Continued thread

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

The European Particle Physics Strategy Update documents are now available here: indico.cern.ch/event/1439855/c (yes 250+ contributions!) #EPPSUHelpdesk #particlephysics #academia #CERN

So who submits plans? Definitely countries that are CERN member states. I was, for example, involved with the German contribution, which is the result of 4 multi-day workshops with discussion between hundreds of physicists, also with inputs from other physics disciplines btw.

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.”
