2012 is set to be a big year in particle physics, perhaps the most important for decades. At the European Organisation for Nuclear Research at CERN, the hunt for the famous Higgs Boson particle is in full swing, and experiments which create, trap and measure elusive anti-matter are reaching a dramatic stage.
To make things even more exciting, you can now follow the scientists’ progress, share in their discoveries and interact with them via the new CERN People Google+ Page and YouTube channel.
CERN People is a feature-length film project by the award-winning documentary-maker Films of Record. The documentary will explore the motivations, hopes and fears of the particle physicists as they explore the origins of the universe. The film will be released in 2013.
But instead of having to wait until then to see it, they are using Google+ and YouTube to tell this fascinating story, and invite everyone to get involved, as they go along. Here’s a taste:
A series of short films featuring the personalities behind the experiments will be posted on the CERN People Google+ Page and YouTube every month, and anyone from professional scientists to interested amateurs will be able to interact directly with CERN’s physicists via comments and Google+ Hangouts, a live video chat with up to 10 people.
As you can see from the videos, the scientists at CERN are pretty excited about what lies ahead. We are too.
