Was great!
For some reason I can't find this episode on the rss feed that I use for the podcast
It’s gravity that gets your dough down 😞
Quantum Mechanics says that a wave equation only collapses into a solution when there is an observer. If we are the only intelligent species ovserving the universe, does this mean that universe we observe is only as old as the human race?
That was excellent. Can't wait for more.
Great conversation, thanks
Just stopping by to say thanks for all the absolute banger interviews recently, they just keep coming!
