well theoretically this is a monument! kinda like the eifle tower! why? cause it's the biggest particle accelerator on the planet and maybe we are advancing because of this thing.

Some of the brighest minds the world has ever seen and you say, " I think they are wasting their time". Priceless.

No it's true... This will recreate a similar occurrence to what happened during the big bang due to the sudden release of so much energy, just on a smaller scale. But it's not like a civil war reenactment... one of the reason we recreate circumstances like this in science is to help prove that it did happen like we think it did... If all the math checks out but we have results drastically different from what we expected, it will force us to rethink the beginning.

they're trying to find the basics of basics and from there, what comes from the basics

I was just going off what I heard in that one video about it explaining how the LHC worked... it seems like they are trying to figure out what exactly happened right after the Big Bang to me.... based on what I heard the guy saying in the video.

The LHC has nothing to do with testing whether the big bang happend or not.It is certainly not recreating it.It is a particle physics experiment."I think they are wasting their time."How do you know that when you have no idea what they are doing or what they are looking for?

You are correct, it was damaged a week after its first diagnostic test was conducted. No collisions have yet been conducted.

The LHC will be conducting thousands of experiments, encompassing all facets of physical and material sciences, its not just to find the higgs or origins of GRAND UNIFICATION (not the big bang!)

Zackeizer96 (May 27, 2009 at 7:39 am)

This is kind of weird because they don't even know for sure if the Big Bang happened, and they are treating it like fact. So they've spent years and years and Billions of Dollars on something because they are trying to re-enact something that may not have taken place... I think they are wasting their time. When they do look at the facts, they will just be feeding their pre-conceived ideas of how the universe began.

some people have too much time on their hands

did they switch it on yet, or is it ready for the switch?

We will not create some black hole and all die, that's a common popular believe which is proven to be physically impossible.
