Science shapes what we believe about the universe, our bodies and our own minds. This is London Real’s hub for those conversations. Brian Rose has sat down with astrophysicists, evolutionary biologists, psychologists, astronauts and drug researchers to ask what we know, what we still don’t, and what it means for everyday life. It covers space and physics, evolution, the brain, sleep, psychedelic medicine and UFOs. Every full interview is free to watch.
From primatologist Dr Jane Goodall and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson to evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker, physicist Brian Greene, Berkeley sleep scientist Matthew Walker and astronaut Chris Hadfield: the big questions, from the cosmos to the brain.
Neil deGrasse Tyson makes the case for science education and scientific literacy, and returns in 2023 with cosmic perspectives on civilisation. Brian Greene explains how to see the beauty of science in everything, from string theory to the end of time. Sean Carroll looks at quantum worlds and how spacetime emerges, and Lawrence Krauss argues for a godless universe. Astronauts Terry Virts and Chris Hadfield describe life in orbit, and Hadfield gives his view on UFOs. For the debate on unexplained craft, see UFOs & Disclosure.
Dr Jane Goodall talked about Louis Leakey, the chimpanzees of Gombe, empathy in science and her cautious hope for the planet. Richard Dawkins discusses The Selfish Gene, The God Delusion and consciousness. Steven Pinker makes the case for reason, science and humanism. Dr Philip Zimbardo, interviewed on his 85th birthday, revisited the Stanford Prison Experiment and everyday heroism. Matthew Walker warns that the shorter your sleep, the shorter your life, and Jonathan Haidt explains the coddling of the American mind. More in Human Body.
London Real was early to the new research on psychedelics. Professor David Nutt, former chair of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, argues that alcohol is the most damaging drug in the world. Dr Robin Carhart-Harris explains the brain science behind psilocybin research at Imperial College London, and MAPS founder Rick Doblin makes the case for MDMA therapy. Neuroscientist Dr Carl Hart sets out to debunk drug myths, and Dr Gabor Maté argues that childhood trauma lies at the root of addiction.
