Supersymmetric Particle Found?

Season 4 Episode 45 | 12m 07s

With the large hadron collider running out of places to look for clues to a deeper theory of physics, we need a bigger particle accelerator. We have one - the galaxy.

Extras
The 2026 Nobel in Physics went to Dr. Halzen for turning Antarctica into a neutrino telescope.
Can adding every positive whole number really give you -1/12?
Gigantic black holes existed in a cosmic eyeblink after the Big Bang. That should be impossible.
It’s believed empty space can be crystalized and we may have observed this for the first time.
A decade later, a leading theory may finally explain Tabby’s Star, the galaxy’s weirdest star.
LIGO may have found an impossible black hole, hinting at primordial relics from the Big Bang.
DESI and DES studied dark energy. Together, what can they tell us?
Could sending a quantum twin across the galaxy make you both old and young at the same time?
It's possible that an event horizon is forming right behind and you won't know until its too late.
Are there no alien signals to find... or do we need to update how we search for them?
