    Episode 70: Muon, science cat, muon

    enJanuary 16, 2017

    About this Episode

    Muons are very small fundamental particles that are much heavier than they should be. 

    they fall apart pretty quickly, but they rain down on us. It's magical.

    Today's physicists are Ryan Martin, the particle physicist; and Diana Cowern, host of the "Physics Girl" youtube channel.

     

    Our Guest this time is Sarah Gailey, the author!
