TEDTalk Tuesday
Tuesday has in fact arrived.
This weeks TedTalk is by Gian Guidice
Gian Giudice, the foxy head of the theoretical department at CERN, among many other illustrious qualities.
He calculated that the our universe may be on a knife-edge of existence in only a local minimum. That the higgs field can quantum tunnel into the next lower-energy minimum, creating a rapidly-expanding bubble that spreads like wildfire through the whole universe. Within this bubble, the forces that are responsible for matter as we know it can no longer work together. We won't even see it coming. It could be happening right now.
Good luck sleeping tonight!
The biggest surprise of discovering the Higgs boson? That there were no surprises. Gian Giudice talks us through a problem in theoretical physics: what if the Higgs field exists in an ultra-dense state that could mean the collapse of all atomic matter? With wit and charm, Giudice outlines a grim fate -- and why we shouldn't start worrying just yet. (Filmed at TEDxCERN.)
