David Gross is a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and director of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UCSB. He explains why string theory is the best hope for answering the "why" questions of the universe, such as its beginnings, structure, and history. He also discusses the challenges and opportunities of breaking with conventional physics and discovering new ideas.
