Beyond Higgs: The Wild Frontier of Particle Physics

That was an exciting conversation. I literally had (and still have), tears streaming down my face. At 57 years old, I'm just now starting to study physics / cosmology. It won't replace music (I'm currently studying piano), but when I can't sleep, I now watch these science shows instead of smoking weed.

After having watched this show for a fifth time, I still think it's, arguably, the best hour and a half you can spend at home in front of a computer screen.

I repeat as I do every time I watch a discussion headed by Brian Greene - He always keeps the topic flowing with his innate ability to sit back and let his guests talk about their particular knowledge of a subject (in their lingo) and then interpret it for all of us as if he were reading the morning newspaper over a cup of coffee. The best mediator you are ever going to find.

This episode is worth watching several times. Thanks for making this public!

I Literally have to go to sleep listening to Neil Degrasse Tyson or Brian Greene every night been doing this 10 years straight. Particles physics and Astrophysics, space period is the most interesting thing to me. Out this world ‼️

That woman is a hard worker, I’ve seen her role at CERN and it is very taxing work requiring unending dedication. All the panelists present are just as dedicated and dare I say, very enthusiastic.

Nima's enthusiasm that he seems to have in most of his talks is just contagious.

Monica Dunford is a fantastic teacher! She can explain enough to keep the students' mind engaged, and not so much to overwhelm.

I was there, in the audience for this. Absolutely thrilling!

Some thoughts: 1. This may be the greatest panel discussion on physics that I have ever heard. 2. You can tell that Nima Arkani-Hamed has an incredible grasp of these issues because he has not only facts at his disposal, but a narrative involving those facts. 3. The distance between the quality of our science and the quality of our politics is at this moment, heartbreaking. 4. Brian Greene has shown once again how important it is that a discussion about theoretical physics be moderated by a theoretical physicist.

Who else was beyond excited that they uploaded this ?

Youtube is a universe and finding this channel was my greatest discovery.

An absolutely beautiful discussion. Nima was exceptional in his explanations. The awe of discovery, the natural world and the wonder of it all is quite oddly fulfilling despite so much it it being an unknown. All of the World Science Festival discussions are awesome. Brian is a very good speaker, has a natural knack. Please never stop doing these discussions.

its amazing how intelligent and logical these people are in their approach a good lesson for all disciplines

I love the energy of trese people, they're so passionate about what they do. And Brian Green is very good at bringing out that passion in their explanations

Nima! What a pleasant surprise :)

The passion that comes through these guys especially Nima is totally infectious, it really makes me feel thrilled in anticipation about what the next 10, 20, 30 years of exploration will bring us.

this Nema guy knows his stuff .i am gonna follow him

8:48 Democritus isn't overcredited at all, because he fully deserves his credit. He reached this hypothesis by logic and rational arguments, which is a must if someone wants to be called a scientist. The "atomon" he perceived as the fundamental non-divisible particle that all matter consists of, is actually the quark. That he was this accurate thousands of years ago, should make us appreciate his mind's creativity and vision, and not minimize his contribution to science.

Nima is incredible. When he talks I feel like he is supercharging my brain with info. When he stops talking, I the whole world suddenly goes into slow motion.
