Professor Brian Cox and Robin Ince host a witty, irreverent look at the world through scientists’ eyes. Joined by a panel of scientists, experts and celebrity science enthusiasts they investigate life, the universe and everything in between on The Infinite Monkey Cage from the BBC.
From the smallest building blocks of life to the furthest stars, the curious monkeys pull apart the latest science to reveal fascinating and often bizarre insights into the world around us and what lies beyond. Can trees talk to each other? Can science help you commit the perfect murder? What might aliens look like and the burning question of our time, are strawberries alive or dead? Join them as each episode they put a different scientific topic under the microscope, from aliens, black holes and hedgehogs, to bacteria, poison and the Big Bang. With past guests including actors Dame Judi Dench and Sir Patrick Stewart, comedians Steve Martin and Conan O’Brien, astronaut Tim Peake, primatologist Jane Goodall and mathematician Hannah Fry, The Infinite Monkey Cage promises to make you laugh, enrich your knowledge and leave you with a deeper appreciation for the universe that we call home. Whether you’re a seasoned scientist or someone who nodded off in physics class, listen in to learn all about funny, fascinating and sometimes ridiculous topics – with the occasional monkey business.
Tim Harford explains - and sometimes debunks - the numbers and statistics used in political debate, the news and everyday life
《科学在身边》是一个以粤语为主的科普频道，旨在提供易学易懂但又殊不简单的科普内容，专为工作忙碌却又对科学有浓厚兴趣的你而设。
宇宙专题（逢星期一播出）
上下四方谓之宇，古往今来谓之宙。宇宙不但包罗万有，更隐藏著物理学的终极秘密。在宇宙专题里，主持人张老师会带你从地球出发，冲出太阳系，穿过茫茫星海，一直到达宇宙尽头，为你诉说宇宙中各种兴衰起落的故事。之后我们又会回到地球，观看地球过去46亿年的演化历程。在专辑的尾声，我们会进入微观世界，探索量子力学的神奇国度。这将是一趟从小到大，从近到远，最后又回归到微观世界的神奇旅程。想知道宇宙有哪些新奇好玩的话题？那就要留意每周的宇宙专题啦！
《科学在身边．宇宙专题》已经完满结束，在此衷心感谢一直支持本专辑的朋友。接下来，我们将会推出一个全新的《科学在身边．未来科学家》专辑。在这个新专辑里面，张老师会换一个角度，跟你说说科学家是怎样炼成的，科学家究竟是怎样的一群人，与及他们又是怎样做研究的。透过这个全新的角度，希望可以为你带来另一种启发。这个专辑将会在下星期一同样时间，在《知道粤语频道》上线，有兴趣的朋友，欢迎免费订阅。
