A podcast rating and reviewing all of the Nobel laureates from 1901 until we run out of people.
We return to merry old England this episode as we cover our next physics laureate. Listen as we describe what is often considered the most productive period of the Cavendish Laboratory, and what else JJ was up to besides.
