Chasing the invisible: how physicists hunt for the universe's missing pieces
In short: James Beacham explains the methodology behind modern physics, specifically how scientists use the world's largest experiment to probe the fundamental mysteries of our reality.
The talk explores the search for undiscovered fundamental particles and a comprehensive explanation for the mysteries of gravity. To do this, Beacham highlights the work done at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, which represents the largest science experiment ever mounted.
The presentation provides a journey through the concept of extra-spatial dimensions and details the underlying drive that motivates scientists to keep exploring the unknown.
