Actually Understand.
"Most people have heard of the Large Hadron Collider. However, most people also don't understand exactly how it works or what it does. (Something with physics, maybe?) Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Reserach (CERN), where the LHC is located, discovered the famed Higgs boson—aka the "God particle"—in 2012 after years of experiments, but truly understanding what that means for science is a bit murky.
Enter Particle Fever. The new documentary opens tomorrow in New York, and aims to demystify the years of LHC research that led to the discovery of the Higgs boson particle—as well as make it exciting for audiences to watch.
Scientific discoveries are fascinating, of course, but often not to laypeople, and making such things digestible was something the filmmakers struggled with. "There were at least 10,000 conversations about that issue," says theoretical physicist David Kaplan, who served as a producer on the film. "We wanted to focus on the characters, on the humans, that are going through this drama and introduce the physics as a necessary part of the narrative itself. That way, I think, when you do hear the physics, you hear it and you remember it at a deeper level because it's in the context of an emotional story, as opposed to simply a lecture."
