Lesson Topic
The Higgs boson
Lesson Outline
We watched the last part of the documentary on the Big Bang that concentrated on the Higgs field and boson, responsible for the mass of things in the Universe. We discussed the Large Hadron Collider, a particle accelerator 16-miles underground, straddling the French and Swiss border, and the instruments built to detect the Higgs. The documentary concentrated on the first second of the Universe, and Jared began asking very tough questions on the concept of time..! (We will start with stars tomorrow, Jared appears so fascinated by the Big Bang and its consequences, I wanted to spend a bit more time on it.)
