The annual Chester Peterson Jr. public lecture series offered Kansas State University students and faculty the chance to hear from a Nobel Prize-winning physicist.
Eric Cornell, a physics professor at the University of Colorado, discussed uncovering cosmic fossils within a lab setting. In his lecture, “Looking for Fossils of the Big Bang in the Laboratory,” he offered a fresh perspective on the universe’s first moments.
Acknowledging that physics can be complex, Cornell said he wanted the average person to leave his lecture realizing a connection exists between modern experiments and events from 13.7 billion years ago.
