Bio

Arttu Rajantie is a professor of theoretical physics at Imperial College London, a scientific associate at CERN, and a member of the MoEDAL-MAPP collaboration which uses the Large Hadron Collider to search for magnetic monopoles. He enjoys pushing quantum field theories of particle physics to their limits, exploring the strange and beautiful phenomena they predict under extreme conditions like strong magnetic fields or the high temperature and spacetime curvature of the early Universe. His research predicts ways to observe them through cosmology or experiments.

Scientists inside a science base in the Moon conduct a variety of humorous experiments. We see a cat chasing after a giant laser beam; a scientist being eaten by a venus fly trap, a star falling through a Christmas tree as a scientist tries and fails to put it on top, a scientist going to a 'moonshine' bar, robots attending a seminar, a scientist trapping a human brain in a forcefield, and scientists stepping through portals. In the sky above the spaceship, Santa is being abducted by aliens.
