Why antimatter matters | Professor Tara Shears | TEDxLiverpool
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 27 Αυγ 2014
This
talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED
Conferences. While most people know of antimatter through the science
fiction of Star Trek, it's very real, important and mysterious. In her
usual accessible style, Professor Tara Shears helps us better understand
what antimatter is all about and it's fundamental role in creating the
Universe.
While Manchester’s Brian Cox enjoys more fame, we
believe Tara to be one of the best communicators of science we have ever
seen. She is a particle physicist at Liverpool University and is
Liverpool’s representative at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in
Switzerland. She started her career investigating particle physics at
CERN in Switzerland, and was subsequently awarded a Royal Society
research fellowship in 2000 to continue her research at the Collider
Detector at Fermilab facility near Chicago. Today, Tara splits her time
between Liverpool and Switzerland.
