I make chilled-out "info-tainment" videos on all-things space related, from the moment of the Big Bang to the end of the universe itself- and everything in between. No AI, written, recorded and produced by a real human. New episodes every Sunday!
In 2012, the world’s most advanced science experiment uncovered the signature of the Higgs Boson, the so-called “God Particle” which gives particles their masses. The Higgs was the last of the Standard Model's particles to be verified experimentally. But far from closing the case, it instead opened a new frontier in physics that today embodies everything we still don’t know about nature’s smallest scales. And so in this video, we will wind back the clock more than half a century, to unravel the history and mysteries of the elusive Higgs Boson.

What Does it All Mean?
Why does the universe choose life over silence? Why has its once inanimate matter and energy come alive on planet Earth? Is it chance? Fate? Or even, by design? It is this profound question that has plagued our conscious minds since the time of our earliest ancestors, and it is going to be the topic of our video today.
This video is my oldest idea, and I was planning for it as early as 2021. A massive thank you to the artist Semiquaver for composing the soundtrack that brought this vision to life.
SOUNDTRACK:
The soundtrack for this video was crafted by Semiquaver, an ambient music and soundscape artist who I'd been following for a while, and knew he was perfect for the job.
His channel can be found here: @semiquaver16th (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCgnLSszuaZcuUdCr86S2QCQ) , where he regularly releases new soundscapes and compositions.
The full, 37 minute track will be available to listen to here: https://youtu.be/WQQhwggE6Bo

How Time Works in Space
Can we ever turn back the clock? On Earth, Time is rigid and immovable, but in space, it's practically the opposite. Out in the cosmos, time is another dimension alongside the three of space- but unlike in 3D space, there is only one way we seem to be able to move through time. The cause of this directionality, and so-called "Arrow of Time" through the cosmos, makes up the topic of our video today- the second part in a double header on the mysterious workings of Time.
SOUNDTRACK:
The first and last tracks in this video were composed by Semiquaver, an ambient soundscape music artist. He and I will be working on an original piece specially for the soundtrack to my final video of the year, so go and check him out before then: @semiquaver16th (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCgnLSszuaZcuUdCr86S2QCQ)
The other tracks were composed by CO.AG Music, my go-to-guy for such high quality pieces: @co.agmusic (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCcavSftXHgxLBWwLDm_bNvA)
