In the 20th Century, quantum theory revolutionised how we think of small physics and general relativity revolutionised how we think of the big physics. But 100 years on, we still don't know how they fit together. Theoretical physicist and co-founder of Loop Quantum Gravity Lee Smolin leads us towards a unified physics.
