We don’t know what’s going on,
How could aliens know what’s going on?
I don’t even know what a Gold Standard is anymore. They put words and things in the government, and that’s what’s supposed to determine what things are? I don’t know anything anymore.
I’d like to know things, so let’s talk about them here on,

The Interview!
We want to welcome our guest, Dr. Daniel Whiteson. He’s a professor of physics at UC Irvine, coauthor of We Have No Idea, Frequently Asked Questions About the Universe, and now a third book called Do Aliens Speak Physics?
Dr. Daniel Whiteson’s research is in the field of Experimental High Energy Physics. He is interested in probing the structure of matter and the nature of its interactions at the very smallest scales, to understand the fundamental nature of our universe.Whiteson is part of the ATLAS collaboration which built, maintains, and collects data from the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, where the Higgs boson was discovered. His research uses the LHC to investigate the basic building blocks of the Universe around us, hoping to find new kinds of particles or interactions and reveal a deeper and simpler layer underlying our reality.. WELCOME TO TWIS, Daniel!
Dr. Kiki and Blair explore space and time with Dr. Daniel in this interesting interview you’ll want to listen to again and again!
