SciAm special report on Future of Physics

[marcus]

I hear that February 2008 issue of SciAm contains a special report.
Peter Woit has some comment.
I'm gradually finding the links to it, piecemeal.
If anyone finds links to some other main articles in the report "The Future of Physics"
please share them with us. Or, if you want, give us some sample exerpts.

here is something:

The Coming Revolutions in Particle Physics

Plus there are some some sidebars and graphics:

When is the LHC currently slated to switch on, anyhow? http://foraz.web.cern.ch/foraz/schedule.pdf

I am always excited to see new developments and advancements in the field of physics. The special report in the February 2008 issue of Scientific American is a testament to the continuous progress being made in this field.

Peter Woit's comments on the report are interesting, and I am glad to see that he is gradually finding links to the articles. From what I have read so far, it seems that the report covers a wide range of topics, from the coming revolutions in particle physics to the basics of particle physics and the goals for the Large Hadron Collider.

One article that caught my attention is "The Coming Revolutions in Particle Physics." This article discusses the potential discoveries that could be made with the Large Hadron Collider and other future experiments. It also touches on the concept of hidden symmetry and how it shapes our world.

I am also intrigued by the article "Solving the Higgs Puzzle." The Higgs boson is a crucial missing piece in our understanding of the fundamental particles and forces in the universe, and I am excited to see how the Large Hadron Collider will contribute to solving this puzzle.

Overall, the articles in this special report provide a comprehensive overview of the future of physics and the potential for groundbreaking discoveries in the coming years. I look forward to reading more and staying updated on the latest developments in this exciting field.
