Dialogue: Communicating Particle Physics in the 21st Century

FermiNews presents an ongoing series dedicated to issues and opportunities in communicating high-energy physics.

Join the dialogue on physics communication. This week's article:

Why Accelerators Matter A cosmologist's assessment: The universe is not enough For two decades, I have been an advocate for using the universe as a heavenly laboratory to extend our experimental reach in addressing some of the most exciting questions in science. Indeed, experiments using beams of neutrinos from the sun, a distant supernova and cosmic-ray collisions in Earth's atmosphere have taught us much about the properties of neutrinos, including the first solid evidence for neutrino mass. Yet, in making the case for nonaccelerator physics, I (and others) may have been too successful.
