Renowned physicist Neil Turok, Holder of the Higgs Chair of Theoretical Physics at the University of Edinburgh, joins me to discuss the state of science and the universe. Neil Turok has been director emeritus of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics since 2019. He specializes in mathematical physics and early-universe physics, including the cosmological constant and a cyclic model for the universe.

He has written several books including Endless Universe: Beyond the Big Bang and The Universe Within: From Quantum to Cosmos.

Topics Include:

  1. Discussion of Niels Books
  2. The life and discoveries of James Clerk Maxwell and Michael Faraday
  3. What's wrong with physics today?
  4. Fundamental laws of the Universe in equations.
  5. Existential Questions on the meaning of life, advice to his former self, and things he's changed his mind on.
