Light has no mass, but Europe's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can convert light's energy into massive particles. Physicists studied matter-generating collisions of light and showed the departure angle of their debris is subtly distorted by quantum interference patterns in the light prior to collision. Their findings will help physicists accurately interpret future experiments aimed at finding 'new physics' beyond the Standard Model.

We live in an era where we finally have the technology to address some of the big questions of physics. Its a fascinating time to be alive.

It might be more fascinating to be alive after we figure some of it out and apply it. We won't be alive for that part.

We do what we do so that those that come after us have a better life.
