How did complex life evolve? Where did space-time come from? Will computers ever understand language like we do? How did geometry create modern physics? These are just a few of the big and bold questions that we’ll be exploring in the latest season of Quanta’s interview podcast, “The Joy of Why,” starting March 20, and released every other Thursday.As ever, we will be talking to researchers and exploring the latest thinking on great scientific and mathematical questions of our time. But this season sees a new format, with the two of us — mathematician <a href="https://math.cornell.edu/steven-strogatz">Steven Strogatz</a> and physicist <a href="https://barnard.edu/profiles/janna-levin">Janna Levin</a> — together in conversation for the first time to offer our own thoughts and questions about each topic.As a preview, we discuss why we are particularly excited about the new season, and we reveal our favorite standout moments from the previous season.
