Juan Maldacena says gravity isn't a fundamental force — it emerges from quantum entanglement. If he's right, spacetime itself is built out of quantum information, and Einstein missed it in 1935. He's the most-cited theoretical physicist alive. We cover: — why wormholes and quantum entanglement may be literally the same phenomenon — what actually happens to information when you throw a laptop into a black hole — how Hawking radiation accidentally gave cosmologists the equation behind the structure of the universe — whether sci-fi wormholes are ruled out by quantum mechanics itself — the one unsolved problem Juan says matters more than black holes (and it's not what you'd guess) ——— 📬 Get the transcript and link to Juan's technical lecture on Black Hole Thermodynamics when you subscribe to my Monday M.A.G.I.C.
