Asking Ultimate Questions

About this episode

The episode explores ultimate questions about existence and reality through interviews with prominent thinkers.

We like pushing boundaries, trying to discern existence, searching the foundations of reality, knowing all that can be known. Overly ambitious? Sophomoric? We don't care. We do it anyway. Here are ultimate questions. Featuring interviews with Lawrence Krauss, John Leslie, Max Tegmark and Paul Davies
