0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co. |
0:22.7 | J-P. That's Y-A-K-U-L-T dot CO.J-P. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.5 | This is Scientific Americans' 60-second science. I'm Steve Merski. |
0:39.2 | Murray Galman was one of the great physicists of the 20th century. |
0:44.3 | Historian of physics, Graham Farmelow. Nobel laureate Galman died May 24th. He was 89. |
0:51.3 | I spoke with Farmelow May 30th at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, the |
0:55.9 | morning after a symposium related to his latest book, The Universe Speaks in Numbers, |
1:00.9 | how modern math reveals nature's deepest secrets. Galman appears in Farmelow's book. |
1:07.7 | More, I think, than anybody else in the 1950s and 60s, he helped to take us |
1:14.4 | we human beings deep into the heart of atomic nuclei, the core of atoms, and help us |
1:20.0 | understanding the bewildering variety of those sub-nuclear particles. It looked like a complete mess, |
1:27.3 | but with Gellman's physical intuition, |
1:30.1 | his mathematics, his sure-footedness, he enabled us to organise our understanding of those |
1:37.4 | particles. And it was that that led him and another colleague, George Weig, to identify the quark, which is a particle that is a |
1:48.0 | constituent of these strongly interacting particles, like the proton and neutron. So he was a really |
1:53.9 | big figure, a tremendously powerful theoretician. He liked to stay close to data as well. That's |
2:00.5 | really important. I think it |
2:02.7 | fair to say that he was pretty much unrivaled as somebody who could interpret these weird |
2:08.2 | particle tracks and what have you and somehow see the fundamental patterns of the universe |
