First Segment: Dr. Katie Mack, Author.

This revelation set her on the path toward theoretical astrophysics.

Guiding us through cutting-edge science and major concepts in quantum mechanics, cosmology, string theory, and much more, The End of Everything is a wildly fun, surprisingly upbeat ride to the farthest reaches of all that we know.Topics:WebsiteBook — Katie Mack, Astrophysicist(17) Katie Mack (@AstroKatie) / Twitter(3) LHC animation: The path of the protons – YouTubeThe Future Circular Collider | CERNAMC is reopening theaters today with 15-cent tickets – CNETRazer sheds its gamer guise for new workplace Pro mouse and keyboard – CNETProsthesis is a real-life mech suit you can pilot, like the Power Loader – CNETFor full show notes, check out ComputerAmerica.com!
