Three cutting edge fundamental theoretical physics talks - presentations too short unfortunately! But still great to watch!
Juan Maldacena, Talking about Quantum Aspects of Black Holes @7:30
Cumrun Vafa, Hollis, Tower of Light Particles - String Theory @35:00
Nima Arkani-Hamed, Why is the Universe BIG, with BIG things in it! (Scales) @50:00
With a very frank question and answer session afterwards...

Juan Maldacena:
Quote:"I think my difference between Black Holes and the Universe, is that Black Holes you might assemble them from the outside. You have the choice about how much matter you send in, and so on. On the other hand the Universe is something that self-assembles, so I think it has one more degree of complication that we haven't understood."
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
