When we scientists begin to analyze the hydrogen and out of space, we begin to realize it's the same everywhere. No matter how far we probed the universe, it was the same hydrogen, the spectral lines of hydrogen, everywhere you look. And that's what i like about science. You can inspire an alien on the other side of the galax about your equations, because they are universal.
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.
