Towards the Final Laws of Physics

Synopsis: This is the video of the lecture "Towards the Final Laws of Physics" given by Steven Weinberg in 1986 as part of the first Dirac Memorial Lecture, jointly with Richard Feynman. In his lecture, Weinberg shows how tightly quantum theory and relativity together constrain the laws of Nature, and he speculates now Einstein’s theory of gravitation (1915) will be reconciled with quantum theory. A book accompanies this tape which contains the transparencies used in the lecture (in Weinberg’s own handwriting).
