George Ellis straddles several worlds. He was captured in his youth by the field of cosmology -- "the study of the origins and evolution of the universe." He's had a prolific career as a writer and lecturer on issues of time, space, and relativity. In Apartheid era South Africa, he also established himself as a social activist and a scathing critic of the nationalist regime. In recent years, he's developed a theory that there are deep ethical truths built in to the physical universe.
Host Krista Tippett speaks with Dr. Ellis before a live audience at the studios of WHYY in Philadelphia. Listen as we hear how he unites his convictions about faith, ethics, and cosmology.
