Final Piece Falls Into Particle Collider’s Jigsaw; Finally! - Gizmo Watch
"The particle accelerator in a 17-mile tunnel under the Swiss-French border is without a shadow of doubt the largest scientific instrument in the whole wide world. Its physical dimensions are amazing; the Hadron Collider has a mammoth diameter of 30 feet. Friday saw the final major piece fitted into the machine after which the machine was lowered 330 feet down into a shaft.
The Large Hadron Collider is supposed to answer questions of how matter and universe came into existence. This it would do by firing protons and making them collide at the speed of light. The initial tests on the device were successful and full-fledged tests are expected to take place this year.
The major piece that was fitted on Friday was a wheel containing a cluster of tightly packed detector chambers. These chambers will trace the particles that come off protons’ collision. The multi-billion project has faced a number of hiccups since the work started way back in 2003, and needless to say all the scientists involved let out a heavy sigh of relief on Friday.A number of nations are invested in the project and thousands of scientists are involved in the tests that’ll be conducted in the new collider. Maybe we’ll soon enough unravel the mystery behind the creation of universe. And hopefully without any of the worst-case scenarios predicted by Mr. Dan Brown. "
