Size+and+Scale

= Discussion on Size and Scale = Authors: Kristin Labby & Dorothy Ahlf, 2011 The discussion can be introduced by talking about the Large Hadron Collider and Lisa Randall's book (which Kristin attended a book signing for). The experiments at the LHC will help us learn about the composition of atoms. In the 1950s, when protons were first discovered, the thought at the time was that a proton was the smallest particle. But now we know that there are particles on much smaller scales (electrons, quarks, bosons, etc). Then a significant amount of time was discussing the interactive from: @http://scaleofuniverse.com/
