Mini lectures: subatomic particles
This mini lecture from the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings takes a historical view of sub-atomic particle theory from the earliest work of Thompson and, subsequently, of Rutherford. Nobel prizewinners' recorded speeches provide the soundtrack to their discoveries of nuclei, protons and, then, neutrinos. The lecture explores a number of sub-atomic particles and leads to a discussion on the work undertaken in CERN with the large hadron collider. It also provides some description of the limits of human knowledge in this area.
