Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
When physicist Werner Heisenberg introduced his “Uncertainty Principle” in 1927, he found himself at odds with Albert Einstein and centuries of scientific understanding. Kojo explores his radical idea – that sometimes you can obtain one bit of information about the world only at the price of losing another – and its profound influence on physics, social science and the arts.
