UPDATED: Finding Out The Truth Of The Universe By Recreating The Big Bang

The gargantuan ATLAS particle detector is seven stories tall. Physicists hope to use it to answer fundamental questions about mass, “dark matter” and perhaps even discover extra dimensions to space-time. CERN

Finding Out The Truth Of The Universe By Recreating The Big Bang — Bringing Creation and Evolution Together – by Catherine Morgan.

I have always been interested in science, particularly in Quantum Physics. So, this story is extremely exciting to me. In just a few months, we may soon understand exactly how the universe began. I have put together several articles and videos that I think you will find very interesting, and I will continue to update this post as new information becomes available. This is the largest and most expensive experiment ever to be done, and the information here does not require you to be a scientist to understand. I hope you find it as interesting and exciting as I do.

ATLAS is a particle physics experiment that will explore the fundamental nature of matter and the basic forces that shape our universe. The ATLAS detector will search for new discoveries in the head on collisions of protons of extraordinarily high energy. ATLAS is one of the largest collaborative efforts ever attempted in the physical sciences. There are 1800 physicists (Including 400 students) participating from more than 150 universities and laboratories in 35 countries. Part One:

What would be the benefit of discovering these new objects to our lives ? We do not know. The idea of finding out more about the physical world is just to deepen our knowledge. Roentgen did not know whether he was doing anything good when he played with vacuum tubes, but as soon as he saw his newly-discovered x rays were able to provide an image of the structure of thick objects, an application was instantly found: a arm bone was fixed after x-raying it just months after the discovery. With supersymmetric particles it might be harder to find an easy application, but science cannot stop… — read full post
