Stripping down science, the naked scientists.

The Naked Scientists. Hello, it's Sunday the 20th of March. Welcome to the Naked Scientist with me, Ben Valsler.

And today I am joined by Dominic Ford.

Hi Dominic, hello.

This week we're looking beyond the confines of our universe to explore the ideas of

multiverse's string theory and physics at the subatomic scale. Chris Lester will be

joining us in the studio to explain what we can learn from the LHC,

and Brian Green introduces us to the idea of parallel universes.

A lot of research from a variety of different directions over the last few decades have suggested

that what we long thought to be everything may not be everything it may be a

piece of a larger hole that larger hole may contain other universes and that's where we come to the idea of multiple

universe.

Plus we'll hear from Mere and Dave who've been to the Diamond Synchrot to find out about the engineering

of an electron accelerator.

And in the news how quartz makes mountain ranges, messenger goes into orbit around mercury and

why birds can't help but to fly into man-made objects. So if you have any questions for us, tweet

at naked scientists, post on our wall at the naked scientist.com

slash Facebook or drop us an email. Our email address is Chris at the Naked Scientists Scientists Podcast is powered by UK Fast, the UK's best hosting provider on the web at UKfast.co. UK.

This is the naked scientists with me Ben Valzler and with Dominic Ford and first up

let's take a look at some of this week's biggest scientific breakthroughs.

The mineral quartz might hold the key biggest scientific breakthroughs.

The mineral quarts might hold the key to why continental plates consistently deform in
