What does it take to win the Nobel Prize?
In my career, I've not only lost the Nobel Prize, but I've also interviewed many Nobel Laureates. So, who would know better how to win a Nobel Prize than me? Well, that's exactly why I was invited to the Morning Wave in Busan with Katherine Bang, where I had the pleasure of discussing this in depth.
Enjoy!

Paul Halpern is Professor of Physics at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. A prolific author, he has written sixteen science books and numerous articles. His interests range from space, time and higher dimensions to cultural aspects of science. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, Fulbright Scholarship, and an Athenaeum Literary Award, he has appeared on C-SPAN, the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, the PBS series "Future Quest," and "The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special."
Halpern's books include Time Journeys, Cosmic Wormholes, The Cyclical Serpent, Faraway Worlds, The Great Beyond, Brave New Universe, What's Science Ever Done for Us?, Collider, What's the Matter with Pluto?, Edge of the Universe, Einstein's Dice and Schrödinger's Cat, The Quantum Labyrinth, Synchronicity and Flashes of Creation. In Flashes of Creation, Professor Halpern breaks down the great debate over the Big Bang and the continuing quest to understand the fate of the universe.
Flashes of Creation, Paul Halpern Shows that just decades ago its mere mention caused sparks to fly. At the center of the debate were Russian American physicist George Gamow and British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle. Gamow insisted that a fiery explosion explained how the elements of the universe were created. Attacking the idea as half-baked, Hoyle countered that the universe was engaged in a never-ending process of creation. The battle was fierce. In the end, Gamow turned out to be right — mostly — and Hoyle, along with his many achievements, is remembered for giving the theory the silliest possible name: "The Big Bang." Halpern captures the brilliance of both thinkers and reminds us that even those proved wrong have much to teach us about boldness, imagination, and the universe itself.
00:00:00 Intro
00:02:00 The story behind the book
00:06:00 Enter the CMB!
00:07:09 The backstories of Hoyle and Gamow.
00:11:29 UC San Diego's part in the story.
00:14:07 Gamow, Hoyle and the origins of life, Panspermia, the resonance miracle.
00:17:40 Did the discovery of the CMB kill the steady state theory? (not exactly!)
00:21:44 The scientific integrity and stubbornness of Fred Hoyle.
00:30:27 Did Hoyle get the credit he was due? Precursors and Nobel Prizes.
00:35:38 Sharing credit where credit is due. Some unfairness in science.

‘Oumuamua is one of the central pieces of Avi Loeb's hunt for alien technology and the hunt for extraterrestrial life. But are we doing enough to study it properly?
In this clip, Joe and I discuss potential obstacles to going after Oumuamua and if billionaires should get involved.

Fritz Haber was a German Jewish chemist who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918 for his invention of the Haber–Bosch process, a method used in industry to synthesize ammonia from nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas. This invention is important for the large-scale synthesis of fertilizers and explosives. It is estimated that one-third of annual global food production uses ammonia from the Haber–Bosch process and that this supports nearly half the world population.
Haber is also considered the "father of chemical warfare" for his years of pioneering work developing and weaponizing chlorine and other poisonous gases during World War I, especially his actions during the Second Battle of Ypres.
On April 22, 1915, German forces shock Allied soldiers along the western front by firing more than 150 tons of lethal chlorine gas against two French colonial divisions at Ypres, Belgium. This was the first major gas attack by the Germans, and it devastated the Allied line. It is estimated that as many as 85% of the 91,000 gas deaths in WWI were a result of phosgene or the related agent, diphosgene (trichloromethane chloroformate). The most commonly used gas in WWI was 'mustard gas' [bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide].
