About this talk

It's moments after the Big Bang and you're still reeling. You're a particle of matter, amidst a chaotic stew of forces, fusion, and annihilation. If you're lucky and avoid being destroyed by antimatter, you'll be the seed of a future galaxy. Can you ensure that you're the last particle standing? James Tanton shows how. [Directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Cem Misirlioglu].
