The Music of Physics
If someone said the word “physicist” you are likely to think of Albert Einstein with his finger-in-a-light-socket hairstyle. A few savvy science enthusiasts will think of Brian Greene. But none will think of any of the 38 physicists working in the subterranean world at the Large Hadron Collider at the European research facility CERN.
At least not yet. Now that the atom-colliding and inspired tunes are coming out on a double disc album called Resonance – just in time for a Holiday gift — some new names may join the short list of phsycists…who can jam.
Scientists working on the ATLAS project are trying to show how physics and music are closely related. And after capturing particle collisions and putting them to sound, they are discovering a natural music in the universe.
