Physics asks the biggest questions there are: how the universe began, what it is made of and how it will end. London Real has sat down with leading theoretical physicists, astrophysicists and astronauts to explain them in plain English. These conversations cover quantum mechanics, string theory, cosmology, the relationship between science and religion, and what it is like to look back at Earth from orbit. Every full interview is free to watch.
From astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and string theorist Brian Greene to theoretical physicist Sean Carroll, cosmologist Lawrence Krauss and astronauts Chris Hadfield and Terry Virts: what physics tells us about the universe and our place in it.
Brian Greene, a theoretical physicist known for his work on string theory, explains how to see the beauty of science in everything and talks about dark matter and the fabric of the universe. Sean Carroll, a theoretical physicist who specialises in quantum mechanics, discusses his book Something Deeply Hidden and the emergence of spacetime from the quantum world. Lawrence Krauss, a cosmologist and author of A Universe from Nothing and The Physics of Star Trek, explores the mysteries of the universe and what science still cannot explain.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist and science communicator, makes the case for science education and scientific literacy in his first London Real interview. In Starry Messenger he returns with cosmic perspectives on civilisation. Lawrence Krauss, who has written over 300 scientific publications and ran the Origins Project, sets out his view of religion in Why Religion Is The Death Of Intelligence and in A Godless Universe. He argues that science should lead the conversation about where we come from.
Canadian astronaut, pilot and musician Chris Hadfield shares the lessons he learned in space and the perspective it gave him on science and creativity. Former NASA astronaut Terry Virts explains why astronauts keep busy for psychological reasons, how he became an astronaut and how space reignited his love of photography. Swiss pilot Yves Rossy describes building experimental jet packs with carbon-fibre wings and flying them himself, including his delayed flight across the English Channel.
