Punk is a term more often associated with fierce rock music and harsh lyrics than as a form of science. The legacy of punk rock is one of rebellion, attacking conventional society and mainstream culture. "Punk Science" is also the name of a book by this week's guest, Manjir Samanta-Laughton (http://www.paradigmrevolution.com/), of the UK, who has gained international fame for interpretting the findings of physics and cosmology in a new and creative way, and one that challenges mainstream science's fundamental paradigm. She joins host Philip Mereton in a conversation about what a new scientific paradigm might look like and her own Black Hole Principle.
