The good old days or the times we’d perhaps rather forget? Dr Sophie Atherton (The University of Edinburgh) explores why stories of the past are so important to understand the present. And quantum physicist Dr Nick Werren (Heriot-Watt University) journeys to the 17th century to investigate how the early physics of light was shaped by brilliant minds doing terribly stupid things.
