High Science

"We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special." Stephen Hawking made amazing contributions to physics through his research on cosmology and black holes. However, what launched him into international fame was his ability to explain complex ideas in simple terms. He gave us all a foothold into a better understanding of our universe and through this, he inspired wonder and curiosity in the face of our mind-bending universe. High Science dives into Hawking's life, legacy, research, and ideas as a tribute to one of the greatest minds of our generation. Exploring his ideas took us from black holes and quantum physics, to philosophy and atheism. “Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet... Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.” Send us episode requests, feedback, questions, and comm
