he 2008 Herzberg Lecture took place November 4, 2008 at Carleton University. Rolf-Dieter Heuer has been designated as the next Director General of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. He has contributed to the study of electron positron interactions, the development of experimental techniques, and the construction of large detector systems. Despite great success, many key questions in particle physics and cosmology are unanswered. In particular, some 95% of the Universe consists of unknown dark matter and dark energy. Particle physics is about to enter the Terascale, providing a deeper understanding of the Universe and possibly dramatically changing our view of the world. With the start-up of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN this year, we expect revolutionary results explaining the origin of matter, unraveling the nature of dark matter and providing glimpses of extra spatial dimensions or grand unification of forces and hints on dark energy.
