Extreme Big Bang? End of the World?
The world’s largest particle accelerator complex, Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has been switched on last couple of hours ago. It is indeed a breakthrough, not only for the involved scientists but for the people in this world as well. LHC is to recreate a similar condition which exists just after the ‘Big Bang‘. LHC is developed under CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) and it is funded with approximately 6 Billion euro (USD 9 Billion). Wow, just imagine it. Probably Google also sponsored as well.
“With great power, comes with great responsibility“
This seems extremely risky if ones goes wrong direction. It might create a mini-blackhole instead during the collisions. But some scientists say that it can be ‘easiler’ decayed.
There will be a few steps or phrases. So, once the first beam is established, the next steps, taking place later in 2008, will be to accelerate and then collide two beams. Be sure to catch more news on CERN live, or BBC radio, or Guardian’s Big Bang Article. And video below descibes a good overview of this LHC experiment.
