Humanos e Não Humanos na Antropologia

Abstract

As the biggest experimental device in the world, the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), settled half in France, half in Switzerland by the CERN (European Laboratory for Particle Physics), is a machine that accumulates superlatives: 100 meters under the ground, particles are accelerated to 99.9999991% of the speed of light, execute some 11245 rotations around the loop and collide one with each other about 600 million times per second… The incredible complexity supporting these records has been designed for an even more incredible aim: to provide "a journey inside the deepest structure of matter ", to discover "the fundamental laws that determine the behavior of nature", to understand "the first principles that govern the universe", and to provide "insights into the origin of the universes". In order to comprehend what is really at stake with this machine, I will go into the details of some of the operations required to commensurate particles and the cosmos.Sophie Houdart em grandes telões instalados um pouco por todos os lugares do CERN, nos halls, na cantina, perto das salas de conferências. Todos, ao longo de seus percursos diários que os levam de um ponto ao outro do CERN, podem ver, em tempo real, as curvas da vida dos feixes.
