#92 – Harry Cliff: Particle Physics and the Large Hadron Collider

Про цей епізод

<p>Harry Cliff is a particle physicist at the University of Cambridge working on the Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment that specializes in searching for hints of new particles and forces by studying a type of particle called the &#8220;beauty quark&#8221;, or &#8220;b quark&#8221;. In this way, he is part of the group of physicists who are searching answers to some of the biggest questions in modern physics. He is also an exceptional communicator of science with some of the clearest and most captivating explanations of basic concepts in particle physics I&#8217;ve ever heard.</p> <p>Support this podcast by signing up with these sponsors:<br /> – ExpressVPN at&#160;<a href="https://www.expressvpn.com/lexpod">https://www.expressvpn.com/lexpod</a><br /> – Cash App – use code “LexPodcast” and download:<br /> – Cash App (App Store):&#160;<a href="https://apple.co/2sPrUHe">https://apple.co/2sPrUHe</a><br /> – Cash App (Google Play):&#160;<a href="https://bit.ly/2MlvP5w">https://bit.ly/2MlvP5w</a></p> <p>EPISODE LINKS:<br /> Harry&#8217;s Website: <a href="https://www.harrycliff.co.uk/">https://www.harrycliff.co.uk/</a><br /> Harry&#8217;s Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/harryvcliff">https://twitter.com/harryvcliff</a><br /> Beyond the Higgs Lecture: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edvdzh9Pggg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edvdzh9Pggg</a><br /> Harry&#8217;s stand-up: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnediKM_Sts">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnediKM_Sts</a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This conversation is part of the Artificial Intelligence podcast.</span>&#160;If you would like to get more information about this podcast go to <a href="https://lexfridman.com/ai">https://lexfridman.com/ai</a> or connect with @lexfridman on <a href="https://twitter.com/lexfridman">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lexfridman/">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lexfridman">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://medium.com/@lexfridman">Medium</a>, or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/lexfridman">YouTube</a> where you can watch the video versions of these conversations.
