The Large Hadron Collider is the largest and most complex scientific instrument ever built and the highest energy particle accelerator in the world. The accelerator is located 100 m underground and runs through both French and Swiss territory. ( 27km circumference)
Year 2008 marks the culmination of 20 years of work by over 8000 scientists thousands of engineers, technicians and support staff from over 80 different countries.
some critics say that this could create a black hole and could be the end of the world..
the first attempt starts on the 10th september 2008..!(just a test run, the main collision with full power will happen in end of october)

I’m speechless. This is my first time watching this video. That’s not going to happen, is it? I mean why do they have to do that?

I did not know of the existence of this – amazing. I will be following the progress of the experiments. Thanks for posting about it.

Thanks a lot for bringing the issue. I read yesterday that LHC was shut down for maintenance for 2 months because the temperature of 2 magnets rise up. I wish this experiment to shed lights over new scientific explorations.

It will be interesting reading about the experiments this new instrument will be used for. Science and technology grows these days by such infinite leaps and bounds. A testament to the brain power given to us.
