Think small.... really really really small.  What does the world looks like and how do we study the natural phenomena that exist at these infinitely small scales?  This is the realm of particle physics research. Join Dr. Brigitte Vachon as she talks about the big questions we have yet to answer using the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and colliders yet to come.

What do we know about physics at a scale smaller than the Planck scale for time, length and mass? The big bang started before the smallest unit of Planck time. How will we ever try to figure out what happened before about 10–43 seconds? CERN cost a lot of money, time and human resources -- is it really paying off? Seems like a lot of what we want to explore would take a CERN many orders of magnitude more powerful. Was it really good bank for the buck? Would it be worthwhile to build a larger CERN or should scientist use a radically different approach?
