Gazette #44 - Hadron is an awesome word

The $10 billion experiment

I had an interesting conversation on Sunday. Upon hearing that I was a physics major someone asked me if I knew enough to understand the LHC experiments. I told them that I haven't really studied the standard model yet, but we were taught that neat things happen when you smash high energy particles together.


# 43 was about bad things humans have done to each other and gotten away with under the guise of it being 'science'. It was an extremely depressing article to write, but I got a bit of praise for it.
