Imagine
two curious minds collide
and a new idea is born. That flash of
insight changes everything.

producers of NOVA.
I'm Hakeim Oluc, a scientist who's

>> From Earth's deep past, the fossils are
the memories of our planet. And the

Science really is about putting forth
bold ideas and then going about the hard
work of trying to verify that this thing
could actually be true about the
universe.
>> Now I have a real problem. Quantum

relativity.

paleobotist. I want to tell you right
now
these moments make me love being a
scientist. So come explore with me.
