When is a theory good enough?

Update: 2017-04-04

Description

In the third part of their discussion, Pedro Ferreira and Jerome Martin talk about whether one should look for a deeper physical theory when one’s current theory is well-supported by observation. They discuss the rise of inflationary theory, its alternatives, and our expectations for future physics. This discussion was conducted at the University of Oxford on March 15, 2017.
