Speaker: Dr. Don Lincoln, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

 

Title: The Film Scanning and Re-Analysis Project at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

​

Abstract: Einstein was not a guy who concerned himself with details; instead he simply wanted to know the big picture.  Simply put, minutia bored him.  Rather than focusing on any specific phenomenon, he imagined that there might be a single “theory of everything,” from which all familiar phenomena originate.  In a poetic moment, he called this theory of everything “God’s Thoughts” as a metaphor for the reason things are the way they are.  In this talk, Fermilab scientist Dr. Don Lincoln will talk about the quest to find a theory of everything and will describe in practical terms what it will take to get there.

​

Speaker’s Dr. Don Lincoln is a Fermilab scientist and science popularizer.  He is coauthor of over 1,700 scientific papers and was a member of the teams that discovered the top quark and the Higgs boson.  He has also authored several books about physics aimed at a general audience and he hosts the Fermilab YouTube channel, where he has made over 200 videos on topics ranging from the quarks to the cosmos.  He draws much of his talk from his most recent book “Einstein’s Unfinished Dream.”
