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.

The 3 people who disliked this... fundamental Christians

Oh wait I believe in science. Go Brian you rock physics

@frank0447 but still the war costs 4 trillion dollars. and its one of the most useless decisions the government made. this could tell us how the universe was made. this shit is fucking answering the most asked question in existence.

[frank0447]

@Itr0lledurMuM This is the most expensive science project ever built and it the cost was around the 8 billion dollar mark. U need that sort of money wen your looking for a particle that they dont know exist or not ie the so called GOD PARTICLE. And it was announced that they may have close evidence of the HIGGS BOSON PARTICLE.

@assassian250 it doesn't even cost half that much. this costs 8,000,000 not even close to how much the war costs dumb shit

dan brown brought me here

[assassian250]

@W4V3MAKER the u helped fund it, BITCH!

[W4V3MAKER]

@assassian250 The Large Hadron Collider was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research you fucking moron...

[assassian250]

this is why the us is in an 8,000,000,000,000 dollar debt!!

@hamerding My point is that starvation is a wider problem than what you are making out to be. Often countries starve due to oppressive governments. That's not a problem that can be solved by having money thrown at it, but a deeper societal issue.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Charity is good to an extent, but I guarantee you that if I divvied up the 5 trillion between all the starving people in the world they would either begin to starve soon after due to not having any source of income or different people would take their place. Handouts are not the way to fix starvation.
