CERN

CERN was very interesting and was able to put on a really good show. I loved the layout and how you could sit in little domes to get a short description of certain topics. One I found really interesting was the one about extra dimensions. It was saying that in our world that we experience on a daily basis we only can detect two or three dimensions where as atoms and particles have the ability to escape into many other dimensions. This short clip brought up string theory and the possibility of there being 9 different dimensions. I don't fully understand all of it but I did find it very cool to think about.

    It was very interesting. It’s nearly impossible for me to grasp the idea of more than three dimensions. What would that look and feel like? Although I couldn’t comprehend a lot of the complex topics discussed at this museum, it was enough information to spark my interest and go read more on my own.

    I thought it was cool learning about string theory as well because they always talk about it in Big Bang Theory!
