Hadron Collider Scientists A Step Closer to Birth of
Universe
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider situated on the French / Swiss border reported this week that they have made a significant step towards recreating the conditions present at the birth of our universe, and to understanding life as we know it.
The scientists were able for the first time to smash ions together in the super collider, whereas before only protons had been smashed. Scientists say that the collision of the tiny particles is able to produce temperatures 100,000 times hotter than those in the sun. A spokesman for the experiment says that what the scientists are attempting to recreate is conditions present just a few millionths of a second after the Big Bang, the theoretic beginning of the universe.
The experiment, which is referred to as ALICE, or A Large Ion Collider Experiment, is being conducted by the European Laboratory for Nuclear Research with participation of hundreds of physicists, technicians, and engineers from all over the world. Many of these participating scientists will study the aftereffects of the ion collision in the coming weeks as they try to further their understanding of the emergence of our universe.
The lead ion, according to a spokesman, is an atom of lead that does not contain electrons, hence it is likely similar to what matter existed in the few millionths of a second following the Big Bang. By combining more basic elements, the scientists hope to improve their understanding of how assorted particles came together to create the universe and everything it contains.
