What happened before the Big Bang? CERN's head of theoretical physics Gian Giudice has a hunch
We love to hear from you. Send us your thought, comments, suggestions, love letters
Guest: Gian Giudice, Head of Theoretical Physics at CERN
The Cosmic Scoop:
In this mind-bending episode, we dive into the deepest mysteries of our universe with Dr. Gian Giudice, Head of Theoretical Physics at CERN. Dr. Giudice takes us on a journey beyond the Big Bang, exploring the cutting-edge theories that attempt to explain the very origins of space and time. We discuss the interplay between quantum mechanics and general relativity, the nature of dark energy and dark matter, and the profound implications these cosmic insights have on our understanding of reality. Dr. Giudice shares his personal perspective on how studying the universe's birth shapes our view of existence and the role of humanity in this vast cosmic tapestry.
Quotable Insights:
- "Mathematics is hardwired in nature. We don't invent it, we discover it."
- "The Big Bang was not an explosion of a point, but rather a phase transition that happened uniformly, modifying the properties of space."
- "When you look at the sky, the pattern of galaxies is telling you about the quantum fluctuations that occurred before the Big Bang."
- "Studying physics has not eliminated my interest in spiritual meaning. Many physicists approach this in a very individual way."

Music for the Cosmic Journey:
For the "Playlist for the Aspiring Space Traveler": Gian Giudice recommends Verdi's Requiem. He describes it as "extremely live music" that pushes boundaries, challenging the traditional notion of a requiem with its powerful and energetic composition.
