Watch video of a Dec. 3 Thinking Out of the (Lunch) Box presentation, “The Big Bang Broth: Cooking Primordial Soup,” with Victoria Greene, assistant professor of physics.

Can we really recreate the Big Bang in a laboratory in miniature? And can we really get more than 400 independent-minded scientists together to build such a technology in the first place – let alone build it on time, hold to a budget and agree on the meaning of the results? Victoria Greene examines what this multimillion-dollar, cutting-edge international experiment can teach us about the most fundamental ways the universe works.
