When i first heard this experiment i got thrilled .It seemed to me a like a fiction.But it is science and true by its all means.I am not a scientist but have keen interest about science.To me if we able to succedd, i believe this will be the greatest finding of ever,even greater than the discovery of gravition.Because you will come to know the fundamental unit which create the universe,so subsequently all the other thing of universe.I am holding my breath till 21th october when the long waited collision take palce.It does not matter if this experiment fails, because at the end of the day humanity & human will wins.
Somewhere I read that the LHC is the modern world's equivalent of the pyramids. The person who said that meant, of course, that the LHC is an awe-inspiring wonder of modern science and engineering. Actually I think it's even more of a wonder than the pyramids. Unfortunately, my poetic nature reminds me that the pyramids were really gigantic tombs. I hope in the posts to this site, somebody can allay the lurking suspicion that the LHC could turn out to be the sort of Doomsday Machine that Kubrick was mocking in Dr. Strangelove. In other words, somebody explain to me in understandable terms why the LHC won't kill us all when the actuall start the collisions.
Answer for Warren ORourke: It won't kill us all because the collisions will be nowhere near as powerful as those going on all around the earth with high energy cosmic rays. We've not been swallowed up by a black hole created by any of those in the four and a half billion year history of the earth, so why would it happen when we make our own collisions?
tramendious effort of mankind using science to find out the god particles. it really proves the height of achievement made by man in the field of science and technology despite being protest from the opponent of human development.proud of the on going experiment. jai vigyan.
Thanks, Graeme! I think you are referring to collisions in the atmosphere between incoming cosmic rays and the swirling mass of molecules and atoms that make up the atmosphere. Does anyone have any numbers on the comparative energies between atmospheric collisions and expected LHC collisions? Are protons part of the cosmic rays? In other words, are atmospheric collisions equivalent to the expected collisions in the LHC?
Question for Albi: what does 'cunat' mean?
I have just read that atmospheric collisions usually generate energies between 1x10^7 eV and 1x10^10 eV. Extremely rarely collisions are detected at far greater energies. In the 1990's a collision was detected that measured out as 3x10^20 eV, that's at least thirty billion times more energy than the typical atmospheric collision. I haven't yet found any numbers on the collision energies of the LHC. Does anyone have those numbers?
This is such a dairing experiment! It is so complicated but scinetists know what they are doing. Some news chanals giving misknowledge about it. this is not right. We have to find new things.
