Ep 45: Asymmetries of the Universe
Synopsis
Experimental Physicist, inventor & comedian Dr. Kevin Hickerson joined the podcast to discuss some of the mysteries in particle physics & the Standard Model. We give you a 101 course on the Standard Model (as well as you can on a podcast), address quantum gravity, dark matter & really dig deep into the asymmetry of Matter & Energy (where’s the antimatter) as well as ultra cold neutrons. If you like physics (Quantum Physics), you’ll love this podcast!
