Exploring the influence of the Nobel Prize for CME, advancements in quantum mechanics, and the halt of the superconducting supercollider project during the late 1980s to early 1990s. The chapter delves into funding allocation, project prioritization, and the political landscape of the era, while also discussing the progress in physics, quantum mechanics development, and effects of the space station initiative.
How do particles get mass? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice discover squarks, sneutrinos, the Higgs boson, and whether dark matter has a particle with theoretical physicist Brian Greene.
