Into the Unknown
– what next for
the Large Hadron
Collider?
Dr Harry Cliff
St Wulfram’s Church
Ticket: £4, for school bookings call
the Box Office
Duration: 1hr
As part of CERN Live, Dr Harry Cliff
explains why and what the Large Hadron
Collider discovers next could completely
change the way we think about our
universe. Harry is a particle physicist at
the University of Cambridge and was
curator of the Science Museum’s Collider
exhibition. This talk is suitable for schools
audiences and a general audience.
Reflections:
Newton’s laws united different aspects of
nature, by saying that the force that makes
apples fall to the ground is the same force
that keeps the moon orbiting the earth.
Modern particle physics is a continuation
of Newton’s work, unifying three of the
fundamental forces in a single theory.

Reflections:
Cosmologists look at all aspects of the
universe and try to piece together from the
various observations a consistent model
to explain not only why it is the way it is
today, but what it was like in the past, and
just how far back that past goes.
