[SciShow] An Ancient Roman Shipwreck May Explain the Universe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0A9M5wHBA4A 31 minute SciShow video on how lead ingots which were recovered from a Roman shipwreck enabled the CUORE experiment's search for neutrinoless double beta decay, and the challenges of ethically sourcing "low background material".
Has anyone set aside lead (and other materials) as a stockpile of low background material for future generations of physicists? Seems like something The Long Now Foundation might do.
