Large Hadron Collider - Particle Collider Success
Large Hedron Collider - Particle Collider Success
Geneva, September 10, 2008 - Two beams of protons were fired around and underground ring in opposite directions using the Large Hedron Collider in a science experiment. Scientists believe it will be the next important step in understanding what makes the universe tick. It’s like a giant science fair project.
Scientists around the country were glued to their computer screens when at 10:26 am two white points flashed on the computer using the large Hedron Collider. The beams had journeyed clockwise to meet the ring and met. The physics or science experiment was a success. All scientists, both competitors and those who worked on the project (CERN) rejoiced together.
Five hours elapsed and they fired two more beams, using the large Hedron Collider, heading in counter clockwise direction for another success. So we now can smash components of atoms together. The eventual purpose is to fire beams that will recreate a time just post big bang which is still just a theory believed to have created our universe.
Another theory, that Atlantis once existed and blew itself up in an attempt similar to these experiments might cause some concern not only to the general population of earth, but especially those who have studied the believed history of the continent, Atlantis. Have we now just learned the science necessary to sink parts of the world as Atlantis once was (using the Large Hedron Collider)?
Would such a cataclysm be possible again, in our own time? Will we relive history? The scientists certainly were holding their breaths, waiting for either success or failure. A failure of unknown consequences. Will it be a giant science fair project gone wrong.
“My first thought was relief,” said Evans, a scientist involved in the project since 1984. “This is a machine of enormous complexity. Things can go wrong at any time. But this morning has been a great start.” A science fair project idea?
