Episode notes

By the end of the nineteenth century, we thought physics was done and dusted. We have mysteries like dark matter and dark energy that need to be solved. But i think it's more of a stretch to say therefore, we should not discount some pseudo scientific ideas such as telepathy or homeopathy. I'm never going to come up with a theory that tells me how long is too long - Galileo told us what would happen after one second. And if you drop a ball from five meters above the ground, then i'll know it will hit the ground again in two seconds. Becausethey're a simple formula for explaining our world right now... but at the same time

In this conversation with quantum physicist, New York Times bestselling author, and BBC host Jim Al-Khalili reveals how 8 lessons from the heart of science can help us all get the most out of our lives.

Today’s world is unpredictable and full of contradictions, and navigating its complexities while trying to make the best decisions is far from easy. In this brief guide to leading a more rational life, acclaimed physicist Jim Al-Khalili invites readers to engage with the world as scientists have been trained to do. The scientific method has served humankind well in its quest to see things as they really are, and underpinning the scientific method are core principles that can help us all navigate modern life more confidently. Discussing the nature of truth and uncertainty, the role of doubt, the pros and cons of simplification, the value of guarding against bias, the importance of evidence-based thinking, and more, Al-Khalili shows how the powerful ideas at the heart of the scientific method are deeply relevant to the complicated times we live in and the difficult choices we make.
