            From the origins of mass to the stability of ordinary matter:
                    Higgs, Maxwell and quantum chromodynamics


Kivonatos ismertetés:
In our everyday experience, the mass of an object is the sum of the mass of 
its parts. However, in the world of subatomic particles, this everyday 
assumption is no longer true and even very small mass differences can have 
cosmic consequences. After an introduction to the mechanisms by which mass 
emerges, I will describe how supercomputers are being used to compute, from 
first principles, the interactions between elementary particles in order to 
reveal the origins of mass and to explain the stability of the matter which 
constitutes us and the visible universe.
