  • Episode 3: J. Craig Wheeler, Ph.D
    In episode 3, we present you our conversation with J. Craig Wheeler.  He has a Ph.D in Physics and is a Samuel T. and Fern Yanagisawa Regents Professor of Astronomy, Emeritus.  Professor Wheeler was my former astronomy professor and he taught the best class I ever took as a student at UT Austin.  It was an absolute pleasure to discuss the fate of our democracy, and the universe, with this brilliant gentleman.  Are we actually living in a 2D model projecting into 3D (like a hologram??)?  Maybe, and who knows.  Is it important you know who your representatives are?  Absolutely.   We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.  Check out the links to some of his work below:
