The Hadron Collider: In Search of the Peace Particle
The Hadron Collider: In Search of the Peace Particle
A look at the human stories behind mankind's biggest experiment in particle physics. In the aftermath of Hiroshima, a group of scientists vowed never to turn knowledge into weapons again, and from that promise, CERN was born. Blending poetry, music and rare archival footage of Oppenheimer with access to the Large Hadron Collider, this programme explores how science, politics and culture collide
The Hadron Collider: In Search of the Peace Particle airs on BBC Four HD at 1:30 AM, Thursday 4 June. (Subtitles.)
