That achievement validated a remarkable chain of theoretical reasoning that combined the prescriptive notion of electroweak gauge symmetry with a simple, but ad hoc, embodiment of spontaneous symmetry breaking. It was enabled by generational triumphs of accelerator art and experimental technique, and by human resourcefulness and collaboration on a global scale, all sustained by the enlightened support of many governments and institutions.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Some imagine that, once the keystone of the standard model of particle physics has been set, our subject is over. Others worry that we may be at an impasse because no comparable wonders have appeared, leaving us without well-defined clues to a more complete paradigm. I do not share the self-assurance that prompts the first group to speak for nature, for the essence of science is doubt, and curiosity, and humility. Nor am I so easily discouraged: our description of nature is incomplete, and we have so much more to learn! This seminar will survey many questions that, taken together, constitute an inspiring array of opportunities to enhance our understanding of the physical world.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tuesday 11 August 2026 at 10:15 in A315 and using Zoom: Christophe Royon (CMS)<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>TBA<br \/>\nAbstract: <\/em>TBA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>Hopefully the up to\u00a0<b>50 min + 10 min discussion long\u00a0<\/b>seminar\/colloquium will be understandable to a wide audience.<br \/>\nContacts: Keijo Kajantie (keijo kajantie at helsinki fi) [ HIP seminar],<br \/>\nTushar Gupta\u00a0 (tushar.gupta at helsinki fi) [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hip.fi\/cosmoseminars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cosmo seminar<\/a>]<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><b>Other related seminars<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Friday 10-12 seminar series in D114: <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.helsinki.fi\/xwiki\/bin\/view\/Astrophysics\/Astrophysics%20seminar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Astrophysics seminar<\/a><\/i><i><br \/>\nMathematical Physics\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.helsinki.fi\/en\/researchgroups\/mathematical-physics\/seminars-and-workshops\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seminar and Workshop series<\/a>\u00a0Wed 14-16 in Exactum C123.<br \/>\nInstituteQ <a href=\"https:\/\/instituteq.fi\/news-events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Events and Seminars<\/a><br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS \/ HIP JOINT COLLOQUIA \/ SEMINARS 2026 Thursday 11 June 2026 at 14:15 in CK112 (Exactum) and using Zoom: Chris Quigg (Fermilab)\u00a0 ; Note unusual time and place!
