Description:

"Looking at Ever Smaller Scales"

For more than a hundred years, particle physicists have been smashing things together to figure out what makes up everything. At first, we were swamped with the number of new particles that appeared, but we were saved by a radicall simple theory, the Standard Model, and a single minus sign.

Alex Edison, Postdoctoral Scholar, Northwestern University
