Large Hadron Collider Runs Big Test, Doesn’t End World
September 10, 2008
Washington (dbTechno) - The Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle collider, turned on for the first time on Wednesday, completing a successful test, and not causing the end of the world to come in the process.
The first successful test was conducted on Wednesday when the Large Hadron Collider was turned on, and a beam of protons was shot around its tunnel.
The tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider, which spans for 17-miles, was filled with the beam.
The project is being headed up by CERN, of the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
Scientists at CERN were all smiles following the successful test, as the biggest science experiment in history can now continue.
Many believe that this experiment is going to reveal a lot about the history of our universe, and how it is made up. The Large Hadron Collider has the ability to re-create the effects of the Big Bang.
There were many fears before the Large Hadron Collider turned on, as CERN scientists were getting all kinds of threats, including death threats.
Many believed that once the experiment powered up, it could create a black hole that would end the world as we know it.
This is clearly not the case though, as the project is going strong,and our world is still here.
We are still a long ways away from it running at full power, but this today is a big step towards major future progress and discovery.
