Andreas Warburton :verified:<p>Wonderful memory of New Year&#39;s Eve day, 10 years ago: I gave an outreach lecture on the Higgs boson, the discovery of which we announced earlier that year, to an attentive group of schoolchildren in Purkal Village, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. I used stones from the Ganges River to represent protons and beauty quarks, and a pomegranate bought in Rishikesh to represent the Higgs. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/higgs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>higgs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/higgboson" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>higgboson</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/PYDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PYDS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Purkal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Purkal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>India</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>physics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/particle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>particle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/particlephysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>particlephysics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/scicomm" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>scicomm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/cern" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cern</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/atlas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>atlas</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/atlasexperiment" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>atlasexperiment</span></a></p>
