Now you can experience the wonders of physics first-hand on an action-packed European tour: all whilst breathing in history around each corner!
The lucky students who experienced this Physics tour at Saint Kentigern College came back with hands on knowledge about physics in action…this tour isn’t just for students though…we know a lot of adults that dream of an experience like this.
The Scientific Revolution in 16th- to 17th-century Europe saw new ideas and discoveries which departed from previous Greek conceptions and traditions; making Europe the effective birthplace of modern science, thanks to the works of Descartes, Galileo, Christiaan Huygens, Isaac Newton, Gottfried Leibniz and later Albert Einstein!
From Palais de la Découverte (Discovery Palace) in Paris to a full day CERN visit where we can see INSIDE the world’s largest particle physics laboratory. Our tour of the Centre for Research in Plasma Physics (CRPP) includes the Tokamak; the most advanced concept for a thermonuclear fusion reactor, which is then followed up by a guided tour of the Solar Power Plant of Mont-Soleil and Power Plant Gösgen-Däniken. We actually can’t explain all that is included in our Physics tours; the list is simply too long.
We encourage you to get a deeper understanding of the nature of physics firsthand in some of Europe’s leading centres for scientific research! Give us a Call.

The eight toroid magnets can be seen surrounding the calorimeter that is later moved into the middle of the detector. This calorimeter will measure the energies of particles produced when protons collide in the centre of the detector.
