Belfast art set to collide with quantum physics
The parallel universes of quantum physics and theatre are about to collide as scientists on the French-Swiss border attempt once more to recreate the Big Bang.With uncanny timing, an Irish play about the experiment at the Cern laboratory which is designed to explain the universe's origins will be staged while the real life drama of unlocking the cosmos' mysteries takes place 300ft under the earth on the outskirts of Geneva.The Gentlemen's Tea Drinking Society throws four men together in a single room, one of whom is a genius scientist with a secret to reveal - he has discovered the Higgs boson or the so-called "God Particle".One of the main purposes of the largest scientific experiment ever conducted is to find that elusive particle which physicists believe pervades all space and unites all other particles. They will try this at the Cern lab using the Large Hadron Collider which took 30...
