The hidden properties of electrons

How old is the Milky Way?

Maybe a better answer will be coming soon. Go here to read how particle physics might help.

Neutrinos they are very small.

They have no charge and have no mass
And do not interact at all.

Well, so said John Updike. They don't have no mass, but very very little mass, and it now appears that they have even less mass than people thought as you can read here. And while to them "The earth is just a silly ball," by detecting them deep underground you can learn quite about the Earth, which you can read about here. Enjoy, and my apologies for butchering that quite cute poem.

Are you worried...

... that the Large Hadron Collider is going to create a black hole which is going to swallow the Earth? Don't be.

If people are interesting in this, I can talk about it in more depth on a future program. Please let me know.

Large Hadron Collider Rap

As many of you heard, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN has recently turned on, and when it is running at full power (it isn't yet, and probably won't be for at least a year) it will be the most powerful particle accelerator/collider in the world. For more on some of the amazing science physicists are hoping to do with the LHC, check out this rap written and performed by physicists. It's really a lot better than it sounds. Hope you enjoy!
