Dr. Jim Pivarski joins us on Wake the Dead to discuss the CERN Large Hadron Collider, Particle Physics & modern science's quest for understanding of reality. Jim explains the what, why and how of the experiments conducted at CERN's LHC. He dispels many myths and rumors regarding the experiment, including the myth that the LHC creates black holes that will swallow the earth. The provocative language physicists use leads to mainstream fear & confusion. The reality is much more intriguing & elegant. Jim also shares photos and personal experiences of the building and installation of the LHC. An extremely enlightening conversation, please enjoy the show.
