admin Another great break through for mankind, the recent news of beginning of particle collider tests takes us to the next level of Science. The History of this project goes back to as late as 1984 when it first got incepted. This new break through can now open the mysteries of knowing the dimensions of Time and Space.
On Wednesday, 10th September 2008, The world’s largest Particle collider passed its first major tests by firing two beams of protons in opposite directions around a 17-mile underground ring. At around 10:26 am, two white dots flashed on the screens after series of trials. These flashing dots indicate that the protons had traveled a full length through the Large Hadron Collider. This Large Hadron Collider was built at a cost of whopping $3.8 Billion and is the history’s Biggest Science Experiment.
With this all the physicists have much more power to crush the atoms to know more details about it. The Organization carrying out this experiment is called “CERN”, by its french name. It began these tests by shooting protons through the tunnel in steps with first shot at 9:35 am. Another shot was fired about 5 hours later in anti clockwise direction.
Two beams would finally be fired in opposite directions in order to reproduce the effect of Big Bang, The theory behind creation of Universe. This collider is designed to make protons travel at the speed of light, zooming 11,000 times per second around the tunnel. These beams are fired through two hoses, speeding through the vacuum that is colder and emptier than outer space. The collide of protons would finally happen when both beam cross each other eventually and a set of large and heavy digital cameras would take pictures of the collision. The cameras have the capability of taking millions of shots per second.
These CERN experiments could reveal more about the Dark Matter and Anti matter. The hypothetical particle, called “Gods particle” could also be possibly detected. Though dangers involve in this expriment, particularly when the beam is fired at full power, there are high chances of the accelerator getting damaged.
Lets wait and see when the experiments are officially and properly carried out. No dates have been set yet, but possibly these expriments would resume within few months.
