Join mathematician Professor Hannah Fry and science creator Michael Stevens (Vsauce) as they dig into the weird scientific questions that often go unexplored.
Welcome to The Rest Is Science, a show that sits in the fascinating space between what we think we know, and what we actually know. Why do we assume we understand things like time, randomness, or even gravity? Once you start questioning these familiar ideas, reality becomes astonishingly strange and completely fragile.
Whether you're a lifelong science fan or just naturally curious, The Rest Is Science will change your perception of reality, and prove that the biggest questions are always the most fun.
This podcast really scratches my curiosity itch! Both hosts are so nice and fun to listen too! Would love to grab a beer and chat with these two!

The greatest verbal description of the answers to every question I’ve ever thought to have.

I would’ve given this a five star rating except for the fact that it’s a Goalhanger production owned by that tool Gary Lineker. How did Lineker get a charity like UK Cancer to sponsor this show? Lineker is a billionaire, I hope he’s not making UK Cancer pay for the sponsorships?

Can u catch water?? Does it count if it hits you? How long must it be in your hands for it to qualify as a catch. You could cup your hands but how long could you hold it for?

These two are fantastic! I could listen to them for hours…their enthusiasm is addictive and it makes me go and find out more information! Keep up the good work!

Michael talks too much. Hannah’s doesn’t get a word in. He’s not engaging. I find myself switching off. Hannah is wasted on this. She should be the one leading the conversation or make it more balanced. Listened to one, won’t listen to another. I rate all the other The Rest is… podcasts. This misses the mark by a mile

My new favourite podcast. The hosts are entertaining and play off the other really well.

It’s mid. It is interesting content and Hannah is amazing but it is brought down by his accent and unnatural Ed’s I would say listen to curious cases, a science podcast but recently they swapped out Adam for dara so my favourite podcasts are ruined

This is a great podcast! There are soooooo many new things i’ve learned listening to this. Keep up the good work!

Schoolgirl giggling from Hannah and wacky-doodle nonsense from Michael makes for a very annoying and unsatisfying mix. Too much ‘fluff’ to waste any more time on this.

Hello Im sam an eleven year old boy from New Zealand. I listen to every episode ( it’s my favourite podcast). My question is, why do you feel sleepy after you wake up , even when you have had a good sleep;why don’t you just feel alive and alert. Wouldn’t that trait would be dangerous because the predators would attack them while they’re still dozzy

As I cracked my ankle on my open dishwasher tonight I had an instant thought of Hannah before the pain arrived! Real life application. Love it.

They were less woke-ish. I understand you must be funny to appeal to people. Trying too hard to be funny makes it annoying and the hints are just too much. I do appreciate it for facts and news in science in a podcast format and I will continue listening parts of episodes when science and facts are described but will move on when they start being comedians. Some people can do both but not these two.

I’ve got this theory that we’re attracted to certain tunes that share the same chords or and keys because we’re wired to enjoy certain frequencies

Amazing show that I follow on YouTube to avoid the ads but it still deserves 5 stars here 😃
Huweii · FR
I hate ads but understand they are a necessary evil. Might just be me, but I don’t want to hear about cancer for 10mins every episode. Trying to distract myself from such things.
