    Abstract

    Jimena Canales is a historian of science and an expert in 19th and 20th century history of the physical sciences. Her major works include A Tenth of a Second: A History (University of Chicago Press, 2009); The Physicist and the Philosopher: Einstein, Bergson and the Debate That Changed Our Understanding of Time (Princeton University Press, 2015); and Bedeviled: A Shadow History of Demons in Science (Princeton University Press, 2020), which was recently awarded the Cosmos Prize for science popularisation. In this podcast, we explore the different conceptions of energy and time between Bergson and Einstein, Brownian motion and the elusive Maxwell’s demon.
