Or are you violating, because you're a rogue, you're a maverick.

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

Yeah.

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

Is there a model that allows for that?

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

There are a few models that do predict that, that predict weird paths.

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

For example, a magnetic monopole, a particle that has just a north or just a south.

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

Yes.

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

But my hope is that we find something that nobody predicted.

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

I want to make the discovery that violates people's assumptions possible.

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

that makes them go, what?

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

That's impossible.

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

That means we're gonna have to tear up everything we knew.

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

And like, yeah, that's the whole idea, right?

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

So yeah, there are some predictions, but I'm not a fan of any of them.

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

And I'm hoping we discover something that doesn't match to any predictions.

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

That would be much more fun.

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

Have you ever found anything that maybe isn't a huge discovery, but made you go, whoa, I didn't see that coming.

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

Have you been surprised?

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

Anything in the data yet?

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

We had a moment in the data about 10 years ago when we thought we had a discovery.

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

we were looking at events and we saw a bump, right?
