14 Billion years on, what can we learn about Original Imperfection?
Eric Cornell,
JILA, University of Colorado,
"Behold, we were shapen in asymmetry; and in imperfection did the universe conceive us." after Psalm 51, KJV
The conventional wisdom is that if you want to learn more about the early universe, you build a bigger telescope, and that if you want to learn more about subatomic particles, you build a bigger accelerator. I will talk about a third and complementary way to get at both sorts of questions: table-top precision measurement.
