<\/a>The infinitely small and infinitely big <\/strong>that interact to explain the universe, the application of discoveries such as the Higgs boson, in the medical, technological and social fields<\/strong>. Fabiola Gianotti<\/a>, the next director of the CERN (European Nuclear Research Centre.) of Geneva<\/strong>, spoke about this on 15 February in Loppiano<\/a>, before an audience of 800 people among which were scientists, enthusiasts of the scientific world, artists, friends, families and about 200 secondary school students.<\/p>\nIn short, it seems that science has once again become fashionable in 2015, <\/strong>year<\/strong> in which people are still beset by the economic crisis, but are likewise in search of \u201cinfinite spaces that re-focus on what we are, our dignity, and mission in life,\u00bb one of those in the audience said. The merit certainly goes to scientists like Gianotti, but also to events like the awarding of the Prize, \u201c<\/strong>Renata Borlone<\/a>, woman of dialogue.\u201d<\/strong> It was an event of great educational values, where faith and culture intertwined to bring about moments of personal and social growth.<\/p>\n Dr. Giannotti received innumerable messages <\/strong>of congratulations, among which was that from Maria Voce<\/a>: \u00abThe Renata Borlone Cultural Association and Sophia University Institute<\/a> (IUS) join in the general acclaim, underlining in a particular way, the values that inspire Dr. Giannotti\u2019s life as a woman and scientist.\u00bb The Focolare President stressed \u201cthe kinship of ideals and objectives of these two figures\u201d<\/strong> (Gianotti and Borlone), though in diverse fields.<\/p>\n \u00abThe Higgs boson is considered as the site that gives rise to all the mass of particles in the universe \u2013 affirmed Lida Ciccarelli<\/strong>, postulator of the cause for the beatification of Renata Borlone \u2013 Renata too was fascinated, not only by science but by all that regards humanity, and had found that site, that field which had given meaning to her life and her daily existence: God. And just as the scientist moves to lift the veil of mystery surrounding the world of science \u2013 she continued \u2013 she had found in God the revelation of the \u201cother\u201d who asks for love, acceptance, comprehension, and sharing of joys and sufferings, with a human heart. She lived in this divine space and those whom she encountered found a renewed dignity in discovering that they are sons of God.\u00bb<\/p>\n
