Not so much because we'd get crash courses in economics, diplomacy, the Internet or particle physics.
CERN, the European particle physics laboratory in Geneva, physicists are now campaigning for its successor.
Meanwhile, the price of the playpen, particularly for particle physics, is still going up.
Sadly the first half is a dull and, in places, inadequate history of particle physics.
Note: CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is the world's leading laboratory for particle physics.
He is the new official spokesperson for the ATLAS experiment, a particle physics experiment at CERN.
Unlike astronomy or particle physics, paleontology is still a vigorous mixture of acquisitiveness, showmanship, speculation, and polemic.
It is published in the January edition of the Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1992 for his inventions, the proportional chambers used in particle physics.
The latest upgrade was funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PParc).
Fortunately, exceptional mathematical fluency is required in only a few disciplines, such as particle physics, astrophysics and information theory.
D. in particle physics from Cambridge University, is well equipped to describe all the arcane mathematics in layman's language.
The Standard Model of Particle Physics describes all the known properties of nature (with the exception of dark matter).
The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council, to which it is now answerable, is, however, no respecter of history.
CERN, the European particle physics laboratory near Geneva, will create particles with greater masses than have yet been seen.
ECONOMIST: A shape could describe the cosmos and all it contains
The experiment on cloud formation also seems likely to undermine the particle physics laboratory's reputation for pursuing only blue skies research.
Readers without a grasp of the so-called standard model in particle physics may well flounder in the chapter on the physics prize.
Particle physics, therefore, risks grinding to a halt for purely pragmatic reasons.
But scientists do not know if the particle they've found is truly the one predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics.
Then he switched to particle physics and worked on building and using particle detectors destined to figure out aspects of how quarks behave.
This was all based on a simple insight: The behavior of the electron was dictated by the wave function rather than particle physics.
The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council, the Natural Environment Research Council and the Department of Trade and Industry are expected to provide funding.
So far, the theorists have described how three of the 16 particles in the Standard Model of particle physics may be created in this way.
His theory has dominated the world of particle physics ever since.
For ICTP this is an incredibly important result given the fundamental role that Abdus Salam played in the development of the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
The project has received funding from Queen's University, the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council - the UK's strategic science investment agency - and the Open University.

The cosmic ray particle physics detector was carried to the International Space Station on the final flight of the space shuttle Endeavour and installed under NASA direction.
CNN: Space station detector gives first clues to 'dark matter'
And we might be provided with clues that reveal the trail to unraveling the ultimate holy grail of fundamental particle physics -- a quantum theory of gravity.
After eight years of struggle, the so-called Standard Model of particle physics was revised (by Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa, of Nagoya University), to accommodate the asymmetry.
Today, regardless of whether researchers are studying particle physics or human genetics, science papers by multiple authors receive more than twice as many citations as those by individuals.
