LHC
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
The Large Hadron Collider; scoots beams of protons in opposite directions, around a tunnel at close to the speed of light, when it works. The ultimate aim is to drive particles head on at 14TeV (Teraelecton volts) to simulate the condition in the moments after the Big Bang.
Scientists hope they will see new subatomic particles in the resulting collision and get a new perspective into how the universe came into being, billions of years ago. The search is on to find a number of particles that are assumed to exist and which will, when identified, offer a step solution to the problems of physics and quantum mechanics. What is hoped for is evidence of the ‘Higgs Boson’ the particle that is theoretically the building block of matter. Or alternatively evidence in support for the other supposed sub atomic particle, the super-symmetrical particle (SUSY) that might itself lead to other composite sub atom particle – like the B-meson, vaguely conceivably as being responsible for the substance, if it has one, of dark matter. Also in this investigating it would be nice to offer and answer to the other unknown, what gives matter its mass?
I know it is a preposterous idea, but, what would be the response if after all the cost and effort into attempting to find the ultimate particle, the purported Higgs Boson, that the experiments were run and nothing was found. No ultimate particle. No residual energy, zip, nought, zero. Might it be seen as one of the most expensive wasted experiment of the age but one that had to be done? Or might it raise many more questions about what humans think is known about the fundamental laws of physics? Laws which are purely substance of theoretic construction and convenience, laws that then fall apart for the lack of that one, intrinsic, definable creating force that binds the constituent parts of matter together.
Now, the assumption is that scientist will detect evidence of what may have happened micro second after the Big Bang; the beginning of the universe and will, it is hoped, find evidence of a particle, however small or a cipher for it, (the ultimate particle / energy packet) to help coalesce the theories of physics and give understandable order to observation and complete the mathematically models for the mechanics of the universe... Without it, it does creates a conundrum i.e. if there is no ultimate building block of matter or energy and the BB came from out of nothing, as scientist currently are persuaded to believe, then all of this reality is nothing. It is an existence that is fundamentally built on illusion; yet one that is experienced by the limitation of humans awareness (as humans themselves are built out of this same nothingness) and there may never be an answer to what is the matter with matter? How is it; it is not what it is thought to be?
Alternatively, the fact that the universe seems to exist as is experienced in this material reality proves that matter can be somehow created out of nothing, hence the BB. Not a very satisfactory solution but one that still opens the inevitable imponderable, how in heaven did it all start, if it did?
For the moment all expectation are on hold as the LHC is slowly racked up to speed with another test run sometime in March and then the shut down for maintenance, having not as yet achieved the full 14TeV; which is to follow next year, so the danger of creating a black hole to consume all (of local space?) in the end is still open to worry for some. But, then maybe it is just might be the beginning, again?
