In this mind-expanding episode, legendary physicist Edward Witten takes us on a breathtaking tour through the history of physics—from the foundations laid by Isaac Newton to the revolutionary ideas of Einstein, Maxwell, and Dirac.

Witten connects the dots between electricity and magnetism, the constant speed of light, and the emergence of special relativity. He explores the birth of quantum mechanics, the stunning prediction of antiparticles like the positron, and how it all leads to the profound idea of general relativity and the curvature of spacetime.

Whether you're a physics student or just love great science storytelling, this one's for you.
