Episode 132: Physics

Michial Farmer hosts a conversation with David Grubbs, Nathan Gilmour, and Book of Nature host Todd Pedlar about physics. From Aristotle to Einstein and beyond, human beings have proposed mathematical and metaphorical models for how the universe works, and physicists take as their work to refine and to teach those models. Among the theories, theorists, and other realities engaged are Aristotle's Physics, Edgar Allen Poe, relativity, radioactivity, quantum mechanics, and bad reasons to be a relativist.
