How I Lost the Nobel Prize and What I Learned from the Experience w/ Jordan Harbinger

Into the Impossible With Brian Keating

What’s it like to almost win and then lose the Nobel Prize?

In 2014, using the BICEP2 telescope, we believed we had caught a glimpse of the spark that ignited the universe. Millions watched our announcement live from Harvard, sparking rumors of a Nobel Prize. But were we truly seeing the cosmic prologue, or were we deceived by a galactic mirage?

I had the pleasure of discussing BICEP2's discovery, the intense scientific drama that followed, and what I learned from the whole experience with Jordan Harbinger on his show. Enjoy!
