Summary:
I recently had an opportunity to interview one of my favorite science educators, Iraqi-British theoretical physicist Jim Al-Khalili. You might be familiar with his work because he has hosted many documentaries for the BBC in the U.K., which have also been broadcast in the U.S. I’ve watched his documentaries for at least a decade.
He recently made a great 2 part series exclusively for Magellan TV, called, “Jim Al-Khalili’s guide the life, the universe, and everything.” These are, imho, some of the best science documentaries I’ve ever seen. He answers the kinds of big question I like to ask such as, How did the universe come to be? How did life start on Earth? What is the nature of space and time? And how will all this end?
Because Magellan has been a long-time sponsor of my channel, they put me in touch with Jim for this interview. I really encourage you to click the link above, through which you can get a free one month trial subscription. I really think, if for nothing else,to check out Jim’s superb new shows.

Jim did not disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised to hear his straight forward and sometimes strong opinions on some very touch and controversial questions. Enjoy!
