Cern Film On The Birth Of The Universe

CERN documentary film on the birth of the universe Deccan Herald, 10th December, 2009 Srishti Vjyana seeks similarities between science and scriptures Bangalore, India: Bharat Gyan, a research compilation initiative Chennai-based couple along with an Indian scientist from CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research) are in the process of producing a film - Srishti Vjyana - that seeks to show similarities between scientific findings and whats written in Indian scriptures about the origin of the universe. The film will be ready for screening 2010. "We are trying to find parallels that will corroborate Indian scriptures and mythology related to universe with science. Its quite a wonder to know that much of knowledge about the birth of universe already exists in India. And, this I find to be very intriguing," said Dr Archana Sharma, an Indian physicist and a permanent staff member of CERN, Switzerland. "We believe that perhaps the instruction manual of the Universe is present in our scriptures. However, it is written in a language that not many know of. For instance, Rig Veda written 3000 BC questions the birth of universe and also provides answers," said K Hema Hari, one of the founders of Bharat Gyan. Bharat Gyan has just set up a full-fledged studio in the Art of Living premises in the City. It intends to produce a film and book on the knowledge of India every month. Hari also revealed plans to set up a museum displaying modern and traditional viewpoints about the universe and serve as a platform for both people from both viewpoints to interact. Two weeks ago, CERN had announced that it had succeeded in creating the Large Hydron Collider (LHC), which could create as much energy as was present when the Big Bang is said to have occurred 13.7billion years ago (a figure that has been consistent for the last 20 years). "The machine will start showing results only in another two years. You should understand that it took us 20 years to build the machine, which is 27 km in circumference and 100 metres below the earth surface," said Dr Sharma. She explained that the LHC grind will also revolutionise the Internet. "We are still working on it. In another two decades, a person can plug the computer at any plug point and can access data," said Dr Sharma, who added that the Internet was created at CERN to share data within the organisation. Meanwhile, India, which is an observer state at CERN, may soon become an associate state with some flexible benefits.
