I appreciate the fact that he's honest about String "Theory" being more like "String Hypothesis" which is an accurate description. When talking about the rise of consciousness, the disconnected nature of big bang cosmology with planets and life somehow disconnected from the electromagnetic fields all around us, I could tell that his thinking is constrained by this, the fundamental failure of cosmology. The most robust evidence in all scientific fields lies within the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetism is the fundamental universal force.
