THE LATEST RESEARCH AT ARGONNE AND FERMILAB
Chicago is home to two of the top scientific research facilities in the country—the Argonne National Laboratory and the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, perhaps better known as Fermilab. Both are affiliated with the University of Chicago and both conduct experiments that are on the forefront of astrophysics, particle physics, biochemistry, and more. Tonight, we welcome researchers from both facilities who will discuss their latest breakthroughs and detail how Fermilab and Argonne are key players in today’s international science scene. Our guests are TOM ROSENBAUM, Vice President for Research and Argonne National Laboratory at the University of Chicago, ROBERT ROSNER, director of Argonne National Laboratory, PIER ODDONE, director of Fermilab, and MICHAEL TURNER, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of Chicago and a researcher at Fermilab.
If you should happen to start delving into the show's audio archives be sure to check out his interview with Mark Steyn on October 17th. They formed a great tag team against terrorists.
They weren't so much scientists as they were AI, though.
Why????
President Bill Clinton (1993). Letter of June 16, 1993 to William H. Natcher, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations. Archived at Fermilab’s High Energy Physics Information Center. In part, the text reads “As your Committee considers the Energy and Water Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1994, I want you to know of my continuing support for the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). ... Abandoning the SSC at this point would signal that the United States is compromising its position of leadership in basic science - a position unquestioned for generations. These are tough economic times, yet our Administration supports this project as a part of its broad investment package in science and technology. ... I ask you to support this important and challenging effort.”
Guess I missed this one the first time around - I probably should look at “sell by” date.
Preparing For The Biggest Experiment On EarthWe already know what the answer is going to be:
42
If the planet Earth was being consumed by a black hole at any noticeable rate, the gravity would have been to strong for them to escape.
Keep in mind- science fiction. It’s not going to have it right. Thats the point of it.
