Today the Great Ring has awakened from its long slumber. And in late March it will be shining. Shall we face some Nature’s deep secret or fail again? I don’t know! But let’s try! To love is to risk not being loved in return Nature smiles with dawn and laughs in flowers. |

European collider begins its subatomic exploration
European collider begins its subatomic exploration
By Dennis Overbye New York Times Posted: 03/30/2010 07:10:23 AM PDT Updated: 03/30/2010 08:58:51 PM PDT 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) :
