from Apple Science Profiles · host Apple Inc.
This Apple science podcast features physicist Dr. Brian Cox of the University of Manchester. He works as a particle physicist at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, where the world’s biggest Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will attempt to recreate the Big Bang in miniature. Cox has gained a following for his presentation skills and ability to communicate complex ideas surrounding particle science concepts to lay-audiences. CERN’s team of more than 10,000 scientists, most with a UNIX background, found the Mac Book Pro running Mac OS X solved the problem of two or more machines while allowing them to run legacy Fortran particle science programs and productivity applications. For transporting his equipment and knowledge base from the research lab to the presentation stage, Cox relies on his MacBook Air. Apple’s ability to sync and support multiple platforms plays a crucial part in the biggest scientific research experiment ever attempted.
