Cool Stuff inside Large Hadron Collider

By Katherine Lightwood 


Today I was very very angry with myself, for many reasons and silly reasons. Not here to complain but a funny thing happened. As I was in the climax of my anger I imagined a situation. What if I lock everyone inside the large hadron collider and switch on the machine. What will happen then? Well!! the answer might be very straightforward that they will die. But how exactly? Will they vaporize or a bit more fun thing, will they turn into someone from DC Characters like Flash or Firestorm... Well!! that would be super cool ...But that's not the reality.

So, Large Hadron Collider...quite fancy thing it is...!! Approximately eight years ago scientists used the most complicated machines ever to solve one of the greatest puzzles to vex the human race. And then they went "What if we kicked it up a notch...?"  The large hadron collider smashed the headlines when it confirmed the existence of Higgs Boson. This was a huge news in the world of particle physics because the discovery solved a few things...I mean problems.

As we understand it there are subatomic particles that carry the fundamental forces (except gravity as far as we know) called bosons. And in order for the math to work the Bosons should be massless. And actually, scientists observed some of them and found that certain kinds of bosons indeed have mass.

To solve the problem it was proposed by Peter Higgs (my favorite physicist) and other researchers in 60's that a field existed everywhere all the time and moving through this field give bosons and other particles their mass. The math predicted that if the field was excited by high energy collisions then you could jiggle the field in just the right way to briefly spring another particle together and the particle is what we call Higgs Boson.

But those mad scientists weren't content to dust off their hands on lab coats and call it a day. They decided to build a 27-kilometer underground loop of supercooled magnets and tubes and cameras of 5 stories high so that they could picture the protons smashing together at nearly the speed of light. And they did it with no guarantee that the Higgs boson could be found or even existed at all. See... folks that's the power of love and trust between the scientists and Higgs Boson. And this 'Love' led them to the discovery of the God Particle or "Higgs Boson".

So, that was my thought of the day. To see more posts like this make sure to visit our main page. And Do not forget to visit our institute's page to know more about graphic design, 3D, animation courses and other awesome stuff. Till then good day to you.

Mystic Flaming feather  By Katherine Lightwood A famous astrophysicist Carl Sagan once said, “Our universe is a pretty big place. If it’s just us then it seems like an awful waste of space.” This is a human tendency that we focus on ourselves so much, most of the time we tend to forget that there are other things which exist apart from us. It is quite a shame if we compare ourselves with this massive universe. The universe that we see is estimated to be 93 billion light-years across in diameter. Consisting of millions and millions of stars, planets, galaxies and other celestial entities we might never know about. Since the beginning of human civilization, we’ve seen how greed and condescending attitude of mankind has led to the demolition of so many empires through the course of history. We are given this life to be purposeful, not to dwell with each other over those silliest things. We should be responsible for our own actions that are leading to such huge destr

My Burton Styled Christmas Photo Manipulation By Shubho Halder Hello!! Beautiful people of the world!! How are you doing today? Might be parting , or sitting around campfires listening to some old tales that your grandparents might be telling you or getting bored like me or maybe doing something fun or completely irrelevant kinds of stuff that doesn't interest anyone. Well!! Keep doing whatever you wanna do because it's Christmas baby!!  And everything that Christmas brings is fun even if it's just gulping hot fudge and staring at the fireplace. So what's up with Christmas? Got any plans. Well!! I have planned a lot for tomorrow, that's why I am finishing my assignment that our teacher has given us so that I don't have to worry about anything later. Allow me to tell you a bit about my ' busy schedule' for tomorrow. First things first I will be going to Church with a bunch of my friends and after that, it's going to be a party al

That's how I got into my Christmas Vibe By Nandan Negi  It's one day to go and It's Christmas !! The festival of love, joy, happiness,  and prosperity . This time of the year always makes me so happy because it's winter and a month of festivity and fun . It's quite an exciting time for kids as well. 25th December is believed to be the birthday of Jesus Christ ,  the Savior,  and a Messiah. And the whole world celebrates this day to pay homage to his auspicious birth . Lord Jesus was born to mother Mary,   as it was a divine prophecy by archangel Gabriel. After he was born he did lots of miracles due to which people around him believed that he had something special as normal humans couldn't do that. He has powers like healing people  or producing food out of nothing . It is believed that once he fed his hungry disciples when they had nothing to eat. He just prayed and all the empty baskets were filled with lots of fresh fish, bread and wine.
