A time-traveller arrived at an experiment dedicated to studying the Big Bang and the mysteries of the Universe recently and a log of his travel is now available.

John Barrowman, aka time-traveller Captain Jack from BBC television series Doctor Who and Torchwood visited CERN -- the world's largest physics experiment. At CERN, scientists are preparing the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), an experiment that will recreate conditions last seen fractions of a second after the Big Bang in order to understand how the Universe came to be as it is today.

  • Rob if everybody was like you we would still be living in caves thank god there are people like CERN that can bring us into the future

  • he is EVERYWHERE! (what is he trying to do, set some kind of record?)

    g, love him though... gorgeous guy & fun (and he was in switzerland, yay!)

  • @abradras Yes :) That's what I was trying to explain. There's no way they could create a black hole with the LHC :)

  • @BlancheRoth ehh.. 1) for creating a black hole is huge amount of matter needed. so big that death star falls in to your self. there is no mass in lhc , they playing with couple particles. 2) and they notice everything , you know ..those damn particle detectors around.

  • That was seriously awesome!!!! I totally loved it!!!

  • i want your babies....my name is Julian too :D

  • i love how scott is shy that what makes john and scott such a great couple!

  • Is that Scott there at 2:37 and onward? I swear, he gets hotter every time I see him, it's a shame he's so shy

  • There's nothing coming out of a black hole. That's why it's black. Not even light can escape from it. And according to the relativtiy theory nothing can be faster than light.

    And even if they create a black hole we would never notice. The time slows down so much we'd feel like we never reach the event horizon.

    (sorry for my poor english)

  • We are gonna find out soon when they Run the machine :)

    I hope is not a painfull death if something bad happens...

    What about if some strange shit come out the black hole???

  • I'd feel better if they knew exactly what they are doing but they are sooting in the dark to a certain extent. A machine that powerful has to be treated with caution. It may be harmless,,,but maybe isn't good enough. Even a small chance of something going wrong is too much to risk. They are talking about creating mini-big bangs. What if Big bangs only come in one size,,,BIG. Nobody can be completely sure,,,IT's an EXPERIMENT, but what are they experimenting with? They don't even know yet. Peace.
