LHC Explained


This is as close to magic as physics come, I think. (Well, maybe aside from quantum physics.)

Anyway, here's a very British YouTube video that explains *how* the collider actually works. It doesn't say much about the black holes that people fear, but it sure is interesting anyway.

Re: LHC Explained


Thanks for sharing that link here.

I have to admit the LHC is a very impressive machine. Back in the day when it was still the LEC, the Large Electron Collider, I had the chance to visit CERN and see all the wonders of modern physics research. emoticon

Ahh, those were the days...

Very nice link! Thanks, Firle! I didn't know all the details of how it was actually set up. Very cool.

Also, welcome, Stargazer!

Re: LHC Explained


Ah, I guess I should welcome you as well. I was kind of saving it, thinking you'd send a post to the introduction corner of the forum some time soon as well. Still, that was kind of short sighted of me. emoticon

I have to admit I didn't know what to write to introduce myself, so I just sneaked in. emoticon

Aha! The stealth technique! Alas, we are far too penetrating and observant on this site to fall for that! MWAhahaha!

Re: LHC Explained


Wow! Those circles just keep getting bigger.

I saw a horizons episode last week about the big bang and how they reckon there must have been something before it.
There were several theories, one of them had a swiss cheese analogy.
I can't remember the details of most now, but it's far from my specialist area.

Re: LHC Explained


Fascinating link indeed! Enjoyed it.... emoticon
I watched a documentary on that sometime I think last year.....(My memory sucks! emoticon )...I love that sort of science........

We live less than 30 minutes from the new "Spaceport America".....I wish I'd live long enough and have enough money to go out on one of his ships some day...
