A day with dad at Fermilab


Tim took the day off from work to take Callahan to

Fermilab

a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics.

while it all escapes me, they had a great time

just father and son scientists bonding together

Tevatron Ring in which protons speed around
at almost the speed of light then collide into each
other to create new theoretical fundamental
particles
(as explained by Callahan)

(Higgs Boson)
is a massive scalar elementary particle predicted to exist
. At present there are no known fundamental scalar particles in nature.
