In a rebroadcast from April 10, 2011, Keith & Russ talk with Johann Rafelski, Professor of Physics at the University of Arizona. Rafelski talks about his astoundingly early interest in physics, which led him to his current field - studying high energy laser physics. Lasers can be used to not only disintegrate atoms into pieces, but to accelerate elementary particles. Rafelski also explains how high intensity lasers can be used to create matter out of nothing. http://www.physics.arizona.edu/~rafelski/
