- Is String Theory the "spherical cow" of quantum gravity theories? 🐮 String theorist Prof Thomas Van Riet explains why string theory is an extremely powerful framework that will still be taught decades from now. Link: youtube.com/shorts/QkPhtB_8xMg #Physics #stringtheory #gravity ⚛️🧪
- We regularly hear that theoretical physicists are scared to go against the opinions of the "Voldemort" of theoretical physics, Ed Witten. Are theoretical physicists really scared of Ed Witten?...No. String theorist Prof Thomas Van Riet explains. Link: youtube.com/shorts/eA14rrbg-Gs ⚛️🧪
- Fascinating and entertaining discussion with Prof Thomas Van Riet about why theoretical physicists still find string theory so appealing. We cover the physics/maths advances, career trajectories, public perception & more! YouTube: youtu.be/DNHvv1N6qwo Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/1OWC... ⚛️🧪
- Did you know that the Large Hadron Collider can detect earthquakes? In 2016, a huge quake in New Zealand - thousands of miles away from CERN - was detected because it altered the orbits of the protons in the 27km long accelerator! Check it out! Link: youtube.com/shorts/FghiGpNDDkw ⚛️🧪
