Exploring the Universe with the World's Most Powerful Microscope and Telescope
Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum 600 South Gregory Street Urbana
The new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN promises to reveal physics secrets at both the smallest (subatomic) and largest (cosmological) scales. These include the origin of mass and, possibly, the nature of the mysterious cosmological dark matter. First collisions are scheduled for mid-2009. John Ellis is one of the foremost world experts on this topic, having done research both in particle physics and cosmology.
