In Losing the Nobel Prize, cosmologist and inventor of the BICEP (Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization) experiment Brian Keating tells the inside story of BICEP2’s mesmerizing discovery and the scientific drama that ensued. In an adventure story that spans the globe from Rhode Island to the South Pole, from California to Chile, Keating takes us on a personal journey of revelation and discovery, bringing to vivid life the highly competitive, take-no-prisoners, publish-or-perish world of modern science. Along the way, he provocatively argues that the Nobel Prize, instead of advancing scientific progress, may actually hamper it, encouraging speed and greed while punishing collaboration and bold innovation. In a thoughtful reappraisal of the wishes of Alfred Nobel, Keating offers practical solutions for reforming the prize, providing a vision of a scientific future in which cosmologists may, finally, be able to see all the way back to the very beginning. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYi3i20GJeM

#ParticlePhysics #HiggsBoson #LargeHardonCollider Harry Cliff is a particle physicist at the University of Cambridge working on the LHCb experiment, a huge particle detector buried 100 meters underground at CERN near Geneva. He is a member of an international team of around 1400 physicists, engineers, and computer scientists who are using LHCb to study the basic building blocks of our universe, in search of answers to some of the biggest questions in modern physics. He also spends a big chunk of his time sharing his love of physics with the public. His first popular science book, How To Make An Apple Pie From Scratch, was published in August 2021. From 2012 to 2018 he held a joint post between Cambridge and the Science Museum in London, where he curated two major exhibitions: Collider (2013) and The Sun (2018). He has given a large number of public talks, including at TED and the Royal Institution, and made numerous appearances on television, radio, and podcasts. 00:00:00 Intro 00:04:00 Origin of the book cover and title 00:07:56 What was your thought process in writing this book? Was it a science career risk? 00:12:04 Is there too much hype in science? Is LHC worth it? 00:18:15 What is a "historic" experiment and why do you refer to them in the book? 00:23:31 When can you trust a theorist? 00:26:25 What's new about the "new" physics? 00:30:16 How far away are the next breakthroughs in physics? 00:30:43 Justifying big physics: Was finding the Higgs boson worth it? 00:34:34 The next big physics machine - and the one that wasn't (The Superconducting Supercollider) 00:38:32 The latest results from LHCb collaboration. 00:47:15 Is this really "new" physics or simply modifications to the standard model and its forces? Anomalies? 00:53:28 What is the elementary particle missing gap to the Standard Model? 00:55:59 On the miraculous "fine-tuning" of the Universe, and thoughts on the multiverse. 01:00:24 What is Harry's day job? (LHCb) 01:07:57 Can we get to a grand unified theory with existing data? 01:14:45 Can you foresee getting more out of the existing data with new computational methods? 01:19:15 What would you put in your ethical will? 01:24:00 What would you put on your billion-year time capsule for the future? 01:26:17 What has occurred in your life that you thought was impossible? What advice would you give your younger self?
