Understanding the universe at one coffee per year [w/ Achintya Rao]

RSS Feed
Our conversation with CERN’s Achintya Rao started with everyday life under COVID-19 and went into the deep mysteries of the universe.
In the conversation, we discussed:
— how do you talk about fundamental physics to laypeople (like Petko)
— how can we bridge science and spirituality
— what’s the justification for investing in large-scale scientific projects
— what is the ROI of fundamental science
— what experiments are being conducted at CERN right now?
— what is Achintya‘s favorite antimatter hypothesis being tested now
We also casually invoked Feynman, Dawkins, and the Pope. Listen up!
