In its three hour-long programs, SEARCHING asks deep and timeless questions: Where do we humans fit in the grand scheme of things? Why do we yearn for permanence in an impermanent universe? Are we just atoms and molecules, or something more? All of the conversations lasted for much longer than we could include in the broadcast. This series of SEARCHING podcasts gives us an opportunity to share with you some of those extended conversations.

CERN.

Episode 11

Thursday, May 11, 2023 • Duration 54:52

CERN is the largest scientific instrument in the world, and it’s a collaboration between the European nations which funded it, and a global collaboration of researchers and instrument builders from many nations: the US, Japan, the Russian Federation, China, and many more - an example of how science transcends borders. (Listen for Andres’ wonderful story of how WW2-era Russian naval guns were melted down to provide a special kind of brass needed for one detector.) So it’s appropriate that this last audio podcast gives voice to four researchers: CERN Director-General Fabiola Gianotti (Italy); theorist Dorota Grabowska (USA); Andres Delannoy (USA/Puerto Rico) and Andre David (Portugal.) Thanks to all of them, and CERN media rep Sarah Charley, and all others who welcomed us to this unique and amazing facility.

Rai Weiss

Episode 10

Thursday, April 20, 2023 • Duration 01:20:42

Rai Weiss, born 1932, is a modern day Galileo: that might seem like hyperbole but he was a key player in designing, testing and then building an entirely new kind of astronomical instrument that can unveil aspects of the universe that would otherwise go completely unseen. He shared in the 2017 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, which detected the 2015 collision of two black holes more than a billion miles from Earth. In this podcast, recorded in the rather noisy high bay workshop at MIT, Rai tells how he got started - tinkering with radios and hi-fi’s - and reveals fascinating details of the long decades of work to create LIGO.
