In Conversation With ...

Part of a series of intimate conversations between leading thinkers around the theme of “Chronodiversity, other minds, and the temporal dimensions of consciousness” and co-hosted with the ASU’s Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science).

This conversation was an absolute treat to listen to as we recorded. Paul is a giant of a thinker and physicist, and internationally known for his scholarship and science communication. Sara is equally impressive as a physicist and creative thinker who is pushing the bounds of how we think about life beyond Earth.

Despite their hat comes across loud and clear in the conversation though is that these are two quite wonderful, generous and humble individuals. Plus, what you get to hear is two of the foremost theoretical physicists around talking about things that are on their mind.

As I said, it was an absolute treat for me, and I hope it will be for you.
