The Why Files releases video episodes on Spotify every Monday and Friday. And when you become a Spotify Premium subscriber, you get fewer ads – that means more story, less interruption. Daniel Whiteson is a particle physicist at UC Irvine and an active researcher at CERN's Large Hadron Collider — the largest machine ever built — where 5,000 scientists are using high-energy collisions to read the universe's secret menu. He co-hosts the show Daniel and Kelly's Extraordinary Universe, co-created an award-winning science show for preschoolers, and recently wrote a book asking whether aliens would even recognize our physics at all. His work sits at the collision point of experimental science, philosophy, and the biggest unanswered questions in physics — what everything is made of, why gravity is so weak, and whether the universe has a bottom. #ParticlePhysics #DarkMatter #CERN #AJGentile #danielwhiteson 00:00 — Introduction & Origin Story 36:07 — How the Large Hadron Collider Works 38:34 — The Planck Scale & The Big Bang 50:05 — Neutrinos, Pulsars & Gravitational Waves 58:51 — Life at CERN 01:10:21 — The Hierarchy Problem & The Higgs Boson 01:43:25 — Dark Matter & Dark Aliens 01:55:01 — Physics, Philosophy & Math 02:25:39 — Science Funding & Gatekeeping 02:33:25 — Your Phone Is a Cosmic Ray Detector 02:51:46 — Simulation Theory & Communicating with Aliens 03:13:54 — The Extended Drake Equation 03:36:35 — Warp Drives & One Question for the Aliens 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Executive Producers: Jennifer Gentile Gino Gentile AJ Gentile Patreon Members Editors: Joe Stone Drew Sullivan Brandon Snyder Ryan Fitzgerald Producers: Victoria Young Haley Burke Research: Haley Burke AJ Gentile Gino Gentile Jen Gentile Victoria Young Written/Hosted by: AJ Gentile Hecklefish J.
