Daniel is a professor of physics at UC Irvine, researching particle physics at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. He is the co-host of the podcast ‘Daniel and Kelly’s Extraordinary Universe’ and the author of several books about physics for a general audience, including “Do Aliens Speak Physics?” And “We have no idea”.
In today’s episode, Daniel explores many questions, including:
-
Would we recognize an alien message if we received one?
-
If aliens landed in Central Park, would we be able to communicate?
-
How can we catch a baseball if we ignore all the interactions at the quantum level?
-
Why is even our best physics only an approximation?
