| In this segment, Ira talks with author and cosmologist Paul Davies about his book "Cosmic Jackpot: Why Our Universe is Just Right for Life". It's a brain-twisting look at cosmology, quantum physics, and the role of life in the cosmos. This is a holiday rebroadcast of a previously recorded Science Friday, so please don't try to call in. |
