Like millions of others this morning, I’ve been following the announcements coming out of Geneva on the search for the elusive Higgs Boson particle at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider).
And I suspect that I, along with most of the folks out there, only grasp a small percentage of what is being discussed.
Later today those of us without degrees in advance physics can get some clarification by way of a webcast, aimed at the general public, that will try explain some of the news coming out of Switzerland today.
This announcement from Scientific American.
Demystifying the Higgs Results: A Panel Discussion for the General Public, 12:30–1:30 PM ET [Live Stream]
In the meantime, watch the announcements from CERN live
What do the results of the Higgs boson, the "God particle," mean for science? Join researchers from the Perimeter Institute, Canada's premier center for theoretical physics, for an interactive, live webcast as they discuss the latest findings from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the biggest, most ambitious scientific experiment in human history.
This event, geared towards high school students, teachers and the public, will discuss the findings, background and implications in clear, accessible language.
While tantalizing evidence of the existence of the Higgs particle has been detected, researchers believe it will take another year of experimentation before they can declare its discovery.
