The Big Think

wherein Sean comes up with a brilliant and potentially world-altering idea.

I’m truthfully humbled.

Physicist Brian Cox gave a talk at the recent Ted Talks conference on the impending operation of the Large Hadron Collider. It may sound geeky and inaccessible, but Cox is an engaging and genuine presenter. It’s very much an everyman, popular-science type talk, but it touches on a subject that I’m very interested in. Do yourself a favor and take 20 minutes to watch his excellent talk. That way you’ll understand the significance when, a year or so from now, I make an effusive blogpost that they’ve found the Higgs Boson.

On a sidenote, how can you not love Brian Cox? He holds a chair in particle physics at the University of Manchester, but looks more like a member of the Beatles. I hope this guy gets more face-time with the public. Who knows, we may have school girls swooning after a physicist- surely, something that’s never happened in this universe.
