So at CERN they are studying particle physics. Zach is receiving his PhD this fall. Go Zach!!! He's been offered a job to stay at CERN for two more years -- guess he's kinda smart. What we learned is the simplicity of particles and how they are pretty much like people. No matter how much you think you figure them out -- they all have their own unique personality and do their own thing. Pretty simply if you ask two blondes. Great day. Great minds. THANK YOU ZACH!!!
Then off to CERN where Zach is one of the partical physicists. He gave us an AMAZING tour of CERN that was featured in the movie Angels and Demons. We were on the inside of the ATLAS Experiment – which is “mapping the secrets of the Universe.” It’s a particle physics experiment by scientists from 37 nations! First of all – how amazing it’s being done in conjunction as a team seeing how we are all connected instead of as a competition. All areas of the world could learn from this.
We arrived in Genevathis morning to meetZach (Greg's nephew who lives in Geneva and works at Cern)! John, from the Tufts program, asked to “tag along” to see Cern – and we were so glad he did! We love you John!!! What a great day Zach showed us. We did the parks, fountains, churches, place of Red Cross Treaty (Geneva Convention), financial and fashion districts, food markets -- and coffee of Geneva. Whew!!! Then we went to the Old Town which was so incredibly charming and then toCern!!! What a day!!! We LOVED IT!!! THANK YOU ZACH!!!!
