Me

My Origins

Family Tree

About My Parents

Childbirth

My Sister and I

Growing Up

I am 13.8 billion years – s old

Adolescence

Childhood Ponderings

What am I made of? And what can I become? m proton matter m nucleus m atom m molecule < m quark

What is my destiny?

How long will I live?

What are these forces pulling on me? (and why are they so different?)

It’s hard to be positive all the time!

My First Electron (She was only 400,000 years old!)

Marriage

Alternatives

Where did all my anti-friends go?

Early Career

Becoming A Star (300 million years old)

Caught Up In The Revolution

What’s holding us together?

Dark Matter

Bad Accounting

The Journey to Geneva

Milky Way

Solar System

Earth

Geneva

Dedicating My Life To Science

Uncle Fred, The Higgs Candidate

Candidate…

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN

The ATLAS Experiment

The CMS Experiment

The ALICE Experiment

The LHCb Experiment

Current Ponderings

My Office Will I ever get out of this bottle?

Will I make it to the LHC?

Will I collide?

What will I become?

Will I be famous?

Probability Odds of getting out of the bottle0.5 Odds of making it to the LHC0.1 Odds of colliding0.1 Odds of one of my quarks or gluons colliding10 -7 Odds of becoming a Higgs boson10 -9 Odds of being detected10 -3 Chance at fame?10 -22

Is it all worthwhile?

Let’s do the calculation…

Yes! Now, enjoy your pint!
