The Fundamentals of Reality
This is an edited version of an episode of the Infinite Monkey Cage.
Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek, cosmologist Janna Levin, and comedians Eric Idle and Sara Pascoe to look at what physics has revealed about the reality of our universe. From Einstein's equations more than 100 years ago through to the amazing discoveries we've made in the last few years about black holes and gravitational waves, the Universe we think we see is not necessarily the true fundamental reality that physics has uncovered. What is real and what is not? All will be revealed.
