Summary

Brian Keating (@DrBrianKeating) is a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California San Diego, host of the Into the Impossible podcast, and the author of Losing the Nobel Prize: A Story of Cosmology, Ambition, and the Perils of Science's Highest Honor. What Jordan Harbinger discusses with Brian Keating: What compelled dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel to annually reward outstanding contributions for humanity, and how would he feel about the way Nobel prizes are awarded today? What is an ethical will, and why should you make sure you have one in place sooner rather than later? How accolades like the Nobel prize and the Academy Awards have taken on outsized importance in their respective fields in spite of being selected arbitrarily by an anointed few - with sometimes deadly consequences. How Brian turned around surface losses like getting fired from an academic dream job and missing his shot at the Nobel prize from disasters into catalysts of great happiness. How you can have a chance at winning a fragment of the 4.3-billion-year-old supernova that created Earth and the hemoglobin in your blood! And much more...

0:00.0	Since I was a young kid, I had two really overarching desires. One was to understand the universe as much as I could before I left this mortal coil and to win a
0:15.8	Nobel Prize and they kind of intersected in this experiment called Bicep that I invented along
0:21.4	with some collaborators at Caltech and elsewhere and that we eventually
0:24.4	took down to the very bottom of the world to the South Pole Antarctica where it observed for many
0:29.2	years and finally did discover the very thing I wanted to discover or so he thought and that was the birth pangs of the big bang and you can think of the big bang as this explosive expansion if you like
