The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)


The LHC that everyone is talking about, is set to go off on 10 September 2008. Critics say this will create a black hole that would bring an end to our world. Scientists say there is nothing to worry about because even if they were to create black holes, it would be microscopic in size. So microscopic that the energy produced from it would not be enough to even power a small light bulb. Either way, this video shows step by step what this LHC does and is. I was amazed at the sheer size of this machine - spanning across two countries.
