    Introducing : Inner Cosmos with Host David Eagleman and Guest Daniel Whiteson

    Hello Daniel and Kelly's Extraordinary Universe listeners.

    We want to share a great show, Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman. ( Neuroscientist and Author)

     

    Join David and Daniel as they explore the Brain and the Universe.

    “Imagine we eventually meet some alien scientists. If they can see electrons or smell photons, would their science look like ours? Is physics a universal language, or just a local dialect of the human brain? Would aliens use math, or might their truths be organized unrecognizably? Are the “laws of nature” really laws, or simply our interpretations? “
