| 0:00.0 | There are some things you should always check, like the hygiene rating on your local takeaway, |
| 0:06.2 | the setting on your razor, and whether the party actually is fancy dress. |
| 0:11.1 | The other thing you should check is your Experian credit report, especially if you're looking to borrow money. |
| 0:17.2 | It lets you understand what lenders see, so you can increase your chances of getting the best deals. |
| 0:22.8 | It's dead easy to check it and completely free. |

| 0:36.9 | So what type of physics do you do? |
| 0:40.1 | Well, so my mainstream effort is the search for dark matter. |
| 0:43.7 | Okay. |
| 0:44.1 | So I work on the LZ dark matter experiment, which is deployed underground in South Dakota. |
| 0:48.9 | It's the world's largest and best dark matter experiment. |
| 0:52.3 | So I'm an astroparticle physicist. Okay. Can you explain what that dark matter experiment. So I'm an astro-particle physicist. |
| 0:55.0 | Okay, can you explain what that dark matter experiment is and how it works? |
| 0:59.0 | Sure. So I should probably start by explaining what dark matter itself is. So it's a hypothetical |
| 1:04.0 | form of matter that we are very, very sure exists because we have indirect evidence, |
| 1:09.0 | observational evidence from astronomy, astrophysics, |
| 1:12.0 | and cosmology, primarily through gravity. So we know there's more matter than we can see, |
| 1:17.1 | and we know it's not made of the same particles, constituents as ordinary matter. And so one of the |
| 1:23.9 | ways to look for dark matter is you actually make you create particle detectors you deploy |
| 1:29.5 | them deep underground because the idea is dark matter would pass through the earth unimpeded |
| 1:34.0 | like neutrinos and similar particles and interact with your detector so in the lZ detector we use a |
| 1:39.8 | gigantic bucket basically or it's a thermos, actually. |
