We speak to Prof. Jim Al-Khalili, the University of Surrey’s Distinguished Chair in Theoretical Physics for World Space Week. He discusses the importance of including science in popular culture and broadening the understanding of ordinary citizens on the way science works, social media’s amplification of anti-scientific conspiracy theories, the overwhelming benefit science has brought to the world despite nefarious uses such as in war, the Islamic world’s pioneering of modern science in contrast to Boris Johnson’s remarks that Islam put the Muslim world ‘century’s behind’, the study of quantum biology and much more!
