In physics class, we've been talking about the Standard Model, Quantum Field Theory, and the Higgs Boson. I found a Nova
episode that seemed to tie it all together. I didn't preview it but luckily it was pretty spot-on content-wise and the class and I were having a fun time watching it and engaging in some light banter in just how over-dramatic Nova was being and how funny some of the scenes were when, towards the end, they were interviewing Dr. S. J. Gates, Jr. on his supersymmetry ideas on the MIT campus when (for no apparent reason) they continued the interview in the iconic
MIT Chapel.
As they had Dr. Gates strumming on the abstract metal sculpture for no apparent recent, I announced to the class casually "that's where I was married". They looked at me incredulously expecting some kind of joke. I said "Seriously, no
regular church would let Irene marry
me!".
