The Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas: Good Old Days and Daft Scientists

The good old days or the times we’d perhaps rather forget?

Discover why stories of the past are so important to understand the present with Dr Sophie Atherton at the the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

This double bill is hosted by comedian Susan Morrison and also features quantum physicist Dr Nick Werren (Heriot-Watt University), who journeys to the 17th century to investigate how the early physics of light was shaped by brilliant minds doing terribly stupid things.
