Explaining complex questions such as antimatter to any audience sounds pretty difficult, yet Rolf Landua managed it perfectly. The conference was a great example of scientific popularization. Rolf Landua was kind enough to let me summarize his talk for GeekMom. I was lucky enough to attend with my students a conference by CERN physicist Rolf Landua ( who could have inspired Dan Brown for his character Leonardo Vetra), in which CERN scientists answer Dan Brown’s allegations about antimatter in his novel Angels & Demons. I don’t remember if I already mentioned it on GeekMom, but I live and teach near Geneva, on the border between France and Switzerland, thus very close to the CERN and its Large Hadron Collider (LHC is used as a common name in the area, even by complete non-geeks).
