ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How did Einstein’s ideas help set the stage for the technology we use every day? In this episode of Science 101, host Daniel Lucas welcomes Sunil Mehta, author of The Compass, for a journey through scientific discovery and innovation.
Sunil draws on more than forty years in Silicon Valley, 92 U.S. patents, and extensive historical research to explore three influential figures: Albert Einstein, semiconductor pioneer Robert Noyce, and Steve Jobs. Together, we trace the progression from revolutionary physics to the semiconductor revolution and the personal devices that transformed daily life.
We also discuss why Sunil chose historical fiction to tell this story. Through four students who travel into the past in The Compass, he invites readers to meet the people behind the breakthroughs and consider the choices that helped shape our technological world.
