R.I.P. Mr. Weinberg. You were always a pleasure to listen to and a decent human being.

Another excellent video from an excellent channel on yt. Just a small thing: please make it clear what is new material and old published long ago (obviously this one). Seems like old videos now being mixed with newer ones. A bit confusing, but should be easy to fix. But again: a lot to discover here!

I wish we knew the date of the videos. You see Robert with dark hair and I know Steven Weinberg passed away in 2021.
