In the framework of the largest string theory conference in the world, Strings 2019, Science and Cocktails organized a special event at Flagey in Brussels. We were sipping cocktails in the art-deco building with string theorist and science superstar Robbert Dijkgraaf as he told us all about the fundamental laws of Nature. Afterwards, cellist and composer Benjamin Glorieux performed a musical piece together with invited guests especially commissioned for the occasion, while live-video artist Klaas Verpoest accompanied them with his visual magic.
What is string theory? What happens to stuff that falls inside a black hole? What are the fundamental building blocks of space and time? Did Nature have any choice in picking the fundamental laws of physics? What is the role of mathematics in physics?
This talk by professor Robbert Dijkgraaf was recorded on 13 July 2019 at Flagey in Brussels. For more science lectures with dry ice cocktails and live music, visit:

I’m a registered nurse. If I could go back I would consider physics. What nurse binges these videos lol. It’s fascinating… thank you for this.

A wonderful presentation. I wish my dad had lived to see the internet and the wealth of knowledge that it can disseminate. He was an early nuclear physicist who revered Einstein, Feynman and Hawking (and I am sure many others in the field). He would have loved this. Thank you.

Just when I was thinking I have seen too many of these videos that explain the history of cosmology, this one puts its all together in an absolutely ingenious and comprehensible way. I found myself screenshotting his gorgeous graphics that put so many of the concepts into immediately graspable form.

this has blown my mind literally it broke my brain but fascinated me at the same time. my knowledge about physics isnt that advance and had to hit pause a few times to try to understand but this is one of the best presentations ive seen about physics.

That is a most brilliant and illuminating video. The graphics, words and humour lift the spirit in these dark times. Physics rocks!

I have never taken a physics class nor any higher math. However, I found this talk fascinating and it gave me an understanding of many terms I’ve heard but had no clue as to what they meant.

Every time I watched things like this related to the universe I felt passionate to live my life passionately. That’s why I became a freshman of physics, though I had no STEM background. I learned a lot by hard working and now I’m tutoring my peers math and chemistry, about which I had no clue before. I see many students are afraid of math and physics, but actually they’re very fun!

"Space is just out there. It is flat . It is rigid. It is forever as it is. It is just a background, a decor for natural phenomena to happen." This is EXACTLY how my cat treats me!

Don't you just love physics and physicists? Professor Dijkgraaf masterfully explains string theory, and yet he struggles with Powerpoint.

As someone who didn't graduate high school the presenter did an award winning job explaining such complex things in an understandable way while also being entertaining. This is as special as the theories he talked about. 10/10 would watch again.
