AI Thread Summary
A teacher seeks recommendations for accessible resources to better understand the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) before a visit, aiming to engage knowledgeably with physicists. The discussion highlights the need for beginner-friendly materials, specifically mentioning "A Zeptospace Odyssey" as a potential resource. The focus is on finding guides that simplify complex physics concepts for those not currently active in the field.

As a teacher, I've managed to get an in-depth visit to the LHC, but I haven't studied or taught anything to that level for a loooong time.

Can anybody recommend an "idiots' guide" that will help me not look too dumb when I talk to the proper physicists there?

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...

Thread 'What is computational physics and what is the best way or method to learn computational physics?'

guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
