Audio: John Wheeler on Einstein's theory of gravity

Speakers: John Wheeler

John Wheeler discusses the preposterous influence of Einstein’s theory of gravity as 'a curved space' and explores the complexity of particles in space. He puts forward the analogy of foam on the surface of the ocean to convey the amount of particular disturbance throughout space.

This interview was conducted by David Peat and Paul Buckley, and kindly provided by David Peat.
