Two great science communicators….:

This is more physics and philosophy than mathematics, but still of potential interest to many math buffs. The conversation is close to an hour long, followed by audience questions, so you'll need to make some time for it, or play it in the background as you do other Webby things.

Unfortunately, they weren't able to settle the question once-and-for-all in the allotted time... ;-)
