The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

We don't know.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

That's exploration, right?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

We have ideas.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

We have theories.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

We can use our ideas to figure it out.

When the universe tells you the answer and you're like, that can't be, it's impossible.
