[large hadron collider] brain fodder


1. Detection of the Higgs boson would help explain which phenomenon of physics, e.g. time, vectors? What?

2. Near which city is the LHC buried deep in the earth?

3. If 3 of the 4 fundamental interactions are electromagnetism, strong interaction and weak interaction, what is the fourth?

4. One aspect to be studied is supersymmetry which has a bearing on QF theory. What is QFT?

5. Who said, in a BBC interview: "I think it will be much more exciting if we don't find the Higgs. That will show something is wrong, and we need to think again. I have a bet of one hundred dollars that we won't find the Higgs."

Answers

mass, Geneva, gravitation [gravity], quantum field theory, Stephen Hawking
