Voices on particle physics

Standout quotes from every episode that touches this concept.

"The fact that we can deduce the existence of something that we don’t directly see is really a tribute to people that we can do that."
"We actually don’t know what dark matter is in the first place, we don’t know what most of it is, we don’t know what a fraction is."
"For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we are still just able to endure, and we’re so odd because it’s serenely disdains to annihilate us."
"I love the idea that there’s so much more out there, that there’s a bigger universe and there’s lots to discover and that we’re not all there is."
"I’m smart enough to know that I have no idea."
