Ever wonder why some scientific ideas change the world while others end up in the history books' reject pile?
In part 2 of this special crossover event, we’re handing the mic back to Rita Neves (Cosmology Researcher) and Sofie Ried (PhD Student) from the The University of Sheffield, the brilliant minds behind the Good in Theory podcast.
Last time, they discussed how science is the process of being less wrong over time. In this part, Rita and Sofie are looking at the social impacts of mistakes in science theory.
So listen now to find out how a wrong theory helped clean up our cities, and at what happens when ideology keeps a dead theory on life support.
