What It Takes to Achieve Great Scientific Breakthroughs w/ Rick Walker [Ep. 453]

What does it take to achieve great breakthroughs in science? What
makes Galileo’s approach to science still relevant today? And why
is it essential for scientists to communicate their work to the
general public? Last month, I was invited to Rick Walker's podcast

discussed the cosmic microwave background, unifying the laws of
gravity and quantum mechanics, and more.  Tune in! — Key
