When asked how he feels about this upcoming exhibit, Kim says it feels like the moment before a “collision of particles from opposite sides through the very long tunnel of particle acceleration.

When it comes to particle physics, however, much of the action takes place in giant accelerators smashing particles together at the speed of light. These accelerators are sometimes humanmade and ...
