PiTP 2017, titled "Particle Physics at the LHC
and Beyond," took place from July 17 to July 28, 2017, and covered
topics ranging from experimental results in particle physics to
prospects for physics beyond the standard model.
One of the surprising things about chaos is that it took so long
for physicists to appreciate how common it is. This is despite the
fact that people seem to come naturally programmed with intuition
for the basic phenomenon: that small changes to the...
On a beautiful overlook near the university, a middle-aged man

When Fang Lizhi, one of China’s most distinguished
scientists, began in 1986 to talk to his students about the
“universal rights” of human beings, he knew the risks. In those
days, the use of the term “rights” in China was highly sensitive,
even...
