When we talk about the universe and why everything we see around us can be explained via a paradise or through the lens of something, then we're dealing with cosmic themes that have no bound ries between people. The boundaries between people melt away because we've all had to grapple with the same sensation of wonderment when we look at the universe as a whole. And so i think that the ancients, when they looked up and saw the night sky, they began to feel a bond, a bond with all the humans who have shaken their heads wondering, what is it all about?
This week on the penguin podcast, Nihal Arthanayake is joined by theoretical physicist, futurist, and popularizer of science, Michio Kaku. Together they discuss string theory, the unifying threads of different religious beliefs, human curiosity and the barriers to scientific thinking.
