So I learned so much at CERN, it actually hard for me to distinguish.
For starters, I didn't know what it was, so this field trip was entirely a learning experience.
I learned that CERN was a proton accelerator that was used for treating cancer and evaluating questions human beings have pondered for hundreds of years. Through the evaluation of E=mc^2, mass can be formed from the energy of the colliding protons which are accelerated by electromagnetic forces.
I learned about anti matter from the corresponding museum, and how there may be a parallel universe full of identical matter capable of equalizing each other completely. It is still a mystery how some of the original matter survived in the big bang without other anti matter equalizing it out, which I found rather intriguing. :)

Antimatter is crazy, but neat, stuff
ReplyDeleteI also had little knowledge about CERN before this trip but really loved getting to experience it. Antimatter is crazy!
