Andrew Long on Early Universe Cosmology
Episode 12
Monday, 1 June, 2026

Have you ever wondered what the universe was like in its very first moments? Why did matter win over antimatter? What is dark matter made of? What is dark energy? And could the answers to these questions change the way we understand particle physics itself?Well, in today’s episode, we talk to Prof. Andrew J. Long of Rice University about all of this fascinating stuff. Andrew is a theoretical physicist working at the intersection of particle physics and cosmology. His research explores some of the biggest open questions in fundamental physics, including early-universe cosmology, baryogenesis, dark matter, neutrinos, and physics beyond the Standard Model.If you’re interested in understanding why the universe exists the way it does, you’re in for a treat. So, let’s go.Andrew's Website: https://al72.blogs.rice.edu/
