That must have been some kind of happiness he shared with his wife.
Great vid, Life goes on but there will always be a sadness.
Grandma took me with her to visit her old friend. Friend began sobbing over husband who had died a year or so prior As a child, I couldn’t understand why she had not gotten over it. Became clear as I got older, and more so every year.
The Nobel prize in physics goes to the experimentalist, Francis Halzen, who led a team to implement the ice cube neutrino detector.
The 2026 prize was awarded to Francis Halzen “for decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin.”
Halzen’s path toward becoming a Nobel Laureate began when he realized that the ice of the South Pole would be ideal for tracking particles as they pass through Earth on their journeys from powerful cosmic sources. This led to the development of IceCube, a 0.62 cubic mile (1 kilometer) cube of ice equipped with light sensors to observe tiny flashes of light caused by the rare interaction of neutrinos with other particles.
Space.com explains why the detection of neutrinos is so important to our understanding of the universe.
Neutrinos are the second-most prevalent particles in the entire universe besides photons,particles of light. Yet, despite their ubiquitous nature, neutrinos earn their spooky nickname of “ghost particles.” That’s because around approximately 100 trillion neutrinos pass through your body every single second without you ever noticing a thing. In fact, during your lifetime, if you are lucky, only one neutrino that passes through you may interact with an atom in your body.
This ghostly nature to phase through matter arises from the fact that neutrinos are completely chargeless, virtually massless, and race through the cosmos at near the speed of light, unimpeded. As you may imagine, that makes them incredibly difficult to detect.
I brushed up on my neutrino knowledge when the prize was announced. Fun thought: Dividing the electron’s mass by this upper limit shows that a neutrino is at least 1.1 million times lighter than an electron. Atoms are small. The electron makes up just 0.0544% of the mass of a hydrogen atom. Yet you’d need to pack one million neutrinos together just to get the mass of an electron. Mind blown.
I could have been the one being interviewed. My happiness now is caring for our two Cats. They give me comfort.

Yet there are so many neutrinos in the universe that they add up to a very substantial total mass, enough that it it has to be taken into account when analyzing cosmology at the grandest scales.
In case anyone other than me is confused by AD’s remark —
The Tories ARE the Conservative Party in Britain.
Farage is a different party altogether: Reform UK.
Wikipedia: “It is to the right of the Conservative Party. Nigel Farage has been leader of Reform UK since June 2024.”
The young man said “hurty words” about “the leader of the Conservative Party on the Wolverhampton City Council, Simon Bennett, who has admitted referring the boy to the police over the posts.”
Nothing says “democracy” like using the constabulary, over which you have authority, as your private Stasi agents.

Britain’s wanker coppers do the FBI under the AutoPen regime one better. You’ll also notice the youth in question was arrested after a complaint by a local Conservative Party politician.
