Ways of Knowing: Cosmic Visions - Moon Stories
The World According to Sound (US 2023)
13 min
The World According to Sound work with universities to translate academic research into sound. Each season has a radically different format and topic. This current series Cosmic Visions
explores the spirit of inquiry, which spans tens of thousands of years, was cultivated by civilizations around the globe, and has been shaped by ways of thinking that may seem at first “unscientific,” but which have led to great leaps in our understanding of the cosmos. Cosmic Visions is produced in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University.
Storytelling was one of the earliest ways humans tried to make sense of the heavens. The first object of major study was the moon, and that's because of an uncanny ability it has to keep time.
Produced by Chris Hoff and Sam Harnett
