The world's largest particle accelerator was successfully fired up today for an experiment many predict will fundamentally alter man's understanding of the cosmos. When it reaches full power later this year, the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN laboratory in Geneva will send beams of protons in opposite...
The driving principle behind the CERN experiment - and indeed physics itself - is that despite its vast and complex appearance, the universe is actually ordered, rational and elegant. Every major breakthrough in physics has shown the cosmos to conform to mathematical equations so symmetrical and satisfying they can only be described...
Just four years ago, Harvard and MIT launched a decade-long experiment to test an innovative organizational model for scientific discovery. Now, the results are in. The Broad Institute, a unique joint effort between Harvard and MIT to bring genome-based information to medicine, received a $400 million gift from...
But Williams also believes that the flip side of such fear is faith in the redemptive potential of science (there are equally irrational websites about CERN, for example, that predict the LHC will create wormholes to distant corners of the universe, where humanity can escape to other inhabitable planets). Williams...
