Is that all there is? CBC forum explores science and future
Science helps us understand ourselves and our own place in the cosmos.
But how far does the math take us? And what do science and the humanities tell us when we look at the same questions from different points of view?
At Canada's Stratford Festival, Perimeter Institute Director Neil Turok joined science writer Margaret Wertheim and philosopher Mark Kingwell for a discussion on life, the universe, and everything.
Hosted by Paul Kennedy, the show aired in November 2016 as part of CBC Ideas.
About PI
Perimeter Institute is the world’s largest research hub devoted to theoretical physics. The independent Institute was founded in 1999 to foster breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding of our universe, from the smallest particles to the entire cosmos. Research at Perimeter is motivated by the understanding that fundamental science advances human knowledge and catalyzes innovation, and that today’s theoretical physics is tomorrow’s technology. Located in the Region of Waterloo, the not-for-profit Institute is a unique public-private endeavour, including the Governments of Ontario and Canada, that enables cutting-edge research, trains the next generation of scientific pioneers, and shares the power of physics through award-winning educational outreach and public engagement.
