Big Bang Experiment – Video

Scientists involved in a historic “Big Bang” experiment to begin this week hope it will turn up many surprises about the universe and its origins – but reject suggestions it will bring the end of the world.

The world’s most powerful particle accelerator will be launched on Wednesday (September 10, 2008) at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), based in Geneva. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is in an underground ring tunnel of 27 kilometres (17 miles) beneath the French-Swiss border.

Scientists will recreate conditions just after what was known as “The Big Bang” by colliding two beams of particles at close to the speed of light in a bid to understand the origins of the universe.

Critics say the $9 billion dollar project is a doomsday machine that could destroy the planet. They fear the experiment could generate black holes that could gobble up the earth – a theory CERN scientists reject.

  1. I am fully intrested to know about the things which are going in big bang experiment. please kindly send me information which is going on updately. thanking you

  2. you risked our lives

  3. It seems the first experiment is a success. Let us see what they will know about the universe now.

  4. i m interested to know abt the bigbang experiment so please send me the updated news of it and if any videos of the experiment.
    thanking u.

  5. All this money invested to see if the world came into existance without God – what a waste.

    Without going into a religious debate one thing’s for sure, this experiment won’t
    stop world starvation – how much did this cost? That’s a lot of food on they could have put on a few tables.

    Will it stop hurricanes, earthquakes or even cure the common cold? I don’t think so.

    Again we’ve been hoodwinked (by professionals) into believing that taxpayers money is well spent on an experiment to find out how we got here.

    Ok so we don’t die today – but maybe they are killing us softly?

  6. Mr T, I have the same feeling too. they spent around $9 billion dollars till now.

  7. selffish people risking everyones lifes

  8. risky project

  9. “understand the origins of the universe”…. will they really?

  10. PLEASE SEND ME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT BIG BANG PROJECT

  11. 21 October Is A Doom Day because the experiment could generate black holes that could gobble up the earth.

  12. I need your scientific
    information in due course
    because it is so nice to me
    Cheers!
    Mammo

  13. So, we are still alive, just like the clever guys said! I would like to see some of the results or even better no results maybe a result.
