CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

A video giving a tour of the LHC (underground accelerator) at CERN. Measuring 27km in circumference, it will become the world's largest particle accelerator. The first beams are due for injection m...

All of your posts indicate to me that you are completely ignorant of particle physics.
And have entirely missed the value of supporting evidence.

The concept far from being 'flawed' has been amazingly successful over the last 50 years. And has vastly increased our understanding of matter and physics.
To deny that is futile, and ignorant.

Your reply indicated, to me, you REALLY don't get it, nor have much understanding of particle physics, quantum physics, or string theory. So I won't waste any more words on you. You are brain-locked into you system of beliefs and would make a very poor scientist.

I don't know but I have a bad feeling it's too complex and it will never work..

It already has been working well.

It has alread been operational, at 1.18 TeV per beam (previous record was 450 GeV per beam).

CERN undergoes an annual shutdown every year at the peak months of energy consumption (people heating their homes in the winter).

It will begin operation again on Feb 20/2010, at scaled up energies of 3.5 TeV per beam

when is this machine finish?

It is planned to run for 10 years or so, with an upgrade half way.

Yet the fact is that 'atom smashers' have been used and worked very well for decades.
You really don't seem to know what you are talking about.

You don't get what I'm trying to say, but it doesn't matter. They can smash protons together 'till the cows come home and it won't prove much of anything because the concept is fundamentally flawed. What would make the experiment more useful is to install neutron and helium detection units... I predict atom smashers will produce both... if the beam energy can be raised to a high enough level.

The concept has been extremely successful over the last 50 years.
And many new particles have been discovered in this way.

"neutron and helium" are pointless. We know those exist :)
And the LHC will produce neither, the energies are two high.
Nor would they want to.
