Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
At more than 80 years of age, he is a well respected physicist and cosmologist, whose controversial scientific theories often appear outlandish – that is, until they are proven correct. Meet Thomas Gold, and hear about his latest maybe-crazy maybe-true theory – that the earth has an endless supply of petroleum and will never run out of fossil fuel.
Guests
- Thomas Gold Professor Emeritus of Physics at Cornell University; founder and director for 20 years of the Cornell Center for Radiophysics and Space Research; author of "The Deep Hot Biosphere: The Myth of Fossil Fuels" (Pub: Copernicus Books)
- Charles Mankin Director of Sarkeys Energy Center at the University Of Oklahoma; Head Geologist for the State of Oklahoma
