CERN researcher at At-Bristol

The discovery of the Higgs boson particle predicted 50 years ago by former Bristol schoolboy and now Nobel prize winner Peter Higgs was made last year by scientists at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland.

Visitors to At-Bristol’s latest adults-only After Hours event tonight will get the chance to quiz a CERN researcher now at Bristol University.

Particle physicist Dr Joel Goldstein will be hosting a session entitled, ‘Everything you wanted to know about the Large Hadron Collider but were too afraid to ask’.

His talk will form part of a special space-themed night to celebrate World Space Week.

Here is an artist’s impression of the Higgs field:

    Congratulations to Peter Higgs.

    But what if the speed of light varies through time and space? What if natural constants aren’t that constant?

    That would maybe indicate that consciousness has existed since the beginning of the universe, and that the universe is much larger than we imagine.

    Interested? Then read my philosophical multiverse theory.
