At the very heart of the matter.

The elusive search for the so called god particle.

Deep in the underground bowels of the beautiful quaint French village of Crozet lies one of mankind’s most incredible engineering feats.

The Large Hadron Collider or LHC is one of the most advanced and definitely one of the boldest engineering feats ever attempted by man.

The world’s largest solenoid magnet will fit in the heart of the Compact Muon Solenoid CMS. The Compact Muon Solenoid and three other main detectors sit in the heart of this massive collider and have the potential to reveal elusive subatomic particles.

What an exciting world elementary and high school students’ live in potentially starting their educational lives as scientists and engineers collaborate to unlock the keys to the very foundation of the universe.

Amazing the Large Hadron Collider is absolutely amazing.

The Large Hadron Collider has the potential to literally crack and unlock the secrets of the universe or to create a super massive black hole that will swallow planet earth and mankind and eject us all from a super gigantic particle fountain like burned popcorn into the vast voids of space.

The CERN funded and managed project will shoot two beams of super subatomic particles called 'hadrons' – either protons or lead ions that will travel in opposing directions inside the circular accelerator, gaining momentum and energy with every lap.

Physicists will use the LHC to try and recreate the conditions just after the Big Bang, by colliding the two opposing beams head-on at ultra high energy. Teams of physicists from around the world will try and analyze the particles created in the collisions using special detectors in a number of extravagant experiments dedicated to the Large Hadron Collider.

If the physicists are successful at discovering the genesis particles which are the very foundation of our universe the implications for humanity could be mind boggling.

On November 30, 2009 CERN1’s Large Hadron Collider became the world’s highest energy particle accelerator, having accelerated its twin beams of protons to an energy of 1.18 TeV. This exceeds the previous world record of 0.98 TeV, which was held by the United States Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Tevatron collider which was set in 2001.

The Large Hadron Collider has now been restarted and CERN is now focused on delivering collisions to the LHC experiments. The first attempt to collide protons at 7 TeV or 3.5 TeV per beam is scheduled for March 30, 2010.

Start tuned for more updates on this amazing project.

CERN is operated by the following 20 European Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
