Physics Links

• CERN:  The European Organization of Nuclear Research houses the world's largest machine and most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider.  It represents the cutting edge of physics, a long way from Galileo but basic, fundamental physics nonetheless.  I spent the summer of 1999 here.  
• Particle Adventure:  This might be a good way to start if you want to know about modern particle physics.
  
• Hubble Telescope:  Astronomy is fascinating, and the Hubble Telescope is a pretty good place to learn about it.  Great images.
