50 minsNobel laureate, physicist FRANK WILCZEK tells us why what we think of as empty space is not so empty, why it is actually seething with spontaneous activity. Indian writer and activist ARUNDHATI ROY argues that ballot-box democracy in her country brings very little to the vast masses of the poor. Philosopher SUSAN NEIMAN calls for a new Enlightenment based on four virtues: happiness, reason, reverence and hope.
