World?s biggest science experiment gets underway

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest particle accelerator ever built, will be switched on today (Wednesday, 10 September).

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) been constructed in a 16-
mile long circular tunnel under the Franco-Swiss border

Physicists from the University of Liverpool have been working on the construction of two of the four detectors in the LHC for more than a decade, working closely with engineers and scientists from around the world.

The LHC, 100m below ground, is the most powerful particle accelerator ever built and will seek answers to some of the most fundamental mysteries of the Universe.

PHYSICISTS at the University of Liverpool are excitedly monitoring the progress of the ?big bang? experiment they have been working on for 15 years.

oh great so Liverpool will get the blame for destroying the world next March :PDT_Xtremez_42:

I'd laugh if the the other end of the Black Hole actually came out of the Birkenhead dock exit of the tunnel...

Liverpool has always been blamed for most of the ills of the world hasn't it? So nothing new there then :)

Someone on tv asked one of the scientists 'why' and he couldn't give an answer :shock: Apparently it 'might' show a few extra dimensions, it 'might' help to find a cure for many diseases and it 'might' reveal the 'truth' about how the universe started! Too many unanswered questions if you ask me.

The universe started with a bang. We now have the bang within a bang theory that suggest there was a secondary event. If that holds true you may get the conditions for creating a black hole, but you wont find the God particle.
