Bigbang

Hadron Collider to simulate ‘The Big Bang’ International scientists have successfully started an experiment which will recreate the conditions that followed the Big Bang. An enormous particle-smashing machine viz Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which is designed to smash protons together with cataclysmic force, will supposedly simulate the conditions at the time of the creation of the universe 15 billion years ago.

Amidst towering tension in the five control rooms at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, scientists shot a beam of protons clockwise around the 17-mile tunnel of the collider followed by another beam in the opposite, counterclockwise direction on Wednesday.The successful crossing of the finish line by the beams was indicated through flashing white dots on the control room screen. This experiment can potentially confirm or disprove the existence of a particle named the Higgs Boson which is thought to cause matter to have mass. The particle is named after Scottish scientist Peter Higgs who first proposed the existence of this particle in 1964. The LHC supposedly will be able to engineer 600 million collisions every second, with protons travelling at 99.99 percent of the speed of light. The resulting data recorded by the LHC will be transmitted to computers around the world for scientists to review.The experiment claims to explain with the help of these high-energy clashes what modern physics theory fails to explain.
