This episode of #InOurTime is splendid in its total incomprehensible-ness. So worm holes may or may not exist, and they are bubbles not holes or tunnels, and we don’t know where we would come out. And they’d have to be kilometres wide for us to find them. And and and. Yikes.
A particularly interesting edition of #inourtime on R4 on the English Renaissance poet & diplomat Sir Thomas Wyatt… here drawn by Hans Holbein (Royal collection)

I feel that #BBCInOurTime has a ‘Flowers For Algernon’ effect on me: while I’m listening to it I feel steadily better informed and more intelligent. Half an hour after it has ended, my brain has shrunk back to its usual size… #InOurTime
