"Exploring the Universe with the World's Most Powerful Microscope and Telescope"
Jonathan R. Ellis
Permanent Staff Scientist, CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research), Theory Group
The new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN promises to reveal physics secrets at both the smallest (subatomic) and largest (cosmological) scales. These include the origin of mass and, possibly, the nature of the mysterious cosmological dark matter. First collisions are scheduled for mid-2009. John Ellis is one of the foremost world experts on this topic, having done research both in particle physics and cosmology.
