The universe isn't made of what you think it is. From the "catastrophe" that birthed quantum mechanics to the invisible field that gives you weight, we are living in a reality defined by things we cannot see. If you’ve ever wondered why matter exists at all, this conversation reveals the "Aha!" moment that changed physics forever.

We explore the transition from classical physics to the quantum world, triggered by a mathematical error that threatened to "blow up" our understanding of energy. Brian Greene explains why Max Planck was terrified of his own discovery and how Albert Einstein eventually turned a mathematical trick into the foundation of modern technology.

The discussion then moves to the multi-billion dollar hunt for the Higgs Boson at CERN. You will learn how the Higgs Field acts as a cosmic "molasses" that endows particles with mass, and why the discovery of the "God Particle" was actually a decades-long drama involving international politics and the collapse of American super-science.
