The Department of Physics and Astronomy, in conjunction with the East Lansing Film Society, present “Particle Fever,” a documentary directed by Mark Levinson that follows six scientists during the launch of the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland.
The 99-minute film will be shown at 7:30 p.m. on April 16 at Studio C! in Okemos.
Viewers will witness more than 10,000 scientists, including MSU professors, from over 100 countries try to recreate conditions that existed just moments after the Big Bang and find the elusive Higgs boson with the biggest and most expensive experiment in history.
Following the film, viewers have the opportunity to learn about MSU’s participation from professors who worked on the Large Hadron Collider.
Tickets are available through Studio C! at www.studioctheatre.com.
