Into The Impossible

Have we been completely wrong about the Higgs boson? What if it’s not what we think but something far more elusive? And what does the origin of mass in the universe have to do with music? Here today to explore these mind-bending questions is theoretical physicist Matt Strassler. Matt is known for his work in particle physics, particularly in the context of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and quantum field theory. He has been involved in research on the Higgs boson, supersymmetry, and other topics in high-energy physics.  In our insightful interview, we dive into the mysteries of quantum physics, the nature of space, and how waves—not just particles—form the building blocks of reality.  Tune in to find out how the Higgs field gives mass to everything in the universe!  Key Takeaways: 00:00:00 Intro  00:01:24 Deepak or Matt?  00:03:18 Judging a book by its cover  00:06:27 Energy, frequency, and vibration  00:11:53 What is a phib, and why should the reader care?  00:16:15 Galileo’s impact  00:20:51 The H
