Dan Green Physics is NOT In Crisis! (#296)

Is fundamental physics in trouble as past guests like Lee Smolin, Lawrence Krauss, Eric Weinstein, Sabine Hossenfelder, and Neil Turok have suggested?

Dan Green is a theoretical physicist focusing on the intersection of cosmology and high energy particle physics. He's a professor at UC San Diego, where Into The Impossible's new studio is located. Dan discusses his career progression, his research, and some of the most significant, though possibly underappreciated, results in fundamental physics for the last several decades. Enjoy a great discussion and learn some new physics in our very first in-person episode at our new studio!
