🔍 Curious about the mysteries of the universe and the wonders of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN? Look no further!
## Unveiling the Secrets of the Universe
### My Journey with the Large Hadron Collider
🌌 Exploring the farthest reaches of the cosmos and the tiniest particles that shape our reality has been a thrilling adventure. At CERN, home to the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, we delve into the heart of matter to uncover the building blocks of the universe.
### The Fascinating World of Experimental Oddities
🔬 In my new book, I dive into the world of experimental oddities – the strange phenomena and unexpected results that challenge our current understanding of the cosmos. From quarks to black holes, we are constantly amazed by the intricate tapestry of the universe.
### How Experimental Oddities Shape Our Understanding
1. **Pushing the Boundaries**: Uncovering anomalies in our experiments pushes the boundaries of our knowledge and drives scientific discovery.
2. **Revisiting Theories**: Sometimes, oddities force us to rethink existing theories and develop new frameworks to explain the universe’s quirks.
3. **Inspiring Curiosity**: These mysteries spark curiosity and ignite a sense of wonder in both scientists and the general public.

Hi (Dr) Harry, your book looks very interesting. What’s your current gut feel on whether some variation of quantum mechanics is fundamental, vs is emergent from some deeper reality?
What level of science understanding is required to read your book?
Can you try to explain how you go through an experiment for inception to completion? What kind of thinking does it take to figure out a way to test and build upon theories and hypotheses?
I heard that things going on at CERN point to a direction that space time isn’t fundamental. Is this just woo woo or anything to that? Thank you!
Which are your personal picks for current/trending exciting results from the particle physics front? (and maybe some fundamental physics)
If you have no starting point, would love to heard your opinion of some things ive herad. I heard of a mix of things, but not sure of the current status and “on-the-ground” opinion:
1) the apparent violation of Lepton Universality in B (meson?) decays apparently has been quashed around q4 2023 with the discovery of some systematic errors. I hear some anomalies remain regarding some related forms of decay. What are your thoughts? Feeling hopeful still?
2) the muon g-2 anomaly. Seems like a the theoretical predictions itself don’t agree, and the outlier are the calculation from one theoretical approach , while the other agrees. Still exciting? Do you think we will make progress on this soon?
3) Heard there are developments on the QCD front from this article: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/physicists-finally-know-how-the-strong-force-gets-its-strength/ As a layman, it seems this is a breakthrough on the ability to calculate for any QCD interactions. Or maybe there are other other issues with working with QCD theoretical predictions that are unclear?
4) the muon collider proposal. Do you think it is the way forward? And would be reality
