Event Description

Find out how physics is about to change thanks to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) going online in Europe. Participating UO physics professors (Jim Brau, Graham Kribs and Eric Torrence) will detail in accessible language and appealing visuals how high-energy physics soon will be exploring how, as Brau says, "our very understanding of matter and energy, space and time will be transformed by the LHC."

This public UO event occurs just two days after scientists inject and send the first particle beam around the 17-mile-long (and round) underground LHC -- officially ushering in a new frontier in particle physics. Audience questions will be welcomed after the presentation!

Storm clouds help make some beautiful sunrays before and during sunset. These were taken 05/21/2013 around the Salmon Harbor Marina.

While I was in Winchester Bay to take sunset photos Sunday night, I saw such a huge number of seagulls soaring very high in the sky. There were tens of thousands of them and they were flying hundreds of feet in the air.

I always enjoy attending these reenactments. Especially since at one time I was a member of this group. A really nice bunch of people.
