This experiment is based on the theory of the large big bang that took

place in universe billions billions ago...

YOU can get some information about this experiment .....

These are the facts about universe

The universe is 13.7 billion years old.

• All the matter in the universe used to be very close together (very dense)
• The universe used to be a very uniform cloud of energy/mass despite it being
• very clumpy today (galaxies being those clumps)
• Space began to expand and pushed matter apart
• The expansion of space is accelerating
• In the beginning the universe was so hot all the universal forces (gravitation, electromagnetism, etc.)
• were one force
• The accelerating expansion of the universe will one day spread galaxies so far apart we
• will not be
• able to see them because the light leaving them will constantly have new space created
• in front of it

The observations of astronomers imply that the Universe is still expanding from an infinitely dense and energetic state, after an initial 'hot big bang' some 15 billion years ago.

The Big Bang theory says that the universe was very hot and concentrated in the distant past and, ever since then, space has been stretching and cooling. This is the only theory that successfully explains the observations made by astronomers.

The Big Bang was not an explosion.

The lightest chemical elements in the universe were made in nuclear fusion reactions when the universe was very hot and concentrated

The Big Bang theory is one of the most strongly supported theories in all of science. It explains the observed facts; it has made successful predictions; it has stood the test of time; and there is no alternate theory that the professional scientific community deems valid.

Astronomers see galaxies moving apart from one another: space in the universe is stretching.

The Big Bang theory explains the most basic observed properties of our universe

Some of the general Questions that might arise in ones mind..........

a) The Large Hadron Collider experiment is linked to the ‘Big Bang’ theory. What is this theory all about?

ANS-The creation of the Universe. ‘The Big Bang theory’ is a model used by physicists to explain the creation of the Universe. According to this theory, the Universe was created billions of years ago when matter and anti-matter collided creating a big bang. This theory was proposed by a Catholic priest named Lemaitre.

b)Which is the organisation responsible for conducting the Big Bang (LHC) experiment?

ANS-CERN. The Big Bang experiment is being conducted by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, which is located in Geneva. Interestingly the birth of the World Wide Web is said to have happened at CERN.

c)A popular term used in the Big Bang experiment is LHC. What does this stand for?

ANS- Large Hadron Collider. LHC stands for the Large Hadron Collider. This is a particle accelerator built by CERN for the Big Bang experiment. The collider is meant to be used to make hadrons or protons collide with each other. This collision is meant to recreate the conditions that happened after the original Big Bang. This is to enable scientists to understand more about the creation of the world.

d)The Big Bang experiment is being carried out to find out the ‘God particle’. By what name is this particle called?

ANS-Higgs boson particle. The Higgs boson particle is named after two scientists Jack Higgs and Satyendranath Bose. This particle is referred to as ‘God particle’. Scientists believe that the Big Bang created the Higgs boson particle, which in turn led to further events leading to the creation of the Universe. Scientists believe that the LHC experiment would produce the Higgs boson particle.

e)In which country did the Big Bang experiment start?

. The LHC tunnel is located under the earth and spans two countries Switzerland and France. A major part of the LHC complex is located in France.

THE BIG BANG:

It sure was BIG!!
