Particle Fever is a critically acclaimed documentary that captures the launch of the Large Hadron Collider and the groundbreaking search for the Higgs boson, a particle that could explain the structure of the universe. Directed by physicist-turned-filmmaker Mark Levinson and produced by David Kaplan, the film blends scientific discovery with the personal stories behind one of the most ambitious experiments in history.
After the screening, David Kaplan, producer of the film and Professor of Physics at Johns Hopkins University, will be joined by Sean Carroll, Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University and celebrated author, for an engaging discussion about how recent advances in particle physics are reshaping our understanding of reality. Together, they will provide deeper insights into the discoveries explored in the film and offer a glimpse into what lies ahead in the field.
