The Time Machine - Trailer

52' documentary in HD to be available for broadcasters on October 3rd, 2008, focusing on the last months of preparation of the LHC - the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva

21 October: Official inauguration of LHC at CERN

Just imagine 10,000 scientists from 85 different countries who for the past 14 years have been preparing a project that will have cost more than 6 billion dollars. Now imagine that this project is quite simply the largest machine ever built by man for the craziest scientific experiment of all time.

In a room cooled to 271°C, this machine will cause protons to collide, generating temperatures 100,000 times hotter than the sun. Researchers hope to recreate the conditions that existed just after the Big Bang in an attempt to discover new particles and perhaps revolutionize our understanding of the universe.

Eurovision TV owns the exclusive rights for the distribution of The Time Machine, a 52 minute HD documentary providing exclusive insight into the last few months of this gigantic project, describing the scientific mysteries that Man is trying to shed light on and the scale of the risks that this experiment is exposing us all to. An exciting human story in which physics questions the meaning of life as never before.

Following its public launch on September 10, the LHC will be officially inaugurated in Geneva on 21 October 2008 in the presence of 41 heads of State. This would be the ideal date to broadcast this programme. To date four EBU broadcasters have already signed up: TSR, RTBF, YLE and ERT. Many others have expressed their interest. This documentary is also supported by the European Commission DG Research.
