CERN Turns Lead Into Gold
In a true Alchemic fashion, CERN for the first time ever turned Lead into Gold. Based just outside Geneva, Switzerland, CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
CERN researchers achieved this transformation by aiming beams of lead at each other, traveling at close to the speed of light.
CERN is also building their new Particle Accelerator which is going to be over 57 miles in length. This is over 3 times the size of the current one. So what are they really studying and the purpose of the Large Hadron Collider?
And in related news, physicists found that in the quantum realm, time could be flowing in reverse all around us. They said that at the subatomic level, we can’t always see obvious changes that indicate time’s passage.
Join us, Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts on this Edge of Wonder live where we will discuss all of this plus more.
