David Kaplan lecture on Particles and the Nature of Nothing

[DennisN]

I just saw this public lecture and I really enjoyed it (the lecture begins at about 18 minutes into the video). He is an engaging and rather funny speaker. At the end there is a Q&A in which he for instance goes into some of the misconceptions about quantum mechanics.
David Kaplan is also one of the coproducers of the documentary Particle Fever, which I also very much enjoyed.
