Michio Kaku: An Atom Smasher in the Garage

This Afternoon I am sharing the 22nd in a series by Theoretical Physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku... The subject of his talk today is "An Atom Smasher in the Garage". Dr. Kaku discusses a topic regarding his effort of building an atom smasher when He was younger and the physics and discussion of the The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

"The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex. The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way."

Dr. Kaku details his explanation in terms the average person can understand... This is a short explanation, but I think you will find it very interesting and if nothing else, it is a fascinating discussion...
