商品描述
From novels and short stories to television and film, popular media has made a cottage industry of predicting the end of the world will be caused by particle accelerators. Rather than allay such fears, public pronouncements by particle scientists themselves often unwittingly fan the flames of hysteria.
This book surveys media depictions of particle accelerator physics and the perceived dangers these experiments pose. In addition, it describes the role of scientists in propagating such fears and misconceptions, offering as a conclusion ways in which the scientific community could successfully allay such misplaced fears through more effective communication strategies.
The book is aimed at the general reader interested in separating fact from fiction in the field of high-energy physics, at science educators and communicators, and, last but not least, at all scientists concerned about these issues.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
從小說和短篇故事到電視和電影，流行媒體已經形成了一個小型產業，預測世界末日將由粒子加速器引起。粒子科學家本身的公開聲明往往無意中助長了這種恐慌，而不是緩解這些恐懼。
本書調查了媒體對粒子加速器物理學的描繪以及這些實驗所帶來的感知危險。此外，它描述了科學家在傳播這些恐懼和誤解中的角色，並提供結論，指出科學界可以通過更有效的溝通策略成功緩解這些錯誤的恐懼。
本書的目標讀者是對高能物理領域的事實與虛構進行區分的一般讀者，科學教育工作者和傳播者，以及所有關心這些問題的科學家。
