SUMMARY:The Lord of the Rings and Mr. Higgs' Boson: What Next?
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Michel Spiro\, National Center for Scientific Researc
	h (CNRS) France\nHosted by: Lawrence Sulak\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/p
	osters/2014_Spring/0429_Spiro.pdf\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloqu
	ia Series.\n\nAbstract: The recent discovery of the Higgs Boson by the Larg
	e Hadron Collider at CERN\, the Lord of Rings\, sheds new light on the inti
	mate connection between infinitely small elementary particles\, the nature 
	of the quantum vacuum\, and the infinitely large (the first nanoseconds of 
	our Universe). I discuss this long-term collective quest…the Fellowship o
	f the Rings…and the scientific\, technological\, economic\, and societal 
	benefits of this global-scale endeavor. I describe a strategy to further un
	ravel the mysteries of infinitesimal matter and of the observable Universe 
	as a future worldwide endeavor…the Return of the Rings.
