Large Hadron Collider Experiment

Large Hadron Collider Experiment. Randall Niles investigates the latest developments with the world's largest experimental machine.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) just outside Geneva, Switzerland, is one of the most profound scientific projects ever conceived. It is located between France and Switzerland and operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Scientists from around the world hope it will be fully operational in September 2009.

The ultimate goal of the LHC is to answer huge scientific questions about the sub-atomic world, the massive cosmos, and their finely-tuned relationship. Initially, its an attempt to observe theoretical particles that scientists hypothesize should be there. Ultimately, its an attempt to understand the creation of the cosmos and the powerful complexity and design that permeates the particle realm.

The Large Hadron Collider is the largest machine in the world. The two accelerator rings are five miles in diameter and nearly 17 miles in circumference. It is the worlds largest refrigeration system with 9,600 magnets cooled to -271 degrees centigrade. It has four large detectors weighing from eleven to 25 million pounds each, and two smaller detectors.

Large Hadron Collider Experiment - What is a Hadron?
Hadrons are sub-atomic particles interacting with the Strong Nuclear Force. What is the Strong Nuclear Force? It is the strongest force in the universe, yet only operates within the nucleus of an atom. It is the force mediated by fundamental particles called gluons, which hold together three fundamental particles called quarks, which make up a proton or a neutron. The Strong Nuclear Force diminishes in strength as quarks get closer and increases in strength as they get further apart. There is no known natural phenomenon strong enough to separate the three quarks. The second order effect for the Strong Nuclear Force is to hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom. This strong interaction is liberated during a nuclear reaction, such as what takes place in the sun, a nuclear bomb, or a nuclear reactor.

Large Hadron Collider Experiment - What is a Collider?
A collider is an underground, nearly circular, vacuum tube accelerator, in which charged particles move in opposite directions close to the speed of light. The particles are accelerated and kept at a constant energy by electromagnetic resonators. The particle beams are focused by quadrupole magnets and maintained in their orbit by dipole magnets. When the computers and detectors are ready, proton or lead ion beams are collided at four points where the two rings intersect. The two beams colliding from opposite directions doubles the energy released to an equivalent of 100,000 times the heat at the center of the sun! The detectors capture the moment of particle collision and the computers analyze the data for months and years to come.

The ultimate intent of the LHC is to help scientists understand the nature of matter at the moment the cosmos was created. Why did matter remain when matter and anti-matter annihilated each other in an energy transformation during the creation of the cosmos? What happened to the anti-matter? What makes up the 96% of the cosmos we now call dark matter and dark energy? Does the Higgs field (aka, Gods boson force carrier) that mysteriously gives mass to particles really exist? What about hidden, extra dimensions of space that quantum models show exist?

In a nutshell, the Large Hadron Collider experiment is a huge scientific effort to sneak a glimpse into the Mind of God at the moment of creation. Stay tuned! Please visit http://www.allaboutscience.org/large-hadron-collider-experiment.htm

You are just nuts. You see a bird and figure it must be from the future?

The collider project in Texas was shut down by people in congress who didn't feel like spending money on science. Unless you think they're from the future, too?

(please don't answer that question)

It's a JOKE, Manic -- Jeepers!

The time-traveling bird part... It's a joke, people... Happy New Year indeed.

old news waste of valuable time i cant belive i watched it but the LHC itself is a very intersting research study ispecially when computers are involved! recording data from grid activty is fun for the IT guy at least they gave computer gurus something to do on thier spare time myself included.

you ruined my night man really putt a downer on my buzz you halfwit dinner masher

This guy doesnt know shit what, he's talking about.

because we all know the bible is correct about everyting

[Soldi3rbg]

Who the hell is this guy and why is no one helping him overcome his mental condition?

[tommiatkins]

Keep reading about this everyone! (Adopts Skeptical Voice) Man has been trying to fly using so called "science" for millennia. Well, so far today in 1890, Man cant fly! God will not allow him to accend the heavens and Thats fully documented in the bible.

We might as well stop trying to progress and understand that , if a experimantal aircraft fails to fly. Its because GOD himself has sabotaged the progression. Just as he did at Bable. Trust in god ppl. He will make random stuff happen.

lol i've read on this one article that it wasn't a "time-traveling bird". it was actually someone who had a lunch break, ate in whatever part they were working on, and unfortunately dropped that piece of baguette.

[Hipster420]

It's working now!...wooot!

@ManicEightBall remove whatever has been stuck up your ass

or maybe it was requested :D
