The 2010 CBC Massey Lectures by Douglas Coupland2012 CBC Massey Lectures
All the technologies we use and depend on are the products of the amazing human mind. Our curiosity drives us to seek out the underlying laws of the universe, and the more we learn the better our lives become. But we're arriving at an impasse, says physicist Neil Turok: the more we learn, the more contradictory the laws seem to be. We need new ideas and new ways of thinking to go beyond the horizon. iTunes Now available for purchase on iTunes
