Listener email:

"I don't know if there is a creator, but if there is, I really hope he has your voice."

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

Listener email:

"your podcast has been so inspiring that I will take an introduction to physics class at Community College. I have always been intimidated by physics but your show makes it seem very approachable"

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

Lovely listener email:

"I love you both, even when your jokes are a bit corny, I suppose those a moments I realise I'm listening to nerds, but I'm a nerd too so that's not a criticism etc...you make me feel that I've been educated by friends. Thank you so much for what you do."

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

Is physics invented or discovered?

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

Daniel and Kelly talk to Ethan Siegal (@StartsWithABang ) about whether we should expect physics to be explained by a single unified theory.

Have you ever wondered why physicists are so excited to study the Higgs Boson at a new Higgs Factory collider?

Wonder no more!

I explain what a Higgs factory is, why we need one, and the amazing measurements the machine will make.

Check it out!
