Renowned physicist Frank Close, author of The Infinity Puzzle, offers an insider’s look at the 40 years of research, breakthrough, and endeavor surrounding its construction, against a backdrop of high politics, low behavior and billion-dollar budgets. Presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store. Series sponsored by Microsoft. Series media sponsorship provided by KPLU.
