SUMMARY

CERN has proposed a new particle collider, the Future Circular Collider (FCC), which will surpass the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in size and power. This initiative aims to explore fundamental questions regarding dark matter, matter-antimatter imbalance, and potential theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. A live discussion featuring physicists Harry Cliff and John Womersley took place on March 7, focusing on the necessity of the FCC and funding strategies for the project. Archive videos of the event will be available on the Royal Institution's YouTube channel in the coming weeks.

Quoting the Royal Institution YouTube channel:
Royal Institution said:
In January, CERN announced their proposal to build a new particle collider that would dwarf the LHC in both size and power. It's designed to seek answers to some of the deepest questions about our universe including the nature of dark matter, the imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe and whether a deeper theory lies beneath the current Standard Model of particle physics.

We invited particle physicists Harry Cliff and John Womersley to discuss the project on 7 March here at the Ri.

The best part? You are all invited to watch, listen and ask questions via our second ever livestream!

Anyone have an archive video from the live event?
Archive videos will be posted in the Ri channel. The link to the live video is supposed to be disabled after the event is over. I will upload the video once they edit and post it in their channel.
 
The talk ended just now. Anyone else attended?

The first part was on why the FCC is needed. The second part focused on how to get funding for the project. Overall it was a good talk.

They will upload the videos in a couple of weeks and I shall upload them to the PF media gallery as they put it up on YouTube.
