The Science Show presents the first of a three-part series on how physics and music were closely linked in their early development. The series was first heard in 1994 and is presented by physicist from Sydney University the late Ian Johnston.

In a surprising, enthralling and personal way, Ian tells the story of the development of culture and our changing idea of our place in the universe.
