Atom Smasher Set for Record Collisions
As reported in The New York Times, the world's largest atom smasher, located near Geneva at the CERN (center for nuclear research), is ready to start a new era of science, colliding beams of protons to learn more about the make up of the universe and its smallest particles.
Filmmaker Samy Brunett is a former employee of the CERN laboratory. For SCIENTISTS AT THE RIM OF REALITY he returns to the lab for an update the quest to understand the universal laws. He finds scientists pushing their machines to the edge of technological feasibility, in search of the 'divine particle,' the Higgs boson, the missing link in the Theory of Everything.
