813: Weird Orbits and How They Work with Dr. Renu Malhotra
My guest today is Dr. Renu Malhotra, a planetary scientist who specializes in planetary migration and orbital mechanics. Dr. Malhotra and her team have discovered that Pluto's orbit is surprisingly chaotic at small timescales and yet surprisingly stable at larger timescale. We'll talk about her research and the science of orbital mechanics that led to the current orbits of the planets in the Solar System.https://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~renu/π OUR WEBSITE:ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββhttps://www.universetoday.com/π PODCAST LINKS:ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββRSS: https://universetoday.com/audioiTunes: https://universetoday.com/itunesSpotify: https://universetoday.com/spotifyπ EMAIL NEWSLETTER:ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββRead by 50,000 people every Friday.

805: W Boson Breaking the Standard Model with Dr. Paul Sutter
Particle physicists have announced an exciting discovery about the W Boson particle that challenges the Standard Model of Physics. To help me understand what was discovered and what it means for physics, I've invited Dr. Paul Sutter back to explain it. Paul is a fantastic science communicator and has a PhD in particle physics. The perfect person to help us make sense of this.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBr7XOxxQyBHEwqkhoci7vwTimecodes:Start 00:00:00Edge of Knowledge 00:01:26What is the W Boson? 00:03:14How is the mass of the W boson measured? 00:07:32What was the result of the experiment? 00:09:14What explains the result? 00:11:37What comes next? 00:19:35Follow Paul's work 00:22:55π OUR WEBSITE:ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββhttps://www.universetoday.com/π PODCAST LINKS:ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββRSS: https://universetoday.com/audioiTunes: https://universetoday.com/itunesSpotify: https://universetoday.com/spotifyπ EMAIL NEWSLETTER:ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββRead by 50,000 people every Friday.

804: What Is Dark Matter Made Of with Dr. Surjeet Rajendran
My guest today is Dr. Surjeet Rajendran, a physics professor at Johns Hopkins University. In addition to his teaching, Dr. Rajendran's research is in theoretical physics, with a strong focus on what comes after the standard model. What could dark matter be? How can gravity be merged with quantum mechanics?https://physics-astronomy.jhu.edu/directory/rajendran/π OUR WEBSITE:ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββhttps://www.universetoday.com/π PODCAST LINKS:ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββRSS: https://universetoday.com/audioiTunes: https://universetoday.com/itunesSpotify: https://universetoday.com/spotifyπ EMAIL NEWSLETTER:ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββRead by 50,000 people every Friday.
