The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) experiment led by Samuel Ting finally flew to space with shuttle Endeavour (CERN Courier). I had chances to meet Ting in person for three times when I was in Beijing, and I was impressed by his style of determination. In fact, one of the major motivation for me to pursue for Particle Physics is from his discovery of J/psi particle. As I had followed the news about the AMS during the past several years, I could understand the meaning of the flight especially for the last shuttle mission in NASA. As Ting said "... Unless you think that physics is the most important thing in your life, you should not do it. It takes passion, precision, patience."Monday, August 08, 2011
