Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw explain the big bang
What is infinity? Is the Milky Way omelette-shaped? Readers ask particle physicists Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw to unscramble some of the universe’s mysteries
It was a scientific match made if not in heaven, then in manmade conditions approaching the big bang: Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw first met at a particle collider in Hamburg 15 years ago. They have collaborated on various scientific projects ever since and are now both professors at Manchester University’s Particle Physics Group and are involved in research projects at Large Hadron Collider at Cern, Geneva.You can also listen to a 6-minute audio of Prof Brian Cox talking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme by clicking on this link: Professor Brian Cox: Quantum physics ‘is not difficult’.
Nancy Atkins, via Universe Today:
At two separate conferences in July, particle physicists announced some provoking news about the Higgs boson, and while the Higgs has not yet been found, physicists are continuing to zero in on the elusive particle. Universe Today had the chance to talk with Professor Brian Cox about these latest findings, and he says that within six to twelve months, physicists should be able to make a definite statement about the existence of the Higgs particle.
