Solving The Biggest Mysteries Of Our Universe, With Dan Hooper

Big Brains - A podcast by University of Chicago Podcast Network - Thursdays

Scientists like Prof. Dan Hooper from the University of Chicago use something called the Standard Model of Physics to explain our universe, but there’s one big problem: The model has black hole-sized gaps in it. Hooper says it will probably take a paradigm-shifting discovery to answer the mysteries of our universe, and that those are a once-in-a-lifetime event. But, this year, something called the muon G-2 experiment at UChicago-affiliated Fermilab may have been just that discovery.
