The New York Times Magazine : Physicists across the world are looking forward to Large Hadron Collider being turned on later this year. For the past generation, physics has been in something of a rut says New York Times reporter Jim Holt. There have been plenty of findings from smaller colliders, but the results have mostly been expected. To make further progress âmdash; to understand why the basic forces of nature have such wildly varying strengths, or why elementary particles have the seemingly arbitrary masses they do, or how all these forces and particles fit together in a single mathematical framework âmdash; data from higher realms of energy are needed. The L.H.C. should take physicists to those realms.
