And on Google, we can have some copies of the book for you to take home, if you're interested by what he has to say. Anil and I worked together as software engineers more than 20 years ago in Berkeley.And we've been in touch, but not nearly enough.
His writing has also appeared in "National Geographic News," "Discover Magazine," "The Independent," and the "Times Online" in the UK. Anil was a guest columnist for PBS's "Nova" on their "The Nature of Reality" blog.He has a master of science from the University of Washington at Seattle, a bachelor's from the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras.
He's in good company today. Anil win the UK Institute of Physics, Physics Journalism Award, and the British Association of Science Writers Award for Best Investigative Journalism.His first book titled, "The Edge of Physics: A Journey to Earth's Extremes to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe," was voted Book of the Year in 2010 by "Physics World."
at relating physics to -- to the rest of us basically. Umm, prior to moving to London, Anil lived in Berkeley. So Anil , welcome back to San Francisco. Anil : Hi, everyone. Can you hear me clearly?Umm, it's a double pleasure for me to be here in, uh, the Bay Area. As Jesse said, I used to live here and work as a software engineer so, uh, about ten years
gone, that means the cracks have opened up long -- large enough that there is no sound anymore, that's when you need to get out of here. So suddenly, uh -- Anil : So suddenly the sounds were like a lullaby.I actually slept very peacefully. So anyway, this was an amazing experiment.
Umm, the next one -- the next one in the line is called the "Extremely Large Telescope". Anil : And apparently there's one more in the works which is going to be called the "Overwhelmingly Large Telescope" so, uh Anil : But reason I went to Chile is because, uh, the Atacama -- this is flyinginto Santiago, the Andes in the background, from there to a town called Antofagasta and then two-hour drive to, uh, into the Atacama Desert, a pretty
uh, Antarctica a little bit. Jesse: Sure. Anil : So people -- just a quick run through. Jesse: Sounds good.Anil : So one of the most extreme places I went to was Antarctica. This is flying from New Zealand to, umm, to McMurdo station in Antarctica, the U.S.
Anil : So people -- just a quick run through. Jesse: Sounds good.Anil : So one of the most extreme places I went to was Antarctica. This is flying from New Zealand to, umm, to McMurdo station in Antarctica, the U.S.base. This is the first sighting of the Antarctic -- the southern ocean of Antarctica and the ice flows. This is landing in Antarctica. Uh, that's the
200 feet thick. It's about the size of France and, uh, that is summer. Anil : And, uh, we're -- we were taken on a bus to the station and the bus was called Ivan the Terebus. Very nice bus. And,uh, you -- this is just a view from the American, uh, base. Those are the Trans-Antarctic mountains in the back and in the foreground you can see a hut.
much how the setup looks. And when the helium has been filled they release the balloon and it just takes off. Takes about five hours to get to the upper Anil : Depends. Uh, different agencies like the South Pole stuff gets funded by the NSF mostly. Uh, in fact most of the science in the South Pole is funded by

make everyone have a daughter to like arrive at this conclusion, so like, what else can we do to convince like a number of guys Have you met Anil Dash?
If you start looking at-- looking up to such people, they are your true mentors. And then the way Anil was bowling that he was looking as if he was going to get wicket every ball.
If you start looking at-- looking up to such people, they are your true mentors. I was teaching Anil how to bat.
focusing on diversity inclusion and social justice she was at Business Insider uh before that uh we also have Anil D Dash who's a quite a thinker on a lot of uh uh Tech issues especially in terms of how Tech can be more uh Humane uh and inclusive he's an entrepreneur he's a technologist I believe he's recently become a CEO of a
"The Edge of Physics." He is a consultant -- or was a consulting editor -- still is -- for "New Science Magazine" in London, umm, he was a computer scientist I believe for -- Anil : Software Engineer. Jesse: Software Engineer for about ten years, uh, he's contributed to "National Geographic News". Very, very well educated in the field but also extremely good
And to our Googlers tuning in around the world, good day to you as well. I have the privilege today of introducing Anil Ananthaswamy. He's a consultant for "New Scientist Magazine," where he has also worked as a staff writer and deputy news editor.
Dubin had little money for advertising, so he started thinking about making a video to post online. He wrote a script and called Lucia Anillelo, a friend from improv acting classes in New York, who was now a director in Los Angeles. At 7:30 on a Saturday morning in October 2011, Dubin and a couple of friends he asked to play parts gathered in a warehouse on a drab industrial strip in Gardena
All this is delivered deadpan with a straight face. The line was suggested by Anillelo as they tried to come up with something that would grab the viewer. She later recalled to a reporter, I remember Mike's face when I first said that line.
And he has had such a exciting career that went to the edge of physics, one of his other books. And yes, please welcome Anil for his presenting his latest book that's just out. So thank you, for that introduction.
I worked with him in many movies. Then Shah Rukh Khan, Anil Kapoor. And I work with everyone-- Salman Khan, Akshay.

If you start looking at-- looking up to such people, they are your true mentors. All right. So how did Anil Kumble get the name Jumbo?
there are waves and -- and the ice is constantly heaving and it's very, very frightening apparently and as if that wasn't enough he also told me, well, and there are earthquakes out here. >> Anil : And, uh, so by then I was not ready to go. I -- I really was getting frightened and I didn't want to go and sleep on the ice. But a lot of things had been set in motion by then and some -- some person had given up his bed and

Price, quality, convenience. And the video had to be irreverent and make viewers laugh so they would share it with friends. The script initially ran about four pages, but Anillelo helped cut it in half. It actually runs like one minute and 31 or 33 seconds.
And he also delivered a popular TED talk in 2010 titled "What it Takes to do Extreme Astrophysics." Today, he's here to talk about his latest book, "The Man Who Wasn't There: Investigations Into the Strange New Science of the Self." Please join me in welcoming Anil to the podium. Sajit, and thank you, everyone.

So I've put some pictures. I was asked that very thing many times so I ended up putting, uh, pictures on a web
Hello. Thank you all for coming. This is going to be a talk by my friend, the journalist and science writer, Anil . Please silence your phones.
If you start looking at-- looking up to such people, they are your true mentors. And, last but not least, a good friend of yours, Anil Kumble.
If you start looking at-- looking up to such people, they are your true mentors. One of my fondest memories, and I know some other people share this opinion as well of your career, is of your batting with Anil Kumble
Jesse: All right. Thanks, everyone, for joining us for another live in San Francisco Authors@Google talk. Today we have Anil Ananthaswamy talking about "The Edge of Physics." He is a consultant -- or was a consulting editor -- still is -- for "New Science Magazine" in London, umm, he was a computer
Jesse: Software Engineer for about ten years, uh, he's contributed to "National Geographic News". Very, very well educated in the field but also extremely good at relating physics to -- to the rest of us basically. Umm, prior to moving to London, Anil lived in Berkeley. So Anil , welcome back to San Francisco. Anil : Hi, everyone. Can you hear me clearly?
much how the setup looks. And when the helium has been filled they release the balloon and it just takes off. Takes about five hours to get to the upper and executing the experiment as they are about -- about eventually finding success in order to keep themselves going. Anil : Yep.
much how the setup looks. And when the helium has been filled they release the balloon and it just takes off. Takes about five hours to get to the upper unified physics? Or did they tend to just sort of compartmentalize themselves to their own spheres of study? Anil : They -- they tend to do both. Depending
