MARCUS CHOWN, cosmologist, astronomer and writer returns to Inquiry to talk about his latest book THE MATCHBOX THAT ATE A FORTY-TON TRUCK: WHAT EVERYDAY THINGS TELL US ABOUT THE UNIVERSE. In every chapter, Chown takes a common experience and reveals how this small event actually reveals basics about cosmology, particle physics and quantum dynamics. Tonight we talk about how breaking a tea cup can subtly tell us how the universe expanded after the Big Bang! This is science at its most entertaining and informative. Be sure to tune in!
