What's the Matter with the Higgs Boson?
The Higgs boson is one of the biggest, most influential discoveries of the last decade, important enough that it resulted in an almost instant Nobel prize. But what’s it all about? How does it work? And what does it mean for a particle to "create mass"? If you've been feeling confused at cocktail parties, you'll get a half hour primer on how the universe works to set you straight.
Speaker: Dr. Dave Goldberg is a theoretical cosmologist and professor of Physics at Drexel University. He is the author, most recently, of “The Universe in the Rearview Mirror: How Hidden Symmetries Shape Reality.”
