#403 โ€“ Lisa Randall: Dark Matter, Theoretical Physics, and Extinction Events

So I'd say for humanity, it's both a tribute to the ability of discovery and the ability of really believing in things so they have the confidence to go look for them. But it's also a cautionary tale that you don't want to, you know, assume things before they've been actually found.

So you want to do things in, you know, you want to believe in your theories, but you also want to question them at the same time in ways that you're more likely to discover the truth.

I'm really glad you said that though, too, because that's absolutely true. I mean, it really is an impressive, it's impressive in so many ways. It's impressive technologically, it's impressive at an engineering level. It's also impressive that so many countries work together to do this.

It wasn't just one country and how it was also impressive in that it was a long-term project that people committed to and made it happen. So it is a demonstration that when people set their minds to things and they commit to it, that they can do something amazing.

Bureaucracy and politics. Politics. And economics. Many things can make them faster and make them slower.

Well, I don't want to overstate that because without politics, the LHC wouldn't happen either. You need broccoli. But sometimes I do think, I mean, you're not asking this question, but sometimes I do think when I think about some of these conflicts, you know, sometimes it's just good to have a project that people work on together.

And there were some efforts to do that in science too, to have Palestinians and Israelis work together, a project called Sesame. I think it's not a bad idea when you can do that, when you can get, you know, sort of forget the politics and just focus on some particular project, sometimes that can work.
