Interview with Barry Barish, the former director of the LIGO laboratory (1994-1997). Barish talks about the development of the experiment, the GW150914 event, about blind injections and why he felt a big relief when the second event was seen (25:00).
Barish shares many intersting insights of his 23 years with LIGO - since he had taken the directors's position in a very difficult period.
Interview recorded in Munich 2017. Thanks to the Siemens Foundation for their hospitality.

Pierre-Marie Robitaille, professor for radiology at Ohio State University, built the first 8 Tesla nuclear magnetic resonance machine in 1998, setting the world record for image resolution.
After he had identified a flaw in Kichhoff's law of thermal radiation, Robitaille concluded that the Sun cannot be gaseous and provided strong evidence that it consists of liquid metallic hydrogen. In this interview, he describes his outstanding career and his personal way to science.
Videotaped in Munich 2019.

Talk given by Alexander Unzicker (Author of "The Higgs Fake" and "Bankrupting Physics") at the DPG Meeting in Berlin, March 17th, 2015.
The most fundamental constants of physics, the speed of light c and Planck's constant h, might be anomalies of Newtonian physics that force us to doubt the validity of the concepts of space and time as such.
Discussion: "Max Planck would spin in his grave"
