Items related to higgs discovery: the power of empty space
Synopsis
On July 4th, 2012, one of physic's most exhilarating results was announced: a new particle- and very likely a new type of particle- had been discovered at the Large Hadron Collider, the huge particle accelerator designed to reproduce energies present in the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. The particle's existence had been speculated on for nearly fifty years: her, finally, was proof. Professor Lisa Randall of Harvard University is one of the world's most influential theoretical physicists. In Higgs Discovery she deftly explains both this epochal discovery and its startling beautiful implications.
