BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, A Century on - Einstein's Theory is Proved Right

How does the discovery of gravitational waves fit in with the rest of Einstein's work?

How do gravitational waves fit in with the rest of Einstein's work? The World Tonight speaks to UCL emeritus professor of the History and Philosophy of Science Arthur J Miller.

We discuss how the discovery of gravitational waves fits in with the rest of Einstein's work. We also hear how President Zuma managed to create political waves in the South African parliament as he delivered his state of the nation address. Plus the urban birder on why 1 out of 9 children don't visit parks. And the new play about women who formed relationships with undercover police officers.
