helloooo
ahah
i've finally gotten another new skin
its nicer then the previous one
i seem to like black backgrounds
kinda cool
and this picture gives the blog a comforting and peaceful feel
its designed based on the Hillsongs Song "To The Ends Of The Earth"
ok
school today was pretty ok
for the first time, i slept in physics for 20 mins straight
omg
the only redeeming point here is that i kinda gt the answers to the time trial that mr gohel was going thru correct
so i guess..i can be pardoned?
haha
PE was hilariously boring
at least boring for me
we learnt the house mass dance for this year's open hse
seriously funneh
hahahah
here's the dance we have to learn
hmm..
today at home, i was as usual reading news online
opened many tabs browsing
and this article caught my eye yet again
i think it was almost 4 months since the news caught my attention
HEADLINES: CERN TO ACTIVATE NEW ATOM SMASHER ON SEPTEMBER 11
Background info:
CERN is the European Organisation for Nuclear Research.
It is the world's largest particle physics laboratory.
It has spent the past 4 to 5 years building a 27km long underground tunnel that cuts the French and Swiss border four times.
This tunnel, is the place where the new atom smasher is located.
It is called the Large Hadron Collider, and has split the physics world into 2 segments.
Below are 10 facts that I think you should know about this potentially DANGEROUS physics experiment that ahs global effects
1) In each atom, there are PROTONS,NEUTRONS,ELECTRONS,QUARKS,GLUONS. Scientist believe there are even smaller particles that existed for a millionth of a second after the Big Bang, and are curious to find out what they are. This can help them to study further how the Universe is formed, including the roles of Dark Matter.
2) The LHC experiment when at full force will take one millionth of a second to be completed. This is because the protons beams would be beamed through the LHC at a speed slightly lower then the speed of light. However, tomorrow, only one beam in the counterclockwise direction would be beamed out at a low speed. Scientists feel that it would take several days to get the right precision.
3) When the atoms collide at the full speed, the force created would be massive enough to simulate conditions of a big bang, causing many unseen and mysterious stuffs to appear for a millionth of a second. 4 giant detectors would capture all this data and send it back to the CERN headquarters for Physicist to scan through and make discoveries.
4) These stuffs includes the possibilities of smaller particles then quarks, which existed for a short while only after the Big Bang, Dark Matter, Anti-Matter, New dimensions up to the possible 10th, and most interestingly, black holes.
5) Protestors of this experiment are worried about the possible effects of the black holes on Earth. Black Holes have gravitational fields of their own which can be strong enough to suck in the entire Earth in that one millionth of a second. While CERN have dismissed those theories, the fact that millions of small black holes could be produced are not to be taken lightly as several scientists puts it. It could accumulate and eventually be strong enough to destroy Earth.
6) Many are worried that playing with experiments of unproven stuffs are dangerous and should be left alone. Einstein law of relativity, and all other funny laws have not yet been proven, because they required the Big Bang existence. Hence, these theories are not proven yet essentially. Still, scientists are using these exact same unproven theories to create a machine prove the unproven theories. If one of the theories are essentially wrong, then everything would be a failure.
7) Even if the black hole does not occur, the chance of excess radiation is possible. It is essentially still risky.
8) Scientist hope to use such experiments to create conditions for a time machine in the future. They hope to be able to not only travel back to the past, but also communicate with people of the future. Would this go against the theory of time?
9) The LHC is built by over 10000 scientists around the world, and at a cost of 500 million US dollars.
10) Finally, the first beam should be produced soon.
These are just what several articles online ahs to say. But CERN has strongly refuted them all. However, I feel that all that sceptics have said will probably not come true. Its kinda wierd that if people can go to the past and future, where then does it put the soverignty of God? Its a warp sense of time. No wonder people say religion and science are enemies.
Still, I'm pretty curious about this experiment.
I mean, imagine a study on the tenth dimension.
Imagine Einstein proved wrong.
Imagine this.
All our physics concepts would be wrong!
If only the machine proves Einstein wrong.
That would be brilliant.
Here is a rap video on the LHC.
alrites
thats bout it
haha
tml must chiong econs homework
=S
alrites
cya all for tml post. updates on the LHC tml =D
nites!
