\"\"<\/a>A new interview with Fabiola Gianotti, director of CERN in Geneva. The eminent scientist reaffirmed her faith in God<\/mark>, explaining that it finds correspondence in the order and elegance of physical laws.<\/i><\/p>\n

Science enthusiasts should listen to Giovanni Minoli’s entire interview with Fabiola Gianotti<\/strong><\/mark> (in Italian language).<\/p>\n

Let’s talk about the director of Cern<\/strong> in Geneva, the largest particle physics laboratory in the world and probably the most important and well-known scientist in the world.<\/p>\n

It was she who announced in 2012 the first observation of a particle compatible with the Higgs boson<\/strong>, also commonly called the “God particle”<\/i>. In 2013 she was awarded the prestigious Enrico Fermi Prize by the Italian Physics Society.<\/p>\n

The particle of God<\/em><\/strong> is a “commercial” name, invented by a publishing house in 1993. It is certainly singular that Fabiola Gianotti is linked to a particle with this name, given that the scholar can be indicated as the most relevant Italian example<\/strong> of the reconciliation between science and religion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the new interview: \u00abA Mind Behind Physical Laws\u00bb.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

On 8 March 2021<\/strong> she was interviewed on the radio program Il mix delle cinque<\/i>, hosted by Giovanni Minoli and Fabiola Gianotti<\/strong>, spoke about the relationship between science and faith<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When asked if scientific research has brought her closer or away from the idea of the existence of God<\/strong>, the scientist replied: \u00abI think that science and religion are two domains separated, do not contradict each other<\/strong>. Science will never be able to prove the existence or not of God. It is a situation of parallelism, of different approaches\u00bb<\/i>.<\/p>\n

But from your personal point of view? Here<\/strong> is Fabiola Gianotti’s answer:<\/p>\n

\n

\u00abWhat I see in nature, its order, its simplicity, its elegance brings me closer<\/strong> to the idea of an intelligent and ordering Mind. Because nature is beautiful and even the fundamental laws of physics are extremely and aesthetically beautiful, simple, essential and almost self-motivating. Yes, I believe in God<\/strong>\u00bb<\/i>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
