The birth, life and death of the universe – Public lecture by Dr. Don Lincoln

Perhaps the grandest questions of all – ones that have fascinated people for millennia – are the questions of how the universe came to be, how it has evolved, and how it will end. While modern science does not have all the answers, the scientific community has discovered many facts that allow us to understand much of this story. In this public lecture, presented on Dec. 9, 2022, Fermilab scientist Dr. Don Lincoln explains what we know—and what we don’t know—about these ageless questions. Lincoln is a senior scientist at Fermilab and was a member of the teams that discovered the top quark in 1995 and the Higgs boson in 2012. He is a recipient of the 2013 Outreach Prize from the European Physical Society and the 2017 Gemant Award from the American Institute of Physics. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Here is the list of all Don Lincoln videos available on the Fermilab YouTube channel:
