Thousands of years ago, a foolish old man predicted the world to be composed of four elements: fire, water, wind, and earth. Of course, his theory was soon eradicated and replaced with our general insane knowledge of atoms, and how they are composed of neutrons, electrons, and protons. In recent years, scientists stepped further into the unknown and discovered quantum physics. This mind bobbling theory states that all matter are made of waves, and all matter communicate inside the "Higgs Field" (the very reason matter is matter). Not confusing enough? Well take this, electrons are of the lepton family, which can be divided down into muons and neutrinos. Hadrons (or protons and neutrons) on the other hand, can be divided into 6 quarks: up, down, top, bottom, charm, and strange. These are believed to be the smallest indivisible units of matter.
What? Indivisible? That's total bs. Yes, that's what the scientists thought too. Well, their theory is a little different. Some actually believe that these "indivisible units" contain zero mass (according to string theory, the faster an electron moves, the less mass it has. When it reaches the speed of light, its mass is practically zero). This is the biggest, newest, and the most up-to-date scientific question today. And guess what? It could be answered within your lifetime.
On November 26th 2007, the $8billion dollar experimental facility will have its first run. The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) is the biggest particle accelerator of its kind, as you can see on the picture above. Putting it into simpler words, the experiment will consist of two guns blasting hadrons directly at each other so fast that the hadrons will split, reenacting a mini big-bang. So what happens when they split? Either the scientists may observe and solve the ultimate question of science "where do we come from? " Or a black hole will form and the earth will be swallowed in a split second (at least it's painless).
Coming Soon November 26th.
By the way, you write really well.
By the way, the chance of a black hole forming is about the same as dropping a pen through a table. We all know it's impossible, but according the quantum physics, the chances of it happening is only CLOSE to zero; again, we never see it happen. Scientists will most likely make the biggest discovery in human history when the hadrons collide.
