I didn't even get picked initially.

Dan Ward-SmithGUEST
He's a really great guy.
Dan Ward-SmithGUEST
But he actually got picked in the first couple of games.

The Welshies were all pretty good.

Nathan Budget, Geraint Lewis, who I spoke about, Chippy, Nathan Strange.
Dan Ward-SmithGUEST
Yeah, so it's a good Welsh connection.
Karl KruszelnickiHOST
I acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first Australians and traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work.
Karl KruszelnickiHOST
[upbeat music] This is the live Q&A session that we recorded in Sydney following Geraint Lewis's book launch.
Karl KruszelnickiHOST
The book launch for his book The Shortest History of Reality.
Karl KruszelnickiHOST
Fine book.
Robyn WilliamsHOST
It may not exist.
Robyn WilliamsHOST
And later in the Science Show, a Welsh scientist and philosopher, that deadly combination, Professor Geraint Lewis, tells us now may be really suspect.
Robyn WilliamsHOST
Such is reality.
Belinda SmithHOST
Oh, gosh, it's too early for these kinds of conversations, Robin.

Robyn WilliamsHOST
Professor Lisa Harvey-Smith at the marvelous Beaker Street Festival in Hobart just finished.
Robyn WilliamsHOST
Now, yes, I said now, what about all that connected entanglement? What is real? That's all in a new book from Geraint Lewis, The Shortest History of Reality, and he's with me now.
Robyn WilliamsHOST
Or is he? Now, my first argument with you, Geraint, is the word now.
Robin WilliamsHOST
Yes, I said now.

Robin WilliamsHOST
I'm with you now, but it's been several seconds since I've said now.
Geraint LewisGUEST
Or that the universe is unfolding in some sort of really complicated, messy way.
Geraint LewisGUEST
But yeah, the notion of now is not a simple one to talk about anymore.
Robin WilliamsHOST
As I look at you, I know I'm not looking at Geraint Lewis.
Robin WilliamsHOST
I'm looking at my interpretation of various signals that go through my decrepit eyes into my brain, and there you are, the right way up.
Robin WilliamsHOST
It may not exist.

Karl KruszelnickiHOST
[upbeat music] Hello.
Karl KruszelnickiHOST
Look, we're very thrilled to be here, Professor Geraint Lewis and I, at the Willoughby Library, um, in Sydney, talking about his fabulous new book, The Shortest History of Reality.
Karl KruszelnickiHOST
So we're going to dive into exactly what that means for half an hour, and then go for questions and answers later.
Karl KruszelnickiHOST
Now, Geraint is, that's Welsh by the way, is my go-to person in physics for a whole bunch of things.
24 MINS LATER
Karl KruszelnickiHOST
Now, we're roughly halfway through the show and roughly halfway through my list of questions, but we want to hear from you.
Karl KruszelnickiHOST
If anybody wants to ask a question at this stage, raise your hand.
Karl KruszelnickiHOST
Well, that's where we will leave part one of this conversation with Geraint Lewis.
Karl KruszelnickiHOST
But fret not, there is more to come.
