Thank you Maria Spiropulu for this fascinating presentation incorporating the Higgs bosons particles in the in future direction of particles physics and condensed phases in the and symmetry issues ahead.

This was awesome. I got blasted, much of it beyond my understanding, but came out of it knowing a lot more than before. I can tell this guy really knows his field, and is excited about it.

Thank you for a great lecture, you are wonderful teacher. It’s amazing how physics of gravitational wave is expanding our horizon to understand the universe.

Pre-CMB stuff is gonna be awesome to know. Are we collapsing the wave by measuring it?

Just a small spark distorts space to me, even light gets distorted by light.

I didn't know Einstein's wrote a paper in 2016.

He's not a very good speaker, he sounds doddering, mentioning important things almost as an afterthought at times, and his voice quavers sometimes, distracting.

I zone out when a speaker is good. This keeps me on my feet

He's made numerous errors as well. With regards to describing the calculation of the ratio of gravitation to mass. Also he referred to Einstein's 1916 paper as 'the 2016 paper'... Twice...

Who cares? Its good data and hes not THAT bad.

And hes talking without a script. Only prompted by the slides

@@RickBoat true enough, the data checks out. Those who care enough to pick apart little mistakes would likely be taking those mistakes out of context. I'd give him a B or C for effort.
