European collider begins its subatomic exploration

After 16 years and $10 billion, there was joy in the meadows and tunnels of the Swiss-French countryside Tuesday: The world's biggest physics machine, the Large Hadron Collider, finally began to smash subatomic particles together.

After two false starts due to electrical failures, protons whipped to more than 99 percent of the speed of light and to record-high energy levels of 3.5 trillion electron volts apiece raced around a 17-mile underground magnetic track outside Geneva. They crashed together inside apartment-building-sized detectors designed to capture every evanescent flash and fragment from microscopic fireballs thought to hold insights into the beginning of the universe.

The soundless blooming of proton explosions was accompanied by the hoots and applause of scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, which built the collider. Among their top goals are finding the identity of the dark matter that shapes the visible cosmos and the strange particle known as the Higgs boson, which is thought to imbue other particles with mass.

Rolf-Dieter Heuer, director general of CERN, said Tuesday from Japan that the new collider "opens a new window of discovery and it brings, with patience, new knowledge of the universe and the microcosm."

Here is a nice presentation of the CERN's supercollider by Physicist Brian Cox (a very nice person) :

Good video Sarah, finally managed to watch it, as it wouldn't load before.

Wow Sarah that was fasinating! way over my head but fasinating!

Geezer · 04-12-2010, 09:30 PM

Ha! Ha! Sarah, you are an Attractive Female on a mostly male oriented forum. I think you can say and post just about anything you desire and no one will complain.

Huh? Sarah's video link is about her job - perfectly within the topic of this thread.
If Sarah gave a reason to complain, we would say something. (Preferably as PM.) So far, everything is good.

(We try to do our job free of preferential treatment.)

Thank you dear Mart, I hope to see you soon in our poetry group. I'm sure you have beautiful words to share with us (better than my little happy birthday to you...)
