Lex Fridman talks to Lisa Randall about Dark Matter

#1
Yazata Offline
It's about an hour long, mostly about her book 'Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs' in which she speculates that dark matter might occasionally gravitationally destabilize the Oort cloud and send objects into the inner solar system. (She admits its just a speculation, but it's a good hook for a popular book.)

She talks for about 20 minutes about dark matter, for about ten minutes about extinction events, for about 15 minutes about particle physics and for the final 15 minutes about physics and mathematics.

Lisa is a theoretical physicist at Harvard. Lex is an AI guy at MIT. Lex is a good interviewer and he always has very interesting people on his show. You should hear Lex and Elon going on about the deep dark technical details about Tesla's neural network AI.
