The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - The Big Bang Experiment

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator .
It is expected to address some of the most fundamental questions of physics, advancing the understanding of the deepest laws of nature.
The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as deep as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border nearGeneva, Switzerland.
This synchrotron is designed to collide opposing particle beams of either protons at an energy of 7 teraelectronvolts (7 TeV or 1.12 microjoules) per nucleon, or lead nuclei at an energy of 574 TeV (92.0 µJ) per nucleus (2.76 TeV per nucleon).
The term hadron refers to particles composed of quarks. The Large Hadron Collider was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) with the intention of testing various predictions of high-energy physics,
including testing for the existence of the hypothesized Higgs boson and of the large family of new particles predicted by supersymmetry.
It was built in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries, as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories.

I simply love the idea that the Universe must be, at some level, made up of indivisible parts. If you knew what those pieces were, and you understood how those pieces fit together, you could pretty much build anything you want. I'd call that the ultimate cosmic Lego set.

And therein lies a fundamental question.

When someone funds the search for exactly this (fiscally pointless) information to the tune of billions of dollars, you can easily predict what it is they are hoping to build.

Brian Cox is a very good presenter. This is quite an educational programme. I enjoyed it.

the only thing it accomplishes is putting a lot of money in a lot of people's pocket, I may be wrong, it may pop popcorn

Useless piece of equipment.

Is everybody aware that they're trying to make Anti matter so we can join own rightful place in the stars? Very exciting, just be careful with the black science...

Good vid. What keeps coming to mind is the line - "EXCELLENT! ! !".

[Eric O.]

If time and matter exist then by creating extremely small black holes, then ie: It will take longer to absorb matter due to the black holes size, evolution takes long periods of time to evolve, thus meaning to create anti matter it will take a longer period of time, and last we could be creating extremely small black holes that in a *Extinction Level Event* will take more then 3 billion years to consume something 1,000,000 x's its size.
