Ep 45: Steven Goldfarb, CERN

In this episode, we discuss...

• Steven's introduction to nuclear through physical chemistry.  

• An explanation of CERN's mission and the Large Electron Positron Collider.  

• Antimatter and the Z Boson.  

• Why the effective mass of particles increase as you get closer to the speed of light.  

• The misconceptions of particle collisions and an explanation of their interactions.  

• The benefits of partnering with others in the industry.  

• Collecting data through Z factories and the families of particles and quark.  

• The Theory of Super-Symmetry and the Grand Unification Theory.  

• Why it's better to refer to dark matter as invisible matter and its interaction with light in space.  

• The ATLAS Experiment and photographing particle collisions.  

• How measuring the Higgs Boson can help give us a new window into physics.
