Professor Lee Smolin, researcher, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and adjunct professor of Physics, University of Waterloo
Is it possible that time is real, and that the laws of physics are not fixed? Lee Smolin, A C Grayling, Gillian Tett, and Bronwen Maddox explore the implications of such a profound re-think of the natural and social sciences, and consider how it might impact the way we think about surviving the future.
