Did Leonard Susskind, one of the fathers of string theory, ever feel like an impostor? And why did he fight with Stephen Hawking? Find out in this thrilling interview with none other than Susskind himself from 2020. Susskind is an American physicist and a professor of theoretical physics at Stanford University. He is also the founding director of the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics. In 1995, Susskind was the first to give a precise string-theoretic interpretation of the holographic principle and the first to introduce the idea of the string theory landscape in 2003. In this interview, we discuss Susskind’s popular science book, The Black Hole War, which covers the black hole information paradox and the related scientific dispute between Stephen Hawking and Susskind himself.
