The Physics of Everything: A 50-Module Journey for the Humanist
This is a 50-episode podcast in physics as a body of ideas, built for one listener: Ashlee, the most wonderful person in the world. It runs from Thales to the latest dark-energy measurements in nine parts, and it treat physics the way a good seminar treats a canon: as arguments, characters, evidence and unresolved fights
