Big mysteries explained through your senses
This TED Radio Hour episode gathers three speakers around a single question: can the senses reveal what lies beyond ordinary perception? Astronomer Mark Whittle, chemosensory researcher Paule Joseph, and artist Yiyun Kang each approach the hidden world through a different sensory lens. The hour brings together talks from cosmology, taste and smell science, and art, all treating perception as a gateway to larger mysteries.
