A fun-filled discussion of the big, mind-blowing, unanswered questions about the Universe. In each episode, Daniel Whiteson (a Physicist who works at CERN) and Jorge Cham (a popular online cartoonist) discuss some of the simple but profound questions that people have been wondering about for thousands of years, explaining the science in a fun, shorts-wearing and jargon-free way.
Daniel and Jorge talk about the lengths people will go to avoid accepting the randomness of quantum mechanics. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Por iHeartPodcasts
