The Higgs Boson and Beyond
The Higgs Boson and Beyond | Sean Carroll, Teaching Company, David T. Kung
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
"Understanding the connections between music and mathematics helps you appreciate both, even if you have no special ability in either field--from knowing the mathematics behind tuning an instrument to understanding the features that define your favorite pieces. By exploring the mathematics of music, you also learn why non-Western music sounds so different, gain insight into the technology of modern sound reproduction, and start to hear the world around you in exciting new ways"--Site Web de l'éditeur.

Amazing! Besides the special focus on the Higgs boson, it's a gentle introduction to particle physics (as far as the definition of gentleness goes). The lecture also tackles things like particles that aren't particles, particles with negative mass, zombie cats, and other mundane topics. it's also great if you want to know more about quantum physics and show off the feat to your friends, but don't feel like delving into these strange waters.
