Einstein in Oxford, sustainable labs and another 5G controversy
In the latest Physics World Weekly podcast, Matin Durrani speaks about a feature about Albert Einstein’s time in Oxford in the 1930s. The celebrated physicist seduced – and then shocked – his audiences with his new thinking about how science works. Einstein in Oxford is the subject of a feature article by Andrew Robinson in the June issue of Physics World.
Elsewhere in the podcast we’re speaking about how labs can improve their eco credentials, the fears that the 5G network might hinder weather forecasting, and the curious case of the rising waters of Lake Ontario.
