The Large Hadron Collider is the largest and most complex scientific instrument ever built and the highest energy particle accelerator in the world. The accelerator is located 100 m underground and runs through both French and Swiss territory. ( 27km circumference)

Year 2008 marks the culmination of 20 years of work by over 8000 scientists thousands of engineers, technicians and support staff from over 80 different countries.
some critics say that this could create a black hole and could be the end of the world..
the first attempt starts on the 10th september 2008..!(just a test run, the main collision with full power will happen in end of october)
for more info folow the link.

Geneva, 7 August 2008. CERN1 has today announced that the first attempt to circulate a beam in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be made on 10 September. This news comes as the cool down phase of commissioning CERN's new particle accelerator reaches a successful conclusion. Television coverage of the start-up will be made available through Eurovision. The LHC is the world's most powerful particle accelerator, producing beams seven times more energetic than any previous machine, and around 30 times more intense when it reaches design performance, probably by 2010. Housed in a 27-kilometre tunnel, it relies on technologies that would not have been possible 30 years ago. The LHC is, in a sense, its own prototype. Starting up such a machine is not as simple as flipping a switch. Commissioning is a long process that starts with the cooling down of each of the machine's eight sectors. This is followed by the electrical testing of the 1600 superconducting magnets and their individual powering to nominal operating current. These steps are followed by the powering together of all the circuits of each sector, and then of the eight independent sectors in unison in order to operate as a single machine. By the end of July, this work was approaching completion, with all eight sectors at their operating temperature of 1.9 degrees above absolute zero (-271°C). The next phase in the process is synchronization of the LHC with the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) accelerator, which forms the last link in the LHC's injector chain. Timing between the two machines has to be accurate to within a fraction of a nanosecond. A first synchronization test is scheduled for the weekend of 9 August, for the clockwise-circulating LHC beam, with the second to follow over the coming weeks. Tests will continue into September to ensure that the entire machine is ready to accelerate and collide beams at an energy of 5 TeV per beam, the target energy for 2008. Force majeure notwithstanding, the LHC will see its first circulating beam on 10 September at the injection energy of 450 GeV (0.45 TeV). Once stable circulating beams have been established, they will be brought into collision, and the final step will be to commission the LHC's acceleration system to boost the energy to 5 TeV, taking particle physics research to a new frontier. 'We're finishing a marathon with a sprint,' said LHC project leader Lyn Evans. 'It's been a long haul, and we're all eager to get the LHC research programme underway.' CERN will be issuing regular status updates between now and first collisions. Journalists wishing to attend CERN for the first beam on 10 September must be accredited with the CERN press office. Since capacity is limited, priority will be given to news media. The event will be webcast through http://webcast.cern.ch, and distributed through the Eurovision network. Live stand up and playout facilities will also be available. A media centre will be established at the main CERN site, with access to the control centres for the accelerator and experiments limited and allocated on a first come first served basis. This includes camera positions at the CERN Control Centre, from where the LHC is run. Only television media will be able to access the CERN Control Centre. No underground access will be possible.

  • And the main reason are doing these experiment to find how the bing bang happened, check it in google how long the diameter of the tube is very thick tube and they claim our worls will be destroyed not sure

  • yes, and this is located between it surounds all the way from france to switzerland and i think 8 more countries want to join it in europe. 7 scientist are working on it and they said it will create 9 new dimensions very powerfull and will use a lot of electricity run this.

  • i know is vey interesting see my other videos with more science

see all

  • What is the Carbon footprint of two coliding protons? Do this experiment in any way contribute to the global economic colapse and energy shortage?

  • this is soo scary.........

  • so in other worlds, they're creating a mini universe? =D cool

    (somebody's gonna call me stupid xP)

  • Bitchin`

  • @LegendKiller252 Just one last thing... I wish I could meet up with you to show you some of the stuff that this experiment has already given us and is showing signs of giving us. I don't usually get into debates on YouTube because the asynchronous and limited communication means leads to clumsiness and misinterpretation. For this reason I'm going to leave you to your own devices on this but you are wrong. I'm sure there's someone local to you that can explain the terms you mentioned? Good luck!

  • @LegendKiller252 I do disagree with you. Can I ask you, and the regular peeps like you, to do me one favor. Please research this, research what particle and quantum physics has given us so far. If you just spend a couple of hours, you don't need to know the science, you don't have to understand how these things have come about but please just read up on this stuff. I can't change your mind in these limited character statements so let the evidence change/open your mind. Peace.

  • @BonseBalm ..i understand its hard for you to agree ..its like you telling me Muhammad Ali wasnt the gretest of all time...Yoo would need good evidence to support that ..i believe iv given enough to support that outside the science lab(the regular peeps like me) this is a big waste of time ,and not benificial to us right now

  • @BonseBalm ..basicly meaning to find out about the universe..nothing has been or will be mentioned about using this machine to help the existance of life on this planet.. it about figuring out "out of this world matters"

    you know more about this then me ,so you tell me what this machine will ..not could ..but will do to change the problems we face now ,not in 100 yrs(i reserched that also..CERN scientists said that about the machine)

  • @BonseBalm lol my science teacher,im 30 yrs old ha sorry for my attitude ,iv done a little reserch myself and the main 3 purposes of the machine are

    ."Is supersymmetry, an extension of the Poincaré symmetry, realised in nature, implying that particles have supersymmetric partners"

    . "What is the nature of the dark matter that appears to account for 23% of the mass of the universe"

    and finaly ..Physicists hope that the LHC will help answer some of the fundamental open questions in physics
