And what does the origin of mass in the universe have to do with music?Here today to explore these mind-bending questions is theoretical physicist Matt Strassler. Matt is known for his work in particle physics, particularly in the context of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and quantum field theory. He has been involved in research on the Higgs boson, supersymmetry, and other topics in high-energy physics. In our insightful interview, we dive into the mysteries of quantum physics, the nature of space, and how waves—not just particles—form the building blocks of reality.

Until now, it was widely believed that the Crab Nebula originated from an electron capture supernova. This type of supernova occurs when a massive star runs out of fuel in its core, leading to the collapse of the star as electrons are captured by protons, forming neutrons. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy, causing the star to explode.
