The Higgs boson
The Higgs boson - unfortunately often referred to as the "god particle" - was the final particle in the Standard Model to be discovered. It plays an important part in explaining the mass of other particles.

Did He Accurately Predict The Future Of Medicine In 1982?
The speaker is Dick Teresi speaking in 1982, a science writer and author known for his contributions to various publications, including co-founding Omni magazine in the late 1970s. Omni was a science and science fiction magazine that combined interviews, fiction, and articles on the latest trends in science, technology, and society.
Teresi had written about a variety of scientific topics over his career and one of the areas he's explored in-depth is the definition of death, especially in the context of medical and technological advancements.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
Lost Discoveries, Dick Teresi's innovative history of science, explores the unheralded scientific breakthroughs from peoples of the ancient world -- Babylonians, Egyptians, Indians, Africans, New World and Oceanic tribes, among others -- and the non-European medieval world. They left an enormous heritage in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, cosmology, physics, geology, chemistry, and technology.
The mathematical foundation of Western science is a gift from the Indians, Chinese, Arabs, Babylonians, and Maya. The ancient Egyptians developed the concept of the lowest common denominator, and they developed a fraction table that modern scholars estimate required 28,000 calculations to compile. The Babylonians developed the first written math and used a place-value number system. Our numerals, 0 through 9, were invented in ancient India; the Indians also boasted geometry, trigonometry, and a kind of calculus.
Planetary astronomy as well may have begun with the ancient Indians, who correctly identified the relative distances of the known planets from the sun, and knew the moon was nearer to the earth than the sun was. The Chinese observed, reported, dated, recorded, and interpreted eclipses between 1400 and 1200 b.c. Most of the names of our stars and constellations are Arabic. Arabs built the first observatories.
Five thousand years ago, the Sumerians said the earth was circular. In the sixth century, a Hindu astronomer taught that the daily rotation of the earth on its axis provided the rising and setting of the sun. Chinese and Arab scholars were the first to use fossils scientifically to trace earth's history.
Chinese alchemists realized that most physical substances were merely combinations of other substances, which could be mixed in different proportions. Islamic scholars are legendary for translating scientific texts of many languages into Arabic, a tradition that began with alchemical books. In the eleventh century, Avicenna of Persia divined that outward qualities of metals were of little value in classification, and he stressed internal structure, a notion anticipating Mendeleyev's periodic chart of elements.
Iron suspension bridges came from Kashmir, printing from India; papermaking was from China, Tibet, India, and Baghdad; movable type was invented by Pi Sheng in about 1041; the Quechuan Indians of Peru were the first to vulcanize rubber; Andean farmers were the first to freeze-dry potatoes. European explorers depended heavily on Indian…

Title: The Undead
Subtitle: Organ Harvesting, The Ice-Water Test, Beating Heart Cadavers - How Medicine Is Blurring the Line Between Life and Death
Author: Dick Teresi
Narrator: David Marantz
Format: Unabridged
Length: 10 hrs and 1 min
Language: English
Release date: 03-13-12
Publisher: Audible Studios
Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 35 votes
Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine
Publisher's Summary:
Important and provocative, The Undead examines why even with the tools of advanced technology, what we think of as life and death, consciousness and nonconsciousness, is not exactly clear - and how this problem has been further complicated by the business of organ harvesting.
Dick Teresi, a science writer with a dark sense of humor, manages to make this story entertaining, informative, and accessible as he shows how death determination has become more complicated than ever. Teresi introduces us to brain-death experts, hospice workers, undertakers, coma specialists and those who have recovered from coma, organ transplant surgeons and organ procurers, anesthesiologists who study pain in legally dead patients, doctors who have saved living patients from organ harvests, nurses who care for beating-heart cadavers, ICU doctors who feel subtly pressured to declare patients dead rather than save them, and many others. Much of what they have to say is shocking.
Teresi also provides a brief history of how death has been determined from the times of the ancient Egyptians and the Incas through the 21st century. And he draws on the writings and theories of celebrated scientists, doctors, and researchersJacques-Bnigne Winslow, Sherwin Nuland, Harvey Cushing, and Lynn Margulis, among othersto reveal how theories about dying and death have changed. With The Undead, Teresi makes us think twice about how the medical community decides when someone is dead.
Critic Reviews:
"Chilling, controversial, and, at times, comical commentary on physical death." (Booklist)
"Provocative." (Kirkus)
Members Reviews:
Great narrator!
Any additional comments?
After listening for a while, I found that the narrator sounds a lot like Neil Degrasse Tyson, who has a great voice! I am very picky about narrators and I loved this one. I am and always have been interested in the studies surrounding death and dying, so this was a great read/listen for me. Very interesting!
A bit sensationalist but interesting
It was an interesting topic, but the narrator / author is a bit full of himself and could have delivered the material in a less flamboyant and far more concise way. It dragged a bit throughout for the sake of telling a story. He raises questions about a lot of assumptions surrounding death that we take for granted, which I think is a real value of this book. However, there is a level of paranoia and reactionary response to many aspects of modern medicine that I think seemed much more characteristic of sensationalist journalism than objective science. You'll certainly have your eyes opened, but I would caution any one from completely drinking the kool aid and throwing out their organ donor status based on his perspective alone.
You have to be dead to finish this book..
I will admit that every now and then you get a dud on here and this is a case in point. The subject matter was interesting but the delivery wasn't. Otherwise it was a good listen
Interesting topic made very boring
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
It was difficult to tell where one chapter began and another left off, mostly because of the writing style. Perhaps more chapters that were shorted in length could have helped though.
Would you ever listen to anything by Dick Teresi again?
Probably not.

The speaker is Dick Teresi speaking in 1982, a science writer and author known for his contributions to various publications, including co-founding Omni magazine in the late 1970s. Omni was a science and science fiction magazine that combined interviews, fiction, and articles on the latest trends in science, technology, and society.
Teresi had written about a variety of scientific topics over his career and one of the areas he's explored in-depth is the definition of death, especially in the context of medical and technological advancements. His book, "The Undead: Organ Harvesting, the Ice-Water Test, Beating-Heart Cadavers—How Medicine Is Blurring the Line Between Life and Death," delves into the nuances of how we define life and death in modern medicine.
In 1982 when this TV show was presented the medical field was in the midst of rapid innovation and change.
Genetic Engineering and Therapy: The early 1980s witnessed the birth of the biotechnology industry. With the development of recombinant DNA technology, there were predictions that genetic diseases could be cured by replacing or fixing the problematic genes.
Telemedicine: The idea that doctors could diagnose and treat patients remotely using telecommunications was starting to gain traction. This has become a reality today, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Organ Transplants: Organ transplantation was still a relatively new field, and there were predictions of improvements in transplant techniques, organ preservation, and anti-rejection drugs.
HIV/AIDS: In the early 1980s, the HIV/AIDS epidemic was just beginning. There was hope (and expectation) of finding a cure or vaccine. While we've made significant progress in treating the disease, a complete cure or universally effective vaccine is still being pursued.
