The Big Bang Machine


I am sure most of you have heard of this Large Hardon Collider used to try and understand what happened after the Big Bang by analysing particle collisions. It is insane how large the project is, cost up to 6.4 billion euros, 26km collider circumferance and so on!

BBC has a very nice introductionary section on this, I highly recommend it.

To be honest, I only read more about this project after watching that rap video, very good idea by the "rapper" who I am sure helped raise more attention to the project.

Hey Ali

If they recreate this bingbang ... wont it suck everything back into it and kill all of us?

Wohaa thanks for visitng my blog :D

It could very well happen, but CERN has done some testing and said there is nothing to worry about. I guess we'll know by 21st of October aye?

Would be better to donate the money to those that need it and get them to work and earn for themselves.. projects like these don't do anything apart from muft ki tension.. itne logon ko dara dia ke dunya hatam hoing :P

But glad you brought it up :)

Wakas wir: I dunno, I still think decent chunk of money has to be spent on breakthrough technologies like this. Also I didn't understand what you wrote, I presume its Urdu?
