This week, we are going atomic at the European Organization for nuclear research, cern. We will look at the cutting edge Cancer Treatments that are foxing the physicists. I find it fascinating because it does not talk to my physics brain. So, i am curious to see whether it will bring something or not. How does science become fiction . We will meet an author looking for disaster. We want conflict. We want to see things falling apart. That is where the interesting thing is for a fiction writer. And then there is a scientist with an experiment that could change our understanding of everything. That is a completely unanticipated result new physics and probably a nobel prize for somebody who happens to be involved. Cern is one of the most Famous Centres for science in the world. On the border of switzerland and france, this place has been expanding our horizons for decades. Its High Energy Physics research has helped reveal the secrets of our existence. And i have been allowed in it to meet
Famous centres for science in the world. On the border of switzerland and france, this place has been expanding our horizons for decades. Its High Energy Physics research has helped reveal the secrets of our existence. And i have been allowed in it to meet some of those at the cutting edge. 2500 people work here. 12,000 more pour over the results of the experiments. Here at cern it is a really unique community. It is an International Group of people, so we are from all over the world. Cern is an exciting melting pot of projects and ideas. You see people in restaurantl having tea with their friends and they work on a myriad of different projects. You can knock on the door of a Nobel Prize Winning scientist, ask them a question, and they will say, come in. Lets talk about it and have a coffee. Any young boy or girls dream to work in science, right, is to go to a place which is like a town of science, and that is what cern really is. Its buzzing with the ideas. Its also buzzing with energ
