The Impossible Sea Sweeps Into the Impossible Podcast

My hour-long conversation with UCSD Professor Brian Keating, on his Into the Impossible podcast, has just come out on YouTube; click here to listen.

We covered several topics from my book, including what particles really are and how the Higgs field gives them mass, along with others ranging from renormalization to the nature of the book’s cover.

The podcast’s intro sequence is a bit wild — a mix of Dr. Who meets the Discovery Channel — but hang tight, because the discussion itself is serious science. One thing that’s fun about it is that Keating asked me a number of questions that no one had asked me on prior podcasts that I’ve been on. The fact that some of his queries were a bit “out there” adds to the entertainment value. I think you’ll enjoy it.
