High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Terrestrial Physics is a sculpture by American artist Jim Sanborn which includes a full-scale working particle accelerator. It will be displayed publicly in June 2010 as part of Denver's Biennial of the Americas. Terrestrial Physics involves a polished aluminum sphere that is attached to a cylindrical glass tube coupled with rings of copper. The sculpture is able to generate a 1 million volt potential difference using a built-in Van de Graaff generator. The work was inspired by what followed from the unexpected report on 26 January 1939 by the physicists Niels Bohr and Enrico Fermi, invited speakers at the Fifth Washington Conference on Theoretical Physics, of the discovery of nuclear fission in Berlin by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann and its interpretation by Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch.
