Hello and welcome to Bryan and Robyn's Infinite Inbox. I'm Robyn Inc. I'm one of the presenters of

0:05.3

the Infinite Monkey Cage on Radio 4. Across from me is Professor Bryan Cox. I'm the other

0:10.7

presenter of the Infinite Monkey Cage on Radio 4. And I have lots of questions for him which were

0:15.7

sent by listeners. I presume they're listeners or they're just people are shot in the dark

0:20.0

imagining what's on of the show. Well they're not somehow emailed us. They're not just for me

0:23.3

though, they're for you as well. I think you should feel qualified to answer them. How many we've

0:28.0

accent for that because you get a lot of complaints for that kind of thing. Well do a Radio 3 accent then.

1:20.9

Well this is from James Davis in Garstang in Lancashire. His question Bryan is this and if you

1:26.9

get this right it means the rest of the show we don't have to do and it just goes straight into

1:30.7

playing the rights of spring. Could you summarise all the laws of physics on a stamp such that it
