StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

That's right.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

And we're doing chapters three, four, and five.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

And I got their titles written here.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

How did the universe get to be this way?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

How old is the universe?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

What's the universe made of?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

And Chuck, you've been collecting questions.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

Let me just lead off.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

Jana, I've heard people say the universe is designed just for us, okay, just so that we can have life.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

But that seems really inefficient if life as we care about it, human life, has been around only for a couple hundred thousand years, and the universe has been around for 14 billion.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

That just seems really inefficient.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

So if you want to say, you know, everything's set up for us,

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

That's a pretty big waste of time and space.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

The plastic will survive us.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

Because there's no known thing that dissolves plastic, right?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

So Chuck, give me some questions, dude.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

Yeah, Jana, is there another particle that people think is out there and now we need something bigger than the Large Hadron Collider to find it?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

Did you say Hicks particle or Higgs particle?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

Higgs.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Origins of the Universe, with Janna Levin

Oh, I never thought of it that way.
