Ep252 - Suzie Sheehy | The Matter of Everything: Twelve Experiments that Changed Our World
Summary
<p><span> Accelerator physicist Dr. Suzie Sheehy visits Google to discuss her book "The Matter of Everything: Twelve Experiments that Changed Our World." Her book tells a hopeful story of human ingenuity, creativity and unending curiosity, and introduces us to the people who, through a combination of genius, persistence and luck, staged ground-breaking experiments that shaped the world as we know it.<br /> <br /> From the physicists who soared in hot air balloons on the trail of new particles, to the serendipitous discovery of X-rays in a German lab; and from the race to split open the atomic nucleus, to the quest to find the third generation of matter, Dr. Sheehy offers a reminder of the thrilling discoveries that have shaped our lives—often without us even knowing it. Radio, TV, the chips in our smartphones, MRI scanners, radar equipment and microwaves, to name a few: these were all made possible by our determination to understand, and control, our world.</span></p> <p><span> Moderated by Matt Bongiovi.</span></p> <p dir="ltr">Visit <a href="https://youtu.be/k_VlF0M-l7E">YouTube.com/TalksatGoogle</a> to watch the video.</p> <p> </p>
