On the way to California my friends and i got to talking and Mitchell starts talking about CERN. CERN stands for European Organization for Nuclear Research and they built a Large Hadron Collider. So the LHC is this huge particle accelerator and it was built so it can collide protons at a very high speed. CERN is doing this so they can confirm the existence of the Higgs Bonson which a missing link in the Standard Model and it explains how particles acquire its mass.
So they built this massive circular tube into the earth on the border of France and Switzerland and they sent the first protons into the tube on Sept. 10 2008. About 7,000 scientists from 80 countries have access and cost around 6.4 billion dollars. People are afraid that one day this will cause a black hole in the earth or destroy our world, but CERN says that there's no way any of those things will happen.
I wasn't aware of this until a couple days ago and it really got me thinking. What if something goes wrong with that experiment, could it only destroy Europe or will it destroy everything? These scientists have spent so much money and time into building this thing and it would really be devastating if something went wrong. This experiment is supposed to last for a few years so they can gather enough information. I wonder what they will find out if this really does work? Can they figure out if there are extra dimensions and if they can detect them? This project can open so many doors into the future and I'm just curious as to what they will find. Hopefully they don't blow us all up...
