Large Hadron Collider

Ever wanted to know why/how our planet Earth is stuck in an orbit around the Sun? What force is holding other planets from falling off into the unknown space? How black holes are formed? How does gravity really work? And the ever famous question - how was the universe formed?

Well, we might get to know answers (at least for some of these questions) sooner than we thought. At least that's what all the scientists at CERN dream so. They built the world's largest and most expensive science experiment ever called the Large Hadron Collider, (shortly called as LHC) and successfully circulated its first beams today.

You can read more about LHC here.

Even Google celebrated the launching of this experiment by devoting a LHC logo on their home page today.



Here's a cool rap video from the CERN scientists. Informative and sticky.
