Episode description

Chaos, the weather, and why mathematicians can prove there isn't an answer to everything.

Niraj is a PhD student in nanophotonics, and wrote a children's book called Butterfly Flo and the Everything Effect—a story about a butterfly in the Australian bush who learns about chaos theory and how he can change the weather.
