The CERN

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.  :)

Natural History Museum - Switzerland

I learned at this museum most from the collection of collaborative learning exhibits!  Its probably sad to say but that was my favorite part...
