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

People laugh about it.

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

Ha ha ha, you thought it was going to be real.

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

But you know, it was a good faith explanation for a big mystery, a big question we had about the universe, which remains unanswered.

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

We still don't know.

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

Why is the Higgs boson so low mass?

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

Why is gravity so much weaker than the other forces?

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

You know, it's not something we understand, and it could just be, hey, that's just the way it is, you know?

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

It could be no good explanation.

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

I need to ask my stupid question, and I'm sorry for it, but it might connect to later.

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

So gravity's, I don't know the numbers, what, 10 to the negative 35th or something like that against electromagnetism?

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

Yeah.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

So we've got RS1, we've got the bulk, extra dimensions, space compactifies exponentially,

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

Gravity originates from deep within there.

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

I guess the plank brain would be that endpoint.

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

And gravity is super strong there.

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

And by the time it gets to us, it's exhausted and weak.

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

What if...

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

There's an alien living.

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

You have to do it.

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

An alien living out there in the bulk.
