All about the LHC and the search for the Higgs thingy and the birth of the Universe. Brian Cox was one of the talking heads. Quite an enjoyable piece of television.

Completely agree with "Yishai" when it comes to spending money on science. Our future, if not personal but of our descendants completely depends on it. Much of our nowadays misfortunes are consequences of short term vision. Keep on with the great work of enlightening our knowledge and the great opportunities it may open in the future.

I always have trouble explaining the justification for spending money on science. And you explained it very very well and relatable to all. Thank you. Great podcast!

Oh well. "Move along" attitude? That's funny, if not utterly wrong. I am very careful to make my arguments based on evidence such as math, physics, observations, logic, rationality, and a firm but (depending on evidence) malleable sense of what is real. But golly, other than that... I’ve found more often that my arguments don’t work on the weak-minded. Oh well.

Your move-along-nothing-to-see-here attitude is condesending. Just because we are worried that the Standard Model doesn't work and that want to punch a hole in the universe (where "the centre is everywhere") to find out what is going on? Your Jedi Mind tricks only work on the weak minded. What’s with all the “anti-science” propoganda? Your move-along-nothing-to-see-here attitude is condesending.
