Big Picture Science for Aug. 16th, 2021 - Phreaky Physics







Big Picture Science - Phreaky Physics

It was a radical idea a century ago, when Einstein said space and time can be bent, and gravity was really geometry. We hear how his theories inspire young minds even today.

At small scales, different rules apply: quantum mechanics and the Standard Model for particles. New experiments suggest that muons – cousins of the electron – may be telling us that the Standard Model is wrong. Also, where the physics of both the large and small apply, and why black holes have no hair.

Guests:


New opening theme song, "Kinematics," composed arranged, programmed and produced by Jun Miyake. Musicians: Jun Miyake (Rhodes, keyboards), Andy Bevan (clarinet), Bob Zung (clarinet), Atsuki Yoshida (violins and violas), Masahiro Itami (guitars) Mixing engineer: Philippe Avril.
