Visiting a physics conference in Japan

An international group of physicists--many of them young--met in Kobe, Japan, last week to discuss the experiments and theories of the energy frontier.

The annual Physics in Collision conference began in the United States in Blacksburg, Va., in 1981. For 29 years, the conference has given particle physicists a chance to present their work and discuss the with one another what it means.

In this video, one of the hosts of PIC 2009 and a future host of PIC 2010 offer a flavor of what an international physics conference is all about.
