The Big Bang Machine
Professor Brian Cox visits Geneva to take a look around Cern's Large Hadron Collider before this vast, 27km long machine is sealed off and a simulation experiment begins to try and create the conditions that existed just a billionth of a second after the Big Bang.
Cox joins the scientists who hope that the LHC will change our understanding of the early universe and solve some of its mysteries.
News: Not to be thwarted by a few annoying speed bumps on the road to discovery, CERN scientists have successfully slammed accelerated protons together inside the giant Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in order to re-create conditions within the universe just moments after the Big Bang.
With two streams of particles travelling at close to the speed of light and moving around the giant ring-shaped accelerator in opposite directions, attending scientists at the CERN facility just outside Geneva created the very first collision at a little after 1100 GMT – causing widespread celebration amongst those who witnessed it.
"This opens the door to a totally new era of discovery,” enthused CERN's director of research Sergio Bertolucci via a video relay from the LHC facility. “It is a step into the unknown where we will find things we thought were there and perhaps things we didn't know existed."

Brian Cox's mission to dumb down science.
Jesus made the universe!!
You have been duked, the CERN collider is not for discovering new particle components, they are attempting to make heavy elements, vastly heavier than what’s listed on the periodic tables. They are doing this to find new properties and characteristics to develop new technology. Their recent claims that they discovered the god particle (higgs boson) is part of the ongoing propaganda to redirect our attention. We should all be very afraid of what they are after, and how they will use any new elements that they create. Deception is always the hallmark of depraved intentions…
The Higgs-Boson?

they found it!! check BBC news website
String theory explains time before the big bang,time is infinite acording to string theory.I have problems with this as everything has to have a start and end,or is my interlect so poisoned by the education i recived from the 70s to the 90s that i have been crippled by the poor educational establishments my mind was formed in.I think the later is more realistic a child can learn anything quickly hard wired into a childs synapses,the educational system forced religion and laws into a solid state leaving the mind injured.I am so happy the internet is around and educational documentarys available for the next generations to expand mentaly.The national educational system is still closing minds as the basic teachers do not have the ability to teach at this level in a state school.
Cox said that before the big bang there was no space. That's not possible.
I've been following this thing since they started building it, and anyone who says this is a waste of money can go back to the dark ages and die of bubonic plague while they pray to their invisible best friend to save them. Oh my science! Did i just bash religion? Yeppers! Never pass up the chance to point your finger and laugh at mass insanity.
Didn't Nostradamus say something about, if you live in or around the area known as Geneva, run...?
it sounds like a nuclear bomb ha ha ha .
its good to go find out what is going on about Big Bang. but dont we have enough technology to feed people and make them house to live?
I love this stuff, but i dont get it why they have to spend all this money to end up to war.
this thing must of took LONG to make :3
Ok NASA and particle physists are cozying up to one another because they are finding that particles act very similar to macroscopic objects in space. Now if they can "recreate" the big bang by COLLIDING particles, then it is quite posssible that the big bang is actually the "big smash" instead. I always thought the idea of the big bang coming out of a singularity didn't make any sense, considering that an object that is infinitely small and infinitely dense will also possess infinite gravitational force, and thus CANNOT expand. So I propose the big smash, the collision of two object in primordial space, of such immense size and scope, that they are beyond human perception. This also suggests the existance of TIME before the big bang. At one time man thought earth was the universe, then the solar system was all there was, then we discovered our galaxy, then we discovered other galaxys which became part of a whole, so now we view the universe as a big place full of galaxies. As history has shown us, our univers is most likely one of many universes in an even larger cosmic system.
Rob, not to disrespect you by ANY means. But have you ever met an evolutionist professor? They find/change facts to fit their theories, are some of the most egotistical sob's on the planet, and immediately call anyone who believes in a higher power as; uneducated, ignorant, lied to, and a plethora of other degrading things.
I just wait desperately in all news concerning CERN,but nowadays not much of media coverage on the project,when I was young we had those Vedic books in my home and I used to read abt 'Bindu Sphota',and I use to dismiss it as some figment of imagination,and now Ithink that LHC will prove that if really this BIG BANG(Bindu Sphota) reallly existed or not
Wish i could see that in person
ignorance is mental abuse
PHILIP VAN DER MUDE, unlike religon scince assumes nothing and seeks fact's also unlike religion scince has no ego it simple state's what it finds proven theory is with out bia's also unlike religion scicence never clams to know or not know if a creator exsit's the simple reason for this is no REPEATABLE method has been descovered to prove OR disprove any creator.
PS big ups to kero, the other thing about this extremely expensive machine is it brings some of the worlds brightest and most intelligent scientists to one place and not just physicist’s, the moon landing is and will never compare to what is going on at cern.
the beauty of science is it does not assume right or wrong, it simply investigates and experiments. This machine is simply away to generate repeatable experiments and prove that what we know is infinitely small compared to what we can still learn.
Wow, some really stupid comments here. The LHC is not set to run 1 experiment. It is a particle accelerator with many applications, however the real headline grabber (they help to get funding btw) was the Higgs.
This device is literally the single most complex instrument ever made by man so please don't get upset if it takes a few years to get it up and running correctly (not to mention at full capacity).
Even then, teams will be vying for time with the machine and as many have pointed out, these experiments can take months, if not years to complete. Then someone has to sort through the data and make sense of it all....
Good things come to those who wait etc etc...
As someone said, if you think this is a waste of money you clearly haven't seen many defense budgets. This is furthering humanity. War is destroying it.
Brian Cox is teaching it :)
PHILIP VAN DER MUDE
Time for your med's ?
the goal of science as i understand it is to help humanity , Correct? A worthy ideal touted for ages actually back to the birth of sciences in Realegions ...hmmmm intersting ( confusion is just divided atention study the arts of warfare , confuse and conquer the vidence trail of the USER of the majority , keep us enteratined was the gifted advise to the ruling class form the teachers of ROME)
" and we will be like gods ...." promised EVE of myth the story details are nothing but the concepts important , In Unvierse time the last 5k years of huan science is nothing , but EGO when human felt it could control nature and thus bring about CITy only in few short sighted centurys be destroyed by that whihc it claimed to control, be god over !
CERN is just good entertainment , i too was dazzled by science most of my life then i realized something my Grand father taught me sublty , a man of privildge the silver spoon folows us for centurys ( ending for me with his reble daughter sort of ) but his driver would take us out fishing ,,, leaving the world behind and we would feed from the bounty of the wilderness ...
and recently i realized ... i honeslty can not FEED MYSELF ... not that i need to but i have lost the ablitly to ! Over just a few short years of worshipping the new diviity of science , i became dependant like the opium eaters of Eygpt and Amenhotep4's time ... addicted dependant on the sciences of the age , whihc are only EGO . To think we will ever be anything more tha nothing ( NO 1 THING ) ... to in fi nite whatever .
given the vidence trail of the eefets of humanitys ego .... throwing rocks in the air where not real changes have occured ...we allow 10,000'sa of thousands of humans to die needlessy in w rold of pleanty to indulge our ENTERATINMENT and ego ..... so no changes , the rock will fall! the lie of the EVE spirit will bite us onece more ... how long we can create the illusion this time ? what 200 mor eyears 400 ? pass the PAZ ROMA 500 .... sure i am cool we can do that ( not ! )
so ,, ahhh to the HIGGs and the Boson creating a sysmetical garden out of the UNTHINKABLE toa , that a brain that can only cope with . A brain of about 2 gigs of data per second , to cope and appreciate ,,,, the choas of the forest is sustainable and beyond the 2 gigs to aprreciate , so we create formal gardens and call it better than nature , only to have in time anture take them once more back for the next culture to discover as history . but EVE againis proven wrong we are not gods just pyschopaths driven by selfish entertainments.
jose, I would say that because volcano and earthquekes happened ,in the worl all through it's history, it's probably not the LHC, but being as we might live in an infinate universe, that means there might be infinate possiblities, so I am not ging to rule it out.
