Angels & Demons: The Science Revealed

Could you really destroy the Vatican using a small amount of antimatter made in the Large Hadron Collider? Thats the question Carnegie Mellons Manfred Paulini seeks to answer in the lecture Angels and Demons: The Science Revealed. Dr. Paulini, an experimental particle physicist and member of the CMS experiment at CERNs Large Hadron Collider, discusses the science facts and fiction in the movie Angels and Demons, based on Dan Browns best-selling novel.

Dr. Paulini talks about the physics at the heart of Angels and Demons, which focuses on what happens when matter and antimatter meet. The absence of practically any antimatter in the universe is crucial to our existence, and understanding that absence is one of the big challenges of particle physics.

[ludvigvan11]

i almost swallowed the book, in spite i read it in swedish, which is not even my 2nd language - the movie is so disappointing.

@skateboardgumby making mistakes is one thing, understandably so...but saying "uhhhh" every two seconds is just hilarious and obnoxious.

@skateboardgumby Who cares if he is smarter than me, I sure dont. Hes Speaking in a second or third or who knows maybe even fourth language and hes doing a great job at it. I'm currently learning a third language and im sure I dont sound great. Now after watching End of ze world AGAIN, im sure hes the narrator. =)

@SpeedyThaSnail Lay off, you moron. This guy is probably a heck of a lot smarter than you ever thought about being.
