Was very happy that I got to talk with Harry Cliff, whose books I've immensely enjoyed and who I've wanted to talk to for years. Harry is a particle physicist at the University of Cambridge working on the LHCb experiment, a huge particle detector buried 100 metres underground at CERN near Geneva. He's a member of an international team of around 1400 physicists, engineers, and computer scientists who are using LHCb to study the basic building blocks of our universe, in search of answers to some of the biggest questions in modern physics.He also spends a big chunk of his time sharing his love of physics with the public. His latest popular science book, Space Oddities, came out in 2024. His first book, How To Make An Apple Pie From Scratch, was published in August 2021. They are beautiful works of non-fiction and I encourage everyone to check them out.
