Why the Universe Keeps Getting More Interesting

About this episode

First, Michael Wong and Robert Hazen propose a new scientific theory that suggests complexity — from life to technology — emerges through a universal evolutionary process. Their new book is Time’s Second Arrow: Evolution, Order, and a New Law of Nature. In the second half of the show, physicist Suzie Sheehy will share ideas from her 2023 book The Matter of Everything, which pulls back the curtain on the wild, improbable experiments that actually built our understanding of the physical world — and changed everyday life in the process.
