Scientists Look to Recreate Big Bang
By Lee Speigel - AOL News
(Nov. 5) -- Talk about a trip back in time. Scientists have always wondered what it was like at the moment of and immediately after the creation of the universe, generally known as the Big Bang. Soon, they may find out. By using the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator -- the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC -- researchers will attempt to create, essentially, mini-Big Bangs that will help them study matter that once existed almost 14 billion years ago. OK, if this all sounds a bit heady -- especially for those of us who wonder how we're going to get by until the next paycheck ...
Large Hadron Collider Gets 'Intimate' With New Physics Experiments
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Sept. 22) -- Big news from the so-called "Big Bang machine" today: Proton beam collisions produced separate particles that flew away from one another but remained "intimately linked," according to scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), who observed the effect in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest, most powerful atom smasher, located near Geneva, Switzerland. "Now we need more data to analyze fully what's going on, and to take our first steps into the vast landscape of new physics we hope the LHC will open up," said spokesman Guido ...
Scientists Seek an Even Bigger Atom Smasher
By John O. Membrino - AOL News(July 26) -- Physicists responsible for the record-setting atom smasher that helped researchers move closer to understanding the origins of the universe earlier this year now say they're going to need a bigger bang. Scientists meeting in Paris today at the International Conference on High Energy Physics unveiled plans for a new particle supercollider they say is the next step in unlocking the secret to the most basic elements of matter. Their aim is to construct a 31-mile tunnel called the International Linear Collider, at a cost of more than $12.8 billion, The Associated Press reported. The ...
Atom Smasher Smashes Energy Record
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(March 19) -- From broken down to record breaking, the Large Hadron Collider -- the world's largest, most expensive particle accelerator -- just achieved yet another milestone on the quest to discover the secrets of the physical universe. Today, scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, proudly announced they had circulated the highest energy particle beams ever produced by humans around the LHC, and on their first attempt, no less. "It was incredible. I really didn't expect it to go," said Mike Lamont, the head of LHC machine operations, in a video ...
Resolve to Be the Warmth of the World
By Christine Wicker - Politics DailyI grew up Southern Baptist, which means my childhood was spent believing in the Big Man with a plan. He had it all in control. Having believed heart and soul in the kind of God that science has been steadily destroying for more than 200 years makes me a kind of throwback in the academic, scientific world where I now live. I still grieve a loss of innocent faith that more modern people hardly feel at all. ...
Apocalypse Soon? God Machine Restarts Amid End-of-World Concerns
By Sharon Weinberger - AOL NewsKeystone / AP Rolf-Dieter Heuer, right, the Director General of CERN, spoke at a press conference in Switzerland Monday to discuss the restarting of the Large Hadron Collider since its failure and subsequent shutdown over a year ago. (Nov. 23) - It's been linked to fears of the apocalypse, associated with terrorism and foiled by a piece of bread, but on Friday, the world's largest and arguably most important international science project sprang back to life. And -- at least at the time of this writing -- the world has not come to an end. The Large Hadron Collider, a particle beam ...
