THE HIDDEN LAWS OF LIFE AND DEATH ON EARTH

Why do animals, cities, and companies all obey the same hidden rules of growth and decline? Geoffrey West, theoretical physicist and bestselling author of Scale, has spent decades uncovering the universal laws that connect biology, business, and civilization itself.

In this conversation, he’ll explore why larger organisms live longer, why bigger cities spark more innovation (but also more crime), and why companies seem destined to fail. What do these patterns reveal about the limits of growth — and the future of our planet?

Join us as we ask the big question: if scaling laws govern life and society, can they also point us toward a path of sustainability before it’s too late?
