Addendum Marianopolis

Addendum is back. Took a while, since we went to space. Today, we are bringing you an interview with Prof. Patrick Rogers from Mari’s Physics Department on space stuff, including planet formation, nature of the universe, and how we are going to die (probably). 

Today, Addendum is happy to bring you an interview with Daniel Whiteson, a particle physicist teaching at UC Irvine. He is the author of two books, We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe, and Frequently Asked Questions about the Universe. In this interview, we tackle the big questions: the origin of the universe, particle physics, and of course, the theory of everything.
