Why is the speaker in such a rush? He seems to be under a constant time-crunch. He keeps saying he's going to go over time and that he'll speed up.
Didn't he practice this before? Can't he just tell us what he wants to tell us, and skip over the rest?
- jmcqk6 14y agoIf you're going to make an announcement that is going to be held up to the highest rigorous standards, figuring out exactly what to say is going to be a difficult issue. This presentation isn't for you, this is for the physics community.
- korussian 14y agoRight now, he's presenting general stuff that everyone in the room already knows, including him. It's just a summary of the status of the project up to now. He could have practiced this 6 months ago. Aaaand... at this very second he's starting on the new stuff, I think.
- robryan 14y agoSounds like the kind of content that is just very hard to condense into a reasonable amount of time. This seems super dense to me, but you can imagine to a physicist this is a high level overview.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoThat was simply nerves. He knew how much media attention was on him.
- mkramlich 14y agoNext time you do a major presentation on state-of-the-art high-energy physics experiments live to a world-wide community on what could be a Nobel Prize winning event, let us know and we'll watch you do it better. ;)
