The beauty of being wrong: A ‘Good in Theory’ takeover
What happens when science gets it wrong? In this crossover with the Good in Theory podcast, explore failed ideas from planet Vulcan to light itself.
Ever wonder why some scientific ideas change the world while others end up in the history books' reject pile?
In this special crossover event, we’re handing the mic to Rita (Cosmology Researcher) and Sofie (PhD Student) from the University of Sheffield, the brilliant minds behind the Good in Theory podcast. Rita and Sofie bring us some of their favourite theories that just didn’t turn out to be right.
From the mysterious planet Vulcan to what light needs to travel - Science isn't always a straight line to the truth, it's a messy journey filled with dead ends, wrong turns, and spectacular failures.
Join us for part one and let's rethink how scientific progress actually works.
