거대강입자가속기(LHC)와 '신의 입자' 힉스 - 브라이언 콕스 교수(Prof. Brian Cox) 강연

오늘(2003.3.14)자 뉴스에서 유럽입자물리연구소가 '신의 입자'라고 불리는 힉스 입자를 발견했다고 공식 발표했습니다.

그와 관련하여 예전에 올렸던 거대강입자가속기에 관한 영국 맨체스터 대학 브라이언 콕스 교수의 강연 영상을 재업합니다.

참고로 7분 넘어서 힉스 입자에 대해 설명합니다.

About Brian Cox
Physicist Brian Cox has two jobs: working with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and explaining big science to the general public.

Why you should listen to him:

Based at the University of Manchester, Brian Cox works at CERN in Geneva on the ATLAS experiment, studying the forward proton detectors for the Large Hadron Collider there.

He’s also become a vital voice in the UK media for explaining physics to the public. With his rockstar hair and accessible manner, he’s the go-to physicist for explaining heady concepts on British TV and radio. (If you're in the UK, watch him on The Big Bang Machine.) He was the science advisor for the 2007 film Sunshine.

"If people don’t have an understanding of what science is and what scientists do, then they can tend to think that global warming, for example, is just a matter of opinion."

- Brian Cox in Seed magazine
