46:36 What's the craziest historical debate between physicists about quantum theory?
47:20 Thoughts on extending Kirchhoff's blackbody experiments to astronomical bodies?
48:22 Was the Copenhagen interpretation a mistake, in regard to how paradoxical results were "glossed over"?

57:13 Aren't zero-point fluctuations an absolute reference frame and therefore a fatal blow to relativity?
