I interviewed Nobel laureate and theoretical physicist Steven Weinberg to understand physics as the bedrock of science, its efforts to explain the world and answer questions about the universe.
What came before the Big Bang and before the period of Inflation? How real are string theory and the multiverse? If there is a god, what explains why he is the way he is?

Dawkins has long been known for his uncompromising passion for science, calling out for the pressing need in modern societies for scientific literacy and rational thinking, especially in the education of young minds. His relentless pursuit of truth, and his recognition of the beauty of life on earth, will feature in this podcast, as he charts his way through scientific and existential inquiries like ‘What are we doing here?’ and ‘When did life begin?’
