End of the…Universe?
Posted in Uncategorized on Aug 26th, 2008
The LHC is only weeks away from running it’s first test which may result in the creation of black holes on the atomic level. By atomic, I mean very, very small. The whole purpose of the Large Hedron Collider is to attempt to recreate the beginning of the universe. The Big Bang.
It’s looking like it will be a successful experiment, which has me excited. But there are some reservations as well. Now mind you, I’m not really all that concerned that something Earth shattering will occur (in the literal sense), but SOMETHING will happen.
Hypothetically, what happens if they launch these particles at each other and this exact scenario is what caused The Big Bang itself? I mean, think about it. We, as humans are going to be recreating the event that created us. What if this has happened hundreds, thousands, infinite times before. What if this event is the big bang? I’m still hyped.
