Small particles matter a great deal

Knowledge of the smallest particles of matter underlies many modern technologies, from the World-Wide Web to the GPS system, cancer diagnosis and therapy. Research in this field unites the efforts of thousands of scientists from many countries around the world in large experiments using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva, which is starting to provide new insights into how the Universe works. The way these experiments are organized may be an interesting model for other mega-projects in science and beyond.

Prof. Dr. John Ellis, theoretical physicist, CERN & King’s College, London, will be discussing particle physics, the LHC (the most advanced science experiment of time) and the effect they have had on the world.

Please note we are using a different venue to previous SciBar events.

    Watling Street is nowhere near Moorgate! If you’re going by Tube get off at St Paul’s, Bank or Mansion House, depending on where you’re coming from.

    You are correct that the closest tubes are Bank, St Pauls or Mansion House. We were just using the address on the venue’s website which uses Moorgate. I have removed this reference to prevent confusion.

    Great talk but venue too noisy which made it uncomfortable.
