How particle physics will continue after the last collider

Sign up for the Starts With a Bang newsletter Travel the universe with Dr. Ethan Siegel as he answers the biggest questions of all. Since the 1800s, energetic particles have probed the fundamental nature of matter. Rutherford’s gold foil experiment showed that the atom was mostly empty space, but that there was a concentration of mass at one point that …
