A podcast from "Tel Aviv 360" of Tel Aviv University (Hebrew only)
"Seekers of Science" is the science and engineering magazine of the Tel Aviv 360 podcast channel, under the guidance of doctoral students Gal Finkelstein-Zota from the Department of Materials Engineering at Tel Aviv University and Yonatan Barkheim from the Department of Chemical and Biological Physics at the Weizmann Institute of Science.
In each episode, Gal and Jonathan will shine a spotlight on new and groundbreaking research in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, medical sciences, engineering, computer science and more.
The program includes diverse corners including science news, interesting facts, scientific puzzles and a host of other updates that pay a lot of respect to science.
The current chapter deals with astrophysics and particle physics. Prof. Renan Barkana from the School of Physics and Astronomy at Tel Aviv University shares with us his fascinating research on dark matter and the first stars. Doctoral student Uri Vogel, also from the School of Physics and Astronomy, is looking for particles beyond the standard model. And of course, wait for the scientific puzzle at the end of the episode.
Comments
If you mean the Higgs particle, the story of the God particle is not a religious story at all, he wanted to call it the cursed particle (Goddammit). The journal that published the article did not like that it contained curse words, so they asked to shorten it to GOD PARTICLE/
By the way, I was at the Higgs Nobel Prize event
Already then..
When I understood the huge distances between the nucleus of the atom and the electrons...
I imagined how with a slight change of angle it would be possible for 2 atoms to pass each other in spaces.
Today we see in the cosmos
A passage of galaxies is through each other in the spaces between the stars...
instead of a collision and crash.
To your question…
The search was for that divine spark of + to create the initial phase of matter..
When it was discovered at the Sarno particle accelerator
Scientists from all over the world were gathered and the scientist who invented the particle won the Nobel Prize.
I'm not a scientist.
And at the age of 75+ the memory for names is not strong..
Working on photographic memory.
My path began with an interest in the cosmos
is a book I read at the age of 9 called "The Universe"
With DNA data of curiosity, imagination and creativity...
(I didn't play with dolls)
For the age of 6, I asked for a doll that closes its eyes and makes sounds.
(monthly salary of my parents)
Just to get the mechanisms out of it to understand how gravity works
