Episode #178 -- Top Quark Discovered
Update: 2015-03-02
Description
Monday, March 2, 2015. Twenty years ago today, scientists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced the discovery of the top quark, the last of the six quarks predicted by current atomic theory. I talk a little about the top quark, about my own love of science through my life, and how I ended up, quite unexpectedly, with a career in science and technology.
If you would like your very own plushie top quark like the one shown here, you can get them from The Particle Zoo.
I also have one more shout out for the Past Daily website. They're in the last hours of a fundraiser on which the very existence of the site depends. Please check it out and support the site if you can.
