Virtual Harper Lecture: The Unseen Universe: How It Impacts the World We See, featuring Marcela Carena

The invisible determines our everyday existence. An invisible energy field, related to the Higgs boson, provides mass. Dark matter, while still undetected in the laboratory, holds our galaxy together. Virtual particles can flicker into existence and disappear very quickly, affecting the forces of nature and the behavior of matter. In her Harper Lecture, Marcela Carena presents exciting new results from experiments at Fermilab with particles called muons – results that may illuminate new forces in nature, changing our understanding of the universe all the way back to the big bang.

Part of the UChicago Alumni and Friends Harper Lecture Fall 2021 Series. Originally broadcast on October 26, 2021
