According to Fermilab's Bonnie Flemming, the pursuit of scientific understanding is ādaunting in an inspiring way.ā What makes it daunting? The seemingly infinite number of questions, with their potentially inaccessible answers.
In this episode of Dispatches from The Well, host Kmele Foster tours the grounds of Americaās legendary particle accelerator to discover how exploring the mysteries at the heart of particle physics help us better understand some of the most profound mysteries of our universe.

I'm so damaged. I generally don't leave my house. A series of calamities has stolen my zest for life. I'm a broken man, both figuratively and litteraly. But if I lived anywhere near Fermi lab even I would leave the house every day! Even if to just hang out in the cafeteria like a fly on the wall! I love physics! Especially partical physics!!! Unfortunately, I'm a simpleton. But I don't care! I still love it!
Wishing Fermi or cern were here in Florida! Or citrus county had a decent school...

Clicked on video to know about atoms and quantum, didn't expect to be blasted in face with placenta talk

Dr Don is my favorite from Fermi lab. My doctor here in Florida worked there and went to Italy to build the borexino detector. We always have the best chats about reality and the big questions still facing physics and cosmology.

This is everything for me. Wonderful journalism and story telling. Connected with me on every level. I loved the basis of a physics based question started with the thoughts of a dad and his daughterās questions.

It was a great video! Good host with interesting questions. He feels authentic. Also, great camera work and editing. Watched it like a movie. Thank you!

18:40 Doga KĆ¼rkcĆ¼oglu really has all his attribute points in mathematics, and none in philosophy š. I know people like this. I'm glad this was left in, because I'm sure a lot of people like KĆ¼rkcĆ¼oglu are pioneers of theory and engineering. There could have been a language barrier situation happening here as well

Great video on the type of stuff I ponder over all the time. It's incredible that so much money and effort goes into figuring this stuff out (though, I imagine most of the money comes from weapons or computing applications). Really enjoyed Kmele as host for his personality and thoughtfulness

i am studying physics right now and videos like this keep my motivation high. inredible job kmele

"the important thing is to think of the right question." love this point.

Forgot his name but the maths guy who came up with assembly theory says that if the universe is fundamentally information then this right here right now is the biggest longest place we know of in relation to how it would look on a field of information. The connections and information created by life and then consciousness multiplex they're synergistic, exponential in there connection building, the growth of novelty if life is only here then the majority of the complex chemistry that exists is here right now and for all we can tell it could all turn to a lava milkshake again* if perturbed by the passing of a small planet or such. So it's probably good to appreciate how small the universe is but also from a scientific perspective imperically how far can our creative ego stretch, what's possible and countable.

Kmele is an excellent host.

Scientists solve philosophical questions. Philosophers are great at asking questions and formulating it in the best form. Science have a method for resolving debates that some people would prefer to just keep talking about

So beautifully simple, and in this simplicity therein lies the sophistication! Bravissimo!!šš¾šš¾šš¾

Science, or better said, questioning, is one of the only thing that will make us humble enough to be able to solve our problems instead of keep destroying ourselves and everyone around us.

Pay attention to Donās skeptical scientific approach this is the key for evolution in science I can pretty much relate with this kind approach

Finding meaning is difficult. Somehow there's layers you need to analyze to be able to piecer everything out and form a big picture. The world is unique for its shape and density and overall width. It carries the most important and vital essentials that all humans need to have in their respective lifetimes.

For clarification it should be "Fermilab is attempting to describe reality that we perceive." Including the perception of the results of Fermilab. Unfortunately we don't perceive much.

29:00 Correct, a tiny spec as we realize the magnitude of the Universe. But also, an intelligent tiny spec that is seeking to be conscious of its own nature, and may contain said Universe itself. A tiny spec that matters so much.

I love this series so very much! Iām very grateful for the awe I experienced watching this

We are the universe experiencing itself. We are in it, and we are made of stardust. We are not made of anything outside of the universe. We are the consciousness of the cosmos.
