The Session with Tom Swarbrick will explore the frontier of human ingenuity and endeavour by asking the public’s burning questions about life as we know it.
Each episode will explore subjects ranging from who we are and why we are here, to whether time really exists and are we alone in the universe? In his quest for answers, Tom will interview neuroscientists, philosophers, physicists and engineers.
