Launching The Time Machine

Technology news and updates blog article

19th September 2008

On September, 10 the Big Hadron Collider, was launched, the world's largest particle accelerator, controlled by the CERN labs. The project named in the modern culture “time machine” and “end of the world machine” long before the launch, despite all the assurances of physicists that the collider is safe for the planet.
The research complex at the cost of £5 billion should give answers to a number of key questions of modern science: physics with the help of it hope to simulate the universe state in the first moments after the Big Bang; to find the Higgs boson, and perhaps even to make a short formation of the black hole.
In the Large Hadron Collider the first proton beam has been launched, which during the day passed on the entire 27-km ring of the collider. Energy injection amounted to 450 gigaelectron-volts. In general, it is assumed that protons will be accelerated up to 14 teraelektron-volts.
The complete experiment is scheduled for early 2009.
