I thought the conversation between these two physicists was very engaging. One needn't know physics to enjoy it.
"STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS:
A CONVERSATION WITH NOBEL LAUREATE JOHN MATHER
Every generation benefits from the insights and discoveries of the generations who came before. “If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants,” wrote Isaac Newton. In a special series, WSF invites audiences to stand on the shoulders of modern-day giants.
Brian Greene interviews this year’s “giant,” Nobel Laureate John Mather, who has played a pivotal role in two of the greatest achievements in astronomy in the last half-century: NASA’s COBE mission and the James Webb Space Telescope."

SGT Mary G. thanks for the share.
"Nobel Laureate John Mather joins Brian Greene for an in-depth discussion of evidence establishing the big bang as well as recent observations of the James Webb Space Telescope raising questions for this very theory of cosmic creation.
Mather delivered this year’s “On the Shoulders of Giants” address, honoring the generations of groundbreaking scientists furthering Newton’s observation that “If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” With this discussion, the World Science Festival invites audiences to stand on the shoulders of a modern-day giant, John Mather.
