Art McDonald - Exploring the Universe from the Inside, Out!

Physics is everywhere—even if you haven’t thought about it since high school! In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Art McDonald, a professor of astrophysics at Queen’s University and winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2015.

For forty years, Dr. McDonald and his team focused their research on neutrinos—tiny, elusive particles that help us understand the fundamental workings of the universe. Their research took place two kilometers underground in a nickel mine in Sudbury, and we’ll take you there to uncover the story behind it.

Join us for a fascinating conversation that sheds light on the mysteries of physics, space, and the unseen forces shaping our world.
