If you're interested in the ideas and discussions we raise here on the Origins podcast,

you might consider joining the Origins Project Foundation on their travel adventure to Iceland and Greenland,

September 19th to October 2nd, to witness the northern lights,

to see a landscape in peril due to the effects of climate change,

and discuss it with speakers like Ian McEwen, the well-known novelist,

Ray Dolan, neuroscientist, and me, Lawrence Krause.

Hello, and welcome to The Origins Podcast.

I'm your host, Lawrence Krauss.

In this episode, I'll talk to Sheldon Glashow, Nobel laureate in physics,

and a key part of what I've called the greatest story ever told so far.

For his work on unifying the weak and electromagnetic interactions,

which are two of the four fundamental forces in nature.

Shelley himself has been a leading force in particle physics over the last 50 years, making many contributions, including the proposal that new quarks existed that were discovered. During that time,

he's often served as a spokesman for the field.

Personally, he's been one of my own mentors as well as the collaborator at MIT and Harvard,

and he first told me how to tell the difference between formalism and physics.

This conversation at Shelley's home gave me the opportunity to ask about his personal experiences in physics,

which would be fascinating to anyone who wants a new perspective on how fundamental physics evolved in the last century. We talked about what got him into physics as a young man in New York City

and what it was like working with the greatest physicists of the last century.

We then move on to a discussion of the state of modern physics and the possibilities for the

future of science. Patreon subscribers can find the full video of all of our programs as soon as
