Chasing Ghosts and the Creation of the Universe
They are all around us in every nook and cranny. Trillions upon trillions inside and out of every planet, star, galaxy as well as the space in between. Billions pass through you every single second; night and day. But despite the phenomenal numbers it was not until 1953 that conclusive evidence came of the existence of the most abundant known thing in Nature – Neutrinos.
Since then scientists have devoted their lives to chasing these ghosts of Nature. Despite it’s meagre size the tiny Neutrino has had profound effect upon our Universe and may hold the answer to one of the greatest questions of all time; the Creation of the Universe.
Join Dr Ben Still (Queen Mary, University of London) as he talks about the Neutrino, the people who chased its illusive presence and the secrets it may hold.
