Today we dive into the world's shiny new space telescope - JWST. Learn why are physicists and astronomers are so excited about it, and what new secrets of the universe it might reveal. Keep your eye out for its launch later this week!

Can free will exist in a universe described by the laws of physics? Listen to this re-broadcast of one of our favorite episodes.
