If I put this is in simple plain English... This is a 27 km ring which built by bunch of scientists at CERN to test the big-bang theory. This will launch its first real experiment this Wednesday (10/09/08).
LHC particle accelerator complex, which intends to collide opposing beams of 7 TeV Protons.
"The collider is currently undergoing commissioning while being cooled down to its final operating temperature of approximately 1.9 K (−271.25 °C). Initial particle beam injections were successfully carried out on 8-11 August 2008, the first attempt to circulate a beam through the entire LHC is scheduled for 10 September 2008,and the first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled, on 21 October 2008."
This is capable to reach light speed when the protons enters the LHC.. after accelerating through series of outer rings. According to CERN scientists, in theory LHC is capable to produce elusive Higgis Boson.
The main motive behind the tests is to fill the gaps in the current standard model of physics. The scientist at CERN believes this test will answer physics mysterious such as,
* How elementary particle acquire properties such as mass
* Are there any extra dimensions
* The nature of the Dark Matter ?? ( ring any bells ??? Read "Northern Lights" by Philip Pullman.. Still no bells,....? well the movie Golden Compass...)
* Nature of the Big Bang.. How known particles born
So this is going to be an exciting week as we hope to make new strides in physics.. So I eagerly waiting to see the outcome of these tests..
All this project boast large distributed network known as LHC computing grid.. In theory project expected to generate 27 TB of raw data.. So the network consist of private and public internet fiber optic cable links to transfer this massive data..
Well there are some bunch of guys, think activating the LHC will end the earth.. They say by emulating a big bang, it'll create a black hole and it'll consume the earth from inside..
So anyways we have just 2 days to find out the truth :D.. I hope you'll enjoy those two days, you know just in case IF something goes wrong..
