Daniel is a professor of physics at UC Irvine, researching particle physics at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. He is the co-host of the podcast 'Daniel and Kelly's Extraordinary Universe' and the author of several books about physics for a general audience, including "Do Aliens Speak Physics?" And "We have no idea".

In today's episode, Daniel explores many questions, including:

  • Would we recognize an alien message if we received one?

  • If aliens landed in Central Park, would we be able to communicate?

  • How can we catch a baseball if we ignore all the interactions at the quantum level?

  • Why is even our best physics only an approximation?
