Baby Bang experiment could open the door to new dimension

Monday September 11 , 2006

Deep underground on the Franco-Swiss border, someone will throw a switch next year to start one of the most ambitious experiments in history, probing the secrets of the universe and possibly finding new dimensions.

The Large Hadron Collider - a 27km-long circular particle accelerator at the CERN experimental facility near Geneva, will smash protons into one another at unimaginable speeds trying to replicate in miniature the events of the Big Bang.

"These beams will have the kinetic energy of an aircraft carrier slammed into the size of a zero on a 20p piece," Brian Cox of Manchester University told the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.

"We are going to make mini Big Bangs.

"There has never been such a jump in particle physics. It will go into an area that we don't really understand," he added.

The fundamental goal of the massive machine is to answer the basic but crucial question of how matter was created at the birth of the universe.

"We don't know what 95 per cent of the universe is made of - which is a bit embarrassing for a subject that claims to be fundamental," Dr Cox said.

"There is dark matter. It is all over the place but we have no idea what it is."

"There is also something called dark energy, and that is an even bigger question.

"It makes up about 70 per cent of the energy in the universe, but again we have absolutely no idea what it is.

"It is an incredibly exciting machine. It will be turned on next year and run for at least a decade and probably 20 years and the first results - if the machine behaves itself - should start coming out within a year," he added.

If the theories are correct, the machine will create tiny black holes that evaporate and possibly even find particles that offer evidence that the three dimensions known to mankind are just a fraction of those that exist.

"That would be an even bigger headline than the black holes. It could be that there is a whole new universe a millimetre away from our heads but at right-angles to the three dimensions that are here," Dr Cox said.

"That would be a real paradigm shift - our relegation to a little sheet in a multi-dimensional universe.

"That kind of thing is really profound and will capture the imagination that perhaps the origin of mass won't, although it should.

"For the first time in many decades we have built a machine that exceeds our powers of prediction.

"New processes are bound to be discovered. We are truly journeying into unknown territory."

Dr Cox dismissed worries that by adventuring into the unknown and creating tiny black holes, the machine could even destroy the planet.

"The probability is at the level of 10 to the minus 40," he said.

MINI BANGS

* Scientists aim to reproduce miniature versions of the so-called Big Bang, which is thought to have started the universe.

* To do this they will smash protons together at huge speeds along a 27km tube known as a particle accelerator.

* They hope to create tiny black holes or find extra dimensions in the universe.

* They estimate the possibility of accidentally destroying the planet as extremely low.

* The risk is calculated at about 10 to the minus 40 - a 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance.

I love shit like this.

Mini big bangs- LOL, contadiction non...?

they know that something makes up 95% of the universe but they dont know what it is

"They estimate the possibility of accidentally destroying the planet as extremely low". LMAO, science is overly dope.

Does amuse me greatly

Excellent we've found out how the universe was created

Oh dear, we appear to have blown up the planet.

I remember years ago reading about a pointless scientific experiment where a researcher was trying to find out how much electricity an ape could take to it's head before it dies.

When asked what this was supposed to acheive, he replied that it showed how much electricity it took to kill an ape.

So if anyone is thinking of killing an ape via electrodes to the head, it's probably worth looking up his research.

Scientists have to be the most interesting people alive standardly.

americans have these too, they are called particle accelerators

lol he sounds like one of those warped fukas who puts cats in microwaves "scientific experiment" my arse he's just a fuked up individual who likes to torcher fury animals

this is big!!!!
is very tellin that the guy mentions that dimensions are/cud be milimetres from our heads but are @ right angles to our 3d experience of the reality (the egyptian esoteric texts say exactly this!)
is a bit concerning that the guy doesn't mention the Zero Point research that answers many questions with regard to dark matter/energy (science politics perhaps?)
big up luke for this, very interesting to find out whats going on @ CERN

Yeah, big up Luke, nice to have someone researching this kind of mad science for the offtopic masses! Always interested to hear about this kind of thing

Dr Jim Brooke, who posts on here as Jim Beats, works at CERN and is heavily involved with this project (they just gave up on the Higgs Boson recently

)

theres this nuts thing which scientists cant explain....
wether u believe in string theory or not all particles are made up of smaller components (neutrons/electrons whtver i dont even have the words

) and they are dissappearing and re-appearing all the time, they dont know where they are going but they are def going somewhere which isnt here

so theyre sayin they could be a co-existance of the same body/object in another dimension or timespace

just the fact they dont know where the particles are going is mad enough

check this 24 part multi dimensional manga its spinning me out at the mo, you'd need to watch a few episodes to get the philosphy tho

Some experiments in switzerland discovered some sets of sub-atomic particles (some type of quark?) that appear to be linked in a manner that cannot be accounted for by our usual conceptions of the nature of spacetime.

They took the two particles from a set to different locations, many kilometres apart. They found that when they changed the spin of one of the particles, the spin of the other one of the pair changed equally almost instantaneously (i.e. faster than anything at the speed of light could have travelled between them).

i.e. they were linked in a manner that didn't require exchange of particles or shit, so maybe in another dimension. (g)eek!

Oh, and Americans have had particle accelerators for years, but not one 20 odd K long!
The longer it is the higher energy you can get the particle up to, and the more you can discover (hopefully)
