The protons will each have an energy of 7 TeV, giving a total collision energy of 14 TeV. At this energy the protons have a gamma factor of about 7,500 and move at about 99.999999% of light speed. It will take less than 90 microseconds for a proton to travel once around the main ring (a speed of about 11,000 revolutions per second). Rather than continuous beams, the protons will be bunched together, into 2,808 bunches, so that interactions between the two beams will take place at discrete intervals never shorter than 25 ns apart. When the collider is first commissioned, it will be operated with fewer bunches, to give a bunch crossing interval of 75 ns. The number of bunches will later be increased to give a final bunch crossing interval of 25 ns.


Smile wooooh were all gonna die..

its gonna collide two protons against each other a 99.9999999% of the speed of light to see what happens, they think they'll find the higgs particle or "god" particle, that makes up most of the mass of the universe...and of course, theres the small chance it will create a black hole that eats the earth.

The shear amount they have put into the LHC is astounding. It's a ring with a diameter of 27km 100m below the French and Swiss Alps. Simply the largest particle accelerator ever devised by man kind. Their aim is to reproduce conditions produced phentoseconds after the Big Bang. Whatever happens, it will be spectacular

You all realise that even if it does create a black hole theyve calculated it to take about 4 years to eat the entire earth.

Well if somebody is religious here, the bible says the world's ending in 2012:"There will be the end of civilization, or humanity will be elevated to a higher level, or a new human species will evolve, or some other major catastrophe will occur".

"or humanity will be elevated to a higher level", I think this one means everybody will be riding bikes in 2012.

the bible doesn't say that. the ancient Mayans beleived that. if you have ever played Assassin's Creed, which is a wicked-ass game, when you beat it you see all this shit about 2012.

it has something to do with unlucky number 13. in the year 2012, the time can be 12:12 12,12,2012. but the year after that, 2013, can't happen like that. it's a bunch of weird shit. you can probably find out about it on wikipedia or something.

Yes you're right, i misread that sorry. Altough some writters(Michael Drosnin) think that there's a certain connection of 2012 with the bible like an asteroid colliding with earth. But i don't care anymore, we were suppose to die in 2000 and we are still hereSmile.

This is really interesting... lol Now if it does somehow create a massive black hole that consumes the world, we will be forever know as the people who got killed by their curiosity of how everything got started. So is this device trying to recreate the big bang? Or what are they trying to figure out?

I'm sure they will learn something from this, whether it be good or bad. Though it would be quite disappointing if nothing happened. Razz

To everyone who said the world is going to end, you fail.

They said that it will take them about a decade(10 years to those who don't know that) to actually analyze the data and understand what actually went down. But their were incidents where young teens had heard rumors of the collider possibly ending the world and commiting suicide. There was an article on google yesterday that told you info about the collider as well as related stories involving anything around it.

They tested it. It worked. If they find the higgs particle, that will tell so much about the universe. It my even lead to what made the universe. and it is vurtuly impossible to create a black hole. you need to have two rings of anti- madder, which is going backwords through tim, and cross those two rings, which again is impossible. but I have no clue whats going to happen in 2012. But I am scared because the miians predicted everything for 5ooo years. every full moon, sunset, and eclipse. they must know somthings going to happen in 2012.
