Physics
Summary

Looking for a grand theory of everything could open opportunities for a better comprehension of engineering and day-to-day services from a better understanding of certain fundamental laws in physics. Working at CERN and searching for supersymmetry, one of these alternatives to the standard model, allows a better comprehension of physics.
