From his radical youth in 1970s Italy to his research as one of the world's leading theoretical physicists, Carlo Rovelli is as comfortable talking politics as he is explaining quantum theory.

He sat down with Aaron to talk about the future of Europe, his theory of white holes, and why we're not actually living in a simulation. His book White Holes: Inside The Horizon is available from Penguin.

What if we’ve been looking at the laws of physics all wrong? Join Jeroen Schreel and Chiara Marletto, a postdoctoral researcher in theoretical physics at Oxford University, as they delve into the world of constructor theory. Discover why quantum physics and general relativity clash, what the many-worlds theory really means, and whether we’re on the brink of a new era in physics.
