The Large Hadron Collider

Yesterday in class we were assigned to write a list of at least ten topics that we are curious about. One student in particular mentioned the topic of the LHC experiment. I was thinking the same thing as you are. What? Then another student mentioned it as well. I think it was fair to say that I should know a little bit about it as well. It seemed as if the Gods were listening. When I got home and settled down, I turned on the television and low and behold History channel was doing a documentary about the LHC experiment. I think they are about to test it today, that would explain the hoopla about it.
This experiment is over 15 years old. It was designed and is maintained by some of the great minds in the fields ranging from electronics to physics. From what I understand the experiment is designed to simulate what happened at the precise moment of the Big Bang. Scientists from the beginning of time pondered how the universe started and what did it look like. If this experiment is successful, it will give us insight about dark matter and more information about the atom. There are many other conclusions that can be drawn from the collision of particles.
What I find amazing is that they will be able to tell what most likely happened at the first nano second in time. Some theorize that an object may have occupied two spaces at the same time. However what is paramount for me is that we will be able to tell how humans and animals became in existence. That is awesome, to potentially know how atoms combined to form organs and our nervous system.
What is also astonishing to see is the power of the Almighty. The Almighty knows and is everything yet is not selfish. We have been given the power to discover everything. You would think that we would be satisfied with reaching and exploring outer space. But like a true intellect who is always searching for more, we continue to push the limit. That is what is great about mankind.
