Helen in conversation with Jim Al-Khalili, on his new book “The World According To Physics”.

Why does physics matter? What can the study of energy and force, of matter and its motion and behaviour through space and time teach us about the universe and the nature of reality itself? According to Jim Al-Khalili, the renowned physics professor and host of BBC Radio 4’s The Life Scientific, we all need to understand the three pillars of modern physics — quantum theory, relativity and thermodynamics — if we are ever to have a full grasp of reality and our place in this universe.

Join Jim Al-Khalili and hear him, in conversation with Helen, discuss how physics both humbles and empowers us.
