a hold on quantum mechanics than we first thought and that, somewhat like an oracle, gravity can reveal to us the properties of the quantum world.
