a jumble of Feynman diagrams and coloured shapes with a Bauhaus feel.

*I am somewhat dubious of this date because a) I was trained to use the metric convention day/month/year and b) physicists use the reduced constant h-bar (that’s h divided by 2 pi) and then, cause it’s easier they just change units such that h-bar = 1 but it’s as good an excuse as any

Particle accelerator: CERN presents a feasibility study for a LHC successor.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is currently the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world. Groundbreaking discoveries have been made there, such as the detection of the Higgs boson in 2012.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is planning a successor with a circumference of over 90 kilometres.

🌌 The *Multiverse from Home 2025* conference will be held June 3-6.

🌌 Goal: to bring together astrophysicists, cosmologists, philosophers and particle physicists from around the world to discuss and share ideas on the multiverse paradigm, and its implications for anthropic reasoning.

🌌 Current list of confirmed speakers: multiverse.cosmodiscussion.com

🌌 Registration & abstract submission (due May 9): multiverse.cosmodiscussion.com

My god the next general director of CERN, Prof Mark Thomson sounds like an idiot.

“It’s complex data, just like protein folding – that’s an incredibly complex problem – so if you use an incredibly complex technique, like AI, you’re going to win.”

I somehow had never heard of cloud chambers before. With the help of condensing vapors at cool temperatures, you can see the actual paths of particles with your own eyes.

Not only can you see electrons, and protons, but you also see the interactions between particles. And cloud chambers have been used in physics since the 1920s, wild!

For the #SciArtSeptember prompt mirror: #physicist Chien-shiung Wu (1912-1997), who came up with a truly beautiful experiment to test whether the weak force conserves parity (whether beta decay would be the same if reflected in the mirror)! I show Wu in her lab & a schematic diagram of her experiment. On the right I show her reflection, as in the mirror, & the mirror reflection of the 🧵1/n
