BUMP: Paul Halpern on Nov. 12 at the Pen and Pencil Club, 7pm

Posted on | October 28, 2009 | No Comments

Join us November 12 at the Pen and Pencil Club, the nation’s oldest press club, for an evening with Paul Halpern, a physicist at the University of the Sciences and author of Collider: The Search for the World’s Smallest Particles.

He will be discussing how physicists have sought the most fundamental building blocks of the universe using increasingly powerful particle-smashers and culminating in the Large Hadron Collider, soon to restart in Europe. He will address the hopes and fears surrounding the world’s largest and most powerful scientific instrument.

The event will start at 7PM. atlas_cern_big
