For this episode, particle physicist Harry Cliff takes us on a deep dive into some of the universe's most perplexing scientific mysteries. His recent book, Space Oddities, draws on many findings found during his work at the University of Cambridge. Why are stars flying away from us faster than anyone can explain? What are the source of mysterious particles found to hold huge amounts of energy trapped beneath Antarctic ice? What really goes on at the CERN Large Hadron Collider? – another place where Cliff does much of his work. Joining him in conversation for this episode is Alex Wilkins, reporter for New Scientist.

  • Coming up, a dive into some of the universe's most perplexing scientific mysteries.

  • Particle physicist Harry Cliff is here to discuss his book space oddities.

  • Harrys Day Job is as a physicist at the University of Cambridge.

  • He's joined in conversation for this episode by Alex Wilkins, reporter for the New Scientist.

  • My guest on the podcast today is Harry Cliff, a physicist, author, and sometimes comedian, whose new book asserts that there's something very strange going on in the cosmos.

  • It's called space Oddities.

  • David Bowie's lawyers have not yet been in touch, but the book contains a similar wide eyed sense of magic, awe and wonder at what's going on all around us that hopefully the late artists might approve of.

  • Harry is focusing on a catalogue of, quite frankly, weird phenomena that at the present moment just can't be explained and that challenges our long established understandings of how the universe works.
