This invention is regarded as having opened up an endless vision for humanity about the natural world, where even the tiniest fundamental particles and the vast universe seem to share a unified intrinsic nature.
According to information from the Vietnam Physics Association: on the afternoon of August 4, 2006, a lecture titled “Matter and Antimatter in the Universe” will be held at the Nguy Nhu Kon Tum lecture hall (19-Le Thanh Tong, Hanoi), presented by Professor Jim Cronin – a Nobel Prize-winning scientist from the United States and the author of the famous physics discovery regarding the asymmetry of K-meson particles and antiparticles.
As a physicist researching fundamental particles using particle accelerators, this discovery led Professor Cronin to become the founder and leader of the international Pierre Auger project, which searches for high-energy cosmic rays.
He has visited Vietnam twice to assist young Vietnamese physicists in participating in the Pierre Auger international project. This time, Professor Jim Cronin comes to Hanoi to present the initial results of the project and to discuss the relationship between fundamental particles and cosmic space, as well as the connection between the micro and macro worlds.
